What is SoyFACE?SoyFACE (Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment) is an innovative facility for growing crops under production field conditions in an atmosphere that has higher levels of carbon dioxide and ozone, higher temperature and altered soil water availability. SoyFACE was designed to discover the effects of atmospheric change on the agronomy and productivity of Midwestern crops as well as to find solutions that will lead to crops better adapted to this future.

I've learned that "'Abba' signifies the close, intimate relationship of a father and his child, as well as the childlike trust that a young child puts in his 'daddy',” but this pamphlet struck me as funny when I first saw it (and didn't know).

Yeah, but the font references the band, right? So maybe there is some kind of "wink, wink" going on. It is apparently a Japanese-American Christian church.

I was waiting at a bus stop in the summer, opposite a shop called KATASTROPHIES. They sold what looked like shit trophies for Sunday league football teams. Admirable project, dreadful name.
― Shard-borne Beatles with their drowsy hums (Chinaski), Sunday, 5 February 2023 10:45 (one year ago) link
Yeah, they should have called it Cat Ass Trophies and had every trophy be in the shape of a cat's bumhole.

wait, kata is short for katarina and a fairly common name both in sweden and across the slavic countries. kata's trophies would be an excellently formed name!

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. Not horribly formed so much as weirdly formed. A) doesn't need an adjective ii) why THAT adjective?
