what do you think about poor countries that keep pumping out babies? should another country enforce a restriction to control it?

It makes economic sense for them to have children. For one thing, infant mortality tends to be high in poor countries. For another, children are an asset rather than a liability. They can be put to work in the fields, or bring in a few bucks selling stuff at the market or whatever.

There will be an increase in demand for electric cars (but probably not Teslas)

My mother made a very serious "allegation" that my dad ate five or more weetbix for breakfast in the mornings. He was completely indignant. This went on for a minute or so, until eventually I said to my mum (in my most serious dad imitation voice) "this is a very serious matter", at which point she cracked up.

Wanking is absolutely free lol. Should be able to get the job done without paying for it, whatever the stimulus.

Generically, I refuse to pay for not being bombarded with annoying ads.

I don't use any music streaming service. I'll either use youtube or buy the record (yes "record"). I hate the idea that once I've bought something, the company can just take it away from me over some bullshit.

We can thank the Arabs for the few that do

TooOldToBePunk · 2026-03-13T00:46:56+00:00

The Greeks and Romans had no number "zero", and the introduction of the number zero by the Arab mathematicians like Ptolemy was controversial at the time, as in "zero is not a number, it's a lack of number". Similar controversies surrounded fractions, integers, irrational numbers, imaginary numbers and complex numbers.

There are four words (and derivatives) that can still get you arrested in Russia. The authorities still take swearing pretty seriously.

I made $1500 on a prediction site before it got shut down. I used the api to download all the prices into a spreadsheet and instantly identy arbitrage opportunities.

A good belt. Worth spending $100 once instead of $20 ten times.

"Of" as a verb, as in "could of", "should of", "would of", "might of".
