From a Microsoft employee: with all the conspiracy theories people have about Microsoft secretly planning to control th world, the most surprising thing is them assuming MS are this organized to attemp it.

Edit: I’m not the employee, it was Scott Hanselman from MS who said it.

That’s really ironic, since the word barista was popularized by fascists in 1938 and throughout WW2, because Mussolini wanted to replace the word barman which wasn’t Italian enough.

I meant the purposeful spread by agriculture, not the natural way.

Peppers are that way because birds don’t taste the hotness and they spread seeds further than other animals. I guess humans spread seeds even further as you can get them shipped from another continent really easily. Although birds also fly those distances, they poop more frequently.
