And ACTUAL Turkish delight is delicious, not the weird shite that gets called Turkish delight most of the time.

#9 this is remarkably similar to part of the plot of "Midnight Tides", book #5 of The Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Though you don't find out which character is secretly the ancient god of the seas until the end of the book.
Epic, world-building fantasy series. There's very little plot exposition, you learn things like the mechanics of the magic system and the history in bits and pieces along the way. The author tells you what you need to know when you need to know it.

#29 "grocery stopping"?

It's when the store is overstimulating, and you leave your cart in the middle of the aisle because you can't handle it anymore.

#25 To be fair, with names like kim/kloe/kylie, it's a lot easier to remember. If the first crew in space were named yuri/yaoi/yummy, and we had ads shoved in our faces incessantly featuring their names, it would be just as easy to remember

To be even more fair. There was a time between ~2010~2016 where that family was in the news almost every week for some stupid rich person problem that superficial people, talk shows, radio shows and news outlets covered.
And they covered it for no other reason than to make to make it everyone else’s problem.

To continue being fair although late, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was a *cosmonaut* and I'd bet you a Big Mac that people in the former Soviet Union the same age as those in that history class are/were familiar with him.
(And Valentina Tereshkova.)

If you’re gonna believe in that much magic, why go through all the extra steps and just believe the sorry as written?

Because other cultures have also come up with these monsters. Not one religion who apes things from other religions all the time.

#38, #39 please explain the Achilles part for my friend
LegendofSleek
I'm not 100% sure myself. But I can leave you with some context, and you can draw what conclusions you will.
- The Illiad leaves no ambiguity that Achilles was a wrathful person.
- In the Illiad Achilles wrath is most famously invoked twice; once when Agamemnon takes the woman Briseis away from him, and again when Hector kills Achilles's "friend" Patroclus.
- A later Roman poem includes a bit where Achilles cross dresses
LegendofSleek
Hell, sent that before I was done. Anyway- I'm not a scholar on the subject. But I think the joke is inspired by some mix of the above and Achilles's modern popularity in queer spaces.

Thanks!

Additional info on the rage bit: the very first line(s) of the Iliad, the poet's invocation of the muse to tell a story through them, is translated along the lines of "Sing, goddess, of the rage of Achilles." So while a lot of stuff happens in the Iliad, what the poem is really ABOUT is Achilles' rage (and the incredible destruction that results from it).
