https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/NKrzm1k1dz I saw that he was getting unbanned of X/Twitter but I don't know why he was banned and why everyone hate him.
What are they blowing the whistle on? Why’s Boeing killing them?? 💀 https://nypost.com/2024/05/04/us-news/boeing-faces-10-more-whistleblowers-after-two-die/amp/
Title says most of it. Used to visit the sub every once in a while after the original sub was shut down, but now the new one is private too. (link to sub)
I am originally from Canada and live in the US currently. Have been seeing lots of stories about Loblaws in Canada, with even a boycott going on, people seem super pissed at them in particular.
I’m just confused - because it seems like things are getting more expensive everywhere. I agree the cause is mostly corporate greed. And it’s clear that corporate greed is at play at Loblaws too. But, are they doing something especially bad that other grocery stores aren’t doing?
Reference here: https://globalnews.ca/news/10459526/loblaw-boycott-brands-subsidiaries/
The article just mentions Canadians are protesting “high food prices”, so that doesn’t really narrow it down. Food prices have been going up everywhere. Why protest Loblaws specifically?

Why are people on Twitter saying that white people are "culture vultures" for talking about the Kendrick x Drake situation?
On twitter I'm seeing a lot of black people saying that white people's opinion doesn't matter about hip hop and you're a "culture vulture" for trying to talk about it. Why is this a sentiment now that white people can't discuss hip hop?
I asked a friend and she said “you’ll never know”
What is the context of Drake's black face photos? I am not OOTL for the Kendrick/Drake beef but I just would like to know the context of Drake's black face photo that I see everywhere

A few years ago I remember UK plug sockets being regarded as the best on this planet, but recently it seems people no longer feel that way.
What has happened these last few years? Has a new standard made the UK ones outdated?
I constantly get these posts about how coal miners in Australia make shit loads of cash
Now I know that there must be a con regarding mining coal in the middle of nowhere but where exactly is the scam here? Bad contracts? Enslavement? Enlighten me please
I just saw a clip posted 2 weeks ago making a joke about the buzzfeed unsolved team but can't figure out what it's talking about. I see a lot of people in the comments talking about it but no one seerms to offer an explanation.
Could someone walk me through this whole saga? There seems to be a lot going on and it’s hard to see the whole story.

I saw that in the arsenal game they paid tribute to a kid, Daniel Anjorin, who was stabbed by a sword. And subsequently I noticed that another victim was stabbed and is from the same school. I tried to see for articles that explained what actually happened, like what was going on, why this happened. I couldn’t find any proper explanation. I have my younger brother living in the same area in with my parents and in a relative’s house right now for a few days, and as a result I am a little extra worried. Can someone please explain what happened and why? Is it some specific issue I need to know about?
I'm seeing tons of memes about Kendrick Lamar, but mostly it seems to be corelated to Drake. I'm not too versed into the music industry so I'm unfamiliar with the either one's history, but there seems to be something about Drake having illegitimate children (there was one tweet about it that I don't have the link to rn)? I'm not sure how Kendrick fits into this these memes but they give the impression that he roasted him in some big manner.

I keep seeing people mention something to do with a "bear debate" with no further context beyond some controversy. I've also seen people bring up something to do with autistic men in relation to the debate? What is going on? Wtf is a "bear debate"? Why is autism involved in anyway.

I remember when it first came out last year and people went nuts about it. I never watched it because it didn’t look up my alley, but it garnered a huge fanbase and the original video has over 300M views, wow. How are there so many fans of this thing that only just had its second episode released too? Is it really that good? I’m not hating, just very out of the loop
I keep seeing the same jokes over and over about Taylor Swift taking a plane to get a sandwich etc and then comments about "paper straws". I get it's poking fun at the excess of billionairs, but why Taylor Swift specifically? Haven't all the ultra wealthy been doing this?

I work for a company and a bunch of the guys who are flat earthers/trumpers all where khaki shorts with black socks and keep to themselves with hushed conversations. Is there some kinda movement thing I'm missing here?
https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/b5eiEqZJ2H like the guy in the center
People are saying this woman Hope Hicks spilled some info in court that might get Trump in trouble and cried about it on the stand. What's the situation here?
The 4 Non Blondes Youtube channel has re-uploaded "What's Up" twice in the past two weeks with the latest upload featuring 30 seconds of Indian music with an AI-generated cover art saying "ENGLILISSH AI." at the very end of the video. Does anyone know what's going on?
Was scrolling through comments for “if we being real” and they’re all like King Baldwin vibes ✋😞??? And there’s all these crossovers with this song and the king baldwin movie?? And there’s a dark synth spotify playlistnamed after him??? Was he just a cool guy or something?

I know these have been around forever but I’m finally curious and bored enough to ask!
I've heard search engine optimization mentioned with things like how it's very frustrating to search for things online, and have experienced frustration myself.
Whenever I try to search up SEO, it's all stuff about "how to make money using SEO" but nothing explains what exactly it is and why/how it makes it more frustrating as a user to actually search for things.
I know that generative AI also has had a hand in making searching for anything much more frustrating these days, so I know those two issues are linked somehow. Thank you in advance!
Here's some context but I feel like I'm not smart enough to understand the details: https://www.theverge.com/features/23931789/seo-search-engine-optimization-experts-google-results
It seems like this came out of nowhere, and it strikes me as odd because I've never seen a videogame show up so much on the popular reddit page. Why is this game so suddenly popular? Worth noting is that I haven't heard it come up in IRL conversations, only on reddit. Idk if that has to do with my personal circle of friends or if it is being pushed and promoted on reddit.

I've been seeing so many and they're always accompanied by sucking jokes.

Someone was about to be the first to Level 300 but decided instead of protest something in the game? Why are they sticking it to the devs? What's going on with Maple Story?
I saw he was trending on on Twitter and something about Talbert Files getting leaked and Cawthorn doesn't know anything about them. What's going on?
