I am trying to get my head around the concept of an "algorithm-free website" courtesy of politicians and non-technical journalists.
Consider: the database evaluates SQL and returns data without any indexes or sorting algorithms. The webserver encrypts traffic over TLS without any cryptographic algorithms. The content is compressed, but without the use of any of those pesky compression algorithms like gzip, brotli, zstd or xz. CSS rules evaluated without any algorithms.
Magic at work, truly.

So far: Lion's Mane doesn't work in humans, aflatoxin contamination is dangerous, and very many herbal products on sale are not what it says on the label.
The herbal and dietary supplement industries are largely fraudulent.
Not a real country - an cult-like exercise in soothing the ego of a racist malignant narcissist who knows he doesn't have long left.

6am, I had this incredibly vivid dream that I could see some kind of other dimensional majestic celestial entity, I guess a being that in other times would have been called an "angel". I felt immersed with hope and strangely protected.
I begged them to impart some esoteric knowledge of our age, they appeared to smile, leaned in, blinding me with their glow, and just as I woke uttered the words: "The Cranberries song Linger is about someone that farted on a first date.
Well fuck me gently!
WTF is this utter twaddle?
