No love for some of the best examples:
Wizard of Oz
Airplane
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Ten Commandments
Evil Dead 2
Lord of the Rings

Various King Arthur, Robin Hood, Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, etc. films.

The Lord of the Flies scenario is most likely when essential resources like food are in short supply. Trained and previously organized groups like the military would implement strict rationing and work to expand their ability to gather sufficient resources for everyone. You can try to organize average people, but it's much more likely the biggest and strongest will take from the weaker. Organization will more likely be small gangs that use force to take from the rest. It takes a lot of discipline to half- starve yourself. If you've got to be shipwrecked, best to do so on a large island with lots of food and fresh water.

No idea why Zoom became flavor of the month. It was House Party before them, and Skype long before that. It's like web video back in the Real Media days, before things got standardized.
Easiest way is WebRTC based. Visit a site like https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/ put in a meeting name, Grant permissions for camera and mic. Set a password. Then send the link (and pass) to anyone you want to join. Nothing to install. Companies can set up their own jitsi or other WebRTC servers easily, too.

Katie isn't exactly the most trusted name in journalism. Bad journalists pick and choose guests who spout sensational claims, rather than accurate ones.
Throwing flour in there is at least some honestly. Sugar is just carbohydrates, the thing your body needs in larger quantities than anything else. And it's not as though the alternative (fats) doesn't have similar issues. This is all just click bait.

If you have to sleep outdoors, better to do so in a semi- tropical country. I suppose that's why such a large proportion of the group aren't actually homeless.

While gifs didn't go away, the outcry did establish PNG as a widely supported web image format. Unfortunately, PNGs don't do animations. The patents on GIFs expired before an alternative could be established... much like MP3s. These days, HTML5 video is starting to obsolete the gif for those little animations, because videos can be much smaller.

It's a question of internal damage, which just happens to be far less common than external damage (i.e. punctures, cracked sidewalls, etc). The driver might have hit a curb pretty hard, or failed to add air (driving on it while letting the pressure get very low). Other options are mishandling by the tire seller/installer, or just a rare manufacturing defect. Also a slim chance that a nail puncture was incorrectly patched, or a hundred other uncommon possibilities.

All the study really says is that greenies are self satisfied egomaniacs. Cargo culting those actions on others won't give you the same results.
