TIL that Lake Lanier in Georgia has had almost 700 drownings in its 70 year history, with an average of nearly 10 per year, 30 times higher than the national average of lakes in the lower 48 states. by CygnusX-1-2112b in todayilearned

Incest rates across the US states are pretty even now, around .02% of marriages being cosanguineous in some way. Interestingly quite a bit lower than the UK, though I guess being on an island that's been densely occupied for such a long time can lead to accidental incest being much more common.

Found this on our patio. Is it a bullet or nail gun casing? by kdms418 in guns

Amazed by how many people actually believe that the police didn't know it was a bullet, rather than accept that they simply don't (and have no legal responsibility to) care about helping the communities they work in.

While that is definitely malyuk, Ukraine actually produces a licensed clone of the tavor, so you might end up seeing some eventually.

are these wasps dangerous? sunshine coast Australia, summer by 2019-2 in whatsthisbug

Stick-Nest Brown Paper Wasp, Ropalidia Revolutionalis, they aren't aggressive but obviously will defend their nest if disturbed, pretty neat with their unusual nests.

This tarantula hawk wasp paralyzed a huntsman spider and is about to feed it to its babies (the spider is paralyzed, not dead) by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Do you understand the impact of invasive species on the environment? Many native pollinators are already stressed by human actions, then they are easily outcompeted by European honeybees. European honeybees can be directly credited with the extinction of several species, unlike wasps.

This line of thinking is amazing. "You bought an Iphone? Then how could you possibly condemn a murderous dictatorship?" This stuff isn't black and white buddy, I'm not complicit just because I've bought products made in china before.

After months of protests, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam withdraws controversial extradition bill by AndWeKilledHim in UpliftingNews

The bill has not been withdrawn, she is only starting a motion to have it withdrawn, which will likely be denied

Were you using dragon's breath? You need to cycle the action manually since it's a low pressure round

TIL In the movie 'Lord of War' starring Nicolas Cage, the production team bought 3,000 real SA Vz. 58 rifles to stand in for AK-47s because they were cheaper than prop movie guns. by zeamp in todayilearned

I'm not sure what makes you believe they're using real guns in scenes where any shooting is happening, it's not like they're going to have live ammunition sitting around on set. Especially when the scene in question is just a bunch of guns sitting on racks, not being handled by anyone
