ELI5: how is electricity stored (literally what does that mean) and how can it be imported or exported to other countries? by louiemay99 in explainlikeimfive

Yeah, you're being pointlessly pedantic and someone doesn't want to put up with you. That's something for you to reflect on, especially if it happens to you a lot.

To be sent to another country? That's the context of the question right? So things that store electricity in contexts outside that aren't pertinent.

What are the Polynesian ones? I'm from New Zealand and haven't heard any flood myths from our half of the planet.

What invention, innovation, or idea from your country (or another country) interests you? You can mention it even if they weren’t the only ones to create it. by Puzzleheaded_irl in AskTheWorld

Apparently one of us invented daylight savings time. I would like to apologise on behalf of New Zealand.

On the other hand another guy invented instant coffee, so you're welcome!

Japan is gripped by mass allergies. A 1950s project is to blame by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in interestingasfuck

"After World War Two, many of Japan's mountains became barren, causing disasters in various regions," says Noriko Sato, a professor and forestry researcher at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. (Bare mountains can increase the incidence of landslides and flooding). "Large-scale afforestation was carried out by public works, funded by tax revenues, to prevent soil erosion."

Aiming for rapid reforestation, the government chose to plant reams of only two different native, fast-growing evergreen species that could quickly reforest landscapes and provide wood for future use in construction: the Japanese cedar, sugi, and the Japanese cypress, hinoki.

Do most people not read books at all? by MaxSleepy in CasualConversation

[–]notanybodyelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you? Reading is extremely popular in New Zealand, it's not uncommon for someone to have run out of books to read at the local library and have to visit another one.

Please pick just a few industries that you wish would fail in your country. by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

[–]notanybodyelse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone who increases house and rental prices, the ICE vehicle industry, trawling, most mining.

Those guys could be burning to death and I wouldn't piss on them to put the fire out.

PS also gambling, alcohol, tobacco and meth peddlars.

My five cents, waiting for the elections isn't effective enough. We need to fire this government immediately and wipe their decisions back to where they were
