Now I'm craving Soylent Green

True this, but the difference is that now all the modern music really is c**p. /jk

to small, unreadable (even on insta)

I guess this is why the years seem to go faster as you get older. I turned 50 last month and was thinking best case scenario I'm half way through my life, but now I see even if I live to be 100 I'm already nearly dead!

One summer I was visiting Glacier National Park, looking at a mountain and, you guessed it, a glacier. An older woman, there with her teenage children, piped up asking, "What's all that white stuff on the top of the mountain?" To which one of her kids replied, "It's a glacier, Mom." The mom, no joke, retorted, "I don't think so cuz it's summertime and there isn't snow during the summer. I think it's probably a bunch of sheep grouping together to stay warm." Seriously! A grown woman argued that the glaciers in GLACIER National Park, are actually herds of sheep clumped together. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

Berlin...yeah, we just drag that city with us for some reason...

I wouldn't think there's many, if any, old growth trees in the lighter green middle-of-Australia sections on this map! This makes it look like the arid, desert regions are vastly wooded lol.

But you're still trying to recycle Trump.

If you want a better look at who lived where, go here--> https://native-land.ca/ . It shows where the native peoples lived. It's mostly North America, but there are some in Africa as well. Edit: They've added the tribes in Australia!!! Those weren't there last time I looked.

Motorcyclists have a chance of accident 30 TIMES higher than car drivers. Chance of injury is on average 4 times higher and chance of death is 28 times higher. A biker is 120 TIMES more likely to get hurt in an accident than a car driver or passenger. Statistically, the biker is overwhelmingly more likely to be at fault, and the most common cause is the aggregated "Driver error" category, that includes distracted and aggressive driving, lane splitting or overtaking where not allowed. 34% of fatalities are from speeding on the biker's part, and 28-40% of accidents depend on the biker being under influence of alcohol. Even in most accidents where the car driver is at fault, there is often a concurrent cause of the biker erratically driving (crossing lanes, zigzagging through traffic) or lack of visibility conditions (no high-viz -and often black- clothing, moving too close to vans and truck blindspots)

Howdy, from "the red zone"

Sorry, I'm not driving 2,645km just to have a day at the beach

I was born in blue with one parent born in red but living in & with citizenship in blue, whilst the other parent born in red living in & with citizenship in red. Which is why I have jus soli citizenship/ passport & jus sanguinis citizenship & passport, having lived back & forth between both.

Eight months: Convict ships from England to Australia when colonisation happened. They really must have thought they were going to the end of the world.

This is based on where people are resident when they die, not where they lived. The Florida cluster demonstrates how skewed this one is, due to the fact that many people don't move there until their old age.

Harrison Tyler must have a hell of a lot of paternal mutations in his DNA.

This is a compound of the technology maturing far faster than expected with scientific breakthroughs, production cost dropping far quicker than expected from technological improvements and scale economy, and panels outperforming even the best life expectancy estimates by a factor of 5. Countries who invested in solar and wind production have seen the price of energy visibly drop as a result, and being far more stable than any other countries, including those that focused on nuclear energy.

Stay weird, Buthan.

cool

Thanks, Ozempic.

I want to know how big a drink is. Is it the same as the standard(-ish) 'unit of alcohol' commonly used by governments telling us how much we should (or should not) drink?

when you have good food and good company, you take your time :)

From Nevada, lived all over the west coast, and I use y'all all the time.

This is why we're doomed - We're not going to tackle climate change because rich countries will not reduce their energy use. They tickle the problem by talking about sustainable energy sources, but you'll never win an election by saying we're using too much. A rake is cheap, will last a lifetime and is powered by your breakfast, but it doesn't generate wealth like a leaf-blower does!

Remarkably little variation actually. I wonder how it would compare with figures from thirty of forty years ago.

If you want to know: Spain eats so late, because they share Middle European Time (the same time zone as Poland), so the sun rises and sets a lot later on he clock than in most other countries.

Chai is a different process, where the leaves are processed with the "Crush, Tear & Curl" process (CTC), while Tea uses fermented full leaves (the so-called "Orthodox" method). In China the first type is called "Cha", while the second is called "Tê". Both come from the same word (茶), that is pronounced differently in the north (where the CTC process was born and trading mostly via land transport, thus Chai) and in the south (where full leaves were common and trade was mostly via sea, so "Tea"). It's a mistake to conflate the two processes since they are different per culture and tradition, the fact they spread in different ways is just a consequence.

150.000 USD is crazy affordably compared to Germany. The average price for a house here is 345.000 USD (320.000€). (And before people explain it to me, this is because we build our houses of brick, not wood.)
