Quordle today (game #1057) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1057, are…
Renewable energy, CBD, analytics, online gambling, true crime podcasts, AI… the 21st century has seen many booming industries. Among them, SLIME is the most unexpected and niche of them all (even AI couldn’t have predicted it).
In the last century, slime was an amount of money poured over people’s heads on TV game shows or used for pranks. Today it has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, with companies and entrepreneurs pushing (and percolating) the boundaries of what you can stick your fingers into.
These are complicated times and Slime is pure chemical fun. I mean, it’s better than sticking your hands in a tub of CREAM, but I would never scold someone for their hobbies.
