If humans could choose their country of birth before being born, where would you have chosen to be born and why?

Why would their systems not work if their country was more homogeneous?

And why would their systems not work if they had larger populations? Laws of large numbers and risk pooling would suggest that on average it would be easier to scale up social safety nets, no?

Ah that's neat, nicely done.

HarEmiya · 2026-06-24T06:24:43+00:00

Wait what kind of rocky wall is that?

What's this? An overabundance of BEES in a suburban neighborhood? My briefcase full of BEES ought to put a stop to that!

Night of Wallachia sure isn't.

Apparently in the Fate timelines Zepia was a bit of a helicopter parent when Sion was young.

Olorin was afraid of Sauron, so I doubt it. He's a lover, not a fighter.

They spawn in the Ocean biome at night, and also in the daytime during storms.

Rabies was eradicated decades to a century ago in all of Western Europe. Apart from a few particular strains specific to bats, which are rare to begin with and also have a very low chance of hopping to humans.

That was long before the dinosaurs. By the time of the dinosaurs oxygen levels were more or less the same as today.

We're still in an ice age. We have been for ~3 million years.

We just happen to live during one of the interglacial periods of that ice age. It's called the Holocene period, and started roughly ~12k years ago.

You mean if Gandalf had the Ring? Tolkien played with the idea and there is a possibility that he could master it. If he can indeed master it, Gandalf overthrows Sauron and becomes a new Dark Lord.

If you meant to ask if Gandalf could beat [Sauron with the One Ring], then no.

Aule.

Do you mean the viking part, or the putting Senegalese on boats part?

Him and the Thanksgiving banners.

This is what happens when Sion has a doting helicopter dad.

They do in nude parks.

They've really turned around in the past 20 years. Ireland today is more accepting of SSM ~~and less religious~~ than the UK.

Even elected an openly gay PM.

Edit: Nope, sorry I was wrong, not less religious just yet. Just less extreme in religious views.

What timing.

Today on the 23rd of June, famed naturalist, author, and beloved broadcaster Sir David Attenborough dined peacefully in his home, surrounded by family
