What do you guys think of Elon buying Twitter. I personally think it's an improvement to an already deteriorating site

I'm genuinely curious about what he might do with the place.

Does NS have less new players in the summer?

Traditionally, yes. In NationStates, this is known by many as "The Summer Lull."

Did you know McDonald's once created bubblegum-flavored broccoli

Did you know McDonald's Japan once had Nintendo make employee training software using a Nintendo DS game? They were carefully distributed to store owners all across Japan. The games all required passwords which were determined by each individual store owner. They even came with a unique McDonald's DS design. They became the rarest Nintendo DS' and DS games in the world, leaking out in small numbers to very dedicated collectors. Most of which did not have the password needed to get past the title screen. The few who did kept the contents of the game to themselves so as to maintain the game's value. The game usually sold at auction for upwards of $3000 (US.) I know what you're thinking, "Three grand for McDonald's employee training software? That's absurd!" And you are right, but it's also a piece of gaming history. I mean, McDonald's Japan trained employees with a freakin' Nintendo DS! It's such a Japan thing to do, lol. Somewhat recently, a YouTuber that focuses on preserving game history got his hands on a real, genuine physical copy of the game (with password,) which had to be smuggled through both Japan and US customs because it was during the pandemic, and dumped the rom so everyone can have it for free. It's not quite so rare anymore, but it's kinda cool.

What about breadism?

The Bread Scale of Approval (inspired by A Leaf on the Wind) is more than enough. Although summoning hordes of the UnBread during Halloween is encouraged.
