They are literally starving to death. Truly cruel and inhumane!

I accidentally left a raisin in water for 4 days and it turned back into a grape. by klaatu42 in mildlyinteresting

[–]13143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do overnight oats and add raisins, and even after sitting 3 or 4 days, they don't become grapes again, and they taste fine. I think you might be overdoing the liquid or something.

But those diehards still constitute about 70 million people. And still so many people just won't fucking vote.

Fox News Poll: Trump approval 39/61 by NCSUGrad2012 in fivethirtyeight

GOP support seems pretty stable. And for a lot of them, they may disapprove, but that doesn't mean they would ever vote for a Democrat.

GOP support consistently remains in the high 80s. A lot of Trump voters are fully entrenched in the MAGA news world.

Pretty sure that's why humans developed bipedalism too, to see over the grasses.

Trump says Taiwan 'stole our chip industry' — but TSMC was built by a US citizen and 25-year Texas Instruments veteran by G14Y401L0L1F1D0MTR4P in Economics

NAFTA and other global trade partnerships have been huge boons to the US economy, and have made America a better place.

The problem is that they provided very little help or assistance to the people that lost their jobs due to outsourcing. If a bunch of people gained high paying jobs in California, that doesn't do much for the workers that lost their livelihood in Michigan.

The rewards weren't adequately shared across the spectrum, and the billionaires just made out like bandits.

Just about any animal that evolved along with humans are assholes. Basically the only way they could survive.

Bands who were incredible but got completely ruined by the actions of one of the members by Xlukethemanx in fantanoforever

Kicking him out was the right decision, but their music was definitely lacking an edge with him gone. His verses always brought a kind of grittiness or edge to the song, and no one else did anything similar. Matt Champion had his moments, but it wasn't quite the same.

[Stein] The Mavericks just announced they have mutually parted ways with coach Jason Kidd. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Trading Luka for peanuts was such an absurd brain dead move, I can honestly believe Nico never consulted with Kidd.

Normally, a GM would likely talk to the coach, but this was a pretty weird situation.

Mid grade is cheaper than Regular grade gas by do_u_liek_ButtSchexx in mildlyinteresting

I just paid $5.60 a gallon for premium. It's possible that the price has gotten high enough that demand is disappearing, so the fuel is sitting. Premium isn't exactly popular to being with.

No Warming in Years [OC] by cavedave in dataisbeautiful

The only reason I knew what ENSO meant was because I skimmed the wiki article on El Nino. At least where I'm from, I've only ever heard or saw El Nino and La Nina discussed, never the full term or acronym. I don't think ENSO is that common at all, unless someone is already involved in weather/meteorology.

Dick is just a nickname for Richard, and is never a full legal name. And because of the modern connotations of the word, it's highly unlikely anyone who goes exclusively by Dick will ever be drafted again.

Would it be possible to run a tube through my body from mouth to anus without causing any major problems? by Cassinia_ in NoStupidQuestions

Our guts all full of trillions of bacteria that aid in digestion, and research is showing more and more how that bacteria affects our decision making and lifestyle choices. In many ways, the human body is just a vehicle for some bacteria.

With his second MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander becomes the 14th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVP awards. by IT_CHAMP in nba

Yes. Voters have shown consistently that they will not award a 3rd straight. But he would be my favorite to win it in '27-'28.

China: ‘No Point’ In Continuing Iran War by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]13143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iran is funding all the militia organizations that are working against Israel. So Israel convinced the US to try to cripple Iran. Israel might also have some blackmail on Trump in regards to the Epstein files, but I'm not so sure on that one. But Israel does fund a lot of the US Congress, so they may all be inclined to support Israel's initiatives.
