LinkedIn is my favorite gay dating app

I was attempting to google "Hume's Guillotine" -- but I accidentally spelt "Home Guillotine"

By surprise, I discovered that I can buy real, working guillotines -- for my home!

mushroom people, a short sci-fi

In the distant future, long after humans have gone extinct, mushrooms evolve sentience and become the dominant species on Earth. They build advanced cities with tall mushroom skyscrapers, and live in harmony with the rest of nature. One day their scientists discover an underground vault containing the preserved genome of ancient humans, and they use their technology to recreate the first living human in millions of years. The human befriends the mushroom people, and becomes a skilled plumber.
