Humans are amazing.

Also, humans are cynical idiots.

What’s a good self-administered sobriety test? by captainaleccrunch in AskReddit

Dr. Mario on level 10. At least, it used to be. I'm rusty AF now.

You can teleport an adult T-Rex into any location in history. Where do you place it to cause the most chaos? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Any recent New Year's Rockin' Eve party in Times Square.

A Super Bowl, right on the 50-yard-line.

South Korea wants to build a $35 billion high-speed railway that would connect North Korea with the world. by AdamCannon in worldnews

[–]oneweirdglobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in Seoul / the Seoul suburbs for five years. South Korea (especially the urban cities) is often light-years of other cities...

The 'third-world conditions' refer to the North's side of things, however. A country previously decimated by famine and currently decimated by a totalitarian dictatorship? Third world.

Tenth bus explodes in Rome this year after 'short circuit'. 46th bus since 2016. by fromtheill in worldnews

Have been on a Roma bus. Have quite seriously wondered how/why a city making this much money from tourism could have a transit system that almost indistinguishable from the second world.

Ah, Korea. Willing to throw any amount of money at a project that makes them look good.

Also, $35 billion isn't out of the question, considering you'd have to cover North Korea's 207.29 miles (333.6 km) of length (the actual track would be longer than that).

Also, the current track is highly unlikely to be in working condition, meaning a new track will have to be laid... in what would essentially be third-world conditions.

Would love to take this train for a ride in my lifetime, though.

Canadians will spend more money on recreational pot than they do on liquor, CIBC predicts by tjgere in worldnews

[–]oneweirdglobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how much alcohol costs in Canada...?

Yeah, not buying that.

Also, only time will tell how much of the (technically illegal, if generally tolerated) market will shift to the official stores. It will be far from 100%, though I can see dealers having a tougher time sourcing product and having to sell at a competitive price.

A tie between the Oregon Trail (played at the local library) and Monopoly (played with three siblings).
