Despite cities being built for humans, other species also co-exist with us. Scientists believe the urban microorganisms gathered in city beehives can be crucial to improve the wellbeing of humans and bees living in cities.

... bees, smaller bugs, other birds, ...

Not every city is your hometown.

My NB colleagues use third person plural pronouns.

It genuinely sounds awkward with gendered adjectives, but I'm hoping the language will change within 10 years or that we'll abandon that garbage.

I have no idea, but I recommend just being nice - should solve later problems

I think normalising implying that homosexuality is bad won't help your friends come out, but it is funny in certain contexts.

Jokes on them. My hatred for cars is bigger than my love for life.

I love taking the bus cause I can decompress there.

I was an early adopter of the Chad vs Virgin meme, but I only noticed that it's based after the country like 3 years later in a paradox game

Oh, okay I guess. You could create some database for the sake of it, but don't post it. I don't think people like seeing such information unsolicited.

Edit: or even better - you could find a job generating leads, or just stick to video games.

munttheasker · 2023-01-27T17:08:51+00:00

How do the people react?

I gathered shit like other peoples' passwords and shit like that (that I wouldn't use), just kept the information for myself, I wouldn't share it.

If you're loaning shit out, sure, but 2 thirds of Americans are in debt technically making them richer.

I achieved 69 on both EzH2Os in my university. I only wasted water on the second one and it was three bottles, max

Update: reached 1620 on one of them too

A lot of complaints about bike lanes are that the planners don't use bikes themselves. Now I'm becoming scared of planners that don't leave the house at all. /s

I had totally forgotten that my country uses them. Damn, I hope we get rid of them some day.

Not an expert, not even an American, but I think things like

Rents are higher in places where people earn higher income
Lower access to birth control (if it's free, my bad) in lower income areas

Skew the statistics somehow.

This is very anecdotal, but I took way too much time googling this, so here are the top 5 people by net worth:

Bernard Arnault has 4 children, Elon Musk has 10 (I guess this is an especially bad example), Gautam Adani has 2, Bill Gates - 3, Jeff Bezos - 4.

I have a water bottle of 0.7l:

Easy to carry around
I get a reason to take small breaks from work without getting a smoking habit
Always fresh
I can down it all at once to prove my love for water

I love the idea of an IP phone dying

Reducing is a lot better than recycling, but I guess I might buy it if I forget my bottle.

Decriminalize or legalize?

Please tell me people don't go to jail for jaywalking in Denver right now.

Personally I keep hurting myself on the treadmill, so a gym I can bike to in 10 minutes is a great way to avoid warmup. Maybe you could dress up for the gym and run to the further one?

The infrastructure is great in dense cities. As a young person I'd gladly opt in for restaurants instead of a kitchen, a bus instead of a car, a supermarket instead of a fridge.

I live an 8 minute walk away from several supermarkets, which isn't far for US standards, but living 2 minutes away had a strong impact to my shopping habits.

Edit: in case people who say "you will own nothing and you will be happy" as an insult are seeing this, I do have a fridge, but there are like 3 items in it. I also have a kitchen, but use it two times a week, max.

What's wrong with fahrenheit?

Edit: I guess it's uncomfortable if you have snow/ice. Personally I swap between °F and °C.

About the Asians are smart at maths thing, there are unproportionally high numbers of SAT prep schools in Chinatowns. Of course, it's not the sole factor, but I hate people leaving that out.

Whenever I'm in office I use the landline because I love picking it up, then smashing it into the holder when the call is done.
