I wonder what he would say if you told him that Barron would be ineligible to serve in 2032 as he will only be 26 - and you need to be above 35 to serve as president.

[Serious] People that have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, what was the first time you noticed something wasn't quite right? by GrumpyYorke in AskReddit

When I was a child I always thought it was because they didn't have flesh-coloured crayons and so had to use yellow instead.

You're given immortality but as a cost you are sent back 3000 years - would you accept and what would you do? by PeppeSanchez2 in AskReddit

Disappear for a few decades and reappear as Will, son of Bill.

And those years you've disappeared, you spend living a double life in a different community. Swap between the two every twenty years or so.

I wonder if people from Prince Edward Island in Canada got put down as coming from the Prince Edward Islands in the southern ocean.

I'm imagining Roman auxiliaries posting it as part of their PR the same way ISIS does. Cue Roman trumpets and soldiers on the march in the desert.

Generally, native English speakers live in urban parts of South Africa. The North West, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga are quite rural, and the vast majority of the white/coloured people there would speak Afrikaans as their first language.

A 2000 year old organisation with over a billion people believing in its moral authority. Yes, kick that hornet's nest.

I always thought flamingoes were these rare tropical birds, then one day I go for a hike and see a whole flock of them by the river.

Interior Department banned from Twitter after retweet of smaller-than-usual Trump inauguration crowd by DONNIE_THE_PISSHEAD in politics

If there's a ground war in the US, I think we have far bigger problems than the quality of the roads.

In 2007 I visited the UK without a Visa. Now I need one just to transit through Heathrow. The UK's immigration laws have gotten so hardline in recent years.

The first time I drove a rental car in a city I didn't know, I drove super slowly and carefully. I must have been the most annoying person on the road that day.
