This Is Important, You Should Watch It of the Day: Salman Khan offers the most succinct and straightforward rundown of how the language in SOPA’s current iteration leaves wide open the possibility that, despite its ostensible intention to block foreign sites trafficking in pirated content, completely legal websites operating inside the United States could easily be labeled “enablers” of “U.S. property theft” and subjected to crippling sanctions that would effectively shut them down.
(Worried? Do something.)

With SOPA, Garfield minus Garfield would probably have never happened. Protest SOPA.

Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:
Five ways to survive the Wikipedia Blackout.

How to access Wikipedia during the blackout.

Test Of Time of the Day: Three years ago, Redditor atopiary got bored and decided to put the old “McDonald’s fries don’t mold” maxim to the test. Two jars were placed side by side — one containing fries from McDonald’s, the other from KFC — and left unopeded to this day.
As was pointed out, this experiment is by no means scientific, as it doesn’t account for culinary and environmental factors which may have contributed to the preservation of Mickey D’s chips (for instance, higher cooking temps may have killed off most bacteria).
“Agreed,” says atopiary. “It was fun though. Plus it creeps out anyone who looks in the window sill.”

Sorry, I do not have a picture…as much as I make it. This recipe is incredibly delicious and incredible simple. As such, it as a small amount of ingredients. Word of advice: whenever making a recipe that does not have a whole lot of ingredients, buy the highest quality ingredients you can…
This exasperated German is asking the really important questions about the origins of the Daddy Long Legs:
Who was building the Daddy Long Legs? Where was Mother Nature? Maybe sleeping or with a coffee break?
The nature carpenters are building an insect and they’re like, “Here, look Nature, we have it! It is called Daddy Long Legs!”
“Oh, really? Does it have a head?”
“No.”
“Does it have a thorax or maybe an abdomen?”
“No.”
“What is it?”
“Well, it is like maybe a Q-tip head with some frozen spider web leggies.”
“Great!”
Seriously? What are you doing?
Also, please note the timestamp on his video. 3:32 AM is when all the good thinking happens.
He’s my favorite internet person of the year so far.
Hilarious.
