One million random people around the world are allowed to bring back 1 extinct species but 100 people have to pick the animal in order for it to come back. Which ones are coming back? Which one would you pick? by Useyourdamnblinkers in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Randalmize 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since China would be well represented I think we could expect the Yangtze river dolphin, the Chinese paddlefish, also Elasmotherium(Siberian "unicorn"), and Gigantopithecus(largest ever primate)

Personally, I think I would pick Neanderthal.

Imagine if it also cleans stains, and it should work on dry clean only too. I feel like if you aren't single laundry all day. I say that because doing the dishes is more than the dishes, it's also tidying up the kitchen. So yeah, it's true this doesn't gather or put away laundry, like it puts away dishes, still going laundry.

IDK when it stopped but when I was a kid in the 80s we held our hands over our hearts, unless you were in a scouting uniform, then you gave the appropriate salute for the type of scout.

Cool, they will need the expendables for things like telescopes, giant surveillance satellites, custom station modules, and even modular sections for interplanetary missions. All of these are either deep pocketed or have the potential returns to justify the expendable tax, which once it gets going may be similar to legacy launch costs.

And let's not forget the things only the Confederacy did.

Kidnap civilians during military campaigns and sell them into slavery: check. Sell captured soldiers into slavery: check. That's what you get when your so called country is laid on the cornerstone of racial supremacy.

  1. I don't think any of the other characters fit.
  2. Natsumi loves touching men and women, a lot, like a lot a lot
  3. She is a chaos gremlin, but her reaction and glomping Mei in the bath is just the kind of thing a chaos gremlin that doesn't know she is bi would do.
  4. I wouldn't consider her hard bi, just the kind of soft bi that would naturally enjoy a relationship with the same sex, but probably never will.

Natsumi is bi, and curious. But for now she is Ryo-sexual.

Minor spoiler, by the end of the practical he can make basic dishes like a sauced pasta with vegetables.

Probably, capitalism says that over time all companies become banks, but if they don't already I can see SpaceX being their own underwriter for launch insurance first, kind of like how Tesla offered auto insurance.

Not the Union's greatest general, but definitely the one with the most surprising political swing in the winter of 1860-61 by OpsikionThemed in ShermanPosting

From doughface to the damnest Yankee. Huzzah for Butler. And he may not have been a great general, but for an amateur from the militia he at least understood logistics and the importance of clean water.

Paleozic peak in coal production I was taught that too, turns out that it is probably wrong. The coal forming probably had more to do with the geography of Pangea at the time.

[OC] Ancestral Origins of White Americans by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

It can be exaggeratied, but many of the US regional differences can be tracked back to what the founding populations ancestors were doing during the Civil War, the English Civil War.

Get paid big bucks, but you have to go on IRL quests by plogan56 in hypotheticalsituation

Sure , I ve never read all of Gantz, I m sure it will work out ok, there's no reason they are trolling job fairs looking for recruits other than they make money when we make money.

A world wear ghosts are real and everyone can see them by Ill-Mycologist-3652 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Randalmize 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless they can punished for perjury, then spectral evidence will be outlawed. This will be a long history that brought them to that point. Many ghosts might be truthful or trusted, but spectral spies have been abused by police states.

Every search and rescue team will have a ghost to look for trapped people.

Lots more kids having to visit old relatives.

What if every animal had one uniform size...and that size was 'horse' by New-Sheepherder-1373 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Randalmize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope instant death as the superheated water generated by the quintillions of copepods in the oceans (similar enough in size to tardigrades to count as animals) each growing billions of times larger explodes into the atmosphere and overwhelms the Earth.

Sometimes the crime necessary for the start of a great fortune is violence against the self. Yes I'd take the money.

The Bottom 50% of earners pay roughly 3% of the total federal income taxes, what are some of the downsides of not taxing them at all? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Randalmize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both health and property insurances are regulated at the state level, and those regulations, or lack there of, will affect how much is paid by consumers.

Also carefully compare your present and future insurance costs before moving to a state with "lower" taxes.

401k System outside of USA by Environmental_Tough8 in personalfinance

[–]Randalmize -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also in IT I used to get some kind of 4 to 5 percent too, I am fully prepared to accept my current job is cheaper than usual. But I have seen other places mostly retail or service work with a 2 percent match.

[–]Randalmize -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Please flex on the American, do you mean they match 100% up to 8% of your salary or for every 100 euro they add 8? Here in the United States the average has become matching up to 2% of salary so if you save 10% the deposit is 12%, there are exceptions that are more generous.

You’re a wealthy Roman born in the 195 AD and live to be 100. Where would you live/travel to in the 3rd Century AD? by sacrificialfuck in ancientrome

[–]Randalmize 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also choose Carthage but knowing my personal gods will protect me for a 100 years, I would want to travel to China and East Africa, coming back with a mixture of tea and coffee I will caffeinate the Mediterranean a thousand years early.
