They used the dorodango technique to create dung spheres in order to bust the myth that one "can't polish a turd". Using a glossmeter, they measured gloss levels substantially higher than the value of 70 gloss units, which is considered "high gloss". Savage's 106-gloss unit dorodango used an ostrich's feces, while Hyneman's 183-gloss unit specimen used a lion's feces. They therefore deemed the myth "busted".
Right?! I’m surprised that I haven’t just run out of internet yet, but here we are :D I’ll be sure to post about it when it happens ;p

Repost a hilarious meme that I whole heatedly agree with, but with the word “fuck” poorly crossed out? “Algo-speak promoting motherfuckers”, roll of the dice on my mood, probably blocked.
My Guild Wars 2 ignore list is full of people labeled “says boiz too much”, “annoying fashion”, “made bad joke about bees”.
There are so many people on the Internet, it’s fine. I’ve taken this approach since MUDs were in fashion and I am pretty confident that it’s only served to improve my online experiences.

Check out the fzf shell bindings. Reverse history search with fuzzy matching is one of the features.
Then for the casual reader: don’t pick this habit up. There’s no reason to fork/exec a shell, invoke cat for the purpose of printing to stdout, then move the data into your buffer. You can just do :r somefile.txt.
What is the benefit of involving cat?
Did you know that grep can take the name of the file(s) you want it to search as the final arguments?
For example:
grep -Ein "$@" ~/.bash_history
