A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

No, no! You see, the specific combination of sounds that we use to identify and address a given person shapes that persons body, especially their facial features!
How else would you explain how every person over 50 named Henry looks exactly the same‽ Or why people over 50 named Charles and Charlie look so similar?
I'm 44, and have a friend who is 43, and has the exact same name, and everyone we know always comments on how they're 100% certain we will look like twins in 7 years.
It's just science. Get your head out of the sand!
Hell, I wouldn't be the least amount surprised if everyone over 50 named Gretchen not only look identical, but are also the exact same height. I guess that's an idea for their next study. I can't wait to be proven right.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to read how my day tomorrow — and, incidentally, that of the other 1/12 (roughly) of the planet born with the same zodiac sign — is going to turn out.
