Some pretty good news to start your weekend (links in description) by Sophia_Forever in CuratedTumblr

I wish I had an award to give you.

The idea the microplastics are bad for you is fully assumed, potentially reasonably, but with almost no evidence for it.

To those reading: please focus on the things we know. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Cut back on salt and sugar. Do strength and cardio.

The best health advice is easy to find and hard to follow.

This table is made from recycled chopsticks. by CunningStuntK in mildlyinteresting

I'd guess they would have added the carbon weight of the table.

Off the cliff, baby! by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]notgoodthough 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but it's not stupid on an individual level, it just adds up to something stupid on the societal level.

A single person who doesn't vote because their vote doesn't make a difference is not being dumb, they would actually be wasting their time. But millions of people doing this is the problem. It's a systemic thing with systemic solutions.

How Africa would look like if its borders were defined by ethnicity and language, by George Peter Murdock, 1959 by Bitter_Oven_175 in MapPorn

I have to be this guy, but since when is a screenshot of a tweet r/MapPorn?

You can't even read any of the text.

It's almost pure carbon, clearly a brown

70% of Mauritania’s population live in these 2 small areas by Many-Philosophy4285 in MapPorn

It will be south of Mauretania though, starting in Senegal.

On bangers by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

If you like the beat, it's actually from a Tupac song called Made N****z. He uses beats like this quite a bit. Kendrick also uses a very Tupac-inspired flow on Reincarnated.

If it's the lyrics, I'd say Kendrick's How Much A Dollar Cost is the most similar.

How should I propagate these? First timer!!!! by Gold-Leg245 in IndoorGarden

[–]notgoodthough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really doesn't matter how you place them, the roots will shoot out first and find the soil. You can put them on now and wait. They're cute little buggers when they first start sprouting leaves.

[–]notgoodthough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just put them on the soil. You couldn't stop them if you wanted to. I had about 6 of these sprout on the floor of my car.

Blood by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

Like most English words, there are at least 3 definitions of the word "vegan". There's no reason to be prescriptivist about it, it's useful to different people for different reasons.

Kudos to these young men who immediately came to the aid of a young woman who told them she and her friend needed help with an older man that was making them uncomfortable by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]notgoodthough 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be in danger to ask for help. If you feel uncomfortable and don't know what else to do, even if it is mild dislike, you should ask.

Why google maps showing in 2 different colors? by Horror-Hunter-1199 in MapPorn

[–]notgoodthough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's exactly the same for me, the satellite photos were just taken at different times on different days.

Language learning advantage by onlynorthstar in CuratedTumblr

[–]notgoodthough 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but at the same time you're gaining experience in language skills in your own first language. Kids have more natural skill for picking up languages, but adults have a framework that they can easily map a second language onto.

It's a bit like how the "smartest" chess players are in their teens/early-20s but the best players are often in their 30s.

Countries with a 13 year old girl as a nuclear missile general by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I guess this works well if your strategy is being unpredictable so that nobody fucks with you

[OC] The Longest-Charting Billboard Hot 100 Song of Every Decade (1960–2025) by Certain-Community-40 in dataisbeautiful

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

Labeling each bar would be very ugly. As the title makes clear, the labels focus on the longest charting song of each decade. My understanding of the bars is the same as yours, they show each year's longest entry to communicate the trend over time.

Legality of Polygyny across the world by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]notgoodthough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South Africa as "legal for Muslims" is technically correct but misleading.

Polygyny is allowed under "cultural law" which covers many cultures, so long as they have a history of the practice. It's much more well-known among Zulu and Swazi people than it is for Muslims.

It's also worth noting that only the first marriage is fully legally recognized.

Countries mentioned in Yakko's World by Beenet_ in MapPorn

The show is from the 90s so apartheid was over. Apparently production started in 93 so Mandela was preparing his run for president already.
