inRant: people keep saying the Wayback Machine has everything, but it misses tons of old fan pages
just what a few crawlers happened to grab" is close but not the whole story, lots of pages were excluded on purpose if the robots.txt blocked it or the site owner asked to be left out. Your bowling page might have just never gotten crawled at all.

inWhy does nobody talk about how a 2 star review can beat a 5 star one for getting calls
We do this with everything without even noticing. Restaurant with 4.1 stars and a review saying "the owner comped our meal after we waited 45 minutes" beats a spot with 5.0 and nothing but "great food, great service" every time. People scan for the one review that shows how a place acts when things go wrong, because that is what they are really scared of. Perfect ratings read like ads, and our brains just skip right over them. The messy review with a real story proves someone actually picked up the phone at 11pm, and that is what a person with a burst pipe needs to know.

inHot take: I wrote my own butter bot quote on a sticky note and stuck it on my monitor, and it hit harder than any meme I've saved
Did writing the sad little lines yourself actually change how you think about your own day, or did it just make better memes? Like do you catch yourself noticing the "waiting for instructions" thing more now that you put it on paper?
