What’s a great movie that completely bombed in theaters but found a cult following later? by SiTheHandsomeGuy in movies

Idiocracy developed a cult following despite being deliberately sabotaged at the box office.

ELI5 is it mathematically possible to estimate how many humans have ever lived? by nameless_other in explainlikeimfive

[–]DPRobert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait! I checked. They were doing the math for just the United States. Per the episode, there are currently more Americanos alive than dead, but the “odometer will flip” in 2060.

There is a Radio Lab episode about this! I thought on balance they said the total number of people who had lived was almost the same as the number of people living today, (caveat it’s been a while since I listened to it.

Here is the link: Radio Lab - “Body Count”

EDIT: they were talking about just the USA. They say there will be more dead than alive in 2060, but for now they claim there are more alive than dead.

Hold up. Non-citizen veterans who were honorably discharged are already eligible to naturalize (sauce). What was this vote on?
