Yes, it's intentional. It represents the difficulty in keeping one's balance. For reference, check squat toilets:

Some of us aren't exactly desirable and I refuse to marry someone for purely financial reasons, I want to, you know, actually love the person I marry...

Sadly, some are:

So it came as no surprise when a new study by CIA Landlord recently revealed that Tinder users who specify that they own a property in their profile receive 57% more matches than those who don’t.

🎶She likes me for me🎶

🎶Not because I own property🎶

🎶Or because I'm such a hottie🎶

How much power does the brain consume? In bagels. How many bagels does ChatGPT consume?

The great thing about math is that it's interchangeable.

https://rpsc.energy.gov/energy-data-facts#collapse-accordion-25-3

The average U.S. household used about 77 million British thermal units (Btu) in 2015

https://www.inchcalculator.com/convert/british-thermal-unit-to-kilocalorie/

The energy in kilocalories is equal to the energy in british thermal units multiplied by 0.252164.

33,000 households x 77,000,000 Btu/household x 0.252164 kcal/Btu = 640,748,724,000 kcal

https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-bagels

One plain medium-sized bagel –  about 100 grams – has about 264 calories

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/kcal-vs-calories

Instead, the terms calories — capitalized or not — and kcal are used interchangeably and refer to the same amount of energy

640,748,724,000 kcal / 264 kcal/bagel = 2,427,078,500 bagels

Your homework is finding out how much energy the brain consumes in bagels

Just showing appreciation for "Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe."

That's Three Stooges-level of classic comedy, bravo!

As with most legal matters, it depends: https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/index.html

Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. This does not mean, however, that all nonprofit education and noncommercial uses are fair and all commercial uses are not fair; instead, courts will balance the purpose and character of the use against the other factors below. Additionally, “transformative” uses are more likely to be considered fair. Transformative uses are those that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work. Nature of the copyrighted work: This factor analyzes the degree to which the work that was used relates to copyright’s purpose of encouraging creative expression. Thus, using a more creative or imaginative work (such as a novel, movie, or song) is less likely to support a claim of a fair use than using a factual work (such as a technical article or news item). In addition, use of an unpublished work is less likely to be considered fair.

I don't know many schools willing to bother finding out whether the use was fair.

The way parents can stop this is by asking the school whether they had a license from Disney to show the movie.

The permission slips are just proof they showed the movie to a large group of people (most likely without a license, because what school has a budget for that?)

Take their money in exchange for what many consider "food," typically.

Oh, y'all still have wait staff?

We have "digital kitchens" now: https://stories.whataburger.com/whataburger-debuts-new-digital-kitchen-all-the-flavor-with-more-convenience/

Same wait without the staff, tables . . . or blackjack

Saw a recent video from America's Test Kitchen where they recommend temping baked potatoes and docking the skins: https://piped.video/watch?v=iG7wEqs9j4E

In the comments, someone said they had potatoes explode after baking, letting them cool for a bit, then re-baking.

Personally, I don't usually bake enough potatoes to justify turning on the oven, so I microwave them; which is notorious for for getting food everywhere without adequate supervision.
