XOXO, NotNewsletterMonkey ___________________= _____ A message from Drew Curtis: &n= bsp; ________________________ Hey everyone hope your week's been well. Mr. Fuzzypaws was kind enough to put together= a [Fark Party in Buffalo](3D") this we= ekend. Since it's summer and I've got a huge itch to travel, I'm hitt= ing the road Friday and making my way to upstate NY and the Canadian Inclus= ion Zone - otherwise known as the Greater Tim Hortons Buffalo area. I= t's very convenient timing given that I was cycling in Ohio two weeks ago a= nd left my credit card at a biker bar on the Little Miami trail, which is o= n the way. I'm looking forward to seeing those of you who make it out= . I'm hearing that the beer festival from 2-6pm is sold out but we'll= head over to the Pearl St Brewing company afterwards for foods, more beers= , and hanging out until I drop dead. This week 4pm Thursday it's the [Fark News Li= vestream](3D") with the whole gang. Possible topics include AI Jesus, = French Barbie, and probably something about the Titanic submarine depending= on how that turns out, assuming anything at all happens. If things g= o true to form, they'll have a huge announcement about five minutes after t= he stream ends. ________________________ End Drew transmission ________________________ = Top Interactions Som= e of the best interactions from the past week.

Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you by ox45tallbo= y) Another fun time on the Quiz last week, where we learned tha= t YouTube reaction videos are starting to look like Photoshop tennis. On th= e Quiz itself, mrs. badcrumble came out on top with a= ridiculous 1049, followed by DoctorPlatinum in secon= d with 1024 and cawingcrow in third with 1007.&n= bsp;dingorm01 made fourth with 966, and Worce= ster22 made it into the top five with 962. The hardest que= stion on last week's Hard Quiz was about the Revolutionary War-era Fort Mif= flin, which recently saw a functional replica cannon disappear from its bat= tlements. Only 41% of quiztakers knew the fort was on Mud Island just off t= he coast of Philadelphia. I'm guessing someone didn't quite understand= the meaning of the Gonzales Flag and kind of took it as a challenge. = The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about what many = people see as a misstep for Reddit, resulting in many Redditors moving away= from the platform. 88% of quiztakers knew that Reddit had begun charging f= or access to its APIs, or programming interfaces, that allow third-party ap= plications to easily interface with their platform. While it makes sense to= charge people training AIs that they'll then be making huge profits from, = this resulted in many useful applications for posters and moderators alike = to cease operations because they can't afford the fees. So yeah, AI is alre= ady ruining the fun of a lot of people. The hardest question on las= t week's Easy Quiz was about which restaurant now had its own line of Crocs= "Mellow Slides". Only 41% of quiztakers knew that Taco Bell was the one na= med for its founder, Glen Bell, who got tired of people driving by his hot = dog stand (Bell's Drive-In) to stand in line at the taco shack across the s= treet, so he learned how to make tacos. Jack in the Box was founded by Robe= rt Oscar Peterson, and the name came from the clown decor used for the rest= aurant and especially the clown face around the drive-thru microphone, whic= h they nicknamed "Jack" - who was in the "box" of the microphone and speake= r housing. The easiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was = about which science fiction grandmaster wrote the book series that Apple's = new hit show "Foundation" was based on. 92% of quiztakers recognized the ma= n of the mutton chops Isaac Asimov. Edgar Rice Burroughs is the man respons= ible for Tarzan and John Carter. If you missed out last week, it's = a great time to [= catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D"https:/=) now that you know a few of the ans= wers. Congratulations once again to the winners, and we'll do 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.
