The logo of the Amazon team that works at this warehouse, called VGT3, is a dinosaur, brandishing its teeth and with a book in its hands.

I mean ... it did win the 2007 Hugo award.

If French adults are prepared to protest the Olympics, I bet taking away social media from French kids is bound to meet some comparably creative outrage.

I mean, that much coffee and they're probably pooping waaaay more often, and not many people are able to keep eating in the process of that. So maybe they'll lose weight and improve their heart health correspondingly?
