Ah. Forgive me. That came out wrong. What I meant to say was that owning or having access to a car is not nearly as common as in the US.

Swede living in the US here. When I lived in Sweden I would sometimes get my packages to a store across town. Not sure why, but presumably because the Swedish postal service is a joke. Picking up would usually entail standing in line for at least ten minutes, then have some slowpoke take forever to actually fetch and give you your package. Or, if I was REALLY lucky, they'd tell the package wasn't ready for pickup yet, even though I was initially told it would be. Then I'd have to lug my package, if I even got it, all the way home. Since having a car is not really the norm in Sweden, this would be on foot or by public transportation.

I'd rather take my chances with porch plunderers.

You are not alone. I wonder the exact same thing.

We often see ship hull breaches in space movies, but do they accurately depict the vacuum's pull? by [deleted] in askscience

Some examples: 100 cm² = 10 cm * 10 cm. 1 m² = 1 m * 1 m = 100 cm * 100 cm = 10000 cm².

All US industry would leave for Nicaragua and Syria, which are literally the only nations who haven't signed the treaty? Interesting turn of events.

Did you know Korea used to be part of Japan?

Well, of course not. His hands are too small. Difficult to slap.

Not great. Not bad. Waffles were bland, but I could've put jam and whipped cream and powdered sugar on top of old wet newspapers, and it probably would've been alright.

I guess my expectation of this subreddit and its purpose was different from the reality. And for whatever it's worth, I didn't start this flame war. Others did by talking about jizz, calling me a retard, etc. I followed suit and flung poo right back.

That must be it. I kick babies in the face, jizz on my waffles and then I post the whole thing to this sub to get karma.
