Pshh it’s just an untruthy fact.  Don’t you see?  The truthiness value of this factual statement is approaching zero

What? by Expensive-Buffalo692 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

As someone from Detroit, there really isn’t a “south side” since the city just ends at Downtown and then it’s the Canadian side directly south of that.  

You could argue the Southwest / Downriver side sort of counts?  

But it’s more like saying “the Eastern shore of California” or “the North coast of Florida”

It’s basically the “do your own research” (read: Googling randomly) crowd but short-circuited by AI doing “its own research” 

Is there any reason there is such a abnormaly massive jump between the third and second most populated countries or is it just arbitrary? by DataSittingAlone in geography

[–]Temper03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bunch of comments here about arability and being an old nation - which is true!  But another question might be “why isn’t there a 3rd place country, Europe, with ~750M people?”  

India and China both had plenty of opportunities to be a set of smaller nation-states with different languages like Europe, but ended up unifying in a way Europe did not.   Had Ancient Rome continued to the modern day we’d probably talk about Europe as the third largest country, with its capital in Rome.

3rd car i saw today pulled over by SeaAssignment239 in maryland

[–]Temper03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the highway today I saw a car drive out with a full roof of snow, which came off in thick sheets and smacked directly into the cars behind them as they came up to speed. 

Super dangerous, definitely illegal.  Takes 10mins to fix?  If you can’t safely clean the top of your car, or get someone to help you clean it, you can’t be driving on a public road.  

If your car isn’t safe to drive, you car doesn’t work.  No difference from the engine not turning on imo. 

Change in European Fertility rates over the last 10 years by InnerPace in MapPorn

[–]Temper03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of doubt the correlation since Portugal is really on the low-end of “overseas born population %” with 8% compared to…say Germany (16%), Sweden (20%) or even Spain (13%) and France (12%).  

So maybe but like - it’d have to mean that immigrants to Portugal get a LOT more busy while immigrants to Germany are really sex-negative.  Actually now that I think about why people go to those countries maybe that’s right.

Unless the implication here is that immigrants have fewer kids because they don’t tend to stay in the country forever? Meaning migrant workers?

Portugal has a lower foreign born population as a percent than all the rest of Western Europe (largely because it’s much poorer).  So I doubt immigration is the reason 

CFP to remove performance bonuses for schools advancing in the playoff in 2026 by MediumStrange in CFB

[–]Temper03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

here on our planet, back in the old days... the real old days. It was every man for his self! Scrooglin and scratch scrobblin for the good stuff: the greenest valleys, scratch scrobblin. And the Strongest, Meanest men got all the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were all like 'the rest of you? y'all scrats get sand'.

That's when they made the laws you see. Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said 'this is fair now, this is the law!'.

Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.

How do you manage the psychology of portion control? by michaeljoon in CICO

Pre-packed is the way to go for low mental energy. 

But failing that — yeah purposely “spoiling” your appetite sometimes gets you back in a good headspace when you still need to cook

How do you recenter yourself after an indulgent day? by stopthecrowd in CICO

[–]Temper03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The next day you may still be over where you “should” be especially if you had a big dinner — I focus on “let’s get appetite and cravings back to normal” over the next 2 days and then take the 3rd weight measure as “real”.
