Thank you to everyone who signed up recently! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the platform and how we can improve it.

The best way to get familiar with the platform's unique features is simply to use them. To get the ball rolling, I'm going to post a deliberately questionable hot take below. Click "Request Duolog" and give it a try. Challenge me, defend me, or take the discussion in a completely unexpected direction.

(Since the server will be wiped at the end of this testing phase, I'm saving my actual controversial opinions for later.)

🔥 Hot Take:

A tomato may be botanically a fruit, but in ordinary life it behaves like a vegetable. You put it in salads and sandwiches, not fruit salad or dessert. Therefore, functionally speaking, a tomato is not a fruit.

I want to have another gander at the citations system, so I'm starting a duolog with myself.

I broke the last one, so here we go again.

I am posting this so that I can start a duolog with myself.

You know it. I know it. Everybody says it's true. Believe me. We all know a hotdog is a sandwich. Everyone except the lying fake news media.

The underhand toilet paper orientation is the only arrangement consistent with reason, restraint, and a minimally civilized society. The overhand faction, predictably, mistakes exposure for progress. They celebrate the vulgar spectacle of freely cascading paper, as though hygiene were improved by theatrical display. Underhand, by contrast, imposes a modest discipline—a small, civilizing friction between impulse and action. It frustrates the anarchic ambitions of cats, children, and other agents of entropy. Moreover, it rejects the gaudy curl of overhand excess in favor of quiet, wall-bound discretion. In short, underhand is not merely preferable; it is the last fragile defense against domestic barbarism masquerading as convenience.

Let's try posting something.
