I just saw a TV ad for Kalshi that had long odds for things like “Will the Wright brothers fly?”

My favorite that they use to end the spot was “Will The Spartans win the War?”

I assume they meant the Gates of Thermopylae.
So it leans into pedantic dickheads arguing about their payout.

Another "off brand" use of #cryptids. I know, I know, the #cryptozoology people HATE HATE HATE that the word "cryptids" has escaped their pedantic gatekeeping and is being used to describe weird things. But, hey, words evolve; they aren't yours to keep. wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/Cryptids
