In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included.

I have come across many weird porn videos, gore etc. but a few times I have come across something that isn’t that disturbing but uncanny. A random login page on a dark web site, a random comment on some sports blog seemingly written to conceal something. What are the things you have seen?
The US government's standards for fuel economy paradoxically push car manufacturers to make bigger vehicles. The few mid-size pickups still available are now as big as full size pickups once were.
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.

Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
The phrasing of the title had me thrown for a second as I wondered if the complaints were about the quality of the golf balls at Tesla's practice facility(s) and how I missed knowing that Tesla had a golf division.

The units of measurement for time are probably the only units of measurement that almost every country on earth agrees upon (libranet.de)
