Congratulations science Forum on 1mil total posts. 

I know it doesent mean much for most but we should stop and appreciate for a moment what this forum brought to some of us.
It links and connects each other allowing us to discuss interesting topics, get a peer review for any idea we might have and care to share or be corrected on a flawed understanding.  
If you are not fortunate enough to work in the specific field that you are interested in, it's hard to find people who you could discuss specific topics with.

Thank you admins and members for this though-sharing platform that you shaped.

Now imagine facebook has 2bln users posting cats and nonsense every day.

I feel like we did this a few years ago and suspect some posts are no longer being counted as a result of software upgrades and changes

This is a science forum.

Please provide evidence we did this today and not a few weeks/months ago.

And Christmas is a pagan holiday endorsed by the big companies to promote consumerism and shallow values wrongly celebrated on 25'th of December as Jesus (if he existed) was probably born in autumn. This was probably done as to convince the pagans to convert as 25'th was an important celebration for them for astronomical reasons.

But I still sing carols

 I'm glad you didn't group cats in the nonsense category. I would have -1ed you haha.

There is such a tool: webarchive... You can try going "back in time" to older version of website (as long as it was backed up by them.. this requires that site must be publicly available, so web crawlers added URL to their databases).

e.g.

I'm not gonna count if that's what you're implying.

I had a cat for 17 years. She died. We buried her. I’m not getting another cat even if my son and wife will beg me.

I’m sticking to this so don’t try to convince me otherwise.

You'll convince yourself.

You'll realize you're blaming the cat for dying, but punishing your pleading wife and son for it. You'll remember you're a good guy, and you'll get another cat.

You'll name it after me, probably.

My wife doesn’t actually want a cat, our 2 year old is used to dogs at mother in law’s place. My cat died 20 years ago while I was still with my folks. If I get a dog (over my dead body) I might name him „Sigmund”

I've been meaning to ask about your quotation marks. If they're set up that way for your native language, when you do "air quotes" with your hands, do you hold the right hand upside down?

There is no come back for me from this, this is just too hilarious. I admit that the English quotations are just a button away for me on my iphone, I’m just too lazy to do it but,

So two upper case air quotes if you're speaking English, but what about when you're speaking the other language from your keyboard? If you invert the first quotation mark when you write it out in your language, it might make sense to invert the right hand when air quoting someone in that language.

And if that's not a thing in your language, it would be hilarious for you to be the first to use inverted air quotes. Like, oh, those English speakers think they're all such „grammar experts"!
