China executed mfers when companies sold tainted baby milk powder.

Hot take but I blame gamers stuffing the pockets of these sort of publishers by lapping up early access and pre orders. It gives publishers no incentive whatsoever to change their ways because they still have the only thing they truly care about: money.

Sharing, and believing in, fictions is how distilled units of information are efficiently passed down generations and is one of the bedrocks of our development as a species. This is what allows us to have laws and corporations and agreeing to drive on particular side of the road.

Yuval Noah Harari covers this more eloquently in his book Sapiens. You would definitely dig the relevant chapters.

Damn, I did not know Ket could depress respiration like this! In fact Ket is used medicinally in place of opioids as it doesn't depress respiration. But here is the TIL part: it should not be mixed with benzos or alcohol (or other depressants I would imagine). I don't use bu I hope someone who does get to read this.

Fat people hate this one simple trick.

History began on October 7th and not one day before.

I have noticed this trend of whatever Israel is accusing others of perpetuating, it is usually heavily involved in itself.

Oh that's perfectly fine then! Thanks for taking the load off my mind.

So hanging up a nazi flag should be completely acceptable. Got it

Users not reading shit I can understand but it makes my blood boil when it your own bloody colleagues.

Whataboutism and race carding at its finest.

Sanest grad meme.

I haven't had Netflix for a while and was recently shocked at just how awful the quality was. (this was with decent internet + "full HD" subscription)

This has precedent, remember the time they found Arabic flight manuals in the abandoned cars of the 9/11 perpetrators? Similarly these fighters had written notes on them in case they forgot what they were up to on the way there.

I recently signed up for YT premium. Don't get me wrong, I still used ad blockers and ReVanced like a mf, but considered it only fair seeing how much YT and music I have streamed.

Having met many Israelis, no they do not. They (for the most part) swallow the government propaganda hook line and sinker.

Great question! It sent me into a Google frenzy and here is what I found.

Q3 to me means three month period from 1st July to 30th September. During this time, there were 20 Starlink 'V2 mini' and 2 'V1.5' launches. Each 'V2 mini' mission contained 21-23 satellites, which I averaged to 22, and ~50 in each 'V1.5' mission. Further, each 'V1.5' satellite weighs in at 306kg and each 'V2 mini' weighs in at 800kg.

Phew! With all that out of the way, putting all that together ((20×800×22)+(2×306×50)), we arrive at a figure of 382,600kg. Uncannily, this is almost exactly the same as the figure reported in the graphic, and of course there were a lot more Falcon 9 launches in the intervening period, leading me to believe the reported tonnage figure excludes Starlink satellites. See edit below.

This is all napkin maths done in the middle of the night, please feel free to (gently!) correct me if needed.

Inevitable correction: Q3 (as defined above) saw only one non-Starlink related Falcon 9 launch (source), therefore ~99.6% of reported tonnage was Starlink related!

A world class intelligence agency, which would normally know the contents and length of your bowel movement, totally shits the bed and lets an egregious attack play out, while their media assets chalk it up to a "failure of imagination" .

Where have I seen this one before?

Given how shady both Egypt and Israel are, I am sure they knew exactly who planned the attack and for when because because the intelligence asset handler reported it in.

Bet they have proof Hamas did it.
