So instead of :) it’s :o

Is it just me or does the third panel person pointing slightly look like an alligator

Heartbreaking for them

Unfortunately I have no sympathy for these fools

Yup, my point is that red states gdp is being propped up by blue cities. The argument that red states generate equivalent gdp conveniently ignores that the counties in the state that do vote red don’t actually generate that much gdp. Cities are generally blue because the very nature of city life leans blue, and if you take these blue cities out of the equation you’d end up with a fraction of the supposed gdp of a red state.

And honestly a lot of these supposedly red states would crumble if gerrymandering didn’t exist, but that’s a separate point.

Let’s look at Texas voting by county https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas

Now let’s look at the proportion of gdp by county https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Texas_counties_by_GDP_2021.png

Hmm I wonder where most of the money in red states comes from…

Your bug sounds pretty strong, can I fight it?

Honestly I’d rather money be wasted on golf than dismantling the entire US

a nice 140 usd discount sounds like a decent incentive

By the time trump hands over the US there might not be anything left, considering how much has exploded in 4 months

Brine can be from industrial waste

Technically, brine just means a high concentration of salt in a fluid. It doesn’t necessarily have to be sodium chloride like we know, it can be other salts, like calcium chloride. Though the most common case for industrial brine is just desalination plants, other industries can still create brine, like mining/oil drilling. It also depends on how it’s released. Large amounts dumped at once is the reason for manmade brine pools.

Solid post, froge approved.

There are lakes in the ocean called brine lakes/pools. Brine is essentially concentrated saltwater; its high salinity means it’s denser than water. On rare occasions, brine doesn’t mix enough with the existing saltwater around it, sinking to the bottom of the ocean and forming these lakes. The lake itself is usually devoid of life; brine itself is so salty that animals go into toxic shock if exposed for too long. However, the edges usually are full of life, where usually things like mussels and other extremophile organisms thrive.

Side note, subnautica’s lost river is based off of this. No big leviathans in real life though, at least none observed yet…

I used to get a daily dose of tea from aita and tifu

It’s like reading a drama but for some random person’s life somewhere on the planet

The college special

Just a bit of minor data cleanup beforehand, totally legit

Yea big gains for current billionaires which as far as trump is concerned are the only people he cares about

Mothers always pass the X chromosome due to how the egg works from what I remember. The sperm determines whether you get x or y for the second part.

There is a rare event where you can have multiple sex chromosomes, like XYY, but the X is always present (at least for humans). Considering the genes in an X chromosome are vital to life, even if we could artificially create YY, it would probably end up nonviable

I wouldn’t mind the stock market exploding if the economy didn’t also follow suit

It’s absolutely bull that the entire country has to deal with this shit when the stock market drops while only the rich benefits when the stock market does good.

About 11 dollars usd for 18 eggs in WA for me which is prob around 14 ish CAD

Edit: oops they’re actually 18 count which is not a dozen

When you can’t trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it’s hard to interact within the internet.

Sure, you can find real human connections by “touching grass”, but the internet shouldn’t be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn’t ever be.

I don’t know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good

I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks
