The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I’m still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I’m a gringo, I shouldn’t have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

    I understand why we have timezones, but I’ve never heard an explanation for leap seconds that was particularly compelling.

    I know that years and days don’t exactly match up, but as far as I’m concerned, whoever it is that’s being inconvenienced by the Earth being a few seconds out of rotation can go figure out their own workaround instead of messing up a million peoples’ daily rollup scripts.
