“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I’m DYING for Shanks’ fleet of misfits to meet Luffy. There’s a rumor that Emperor of the Sea Straw-Hat Luffy is looking to fight Shanks, so of course the Red-Hair fleet is feeling Protective TM and gearing up for a fight… only to find out that this literal sunshine goofball loves and respects their captain as much as they do <3

I love finding out new things about Saint Robin Williams

Can we spare a moment to just discuss how

How in the everloving HELL

Shanks managed to net Benn Beckman as his first mate?

Like this silly lil redhead, who was still a teenager when he watched his own captain be publicly executed

And lost his clown bff

And was all alone and had nowhere else to turn to

And somehow managed to find an intelligent, patient, gentle giant of a big bro to recruit as his first mate??

Like. Beck is twelve years older than Shanks, and far superior in IQ, but.

I picture Shanks just huddled in a corner of an alley in the pouring rain with nowhere to go, and Beck working as a bartender stepping out back to throw out trash and finding him there, and Shanks just looking up with those puppy dog eyes and

"Join my crew please...? 🥺"

And Beck is just SIGH I guess this is my life now

I have multiple headcanons of how they could have met, but this one just persists.

Just immediately this dumbass is now my little brother and I must protect him from his own stupididty

And being forever and constantly surprised that Shanks hasn't somehow managed to unalive himself over the years

But also incredibly proud of the overpowered little dum-dum at every turn like

"Beck they're calling me a 'Yonko' should I be insulted"

"That's...no, that's a compliment, captain."

"Really?! 😀"

"😑"

And

"Beck why is this weird child gnawing on my arm"

"That's just Luffy, he seems to think you're a good role model"

"Oh. Uh, neat? *proceeds to teach weird child everything he knows*"

"exhausted sigh"

And now it's come full-circle with Luffy and Zoro. Silly overpowered dumbass and his protective big bro.

When the Red Hairs and the Strawhats finally meet, Beck is just going to look at Zoro and go "You too, huh?"

And Zoro's going to glance between Luffy and Shanks being happy lil dipshits together and be like "..........Yeah. Pretty much."

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
