"You young pup!"

Now I'm sad. :(

He used to do a one man show of a Christmas Carol on stage. I never got to see it, but I always imagined it being amazing (based on the fact that it happened more than once... if it were ass, it would not have recurred). While the source material is relatively friendly to the idea, one man shows are hard to do well.

Put all bot/agent/AI traffic behind a digital black wall and start Internet 2.0?

If you ask Gemini why Google's search results have gotten so bad, it will give you an honest answer and suggest you use DuckDuckGo instead. Not exactly sure how you monetize "our service is telling our customers to go to our competitors instead" unless you're Macy's and you're in a Christmas movie.

Mass consumption of refined sugar is a 500 year long experiment, starting with the mass cultivation of sugar beats in the European low countries and sugar cane in the Caribbean.

Some people suck more than others.

You brought facts to a slashdot Anonymous Coward rant.

Eh, no, you really just failed at reading that and wrote a long screed about something I didn't say. The post I responded to claimed that "another rocket company" would develop a replacement for Falcon "in a few years" if SpaceX folded. Then claimed Starship, a program that began active development 8 years ago, was 20 years ahead of anything else.

I'm pointing out the logical gap in "Falcon can be replaced in a couple of years" but any competition is 20 years behind 8 years of development. It's a nonsensical claim.
