Fun fact, ancient cultures were able to prove the Earth was round with two sticks and the sun. In fact, no one thought Christopher Columbus would sail over the edge. They didn't want to fund his voyage because they thought he had grossly UNDER estimated the circumference.

True, only "food!" elicited an excited response in my cat

The fact he is so widely depicted this way still is ridiculous

Especially when, you don´t know why you are being yelled at or know you are right and till get a slap. It´s taken me 40+ years

Well, there are a couple of people who are so stupid, I believe even Darwin would take a second guess.

B*****d

The Japanese eat eggs all the time and live to be 100 +

Some "alpha males" won't like such news.

Improper training and lazy owners cause the problem, not the doggie.

Science works like an open mind - it changes with new information.

First thing that came to mind after reading "BP" was that Bored Panda invented carbon footprint...

It's EVERYONE's responsibility. This kind of factoid just gives people an excuse not to do 5Hlt.

And then found a way to charge for it

The Carbon Footprint is a weapon. People attempt to coerce others into reducing consumption they may well need for quality of life, just because fossil fuels are the only way to attain and distribute them for a well society.

Corporations (including Big Oil) exist only because there's a demand for their products and services. Demand = Consumers. Switch gears for a second: The demand for EVs is skyrocketing and the most critical component of EVs is batteries, which are natural resource-intensive to produce. Does the responsibility for the resource-destructive mining of those elements lie with battery-makers or people who buy them?

This is so dangerous and stupid - people love blaming corporations for things when it is their responsibilities and actions in the end that still need to change. For example, if a country's citizens protest the oil industry and manage to shut it down or slow it down, like what's going on in Canada, but those citizens DONT stop driving or using oil products, then it just changes the supply to other foreign sources. You basically shut down your own industry, kill your own jobs, and shackle your own economy, while usually supporting a foreign country that has less regulation. That's why emissions are increasing in Canada even though the oil industry is being limited and investment and companies are leaving. The consumers are still using oil products, and oil is being imported from the middle east by tanker ship. For the average person in the west now there is an incredible refusal to accept that they are the problem, as everything needs to be blamed on corporations or governments.

Nowadays, it is almost a given that information distributed by the companies with the most interest in the matter is usually misleading at best and a down-right lie at worst.

70% of waste in the UK is generated by the building/developement trade, melting tundra is producing as much CO2 as volcano's, it's not your bonfire which is the problem, it's actually not your takeaway carton either, it is the rich with their three yachts, five sports cars and 40 empty, heated bedrooms.

I would love to see where they got this info from. On one hand, yes they came up with the term carbon footprint but

The anecdotal and experiential evidence points to a strong genetic link. And yet, for many different people and cultures worldwide, sexual orientation is a spectrum rather an either/or over their lifetimes. Is there a genetic predisposition to Bi-Pan-A sexualities as well?

And the batteries ....

Ah, time to get that cheesecake...

Hallelujah brother!! Testify 🤲

You can pry my sugar from my cold… dead… fingers.

Capitalism is the root cause. Profits above all!

No. Earth is a tiny, insignificant disc in space.

Sex IS NOT THE SAME HAS Gender... One is biological (no, you are male or female, and no op will change this fact - males are bioloigically different from females) and the other a social context (you can CALL yourself whatever you want - man, woman, butterfly, a TV screen, whatever, but you're still either male or female)... Sorry to spoil your party.

but going out in the cold can lower your immune system making you more likely to get sick.

Myers Briggs is horoscopes for those who think they are too smart for horoscopes. That said, I always get the same result when I take a Myers Briggs :D

Don’t get between a man baby and his beloved giant twuck. Vroom vroom.

I envy the poeple who can bike, swim, walk, run their minds clean. I personally find exercising so mindnumbingly boring that instead, my mind starts treadmilling each and every problem of the past day, week or even something that happened 20 years ago.

It CAN BE hereditary. It is not hereditary in ever instance. There are more than one ‘causes’ or catalysts to autism.

But many GMO foods are designed to be more resistant to herbicides, which means more herbicides are used in farming GMO crops. Our bodies may not be able to distinguish the GMO food from non-GMO food, but can it detect the extra herbicides? And how well do other animals (such as 'good' insects like bees and ladybirds) deal with these herbicides?

That’s because people assume that all addictions are physical, ignoring potential and very real psychological addictions. But that doesn’t change the fact that “weed” has spectacular medicinal advantages, but as with everything needs to be used responsibly and with respect.

Yeah, but "jellyfish" is easier to say. Siphonophore sounds like I'm insulting your mother.
