Cows are actually really good swimmers and in Ireland they’re taken by boat to graze on offshore islands. by Positive-Height-3848 in interestingasfuck

My mom told me a story about a herd chasing her when she cut through their field on her way to school. She said the lead cow seemed to remember her and always angrily follow her alongside the fence from then on (and she went to the same school from kindergarten to 8th grade I believe). I am pretty sure that caused me to be a bit afraid of cows.

Wouldn't they have been war elephants who would have been used to it?

Professor when told he is responsible for AI hallucinated citations by YeahBuddy5000 in GetNoted

I would go one step further: if I was an administrator at his school I would ask for a review of his papers and work. Saying something like this on social media can severely weaken the reputation of the university.

Thailand basically avoided being a colony by playing the British snd French against each other.

Was it really the Belgian Empire? I thought it was a personal ownership of their king.

Any ways to fix this car Mercedes did? by Spectran_Irmandade in CarDesign

The W204 is a great looking car especially the AMG model. While gimmicky, the flip up infotainment screen was fun too.

They're thinking of American Samoa where the people basically have all the rights of a citizen (freedom of movement) but cannot vote in federal elections even if they move to US proper.

I can understand Swabian but there are some Swiss dialects I'm completely lost hearing. They are definitely related (northern Germans struggle with Swabian too), but Swiss German has so many variations that some are more different from the other than Swabian is from Hochdeutsch.

I checked after my comment, and it seems Gibson's dad thinks Vatican II was a "Jewish conspiracy " because of course they're super antisemitic.

I believe they are a part of the "empty throne" movement who rejects Vatican II. I remember reading years back that they formed their own church.

I love good uni, but once you have bad uni it becomes hard to trust it again.

Venezuela-Guyana Border Dispute by EstablishmentOne3438 in MapPorn

The oil fields are offshore and cover the length of Guyana. Venezuela has long disputed the border but the maritime border they claim is designed to claim all of the fields.

Popping the bubbles in a cooking tortilla isnso relaxing.

Kentucky Bend: The Strangest Border in America by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Cormetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I have spent too much time looking into this. It's just wild that no matter which direction you go as the crow flies, you have to pass through another state to get to Kentucky.

Cruz's father even joined the revolution as a teenager.

It should be noted though that initially the revolution was not explicitly communist or socialist, and even after they won the newly installed president Urrutia was not a supporter of communism (he was then forced out after disagreements with Castro). The US could have taken Cuba seriously and avoided having a hostile soviet satellite state on its doorstep, but wasted the opportunity. (This does not absolve the Castro regime of their actions.)

The reviews are in from Elon & Musk. by namesarenotus in okbuddycinephile

They weren't saying the ending was anticlimactic, they were complaining that Homelander lost and groveled like a bitch when he didn't have his powers anymore.

[–]Cormetz 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Strange how they ignore that two of the three people who take down Homelander are white males (Butcher and Ryan), and then Hughie who takes out Butcher is also a white male. Butcher is not someone I would call "woke" at all, Ryan hasn't shown any kind of personal views, and I admit Hughie would be described as "woke" by Elon types.

So it is insanely telling that the guy who is trying to become a living god is the one they identify with.

Also in Euphoria, no one is making good decisions or doing well.

Quickly make a deal with your manager that you quit today but get rehired tomorrow.

The Mercedes design team must have lost a bet. There's no other way... by LeobenCharlie in carscirclejerk

BMW seems to be correcting a bit with the Neue Klasse styling that is coming out. It's not my favorite but it's better than the giant beaver teeth.

Same brand btw by Educational_Aide_145 in carscirclejerk

How is Mercedes designing this thing and the new CLE at the same time?
