Feel free to add your own. Please note this is not just "any" fun blockbuster, it's a certain subset where it's a bit of a romp, everyone in the cast is having fun and it's just a joy to watch.

Petrov Day is great but I do feel Vasili Arkhipov is overlooked

Arkhipov was involved during the Cuban Missile crisis. Americans dropped depth charges on the nuclear submarine he was on. Arkhipov and two others had to unanimously agree on whether to fire a nuclear missile. The other two wanted to fire Arkhipov refused and prevented the Cold War from going hot at a critical juncture.

Arkhipov Day when?

On the 27th of October 1962 Vasili Arkhipov refused to launch a nuclear missile and plunge the world into nuclear war.

Happy Arkhipov Day!

It's okay. You're having a panic attack. Just breathe.

I haven't seen it get mentioned on Tumblr yet but Samsung has just gotten caught in a hilarious scam: they apparently advertised how their latest phones can take great picture of the moon, compared to other phones!

But it turns out they aren't using machine-learning to clear up blurry pictures, they're using machine-learning to detect when you're taking a picture of the moon, and then they swap in a saved PNG file of the moon.

A reddit user figured this out by taking a photo of the moon from Wikipedia, blurring it in photoshop, then trying to photograph it from across the room with all the lights turned out.

Their Samsung phone somehow managed to "clear up" the blurriness and recover details that weren't there in the first place. Because it's just cheating.
