I really thought, because it was setting up “five spices” and china, that it was a lead-in to Chinese five spice as the only spice she could think of

The aluminum and other metals in the space crafts bond with the ozone, which could fuck with our magnetosphere. It turns out it’s mostly from satellites burning up on reentry, which makes way more sense though.

There’s a chance that the aluminum residue from hundreds of annual rocket launches will destroy the ozone layer, without which the earth will lose its atmosphere relatively quickly.

*the aluminum is from all of our satellites burning up on reentry, which makes way more sense.

Does that matter? It’s not an attack on Americans: Europeans, Japanese people and South Koreans also use more than their fair share, along with many other countries, roughly correlated with wealth.

I think we agree, lol. Richer areas use more resources and poorer areas use fewer. It’s not 1:1, but it’s pretty close.

Certainly, but those are the wealthy regions, which don’t really fit into the “developing” stage anymore imo. They’re more developed than the (mainland) UK was when the terminology became common.

I’m also lost. Because logically it should be the white, but I see a red and white striped midsection of the train and a red and white flecked can, so I think it must be coming from the black pixels.

Afaik, Americans use about 20% of the world’s resources with about 4% of the population. China and India both do use a lot of resources, but they’re also a third of the world’s population

I believe it was genuine and the person you responded to was messing with you or misunderstood. It does happen to the best of us, and the smiley face seems like a reassuring gesture.

I study the extremely soft science of grammar…

Thank you! That’s it exactly

Where’s the copypasta of someone analyzing this way too hard when you need it and good god, why is google so shitty?

…the Mexican cartel is always watching India

Oof

This is the problem.

When the author of the most widely read children’s books is media illiterate, how are we surprised that critical thinking skills are down?

That’s accurate!

The best unexpected“perk” of a job I’ve ever had was at a restaurant where we served a beet salad. Twice a week, the kitchen would cook and mandoline the beets, then let them dry off a little on baking sheets. The chef was incredibly annoyed that I would regularly steal something that literally left me red-handed, but they were too good to resist.

You actually just need a LOT of stimulation, same as women. It’s not a fun or recommended way to start lactating, but it’ll do the trick

To be fair, that would be a good source of riboflavin.

The heat fills my brain and I can’t think about anything else
