I’m sorry for violating your criteria, but…
6th grade, gym class, we are all doing this new thing called “aerobics” and that hot new song on the radio is playing. The song with the chorus “My angel is a centerfold”.
Then again, that’s the year we had sex-ed, so we kids knew that adults sexually lusted after each other, so … 🤷
Not trying to rain on your parade (pun) but you may have been getting your climate change info only from the headlines of for-profit publications which rely on advertising for income. No reputable scientific consensus report indicates we’re all going to die or anything close.
Disasters will cause more damage and food will be more expensive. That’s the effects which Americans will experience for as far as the predictions can go.
I’ll link to IPCC in a sec.

Looks like this cartoonist liked visual jokes.
Ohhhh! Now I see what you mean. Yeah, I’ve known 2 different dudes from Nigeria over the years but I don’t know anything about the culture.
Like, I know they have a world class soccer team & I’ve heard of their dictator from the 70s – Idi Amin – but that’s about it. And yeah, I guess the spam email thing too.
I’m trying to figure out if you have a misplaced modifier with “obscure, lesser known”. You have it modifying “country” in the title. In other words, you want musicians of any level of renown who come from a lesser known country.
However, you mention Fela Kuti, who is from Nigeria, which is not a lesser known country. You would have to be very ignorant of basic world geography to not have heard of Nigeria.
And, as usual, commenters are completely ignoring your criteria by mentioning musicians from Germany and New Zealand and Columbia and Vietnam.
So perhaps you meant obscure musicians instead of obscure countries, but that would still leave me wondering what subset of countries you intended? Just countries other than your own? But if so, I don’t know what country you are in.
If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.
Wow. Gee whiz. My suggestions can’t compete with John Malkovich or Nigel Planer, but…
Some (maybe most?) Star Wars novels are packed with sound effects and electronic voice distortion effects. I’ve listened to Labyrinth of Evil, Darth Plagueis, and Path of Destruction.
Also, I recall being impressed listening to the Silmarillion and the narrator’s pronunciation. Sure, it was a professional production so they had to get it right, but still impressive to hear.
I’m not debating. It is not a matter of opinion. I’m doing you the courtesy of informing you how the entire rest of the world uses the term.
If action A looks for thing X, and it finds thing X, then the test is positive. If action A fails to find thing X, then the test is negative.
If action A claims to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is not really there, then this situation is called “false positive”.
If action A claims fails to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is actually there, then this situation is called “false negative”.
That thing X may subjectively be considered an unwanted outcome has **nothing ** to do with the terms used.
Just so you know, if your doctor calls and tells you that your HIV test is positive, you probably shouldn’t run out and celebrate.
Let me tell you a tale about downloading erotic jpeg files over 28k modems and stitching them back together, in which the image file was split into pieces, uuencoded and posted on Usenet.
In the 90s there was this purple dinosaur from a children’s TV show that everyone seemed to hate. I don’t know anything about him or why we were supposed to hate him. To know anything about him you would have to have watched a show for 3 year olds, so if you did that then you deserve to be annoyed by it. Right?
But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?
Same, but a year ago.
Also, Temu has tried to take all the shopping search results from Bing/DDG. So those results are trash now.
Atkins. The 00s low carb diet. How did people do it?
When I finally broke, I put steamed rice and French fries on a cheese pizza and rolled it up and ate it.

I’m not the person you are replying to but I do have one answer.
The Library of Congress should be tasked with maintaining a searchable index of Internet and World Wide Web sites. No ranking. Your skill at finding sites would be related to your skill with writing search queries
If you recall Altavista from the late 90s, I am thinking of something like that
After a few hours of playing Witcher 3, I realized it was Fable but more complicated. Have you ever played Fable 3?
After all these years I still don’t know how to look at what I’ve coded and tell you a big O math formula for its efficiency.
I don’t even know the words. Like is quadratic worse than polynomial? Or are those two words not legit?
However, I have seen janky performance, used performance tools to examine the problem and then improved things.
I would like to be able to glance at some code and truthfully and accurately and correctly say, “Oh that’s in factorial time,” but it’s just never come up in the blue-collar coding I do, and I can’t afford to spend time on stuff that isn’t necessary.
You sound like you played too much D&D.
