Always love a good sport about it!

Although this was around 100 years ago I thought those are two nice​ stories which fit this sub perfectly.

The first story happened when José Raúl Capablanca was still a child, a chess progidy who had just beaten the Cuban champion Juan Corzo and went on to​ become the third world chess champion.

Second story is self-explaining.

For those who don't know, the Devin Nunes' Cow account was originally made on Twitter and was sued by the Republican Congressman Devin Nunes. It became national news and the account ballooned to several hundred thousand followers as a result.​

I’m always disappointed when the posts don’t include the person remarking after the reveal. This is how you can tell if they’re genuinely a good person or not, and thankfully Nicky G here is more than willing to admit his mistake.

This was an a PSA about harm being done to youths in places that shoud be safe.

The posted artwork is willingly using a domesticated animal in a human made environment to parallel kids being usafe in schools and home due to poor regulations and laws.

A commenter said

"nobody woud shoot a pet rabbit in their backyard".

Metaphor missed.

Chaos happends.

P.s. sorry if i tagged it wrong it is my first post here.

EDIT: Please stop arguing over "author's death" and "symbolism dies the moment its explained" its not that deep.

Its a shallow puddle after the rain take post where someone didnt realize they where being dumb and entitled...

Please lets all just "haha" and move on.

Im happy evreyone is being civil but it is getting a bit out of hand.

I wish I had a screenshot of this, but it happened too long ago: a friend of mine is an academic. He got into an argument with someone on Twitter about one of his areas of expertise, and the other person told him to read [Lastname]'s article. My friend was ready to hit back with the "I am [Lastname]" retort, only to skim the article again and realise that he had misremembered his own research; the other guy was right.

Edit: I think the word "study" led some people to think I was talking about clinical trials or laboratory experiments or something, so I've changed it to avoid that connotation. This was still an academic publication, but the field is historical linguistics; it's not like he was flip-flopping about astrophysics or supporting a medical treatment he had found to be ineffective.
