Not an actual thread here, but in the same spirit… I’ve apparently been living under a rock and had never heard of the Honey browser extension before, so when the LegalEagle video titled “I’m Suing Honey” showed up in my YouTube recommendations, I thought he was suing the sweet sticky stuff bees make. Or more realistically, a company that sells the stuff. ---

If you’re actually interested in the Honey browser extension story we have two threads on it. One from last month & one going right now: > [@Honey browser extension is a scam?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/honey-browser-extension-is-a-scam/1012015): > > [This YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk&ab_channel=MegaLag) says so, and brings the receipts. The video claims that Honey: claims to find consumers the best available discounts, but definitely doesn’t steals commissions from affiliate links allows advertisers to block consumers from finding & using discounts they may have found And this is only the “Part 1” video. > [@Do you use the Honey browser extension?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-use-the-honey-browser-extension/1012506): > > I don’t know all of the technical details, but apparently they’ve been stealing from content creators for years. Honey was recently bought by Paypal, and now they’re being sued. [LegalEagle explains it all here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H4sScCB1cY) ---

[Photographers: Tips on shooting the Northern Lights?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/photographers-tips-on-shooting-the-northern-lights/1013383) _Even with_ the very first word being “Photographers”, I _still_ keep misreading this as shooting the northern lights with a gun. Which would not work as well as be pointless, but it takes all kinds I guess. ---

[Instead of the New Yorker?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/instead-of-the-new-yorker/1013922/3) I keep thinking “person from New York” rather than the magazine. Like the poster wants to get rid of someone from New York and replace them with someone else. ---

[Do you think we could train or tame dinosaurs?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-think-we-could-train-or-tame-dinosaurs/1014140) I am quite certain a T-Rex could be trained and tamed to become a productive member of society. True, it might face discrimination and ridicule at first (because of its short arms and tail), but I think after the initial offenders were munched, that wouldn’t be so much of a problem. ---

> [@Karen\_Lingel](#): > > They’re so cute They are not. They are the stinky, viscious chickens of the sea. But with bad attitude. We have a smalll population of these evil fuckers in Cape Town. On certain beaches, you start to get that uncanny feeling of being watched… and a look in the bushes will reveal a murderous penguin. They look OK in photos, but in real life, if they could, they would swallow you in one gulp. They are a protected species, otherwise I’d murder them and feast on their fishy meat. Well, maybe not “feast”, just “eat”. ---

What to do?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/only-2-dates-but-valentines-day-is-friday-what-to-do/1014185/2) I initially took this as meaning the OP has dates with two different women on Valentines day, and was planning some sitcom style hijinks to juggle both of them.
