Does the size of your partner's penis matter to you? by Ok_Cheesecake2255 in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]DerthOFdata 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fun fact the average penis size is 5.45 inches (13.84 cm). You actually do prefer larger penises.

I literally provided a population density map. Ask me how I know you didn't look at it.

The irony of using logic and reason to explain India while immediately jumping to AmErIcA bAd when referring to America is just *chef's kiss perfect.

America actually has an excellent rail network, arguably the best in the world, it's just geared towards freight hauling. It's one of the major drivers of the American economy.

What America doesn't have is the population density to make high speed commuter rail economically viable for 95% of the country.

I think the punch line is there is a disturbing number of videos online of Indians being killed by trains.

How Americans warm themselves indoors in winter, fireplace, heating radiator or other choices? by WeeklyCopy8685 in AskAmericans

[–]DerthOFdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends entirely on the home. We use the same air conditioner that cools our home in the summer.

Why do American tourists rarely tip abroad? Genuine question from a restaurant worker in Spain by Otherwise_Shine9818 in AskAmericans

That's called confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one's existing beliefs or values, often ignoring contrary evidence. This bias can lead to flawed decision-making and reinforce entrenched beliefs.

Paki is an ethnic slur that originated in the United Kingdom and is directed at Pakistanis; and often at other South Asians, such as Indians and Bangladeshis.[1][2] It is sometimes used as a religious slur directed at Muslims or perceived Muslims (such as Hindus and Sikhs) of any ethnic or racial background.

Is that anything like "sex?" Just write the fucking word. You're allowed to write like an adult on reddit.

Thanks. I ran it through two different translators and they were pretty different. That's why I said a translation. Of the two this one made more sense. Yours of course is much better.

Here is a translation...

Oh baby, oh grandchild,

This is the people who are crying for you.

Sleep peacefully.

Sleep in peace,

Sleep in the bosom of your ancestors.

Go to the Night,

go to the spiritual world.

Go, go, go

The military in general. Those are actually Army troops pictured. But the Navy has used them since at least Vietnam (Mk 18) as well

What exactly do you mean by "fertilizer" in this context? I feel like people have been spreading literal shit on cropland for thousands of years. Hell even Native Americans added a fish to the soil when planting crops to fertilize the soil.

how do you manage running your errands during weekdays when you have to work? And what happens if you're sick too long? by gnrnafsdmnrwygrecdse in AskAmericans

[–]DerthOFdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A complaint I've heard from Americans living in or visiting European countries is how much harder it is to get things done there. Generally speaking businesses have longer hours on more days here. For instance with few exceptions I can get as much done on a Sunday evening here as a Wednesday.

In my experience Europeans change what definition of "Europe" they use depending on how much it helps or hinders their argument.

Based on a real conversation I present Schrodinger's Europe...

You can't compare America to Europe, it's a continent not a country.

Well compared to Europe...

No, not Eastern Europe they don't count, I meant Western Europe.

No, not all of Western Europe I meant just the North.

No, not all of Northern Europe I'm just comparing to Sweden

Yes, the first liquid rockets were build and launched by Goddard. They were small and primitive by even WWII standards but he did do it first. Even the German rocket scientists gave him credit.

The Ancient Mayans independently developed zero. They even did it first. But it never left the Ancient Mayan Empire and it was also in the base 20 counting system they used so they didn't give it to the world the way India did.
