A church actually helping the poor, well done!

Weighs about 30 tons. Like, 5 elephants and 37 VW beetles...

Something tells me he probably donated his prize money too.

There is a really good 2014 99% Invisible podcast about this. …. It happened in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle

I so want to take this guy's classes!

Would love to see this in England.

Bucket list item for sure, but maybe more towards the end.

Is not so much for liberating the country (US and Polish troops also played a big part in that) but for keeping the royal family safe during their exile. And temporarily changing part of a hospital Dutch soil so that the princesses were born in the Netherlands.

I do the same with my labrador :-)

Cool! Yet another reason why not to keep them as pets?

I have a sundial, I attached a light to it so it works at night also.

...fill it in?

Imagine what my life would have been like if BP had censored the word 'd**g' effectively in the above image. I could have been someone.. I could have made positive change in the world.. I could have lived with purpose. Sadly, my young mind was corrupted in an instant and I am now spiralling into darkness. My once promising mind is corrupted and I shall only know torment until my blackened heart rests at the end of what will surely be a cursed life. Why, BP? WHY? Tell your children what has happened here today, lest they sink into the same deep, dark cavern of woe.

Svalbard, Norway. And it's threatened by climate change, so...

As my anthropology prof said, we are all out of Africa

I have A neg. I signed up to donate blood some years ago and I've been donating regularly. It seems to be a rare type (at least in my area), because I am sometimes contacted by someone from the donation center and asked if I could come on day X for an urgent blood request. It's cool to know you're really helping someone. Someday you might be the one in need of blood.

What is the difference between a rabbit lifting weights and a rabbit with a carrot in its ear? Ones a fit bunny, the other is a bit funny.

And no/very little free freshwater available?

They're an offshoot of the Chinese Red Delicious; like the majority of apples are cultivated to be this way, not natural. The growing conditions are very specific so incredibly hard to duplicate hence why you don't see others trying to grow them. You can, however, get the Arkansas Black Apple, which is very similar in appearance though tart rather than sweet. Also cultivated of course.

Calling it a diamond mine is a bit like calling a mountain stream a gold mine just because panning for gold can actually produce a modest amount of gold. The place is Crater of Diamonds State Park, and park statistics say that about 1 of every 200 visitors finds a diamond. A few very valuable diamonds have been found, but the park says that most aren't even appraised. I'm sure it can be fun, but it would be a mistake t think there's a good financial reason for a visit.

I know in my brain it's an octopus, however, doesn't that look like my man's carrying a 8 armed Alien through the water?!?!?

And she has already donated billions of dollars to various charities

Eats 300000 (a) mo(n)th.

People who work with pineapples, cutting them up for processing etc, lose their fingerprints, the acids in the pineapples eat the ridges away.

Neither her or Stephen Hawking never had a twitter account. The rest is also partially inaccurate https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sabrina-pasterski-physics-girl/

Also one of the strongest currencies in the world.

Copying my comment from below. I watched several architect videos stating that such buildings were absolutely unsustainable and an absurdity (issues with constantly having to care for the trees, inc roots growing, flats being infested with bugs (inc mosquitoes) to the point where inhabitants don't open their windows) massive use of water etc. Several people in the comments who lived in such buildings seemed to validate these points...If you have some further feedback i'm interested

Or maybe just plant a tree? In the US, these tanks would be vandalized and broken in no time at all.

Do they do anything useful, or could we have rid of them completely?

also for maple syrup. The real stuff.

That looks so very uncomfortable.

So, apparently it wasn’t a door.

Really cool to eat a lemon afterwards, but the sweet-taste is little bit different than ordinary sugar.

*stashes under Christmas Tree* "It's a soap set".

Do ppl eat the cherries?

The problem comes with the search engine. Error 404 file not found

Wrong. We all know the strongest material known to humans is that one strand of spider web you walk into when you least expect it.

Job security.

So many bananas!

Shake your tail feather!

No, thank you. My dreams are really weird, usually involve strange architecture and not enough bathrooms, and watching them once in my sleep is quite enough.

How deep?

I don't know if I have to go that bad. I can hold it. 😬

It's the perfect wave, you can surf it foreever.

and thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed to make place for sugarcane plantations (one article said 16.3 thousand km2) So it is very bad for the environment

This is misleading. They land in the water, they just don't go to solid ground very often.

Why is Albatross in quotes? They are real, genuine birds that actually exist and are called, believe it or not, albatrosses. :-)

Just heard this yesterday too. They sleep while flying....crazy

Albatross! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PJix23IeF8&t=6s
