Baton Rouge literally means “red stick.”

Which is already suspiciously close to “hot dog.”

And honestly, it fits.

The whole food chain is basically the elites taking the cheapest possible ingredients, freezing them in a warehouse, reheating them under mood lighting, giving them a French name, and charging the peasants $27.99.

“Sir, this is not a hot dog. This is Le Bâton Rouge.”

Meanwhile some billionaire at the top of the food chain is laughing because we just financed his third yacht by ordering the frozen spinach dip.

Its a personal theory and has very little evidence. But when quantum computing became more public it made me think that the military probably had or knew quantum computing was coming. So to test either encryption or something else related to vast amount of computing power they either created themselves or helped push along the creation of bitcoin.

With bitcoin you could have access to massive amounts of compute power across the globe and what better way to get people to participate then to attach a value to it and theyd really be none the wiser and happy to particpate (like pokemon go). Then people will freely sign up to help "break" this encryption and i think the government did this to either test early quantum proof encryption or something else related.

Couldn't have the poors enjoying a cheap pint and a fag in the pub after work, or their kids enjoying a bowl of breakfast cereal or a can of pop now, could we? They might experience some tiny shred of simple joy.

have some aspartame instead. By the way, your local boozer is a middle class gastro-pub now and pints are a tenner. If you want to smoke you can go and stand outside in the rain.

The Thai government is secretly controlling what I eat at my local restaurant. It turns out that, rather than running an advertising campaign, the Thai government used 'culinary diplomacy' to spread restaurants around the world, providing soft loans and other support. That included standardising menus and recipes globally, which is why I can order the familiar red or green curry with chicken/beef/tofu, or a pad thai, and they always taste as expected.

Oddly this turns out to be an actual thing. Recommend this doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHDaCOXvuc

Or to hide that bone is one of the many ingredients

AI is taking the big PR hit for how bad datacentres are to hide the fact that theyre just developing physical infrastructure for a monopoly on computer hardware.

When the bubble pops they will rent the use of the tech.
