Discovered in the 1990s. It’s been known/used for decades now.
The repost bots often use oddly-phrased headlines -- often commenters will even talk about how weird the headline is. I can’t tell if the posters are actually bots, or if they are content farmers from certain countries. (The odd phrasing may sound natural in their language.)
Another tactic is to post an obviously incorrect headline to draw engagement, like mis-identifying a picture of the Empire State Building as Chicago.
Both of these happen frequently with image posts.

The CPI is a key economic indicator. It’s unlikely that banks and markets would tolerate that kind of meddling.
But, if the CPI was changed for political reasons, there are other similar stats.
In plain language: Wall Street can make or lose billions of dollars based on correctly/incorrectly forecasting this stat, so you can bet your ass they have accurate data. Some of it is private; some is available to paying customers. Even if the data is not public, it is often publicly characterized, for example, in economic forecasts and in publications like The Economist.
Some examples of alternative CPI sources are: PriceStats and The Economist’s Intelligence Unit. Both require paid access.
Be aware that freely-available stats may be published with political agendas, by Fox News conspiracy theorists, etc.
That’s the Consumer Price Index.
There’s also the related Producer Price Index which unfortunately does not include tariffs but will be interesting to watch.

Some cars use laminated glass side windows that can’t be broken by those tools.
Apple has not made the necessary APIs available. Only those two apps have animated icons. They’re made by Apple and so they are able to use the private APIs needed to do it.
It’s real. House & Garden Magazine, December 1971, page 127.
Also see the ad for “Lady Alsons Personal Shower” on page 28, and the Insta-Jet Propane Flame Gun, only $9.99, on page 113!

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)
Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.
This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.
Fuck PayPal.

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.
Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.
Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?
The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.
