I used to think that those recovery questions are stupid, but no. The user is the stupid one, entering the expected information. A few years ago I just decided to enter another generated password in each of the recovery questions, and store them alongside the main one in my password manager. Yes, the school I attended in the fourth grade was nVKuq&zo5BiCOc*0JY5JZHsgRPqcJEumBKV5tt%uSk#acN60s!uLh5MIGwobA3YyHIq3dQxm8r0Yhloloc&3a3BLm!nNbAZ%Vzut - it's worked for every site I've tried it on, too.
Uno reverse the hackers, 4 passwords instead of 1.
Nice. My bank lets me pick my own questions, too. The answers are a transformation of the question which, itself, is just some ASCII. My wife uses the same login for the bank, and she hates it.
Now, you got me thinking. I could make the questions cryptographic hashes that I decrypt to an answer. My wife is going to kill me.

Yeah, I seem to recall Dinosaurs having 22/23 hour long days. It's been a while, my memory is a bit foggy
And Dexter Morgan has 36 hour days.

According to a 2023 study, a day on Earth was approximately 19 hours for a significant part of Earth's early history
That headline plays fast and loose with “history” — history supposedly started in 1973?
Reading comprehension has left the chat

Saved you a click:
"The cause of this acceleration is not explained," Leonid Zotov, a leading authority on Earth rotation at Moscow State University, told Timeanddate.com. "Most scientists believe it is something inside the Earth. Ocean and atmospheric models don't explain this huge acceleration."
Zotov predicts Earth’s rotation may soon decelerate once again. If he’s right, this sudden speeding-up could prove to be just a temporary anomaly in the planet’s long-term trend toward slower rotation and longer days.
"Something" in the core is "happening" "in a way" that's speeding us up. Temporarily.
This is just minor trivia in Earth's history.

https://xkcd.com/162/Old xkcd just hits differently. Like more poetic and romantic.
