The earliest drawing we have of it is from the 1700s and the twig and berries were there. Some of the mid 1800’s drawings omitted it though.

Superheroes can’t permanently solve stuff because then they’d have nothing left to fight and the comic would end.
In the real world the Joker would have ‘accidentally’ died in custody a long time ago, Mr. Fantastic would have us all driving cheap electric cars powered by arc reactors made by Tony Stark, and we’d be livimg a life of gay space communism.
All of his friends are fairly normal and not prone to hijinks.

The agency warned consumers not to buy the product in October, noting it contained “the active ingredient in Cialis.”
On one hand, I get it, on the other, we know it 100% works at least, unlike when they put oyster or horny goat weed or whatever in that stuff.

15·6 days agoChanging your business model costs money and carries some inherent risk, and businesses hate risk. Its why theres so many sequels, spinoffs, and adaptions in theaters. Sure they could fund more Sinners’… but Fast and the Furious 35: Wheelchair Wheelies has a guaranteed audience.

Games@lemmy.world•Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go aheadEnglish
4·8 days agoIIRC Gog takes 30% but not sure we can count them owing to what they distribute.
The only actual competitor store (i.e. not reselling steam keys) at present is Epic with its 88/12 split after a million in sales, and as far as I know it hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018, despite straight up giving away product and buying exclusives to try and build a base, so not really the best argument.
Obligatory LOL if we’re going to seriously note either the EA or Ubisoft stores in this discussion. MS probably falls into that pile too but tbh haven’t looked into them much.






















I always figured that some folks are writing, reading, arting, or farming, and then theres dudes using the replicator to make dank space weed or the holodeck to get blowie joeys from helen of troy.
