String theory in all it's permutations is still fundamentally untestable and had been since it's inception. I can't speak for academia (though I did watch a YouTube video that claimed to, and it ended up with this same conclusion, fwtw) but in scientific media string theory is more or less absent now. Early 2000s it was everywhere but the standard model kept plugging along without string theory, and now I only see it if I look for it specifically. It's not the leading train of thought and I doubt it ever really was - it was just popular in media. The standard model for quantum stuff and special relativity/general relativity for macro stuff is still the generally accepted view

No we got that a few years back when the Mormon church officially said they don't care about caffeine

So easy that I didn't even know they purged anything.

Hell I remember when my favorite shady rom site stopped serving Nintendo roms because of legal threats, and I was sad for five minutes until I clicked on the web ring links to a different shady rom site.

What people always forget is that it's the dosage that makes the poison. Weed might very well be harmless for recreational use, but recreational use does not mean trying to out smoke Snoop Dog.

Crypto is and always has been a joke. It also doesn't work that much like the fediverse, which is basically a webring where the sites like to copy each other. TBH I'm looking forward to the ~~webring host~~ Lemmy instance drama and people being ~~kicked from the webring~~ defederated.

BotW is fun because of either physics abuse (same with TotK) or it being a large open world to explore with lots of side or mini quests. The combat is the same as the rest of the 3d Zeldas.
