Will there be infinite expansion or will the big bang eventually get reversed in to a big crunch? This question might not even be relevant if this bubble phenomenon rips the entire universe apart. What if such a bubble already exists beyond the horizon and will devour our galaxy in a billion years.

It’s rated 4/4 in everything but flammability.
“Very toxic, very corrosive, powerful oxidizer, violent hydrolysis”
Pretty spicy, but we can do better than that.
Marketing is all about trying to stand out. Lots of companies just slap a default QR on their product and call it a day. Other companies invest a little bit more time and effort to make their products slightly prettier than the competition. Maybe that will increase sales by 0.1%. At least they hope so.
Microbiology can be so much fun!
Streptococcus pyogenes causes a flesh-eating disease (necrotizing fasciitis). This species of bacteria releases toxins that kill living tissue, so you better make sure that paper cut doesn’t get infected.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is famous for a bunch of different pandemics over the centuries. If you thought covid was fun, imagine coughing up blood.
Clostridium botulinum is special, because it produces a very spicy toxin, so you don’t even have to ingest any living cells or spores of C. botulinum to get killed by it. If you do, you can even have your very own toxin factory inside you.
Vibrio cholerae is another classic responsible for numerous pandemics. This one is a bit different, because it involves lethal amounts of diarrhea.
Oh, and the scary bit? There are people who don’t believe bacteria or viruses exist. They actively oppose taking measures against these things. Humans can be truly horrifying at times.
Let’s see the first vote. Nah, it’s for the other guy. Otherwise we would have called it a day. Keep on counting until I’m just over 50%.

That’s it. I won! Stop counting the votes. You see, 8 out of 14 people say I should be the president. No need to check the remaining 40 million votes. We’re all good here.
Wow, that is pretty dark. If you take that to its logical conclusion, you could even turn parking fines into a slave sentence.
Exactly. Now that easily exploitable people aren’t easily available, the underlying problem becomes more apparent.
At the moment, they have trouble filling positions in restaurants and hospitals, because locals aren’t interested in working very hard for hardly any money. Also, all the Polish lorry drivers would need to be replaced by local UK residents, which appears to be harder than expected. (insert pikachu meme here)
They did that in UK. Brexit worked out perfectly, and everyone lived happily ever after. Oh wait… Wrong story. It was a total dumpster fire and now labor shortage is crippling various industries.
Are you seriously suggesting that Trump might not always speak the truth?
And in very small quantities. Many rocket scientists have learned it the hard way. See the book Ignition by John D. Clark for more information.
