Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.

This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

The EU is doing a big survey for LGBTQ people who live in the EU about how it is for them right now. That's the kind of survey that's used for official reports and for laws so it's super important that it has as many people taking it as possible. You can take it in every EU language. (You can change the language in the top right corner) Share it with your friends!

I'm sorry but I just have to appreciate the wordplay on that last sign. It's brilliant.

the only super long Tumblr post I love

An ice cream parlor has created a variety named "Ähm" (German for "Ummm"), which he serves all clients that start their order with "ähm..." ("ummm..."). It is a blend of white chocolate and pistacio ice cream.

Alessandro Cimino, had the idea when one of his clients couldn't decide and kept just saying "ähm" while the queue behind him grew longer and longer. Now, whenever a client says "ähm", he gets one ball of Ähm in his cone. Ähm is now the second most sold variety, coming just short after Vanilla.

The parlor is known for its witty inventions. During the coronavirus pandemic, they had an Antivirus ice cream with an intense taste of ginger and a hint of orange. And in the times when strict social distancing rules were in place, they sold a garlic ice cream, which served the purpose of increasing the social distance between prople from 1.5 meters to 3 meters.

noo don’t cry about july ending and the time passing, just remember the july poem :)

this is a really lovely poem and it makes me sad that only part of it gets shared around, because the whole thing really just hits. it's part of her published collection How Far You Have Come which is really worth checking out

Let July be July by Morgan Harper Nichols

Even here, you are growing. When August is approaching and you feel a little restless thinking about how this month might end and how this year might end and how you are supposed to start again, you are growing, you are growing, in grace courage strength.

And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings.

So much is changing around you  but you are changing, too.

You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you.

It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned.  And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a little stronger, holding on a little longer, and you still found room for hope. 

So take heart breathe deep you are still becoming who you were meant to be.

Let July be July. Let August be August. And let yourself

just be even in the uncertainty. You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have solve everything. And you can still find peace and grow in the wild of changing things.

So take heart breathe deep

you are still becoming who

you were meant to be.
