DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!! 😸

TIL In Troy (2004), Brad Pitt and Eric Bana did not use stunt doubles for their epic duel. They made a gentleman's agreement to pay for every accidental hit. $50 for each light hit, $100 for each hard blow. By the end of the scene, Bana didn't owe Pitt anything. Pitt ended up paying Bana $750. [source, comments]

TIL during ancient Rome, common citizens would partake in a form of rebellion known as "Secessions of the Plebeians." This involved the evacuation of entire cities, leaving the privileged nobility to fend for themselves. [source, comments]
