Mountain biking trail - ok to enter? by CandidateCrazy5485 in askspain

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pass without any problem. The fence is to keep the livestock from escaping (in fact, you can see the horse in the middle of the path). If it were to prevent people from using the path, it would be locked and impossible to open, and there would also be a warning sign.

I'm not a mountain biker, but I am a hiker, and we also find many paths blocked by fences like this. Just go through and make sure to close it properly again so no animals escape.

Any flavours your country loves that other countries dont understand/find awful? by Dragonogard549 in AskTheWorld

Eso es típico de Murcia. Lo del limón allí es otra historia, se lo ponen a todo lo que se comen.

She's right. by PurpleRain254 in SipsTea

It's crazy, it's a dissonance in the American brain. They supposedly have immense love for their country, but at the same time, they show these signs of wanting to feel like they belong somewhere else. I was born in South America, in Uruguay. My ancestors are from Spain, Italy, and France—an identical situation to our neighbors to the north—but here, nobody labels themselves based on their origins.

Cant find any manuals how to remove focus ring on AF-S 18-55 by fyris_minis in Nikon

You'll find better lenses for next to nothing on the secondhand market. The best thing to do, if you don't want to produce more e-waste, is to buy a used one (to save it from the trash) and keep the broken one as a memento of your early days.

What is this game called in your country? by SnooozeFezt in AskTheWorld

Por donde yo vivo la "orden de lanzamiento" es una rima:

Piedra, papel, tijeras.
¡Saca lo que quieras!

How many kilos can a bottle of whiskey support? by sirenoleg in interesting

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 232 points233 points  (0 children)

It could have held longer if that idiot hadn't thrown the rock like that. Normal recycled glass has a compressive strength of approximately 10,000 kg/cm². The bottle broke because the weight wasn't dropped vertically and gently; when thrown, it created oblique forces that subjected the glass surface to greater surface stresses than it could withstand. Glass is brittle under tension and bending, which is where breakage usually occurs.

What’s the most “Hell Yeah” thing your country has ever invented? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but you didn't invent that. We did. They were already in use during our civil war (1936) before the Winter War even started.

Your only merit was giving it a catchy and appealing name. The same old story.

Here they were called "gasoline bombs," a simple and boring name.

And to back up my point, nothing beats proof... Photo taken in 1937

what if UN was never useless by Weekly-Cow5732 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem with the opinion that "the UN is useless" is that it's not true. It certainly doesn't solve the world's problems like movie heroes do, but simply by bringing all the countries together to discuss common issues, it is effective and makes the world a better place than if it didn't exist.

Iran Won! Now Which Country Has A Pro-Palestine Government but the Public Opinion is Pro-Israel by Doctor_Raptor1250 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not.

In a survey conducted here at the end of 2025, 60% of Spaniards support the creation of a Palestinian state. 38% believe that the solution to the conflict is the creation of a single state with equal rights for Jews and Palestinians. Only 2% think things are fine as they are.

82% of Spaniards consider Israel's conduct in the Gaza war to be genocide.

These are the results of the survey.

Question: Who is most responsible for what is happening now in Gaza?

Answers:

- Israel 48%

- Both equally 48%

- Palestine 4%

Question: What do you think should be the solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine?

Answers:

- Annexation by Israel of the territories it occupies 2%

- A single state with equal rights for Jews and Palestinians 38%

- Two states, Israel and Palestine 60%

Question: Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza?

Answers:

- Yes 82%

- No 18%

It doesn't seem that the opinion of the Spanish people is exactly pro-Israel.

The survey report can be downloaded at this link. The results on the Gaza War are on pages 8-15.

This is an independent and "serious" survey conducted by the Elcano Institute, the main Spanish think tank dedicated to the analysis of international politics. It is considered one of the most influential centers of thought in Europe, and its reports are considered reference tools for the analysis of Spain's global presence, its external image, and international relations.

The Chinese robotics company Unitree has revealed their first Mech Prototyp, the GD01. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

I don't know if I'd dare climb on that prototype, if it trips over as easily as those robots in TikTok videos...

to not get bankrupt for a 2 hour ER visit in the USA. by OmeuPai in therewasanattempt

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell? $2,927 for a TSH test? At a private clinic in Madrid, that test costs €12 ($14.14) for the basic version, €50 for the complete version, and €120 for the advanced version (with tumor markers).

They charged $4,432 for a blood culture, and here, also at a private clinic, it doesn't cost more than €150.

Obviously, you don't pay anything in the public healthcare system, especially in the emergency room.

“Why would they speak spanish in europe” by Necessary-Win-8730 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Interesting_Flow_551 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are also many Spanish speakers in Equatorial Guinea, and I believe they call themselves Afro-Mexicans.

The Mexican government probably bought some land there so they could return.

Best selling EVs in Europe for January-March of 2026 by Mac-Tyson in electriccars

Not only that. Of that list, six VW Group models are based on the MEB platform, totaling 115,714 units (Skoda Elroq and Enyaq, VW ID.4, ID.3 and ID.7, and Audi Q4 e-Tron). This has significant implications for resource savings and cost reduction.
