According to the General Theory of Relativity, gravity isn't a force, it's an illusion.

Technically when you jump into the air, for a few seconds you are an inertial observer watching the Earth travel in spacetime.

The floor and every object around you is travelling upwards. Therefore if you trip over and faceplant, in truth a planet crashed into you.

If you jump off a building, you're technically weightless until the Earth crashes into you.

My mental health is inversely proportional to my present rate of beard growth. 🧔

I can usually tell I’m pulling myself out of it when I shave off said beard.

I have also noticed I listen to a lot more heavy metal when I have a beard. Coincidence? I think not! 🤘🎸

It’s fair to say I’m disgusted by what the UK government is doing to Manchester.

Walking away from negotiations about putting the city into a tier 3 lockdown and then giving the mayor £43m less than needed is a jaw-dropping display of pettiness & cruelty

The actual history is a surprisingly interesting subject.

The earliest known Apple pie recipe was written in the 14th century, long before the United States even existed as a country. There are also French, Dutch & Swede varieties.

The reason it became incorporated into US culture is because it's a popular dessert and was used as a symbol against soviet communism (odd, given apple pirogs are basically the same thing)

I'm as American as apple pie, because apple pie was actually invented in England. 😜

On a related note to that boost, you can stop yourself from accidentally pushing branches called "master" to your git repositories by creating a file called `.git/hooks/pre-push` and adding the following content:

if [[ `grep 'master'` ]]; then
echo "This branch name convention is deprecated and should be changed to 'main'. Aborting."
exit 1
fi

Also, to set the default branch to "main" in new repos you create locally:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main
