Correct, the source of the fever was never specified, all we know is that the only prescription was more cowbell. This was a real concern for the CDC and the WHO at the time, but the fever appeared to subside on May 21, 1976, when the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was released by the Blue Oyster Cult, potentially saving millions of lives.

What do they do, make you take a urine test to see if you’re topped up? That’s lunacy.
There’s this thing in Canada that most grocers belong to called the Retail Council of Canada’s Scanner Price Accuracy Code where basically if the price that shows up on the scanner when you’re paying for your stuff is inaccurate and it’s higher than the stated price on the shelf or in the flyers that you get the item for free or up to $10 off if the price is greater than $10. This would presumably not fly here if they tried upping the price on you at the cashier or the self-serve scanners.
So, pro tip to Canadians: watch what you’re paying at the scanner, ‘cause you can get a pile of stuff for free if you’re paying attention.
This one’s even faster, in fact.
But forget that, let’s talk about these Nano Cats.
They could just play music to fill the time.
My favourite is when you’re reading documentation for an API or an SDK or whatever and the examples show things like “2024-05-05” as the date where they’re both the same number and you can’t discern it at all. Like, use Halloween or Christmas or something as the date so it’s always obvious, eh?
He may have lived a sheltered life. There was a story about him at his desk one time and he had dropped a piece of paper on the floor, and he called one of his servants in. When they arrived, they asked what the matter was and he motioned to the paper on the floor. The servant immediately said, “of course Your Majesty” and picked it up off the floor and deposited it in the garbage can (Or bin, if you prefer) and went on his way.
I’d say he’s not exactly in touch with the commoners.
You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.
Imagine getting drunk the night before and not having heard about the calendar change and then making up the next day and it was ten days later. You’d think you were Lord of the All-Time Benders.
Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.
He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
The Pilgrim, Chapter 33
It truly is the forgotten pandemic.
