Very interesting!

My resultsThe ball was about the size of a baseball, and the table was square, but I couldn't answer any of the other questions without just making something up when they were asked.

My first thought as well. "We don't need to make it easier to vote on election day, because not many people vote on election day" - let's stop and think really hard about that for a minute.

I've noticed the site loading slowly for the past few days. Wondering if there's something going on with the instance.

Edit: also getting a 504 Gateway Timeout error sometimes.

Unfeaturing a post is not federating correctly (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm a mod of [email protected], although my user is on discuss.tchncs.de. I mainly asked to be made a mod to remove an old sticky post, but I've seen it come back after unfeaturing it a couple of times. Today I tried to unfeature it again, about an hour ago. Currently it does not show up as featured on my instance, but it still does on lemmy.world. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is the post in question on each instance:

TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth (discuss.tchncs.de)

Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth.

From the Wikipedia article:

In Haydn's old age, his biographer Georg August Griesinger asked him whether he wrote this "surprise" to awaken the audience. Haydn replied:

No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new...

Why do all the cool stories from history end up being made up?
