  • TIL The candlefish is so rich in oils that when supplied with a wick it can be burned like a candle"

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply a matter of someone knowing that oil burns and noticing how oily the fish is, then having the brilliant idea of trying to light a fish on fire (alcohol may have been involved).

    That's how I like to imagine it, anyway.

  • Compared to the US, no other country on earth has a gun culture.

    Immediately, certain Middle Eastern countries where people celebrate by firing guns into the air come to mind.

  • I think this is about where it's important to remind people that the 24-hour news cycle is a relatively recent phenomenon. Many of us grew up in an era where the news played for an hour a couple times per day. One can hardly understate the impact this had on "the news".

    To keep it short and on-topic: The news used to almost exclusively feature big news stories because there wasn't time to cover everything. Local news would have smaller, local interest stories. Individual crimes mostly made the news when they were especially noteworthy. Now, news stations need to find anything to fill an entire day. This is how we went from journalists reporting on big stories to commentators "reporting" on every little thing ad nauseum. This has led gun crimes to receive a lot more national attention than they would have previously.

  • No. They are a big part of the culture's problems. Let's not pretend other problems, like widespread spiteful hate, aren't part of that same culture.

  • I hadn't been aware of the collaboration with the radio station until I watched the show Evil (episode 12).

    It's just a fun show, not political, but I'd recommend watching that episode. Not that it goes into great detail, but the acting and writing make it feel so much more understandable, how a radio host calling minorities cockroaches can really matter. Stochastic terrorism and all that.

  • which one do you prefer? having kids or no kids? and why??

    Jump

  • That's very generous of you. In my experience, the perspective I replied to is the one that is most prevalent and you can't mention being happy without kids without somebody chiming in to say or imply how happy you would be if you had them. It gets really old.

  • Spanish police arrest 10 after discovery of ‘highly sophisticated’ meth lab

    Jump

  • Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I wonder why this isn't something that ever makes the news here in the US. You hear about meth in the US (mostly when an individual drug user does something crazy or when their meth lab explodes), but anytime another country is mentioned in regards to drugs, it's always about fentanyl or opioids or cocaine or even cannabis.

  • Armenia officially recognises state of Palestine: Foreign Ministry

  • Historical, yes. They have recently realized that Russia does not have their back and the relationship has changed.

  • Adding an /s doesn't mean you can say things that make you come across as disingenuous and rude, and then suddenly everyone's like, "Ohh, okay. It's fine, they added an /s.'"

  • If there's one thing childfree people love, it's how there is always a parent ready to reply about how rewarding kids are.

  • TIL it's not just North America with a meth problem. You never hear about it in international news here.

    That's because only justice Clarence Thomas is 100% made of shit. The others have a bit of nougat hidden in there, but Thomas? Shit through and through.
