Children's book about a kid and an alien represented by an asterisk (*)
I read a book as a child, probably in the early 1990s, whose story sick with me but which I haven't been able to find since. The plot goes thusly: a child plays a semi text-based video game in which he controls a character (represented by an asterisk), but it later becomes apparent that … -

TIL that the "holes" in Swiss cheese were, until recently, seen as a sign of imperfection and something cheesemakers tried to avoid
...
Three types of bacteria are used in the production of Emmental: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, and Propionibacterium freudenreichii.

ELI5 "TheRedPill" and its incomprehensible terminology
A couple of recent posts in /r/bestof (one, two) drew my attention to /r/TheRedPill, which I'd not come across before. I looked at that subreddit... and I still don't get it.

I'm worried about whatseventhepoint on /r/self

I don't know what to do anymore. I've exhausted any little hope I'd had, and now there's nothing.
