popularmechanics.comNEVER TAKING APS AGAIN
bro tell me why there was a guy at my testing center (Arlington TX) who finished ap precalc mcq in like 11 minutes and then just sat there smiling
every time someone clicked on their computer he would just slowly nod
everyone was kinda scared of him at the break time
then this dude pulls out a FULL ROTISSERIE CHICKEN from his backpack
like an actual whole chicken wrapped in foil
and starts eating it with his hands in complete silence
nobody said anything because honestly what are you even supposed to say at that point
the proctor walked over, looked at the chicken and looked at him then just walked away
meanwhile im like dying on frqs
like bro r we srs 😭
then during no calc frqs the rotisserie chicken guy suddenly puts the chicken down, wipes his hands on a napkin and locks tf in
then he puts his hand up and asks if he can go to the washroom with chicken still in his mouth
after the test everyone’s discussing answers outside and chicken guy walks out carrying the half-eaten rotisserie chicken in his pants and says
“I like pineapple"
Idk how the proctor let that slide cuz what is this
TIL a Russian mathematician solved a problem that stumped the world for over 100 years, refused both the Fields Medal and a $1 million prize, and ultimately quit math out of frustration with how credit and recognition are handed out in academia
yourstory.comKid explodes and humps the air during AP Calc BC exam
Man screw this guy. I studied my ass off for the AP Calc BC Exam, and this guy decides to start grunting and muttering complaints under his mouth. Keep in mind that I'm right next to him, and he's clearly cussing the exam out. I don't know if he had a mental breakdown, but he randomly gets up on top of his desk, and started screaming "OH YEAH" and humping the air. Bro thinks he's Vector. And to top it all off, his desk falls over and he comes tumbling down onto the floor. The proctors came all rushing over and frantically tried to escort him out. THIS GUY DOES THE GRIDDY WHILE HE IS GETTING ESCORTED OUT. Obviously, me and the rest of the test-takers couldn't focus on the FRQ portion of the calc exam. I'm cooked. I hope they allow us to retake.
TIL that the reason many highways in major U.S. cities cut directly through Black neighborhoods was often intentional urban planning decisions made in the mid-20th century.

npr.orgTIL John F. Kennedy dealt with severe chronic back pain for years. He had four surgeries—including a discectomy, spinal fusion with instrumentation, and two smaller procedures—but his pain persisted despite the operations.
thejns.orgThought about this given I saw him as part of the Olympics closing ceremony (was rewatching an old clip), it seems so weird to me that someone with such a shady past can just go about having a normal life like nothing happened. I get that he’ll continue getting jobs because he’s a big movie star that generates income but surely they must have some form of morals. Whenever he does interviews from what I’ve seen Scientology is never mentioned, none of the serious allegations against the church or him abandoning his family for the cult. His daughter even changed her last name to cut out any connection from the deadbeat dad. He responded by on the day of her high school graduation by going to a Taylor Swift concert in London where he knew he’d be spotted on camera. Who does something like that?
