Adam Peaty has claimed athletes at Paris 2024 have found worms in their food as he criticised inadequate catering at the Olympic village. The six-time Olympic medallist complained about the quantity and quality of food on offer as he said it would affect the performances of athletes.

My dad told a story about how they were honeymooning in Paris (this was back in the 60s) and they were at a cafe and they saw this interesting-looking cheese with black dots on it. And then they noticed the dots were moving. And then a waiter came by and waved a cloth on the cheese and they all flew away.

They did not order the cheese.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
