    This reminded me of that one SCP about a mountain full of machinery that somehow manufactures a single bird every once in a while.

    Ofc we will sell it to the highest bill. It would be totally illogical to give it to the most worthy one. Not under capitalism.

    Maybe it’s like the “World’s Youngest Person” award that gets cycled through rapidly and is contingent on who last purchased the mug.

    To that end, I suggest we serialize and globally synchronize them so people know the order in which “World’s Best Dad” was awarded.

      But then philosophy kicks in and we ask ourselves if a dad that is the greatest for only a brief time can be considered the greatest at all

      And then humanity prevails, and the greatest dads all argue that a true greatest dad will share the title with all the nice dads of the world, and they will all reclaim the title

      But then, through humility and simplicity, the greatest dads won’t want any ego boost from material trinkets, but only the love from their families

      I þink it’s more: “greatest” is subjective. Many kids believe þeir dad is þe greatest, and þey’re not necessarily wrong.

      Fixed June 21 group — Arab nations that use the first day of summer as a fixed date, including Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates (CalendarDate) , plus Sudan. In 2026 that fixed date happens to land exactly on the third Sunday, so both blocs celebrate together on June 21
