Earth Is Spinning Weirdly Faster, Making Tuesday One of the Shortest Days Ever

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also haven't gone unnoticed by science. Tuesday, Aug. 5 is the next date when Earth's rotation is expected to speed up, shortening the day by between 1.25 and 1.51 milliseconds. According to Time and Date, the current prediction is set by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and

Donkey Kong Country 2 and Open Bus

Donkey Kong Country 2 has a pretty well-known bug in the old SNES emulator ZSNES where some stages have spinning barrels that don’t work properly.

In ZSNES, this is horribly bugged. Tapping left or right makes the ba
