Do you get a free info kit for applying that coat of arms to your casket/headstone when the docs give you the final drugs?

200k karma seems like a pretty decent contribution. Or do you need like 1 million?
Do nudes count?

“In general, eligibility for a grant of arms is based on an individual's contributions to the community, although the exact criteria for grants or registrations have not been published. A number of grants have been made to people who have already been recognized with state honours for their notable achievements, such as through admission to the Order of Canada, and who are accordingly entitled to a grant of arms.”
Lol none of us would be eligible to receive them anyways.

Is there a data base of cost of arms for each last name? Would love to look up what mine looks like based on someone who shares my last name (I’m American so I cannot do this)

I can attest to this! I worked at Costco for 13 years as a free samples hander-outer guy and we didn't ONCE work for the same company as Costco.

Reply to TIL that in 2020, to educate the public about misinformation, researchers used AI to have Richard Nixon deliver the never-used "In Event of Moon Disaster" Apollo 11 speech. by [deleted]
They should have used all the speeches as revealed by xkcd, "when astronauts abscond with craft", "when they encounter aliens" etc

Reply to comment by CompleteSet4781 in TIL that it is a common misconception that the reflection of the sky is the sole reason bodies of water appear blue. It is primarily because water absorbs colours in the red part of the light spectrum. by monkey-tennis
What if the water is blue BECAUSE the earth is flat? Think about it. Blue is on the shorter end of the wave length, the red light goes a lot further and falls off the edge of the earth, leaving only blue light left for the oceans

Is that why the sample lady doesn't say "I love you" like the large guy at the front door does? (too obscure?)

I’ve seen something like what this comment talks about. That would be my approach.
