About the blocking attempts reagarding accuracy; here in the Netherlands the older analog meters could only measure real power. The reasoning is that the new smart meters don't do this, but instead measure in another way, causing consumers to also pay for reactive power. In reality, this isn't true, but the urban legend is strong.

It's the same word on paper, but pronounced different. Italians tend to speak the vowels longer, with a slightly different sound (the "a" in American sounds like an "uh", in Italian like a long "ah"). They also speak out both t's separately.

Pronounciation differs in Italian, so when they mispronounce, it probably wont't sound like their American counter parts.

This one. I don't like the other things you mention. I did join a sub reddit on the topic years ago, but it was awful. Full of people who didn't know anything of the subject, but were very willing to downvote.

A few years ago, stories submerged that if you allow a bee to sting your weiner, it would be permanently enlarged. I wouldn't try it though, for one, bee stings hurt as hell, another thing is I wouldn't want to risk damaging my dinghy.

I googled it (to try and be a smart ass), a kiwi egg is 80 mm in diameter. So you are probably correct in your assesment.

Not all gay people engage in anal sex.

These are the same people who would condemn gays.
