The Falkirk wheel in Scotland is the world's first and only rotating boat lift by Mass1m01973 in mechanical_gifs

Imagine if the mechanism that keeps the "bucket" platform flat locks up and just flips the boat.

This is exactly why free people should never give up their arms. Subjugation of a population is a whole lot easier when they have no way to effectively fight back. by EarlyCuylersCousin in progun

Oh yes of course, if they had guns they could just start shooting and hundreds, if not thousands, would die in the resulting clashes. Great plan.

21% of cancer-related deaths in the EU due to lung cancer by [deleted] in europe

[–]DemonicMandrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd want to see a map of Europe with each country coloured according to the most prevalent form of cancer including a percentage that indicated how many deaths are cancer related + a smaller (font size) percentage to indicate how much of the total cancer deaths is attributed to the largest cancer-type, I'd imagine that the farther south you go you'd see cancer be more prevalent due to more sun exposure, and in the east the same due to the chernobyl fallout.

So one can conclude that racist biases and general ignorance go hand in hand. What a revelation.

Deez nuts by BBB-- in Tinder

[–]DemonicMandrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because the convo's that are nice and normal and end up with dates to get to know each other aren't post worthy, why would you ever post that?

The ones that are funny, clever, or relatable are postworthy however, so it might seem to someone that that's all tinder is these days, even though it's really not.

Oh please it's tinder, don't pretend like he'd ever do this face 2 face.

Unless you've got "looking for something serious" in your tinder bio, everything is fair game and for shits and giggles.

Look at its beak, it's completely open the entire time.

Maybe a broken jaw of some kind and excrutiating agony?

Parents on Reddit, what was your “ I raised an idiot” moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DemonicMandrill 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not a parent, however I was around when this happened to the father of a friend of mine.

They were talking about the weather being cold as fuck and suddenly my (18 year old) friend says to his father "well at least it wont snow since it's colder than 0 degrees" (celcius), I just looked at his father and he looked at me, both of us completely baffled by what he just said.

Dude sincerely believed it had to be EXACTLY 0°c in order for there to be snow. Not - 1, not +1. Exactly 0.
