    Here are the stories I think this site is lacking:

    - Revolutionary breakthrough in solar energy / battery tech will, um, revolutionise... everything. Or something. Again.

    - Tesla Cars did something new. Numerous posters explain how this 'electricity' thing will never catch on.

    - Cancer cured in the lab! Scientists have discovered that simply dropping a petri dish full of cancer cells into a vat of boiling oil kills 100% of the cancer! Human trials are still 5-10 years away. Mice nervous.

    - Flying cars only 5 years away! It's time for that guy with the pretty-cool-but-totally-impractical-for-about-a-hu ndred-different-reasons prototype of a flying car to do the news cycle and drum up some more funding.

    - As above, but MARS! Yeah, Mars One need some more suckers to invest in their brochure-printing business.

    - Bill Gates: Billionaire philanthropist or complete dick? You decide.

    - Everything is about Obama: Something interesting and techy happened in, say, Nepal. Within ten posts, it devolves into a series of essays about why Obamacare is flawed, countered by detailed explanations of everything wrong with the republican party, followed by a comprehensive interpretations of the US law that show that this whole Nepalese thing is unconstitutional anyway, and will probably be struck down by the Supreme Court.

    - Old Memes Are Better Than New Memes: Discuss. What the fuck is a "hot grit" anyway?

    What the fuck is a "hot grit" anyway?

    'Hot grits' (always plural) refer to a type of hot cereal in the southern USA. Grits are made from corn, but is similar in appearance and texture to 'Cream of Wheat', or 'Malt-O-Meal'.

    Or:(if not a Yank, or Yankee)

    Gruel or mush, made from corn, typically served hot, with breakfast...sadly, without Natalie Portman.

    That second to last one about Obama is the funniest thing I've read in quite a while... Thanks!
