the last one references the Thing I think. What about the 2 former ones?

Also this meme made me notice the reference to Lovecraft’s at the Mountains of Madness. There is a McMurdo Sound, which I now cannot think about without hearing Wayne June’s beautiful voice in my head. RIP.

Thanks to you I learned something:

Payed is a rare word that’s only used in nautical/maritime contexts. It can be used to refer to the act of coating parts of a boat with waterproof material or to the act of letting out a rope or chain by slackening it.

It’s copy pasted from google 🤮, but I verified it.

Ive heard about qwant and ecosia too

to play the devil’s advocate: this can be done to exemplify what you complain about as opposed to complaining about an abstract concept
