Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

TIL that lots of people remember it as “walk softly and carry a big stick.”

Google "walk softly and carry a big stick."

Apparently it's a very commonly-remembered phrase. I'm betting there's an interesting backstory as to how so many people came to remember it as "walk softly."

TIL that Pikachu was originally supposed to have a third evolution: Gorochu



The Pokemon team originally developed 190 Pokemon for the first edition but had to cut it down to 151 due to cartridge data limitations.
