North Korea Claims To Invent Computer Drink
from the what-a-Friday dept
Okay, so there are usually one or two "bizarre" stories on Fridays, because it is, generally speaking, a slow news day. But today seems like a Friday of Fridays, with lots of bizarre stories. The latest one is that folks in North Korea (not South Korea - where computers and the internet are quite popular) have invented a "computer drink". It's for those who are suffering from "computer fatigue". However, by drinking this drink, the creators claim, computer users will reduce their "eye and mental strain". Sign me up. The only other details given are that the drink has ingredients from "the fruits of a tree" and has the ever-appealing "good odor and sweet and sour taste". Mmmmm-mmmmm.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
