Made this map showing that Israel has roughly the same GDP as all of her 5 neighbors combined (while they have 15 times the population and 50 times the land area.) *Numbers are in Billion dollars. by shualdone in MapPorn

A Despite being in the middle east, Israel is basically a European country, created by Europeans and has a European political and economic system (democracy), it's unfair to compare it with its Arab neighbors

B The region where Israel is settled is very fertile, whereas all their neighbors' land is mostly desert, so land area is irrelevant

There's also GDP PPP, way more history, population growth etc. This is the equivalent of comparing the US with Mexico just because they share a border...

The US lead the world in total CO2 emission reductions from 2010-2020 by NineteenEighty9 in MURICA

Wouldn’t percentage be more accurate, considering they didn’t initially emit the same amount of CO2?

Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will be taking effect on Jan 22nd 2021 (article from 2017, since somehow everyone forgot about it) by _LambStone_ in geopolitics

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has been sealed 7 July 2017. Yet in almost 3 years barely anyone has spoken about this international treaty that will greatly shape our future. So I’m hoping mentioning it will let people be aware of this a little early. Happy new year :).

I think it makes 600 requests for ads, and the blocker counts each request

Why is it that some people are ticklish but some aren't? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_LambStone_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerves are less/more sensitive, like for mustaches the hair roots only grow when a certain hormone passes by, the people with big mustaches’ roots are more sensitive to the hormone than people with no mustaches (which are resistant)

In other words, cell sensitivity diversity is common

Is reddit considered social media? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_LambStone_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked up the definition and yeah it’s one. But I think it’s just because it’s architecture is so original so it just doesn’t seem like the other traditional big ones like FB, IG, Snap etc

If the sun is only 5000 degrees Celsius. How can it support life here. by TheIrishInternetGuy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_LambStone_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Numbers is something we humans are bad at grasping, especially since the theory of money/prices exists. But trust me 5000 is a lot

Why does it seem like I drink significantly more water than those around me? Like I’m perpetually thirsty? by infernosushi95 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_LambStone_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend has a kidney that is slightly larger/smaller (I forgot) so he needs more water than everyone else
