Fahrenheit is the nicest temperature scale because its the only one where 69 degrees is survivable.

Anyway this leads me to the second point:

If my math is correct then about 15 million years after the big bang (z=106.7 (15.072 Myr)), the universe was nice.

That’s just facts tho:
69°F -> Not too hot, not to cold all you need is a light jacket. Perfectly survivable with no gear
69°C -> 12 degrees above the hottest recorded temperature on earth (56.7°C)
69K -> >200 degrees BELOW the freezing point of water (ALSO below the coldest recorded temperature on earth (183.95K))

Thus the other two aren’t nice.

Oops it turns out Disney’s lawsuit against the Florida governor is based on a constitutional clause which says that states can’t pass laws to interfere with private contracts. Historically this is something courts have used to strike down basic labour protections like minimum wages. So if the Supreme Court decides to give Disney a win here by saying “um actually any contact betwen private individuals is completely fine and beyond any kind of state regulation” (which would be wildly broad but also that’s how this Supreme Court sometimes behaves) then stay tuned for a lot of terrible lawsuits eroding a lot of basic protections for workers and renters and anyone else who’s signed a contract with a vastly more powerful entity.

[[sadly puts away my “let them fight” jpeg and pulls out my “no matter who wins, we lose” jpeg]]

This is such a bad take, that clause is specifically about contracts that the government is a party in. ie the government can’t just say “just kidding” after they got the benefits of a contract.

it’s a boomer meme, but it checks out

This is more of a “Greatest Generation” meme technically

why are these are still relevant

Capitalism still exists

That meme is half a century old, and yet still as relevant as if done yesterday.
