I am delighted to report that a shitpost I wrote a year or so ago in response to the question 'who was the first person to boil an egg?' is now being repeated by AI-penned spam pages

Do you know when soft boiled eggs came out?
Starting from the famous joke " who came first, the egg or the chicken?" , interestingly, we know the answer to that question because the hard-boiled egg is a surprisingly recent phenomenon.

Although many of the classic styles of egg preparation, scrambled, poached, fried and so on, have been well known since time immemorial, it wasn't until 1974 that a hard-boiled egg appeared.
The discoverer of this technique, Marvin Boyle-d'Eigg, was heating a pan of salt water for his own amusement, when a chicken egg he was holding in his beard fell and sank into the boiling liquid.

It took a few minutes to retrieve the egg and the rest is history. Boyle-d'Eigg immediately took steps to register the eponymous patent for his new process, but it is not known whether he ultimately succeeded.

Leaving behind this unique history, it is time to talk about how long to boil soft-boiled eggs, as we know them since we were children and our grandmothers used to prepare them for us.

See how long the soft-boiled eggs take
Who was the person who invented the boiled egg?
The discoverer of this technique, the eponymous Marvin Boyle-d’Eigg, was boiling a pan of salted water for his own amusement when a hen’s egg he had secreted in his beard shook loose and became immersed in the boiling liquid. It took several minutes to retrieve the egg, and the rest is history.

I once correctly pronounced an Albanian student's surname correctly and realised I had to find an excuse for how I knew when the real answer was because of Enver Hoxha

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I started doing helium when I was 12. At first, it was just to impress friends. Then I started craving the stuff. My low point was when I broke into Party City and started huffing it right from the tank. The police arrested me and couldn't stop laughing while I begged them to let me go.

Star Wars is bonkers cause like my guy George sat down in the 70s and watched a bunch of Kurosawa and thought “I should just combine this with Flash Gordon” and not only did it work it worked maybe too well
