Saw one for the comments saying it was digital oil.
Havenβt laughed that hard since I was a little girl. I suppose you could call it a digital seed oil, and ADA, SOL etc are different forms of vegetable oils.
I often here the phrase "

How does it fix poverty, crime, inequality, corruption, government mismanagement?
People say, "fix the
