I know it was a common symptom of the Delta variant in late 21/22. That's what I caught and it felt like I was gargling broken glass

Sounds an awful lot like the Delta variant I caught in 2022. I described it to people as every swallow feeling like I was gargling broken glass.

I wish their TV app had a better user experience, but the content is great. I'll put Um Actually or Very Important People on while I'm cooking and it beats the hell out of trying to find a Youtube video every few minutes or listening to ads half the time.

The official write up goes into a lot more detail than this article. A lot of the stuff mentioned by Polygon has been in the game in some form or another for a while

If we're following the spirit of the original subreddit, YSK was intended for useful, static information. Like, "YSK sucking snake venom out of a wound isn't effective" etc. It's not meant for topical content like this, especially news articles with editorial post titles.

'Wayne, I think we've established that "Ca-Caw Ca-Caw" and "Tookie Tookie" don't work.'

Ah, I'm glad I was reminded that this movie exists.

Judging by a poster I saw, it's We Can Be Heroes, a kid-friendly superhero movie

That's heavily dependent on context. Oftentimes each person commenting in these threads has a different situation in their mind.

If they're on your ass on a multi-lane highway and there's plenty of space for them to pass you AND you're in the designated lane for slow traffic (eg, right-most lane in the US) then it's not rude at all. Encourage them to get off your ass and in the meantime, you're giving both of you more time to react in an emergency.

If you're on a two-lane road (ie, one lane per direction) I get wanting to slow down below the speed limit, but really, you don't know whether that person has a friend bleeding out next to them while trying to get to a hospital, or maybe they are at the boiling point for a road-rage incident with a gun in the glovebox. I maintain a safe speed and if I get to a passing zone, I make a point to slow down for them to make an easier pass.

Not really, no. Assuming those two people were opposite gender and able to procreate, they'd still only manage a few generations max before inbreeding made the species nonviable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_population
