静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上：
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today）

Myth: The tongue is divided up into specific areas that are solely responsible for sensing certain tastes (e.g., sweet at the tip, bitter at the back)
Fact: The tongue's receptor cells that identify the molecules underlying the basic tastes (sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami) are distributed on taste buds all over the tongue although some areas may be slightly more sensitive to certain flavors..

People think hair and nails grow after death, but it’s an optical illusion: as skin dehydrates and shrinks, nails and hair look longer — No actual postmortem growth happens.

Myth: Glass flows over time, making old windows thicker at the bottom.
Fact: Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning its atoms are arranged randomly, not in a pattern like crystals. It stays solid at all normal temperatures and only softens above 600°C (1112°F). Old windows are thicker at the bottom because of how they were made, not because glass moves. 🔥🌡️

Viking helmets with horns are -mostly- a myth. Only one authentic Viking helmet exists, without horns. Horned helmets appear in art linked to berserkers—fierce warriors who likely wore them for rituals, not battle. Horns would be impractical in combat, and no historical records mention Vikings wearing them. Real Viking helmets were simple and functional. ⚔️🛡️

❄️ Hot water does NOT freeze faster than cold water.
While a rare phenomenon called the Mpemba effect suggests it can happen under specific conditions, cold water almost always freezes first.

The idea that skinny people have fast metabolisms is a myth. Metabolism depends largely on muscle mass—more muscle means higher energy use. Skinny people usually have less muscle, so their metabolism is often slower. Weight and appearance don’t reliably show metabolism speed.

Myth: opposums sleep while hanging by their tails.
Fact: Opossums do not hang upside down by their tails 🐾. Their tails are strong for gripping branches and carrying nesting materials but can’t hold their full weight for long. Young opossums might dangle briefly but don’t sleep that way. They “play possum” by pretending to be dead when scared, which helps protect them from predators.
