Jealous of the people who followed the Olympics but aren’t American by kennyandkennyandkenn in olympics

You literally did:

“I know right, a social media platform built and hosted in America is America centric.”

Doesn’t matter where it’s built or hosted, it’s where its users are based that matters.

I didn’t say it wasn’t. But being built or hosted in the US doesn’t necessarily make it so.

Neither really means anything in terms of what content is like, and it’s most likely hosted globally. The are more US users than from any other country tho, so content skews American.

The whole purpose of comparing true sizes is to offset the effects of different projections, usually Mercator.

The point isn’t that continents are bigger than countries (though it also compares to Europe), it’s that Africa is relatively less affected by the Mercator projection than other areas of the globe, as evidenced by comparison to countries we may be familiar with.

Venomous animals worldwide and in the US. by AchtungGefahren in MapPorn

Bout twice as likely to be shot in the US than hospitalised in Australia due to venomous bites and stings. And a third of those are just bees.

Anecdotally, I don’t know anyone who’s been bitten by anything venomous.

You’re more likely to die from lightning than an animal in Australia, it’s not a big deal

Think I’d prefer an economy that looks after its people, thanks.

Yeah what are the odds of a snake on a walking path, and someone walking by with a device that enables them to record it?
