American Kit Kats are made by the Hershey company and no money goes to Nestlé.

Explanation:
Kit Kat used to be a Rowntree's product, and Hershey bought the right to make the candy in the U.S. in perpetuity back in 1970. When Nestlé bought Rowtree's, they had to abide by the contract to license out the Kit Kat for no royalties, because the only condition of the agreement is that Hershey loses the license if the company ever gets sold. And since selling the Kit Kat bar is so valuable, buying Hershey for what it's currently worth would mean instantly losing a large amount of Hershey's value, so even when they've tried to find a buyer, nobody will buy the company—even Nestlé refused to buy Hershey in 2002.

And that's even considering the fact that Google deliberately throttles Firefox on their sites

"I'm not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style."

Everything Google has done with emojis after the original version of the blobmojis has been obnoxious and weird

It was written in stone that he would end up a Dodger as soon as he signed with the Angels. It has all played out exactly as planned.

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You'll get a desktop that appears normal but can't be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim's mouse the wrong way around if they're gullible and they'll think the mouse messed everything up,

This would be better than what they currently do, which is just upsetting. For example, let's make a water-type panda Pokémon:

  1. cute blue panda cub
  2. darker blue panda, slightly bigger and with longer limbs, with lame attempt at giving it "attitude"
  3. somebody's blue panda fursona with abs, pecs, and a crotch bulge

or
3. somebody's blue panda fursona with Pixar mom hips and a bust with a fur tuft on it
