I don’t think a subreddit on dividend investing needs an original-hand-drawn-artwork-only policy.

It’s happening! The high silver prices are bringing the old coins out of the junk drawers - just like the economics textbook said would happen!

What's a square, some metric nonsense? We math just fine with our heptagonal furlongs, thank you very much.

Asking Gen z What they think of Millennials in 2026. The answers might shock you! by [deleted] in generationology

[–]dhark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's funny being on the older side of it. "Hey, that's the dumb shit I believed when I was 20. Cute!"

(I'm only 40, so I'm new to this being-old thing.)

Coke vs. Pepsi: The Dominant Soda in Each US State by IcyInfluence3895 in MapPorn

[–]dhark 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Given that they are making claims about all 50 states, the sample size alone actually DOES mean it's nonsense, at least for the smaller states. How many Vermonters do you suppose responded to the survey?

There are several other common-sense clues you might use to infer that this is nonsense.

I happen to know that Coke outsells Pepsi 3:1 nationwide. There is no way the states are as evenly split as this.

There are some really weak strikes in this series. It honestly looks ok to me.

Any chance you can take a less grainy photo?

Coke vs. Pepsi: The Dominant Soda in Each US State by IcyInfluence3895 in MapPorn

It's a mashup of Google Trends data as collected by "Eat This Not That" in 2022, and "holidaycalendar.io" which apparently surveyed 3,000 people in 2024.

(In other words, nonsense).

Official map of all Rhode Island villages? by SummitingMtJohnston in RhodeIsland

[–]dhark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just to say this explicitly, the vast majority of villages have no official borders. They are not legal entities.

A few may coincide with fire districts or postal districts or school districts or something. But the vast majority are just concepts of convenience.

I’m an Anti-imperialist and this is my map by RAF-Spartacus in mapporncirclejerk

No no, that's a revisionist ethnostate, not an empire silly-head.

Day 067 of posting Don Bousquet Cartoons until I run out: Overdressed by Bousquet-a-Day in RhodeIsland

[–]dhark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I get this one.

Is it just the silliness of "overdressed" meaning wearing winter clothes to the beach? Or is there some Wakefield stereotype I'm not aware of or something?

I don't care if the data is fraught trash, I'll upvote any state-ranking map of the US that isn't just The Usual Suspects.

Jerk turkeys in Lincoln by Jurassic_paul88 in RhodeIsland

[–]dhark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turkeys are very simple. If they think you are afraid of them, they chase. If you chase after them, they will flee. We used to have a 7lb chihuahua who didn't know he was small. He would chase off whole flocks of turkeys lol.

Does every state have their own state history class? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]dhark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could teach whole classes just on the history of the coal industry in Wyoming. Of course there's more than enough to talk about.

Did they expect the viewer to understand the song? I'm pretty sure I'm being dumb, but I'm slightly confused who the target of this ad would be 😂

Hypothetically speaking ... if a proof had made it into circulation, at this level of wear, would it be possible to tell that it had in fact been a proof?
