She's always been so cringey. Like when she let people beat her up and called it art.

The world became a much more fun and interesting place for me when I stopped rejecting things on the basis of cringe.

Good for you. Have you seen her performance art?

I always think of obsidian when I see their name and that's reflective

pretty sure he means blackstone or blackrock

Yes. Like reflective obsidian

I'd have guessed Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain is publicly traded

My favorite is Bob's Java Jive

GE, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and so many others

Much of their work consists of poorly sourced articles, sensationalism, disinformation, and bias to sway the audience.

Then the correct stance is to not visit those sites.

Look at what's happening in Lebanon, Palestine, Iran. Everyone involved in helping with those mass murders is evil.

Edit: I see I'm being downvoted. What is your argument in favor of this? How big of a degenerate, amoral, psychopath do you have to be to justify this?

"Israel has carried out at least 37 attacks against healthcare workers and facilities in Lebanon, including against the state civil defence and Lebanese Red Cross, since the current hostilities began, Lebanese authorities said.

The war in Lebanon started on 2 March after Hezbollah launched a volley of rockets at Israel, triggering a swift Israeli bombing campaign across the country. Fighting has since escalated, with Hezbollah continuing its rocket fire and Israeli troops invading south Lebanon.

At least 826 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes, according to the ministry of health, and about 1 million have been displaced."

Future Ig Nobel candidate?

I signed up for the study. I like to participate in studies at the local college and I track my sleep and stuff daily on my watch. Kind of excited about this. I'll report back with my data if I get picked

Update: dang

Thank you for your interest in the Human Flatus Atlas and for your willingness to participate in our study.

Due to overwhelming demand, we are currently experiencing a temporary pause in onboarding new participants. At this time, we kindly ask that you save the personalized consent form link you received, as it will be required to continue your participation once we are ready to bring you on board.

We will send a notification once we have expanded capacity to accommodate all participants.

We are thrilled by the incredible response to this study and truly appreciate your patience and enthusiasm. We look forward to your participation.

Sincerely, The Human Flatus Atlas Research Team

Ig Nobel is doing more for science than Nobel:

- It's fun.

- The prizes are accessible to young scientists who actually need the career boost from the publicity (as opposed to established scientists who are mostly boosting the prestige of the prize)

- They promote awareness of how diverse and awesome science is.

Sincerely, TH FART

Small annoyance, the team name is missing an E.

Wish they had gone with The Human Enterologic Flatulence Atlas Research Team.
