We're de= finitely moving into summer now. In Kentucky, this means the daily fo= recast becomes "hot, humid, chance of thunderstorms" for the next four mont= hs. It also means the sun rising at 6 a.m. and setting after 9 p.m., which = is rough for me because I wake up automatically when the sun comes up. = ; I do like all the daylight, though. Got a big announcement in the = next couple weeks or so (note: it could push a little longer depending on s= tuff in motion) that I could use your help on - TotalFarkers are gonna get = it first and get to have input on it in the early design stages. Now = would be a [great time to sign up for TotalFark](3D".=) and help me d= esign this. It could be a very big deal. The only hint I can gi= ve at this time is it's something that's never been tried before. And no, i= t's not me running for office or NFTs or free puppy day. This week o= n the [Fark News Livestream](3D") with me, Lucky, Chri= stine and Dill: Come enjoy the last afternoon before the news cycle turns s= uper serious. Christine is back from her trip and will tell us all ab= out the disasters she encountered. I'm just assuming this happened, b= ecause it always does. I'm not sure yet which stories are going to ma= ke it in, however I can't tell you the ones that will because I think they'= d get caught in spam filters due to suggestive content. So you have t= hat to look forward to, Thursday 4 p.m. Eastern. _______________________= _ End Drew transmission _________= _______________ Top Co= mments Some of the top-voted smartest and funniest commen= ts from the past week Funny: nigeman w= as [upset with Millie Bobby Brown](3D"=)Invincible admitted to being [responsible for a wave of cybercrimes](3D") bdub77 = strong> found that [apartment problems= can follow you to a single-family home](3D"http=) bearded clamorer = trong> had [a strange way of wearing s= wimsuits](3D".=) Ass_Master_Flash asked a question about&n= bsp;[a woman who wants to marry an airplane=](3D") Petit_Merdeux had a [reason for not wanting to make $450,000 a year](3D" Tele= monianAjax knew [the most A= labama way to kill someone](=3D" Brawndo was [ready to party all night long](3D") fra= gMasterFlash added the sign= that a "cave" in a real estate listing was missing foo monk= ey explained [having a deep = connection with Fark](3D"=) Smart: kermit the forg = commented on [posthumous tri= butes to one of the children who was killed at the school shooting in Uvald= e, Texas](3D"=) Pocket Ninja observed that [people want something but they don't wanna pay for = it](3D") HedlessChickn [turned right around and went back out the door](3D" brokenbiscu= its warned us about the wil= d things that can happen when you experiment with cryptocurrency rickythepenguin figured [some "fans" might want to look at the bigger picture](3D" koder= knew [how reporters could'v= e had more time at the Uvalde school district building before being forced = to leave](3D"https:/=) drxym examined [Elon Musk's recent treatment of Tesla employees](3D" = CSB Sunday Morning theme: [Adventures in auctions, online or in person=](3D") Smart: tenalquot shared [a heartwarming eBay story](3D") Funny: = benelane learned that [auctions weren't the only thing keeping Grandma occupied](3D" = Politics Funny: diIdo tontine [gave a bit more info to go with Pocket Ninja= rong>'s explanation of the dangers of "hot hemp"](3D") DON.MAC = trong> let us know [the proper name fo= r your toy collection](3D"http=) Petit_Merdeux knew [how anti-woke people will get revenge on Pizza= Hut for being woke](3D") Pocket Ninja shared [a shocking bit of trivia about Joe Biden](3D") EvilEgg explained [how the state of Texas keeps tabs on how many self-pleasuring devices eac= h Texan owns](3D" Politics Smart: wademh = > explained [why a comic of a dog wait= ing by the door for an Uvalde student hits some people so hard](3D"=) hubiestubert talked about [what teachers and schools need so they can effectively intervene](3D" hubiestubert shared a story about [a pastor who's so bad you'll leave the country to get away fr= om him](3D") bostonguy let us know [what effect it will have that Uvalde police, school distri= ct and city officials have stopped talking to reporters and the general pub= lic](3D") Bith Set Me Up supported the assertion that&nb= sp;[what is depicted as "real America" and = "regular folks" is skewed toward white conservatism and ignores socio-econo= mic status](3D") Top Contest E= ntries Some of the top-voted contest entries from last we= ek Photoshops: west.la.lawyer gave us&= nbsp;[the most adorable giant monster](3D")Yammering_Splat_Vector chose [a bad time to sneak up on someone](3D" samsquatch = trong> [made a spacesuit out of recycled ma= terials](3D") Yammering_Splat_Vector joined [a tour of Space Force headquarters](3D") west.la.lawyer showed us [e= lectrical attraction](3D" Octafrye [took this singer back in time](3D") Yammering_Splat_V= ector [put a dog up for adoption RedZoneTuba](3D".=)[switc= hed to end zone cymbals](3D" RedZoneTuba [finally dumped this guy](3D") RedZoneTuba = ong> [didn't want a red butt](3D") Farktography theme: [Pairs](=3D") sherpa18 photographed [a pair of elderly tuxedo siblings](3D" Fark Headlines of the Week A selection of som= e of the top headlines from last week [♫♪ Stabbed with a bat = and you're to blame, here you go, a flash-bang ♫♪](3D") [Italy plants tracking chips in 100,000= wheels of parmesan to defeat counterfeits as technically, any product made= outside country's special region is merely sparkling white cheese](3D") [The Am= erican way of death meets the American way of dying](3D") [14= 3 sheep killed fleeing from wolves in southwestern Idaho.

Unfortunately, no one made = it into the 1000 club, which I guess means more back bacon for me. Denjiro came out on top with 954, followed by Vo= oDoo_Blonde in second with 935 and Pieru in = third with 911. KRSESQ made fourth with 900, and = ;No Catchy Nickname made it into the top five with 878. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about the defin= ition of "behest." Only 29% of quiztakers knew that a "behest" was an autho= ritative order or urgent prompting. Acting "at the behest of" someone = else means they told you to do something, not that you're acting on someone= else's behalf. For instance, "The first lady's Behest campaign began when = the president told her to find a cause to appear active in to keep his poll= numbers up." The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was abou= t those wacky Australians and their affinity for the few things in their li= ves that aren't actively trying to kill them. 82% of quiztakers caught the = story about the city of Melbourne and its move to declare the smell of a Ve= gemite factory to be of "significant" heritage value to the city. I'm wonde= ring if Newark, NJ is taking an interest in this move regarding cultural sm= ells. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about = the new summer Frosty flavor at Wendy's. Only 47% of quiztakers caught the = story about the Strawberry Frosty that would be replacing the vanilla flavo= r for a limited time. The fact that 53% guessed "cool mint" means that I th= ink Wendy's missed something in their market research. Call me, Wendy! I've= got other ideas, like a back bacon cheeseburger! With pickled onions! The easiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about which car brand = was making a return with an all-electric model due in 2024. 92% of quiztake= rs recognized that it was DeLorean who went out of business after its owner= was arrested for a $24 million cocaine deal he was reportedly handling in = order to save his company. Ah, the '80s. If you missed out las= t week, now's a great time to catch up on the Fark Weird Ne= ws Quiz now that you know a few of the answers. Congratulations to the = winners, and we'll be doing it all again on Friday. --------------------------------------------------------------- ([Fark.com](3D"") sent this newsletter emai= l to: {EMAIL}) To stop these emails, go to the Notifications tab of your [MyFark profile](3D"https:=) to change your subscription preferences.
