In Denmark, there are libraries where you can borrow a person instead of a book to listen to their life story for 30 minutes. The aim is to fight against prejudices.

Every time this gets posted, people upvote it solely because of that monk. Because otherwise, it would just look like pairs of people talking at tables, which isn't very interesting at all.
The caption is wrong. Denmark doesn't have "libraries" where this happens. There is an organization called The Human Library, and they host events rather than permanent establishments, since this isn't exactly a sustainable business. The first event was in Copenhagen, but others have happened in 80 other countries, including the US. One of the rare places where it's a permanent installation is Lismore, Australia. There, it's a two-hour event held every week, at a library (a regular library, one with books) - /u/WrongSubFools

This here is the website that hosts Texas's abortion snitching hotline. Spam it until it stops twitching. Then, spam it some more.
Texas is offering $10,000 bounties if you snitch on someone who gets an abortion. Let's spam their website until it breaks:

Be careful with what you put in the fields - they might be smart enough to filter out obviously-made-up answers, although, given that, when asked whether you hold public office, you can select both "yes" and "no", I'm not 100% sure that they're that competent.
If you don't have the time, just type in a few characters. Even if you can't write up something convincing, we can break their spam filters.
Whatever you do, do NOT install the Selenium IDE test automation plug in, and create a script to automatically submit information to the site over and over and over...

First Study of Its Kind Finally Reveals How Dying Trees Affect Earth's Carbon Cycle
As a tree grows and branches, we know it consumes and stores carbon from the atmosphere in its wood. But what happens when a tree dies?
