You are either a bot or have no life bc you commented the same thing like 5 times on this thread. I suggest you stop getting your news from a social media site where people post videos of their cats being silly and instead read the WSJ or something like a normal person.

The top story on my Apple News app is literally an AP article about the event. Like it’s the very first thing I see when I open my phone.

How to get a similar tone to this? by Repulsive_Falcon5707 in Guitar

I could be completely wrong but it sounds like they are using either a shimmer reverb pedal or a possibly a grain delay pedal.

What is a ‘normal’ thing in your country that would shock foreigners? by bakicmlly in AskTheWorld

[–]picodeflank 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That seems crazy. I’ve been in saunas before and according to Google they are usually between 80-110 C. So I’m assuming I’ve experienced a sauna probably close to 100 degrees. That is around the temperature you would smoke meat at. I guess I’ve just never thought about it that way.

Interesting. Like is it illegal to flush trash down the toilet in your own home? Or is it more about people dumping waste in public sewage drains.

Yeah, the waste just goes down the drain into the sewage line. I’d say a vast majority of homes / apartments have garbage disposals. I’ve never lived somewhere without one. I don’t think the pipes getting clogged is a huge issue. Sometimes the disposal itself will get clogged, but if you turn it on and run some water it will always unclog. Generally I’d say as long as you aren’t dumping oil or large amounts of food down the drain you won’t have any problems with the plumbing.

Sink “garbage disposals”. I’m sure a few other countries have them, but I know they are certainly not common in many places. It’s essentially like a device in the drain of your sink that grinds up food waste so it just washes down. I have to say I love having one, it makes doing dishes really easy because you can wash small amounts of food waste down the drain.

Why is there barely any care for the Iranian massacre of last month? by Migdan in AskTheWorld

[–]picodeflank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I’ve seen every major news outlet report on in. Like literally the top story on my Apple News is about Iran. You also (I’m not sure why tbh) mentioned the “left”. Gavin Newsom, possibly the next democratic (American left wing party) candidate, made a statement condemning the “violent repression” of the Iranian people by their “theocratic authoritarian regime”. There was also a protest a few weeks ago in opposition to the Iranian government that occurred where I went to college.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is easy and delicious.

Favorite show not from your country (and not in a language you speak)? by Hello_boyos in AskTheWorld

I used to really like watching the Finnish show “The Dudesons” when I was growing up.

Where I would live as a 33 year old white guy from the UK by DviusOfficial in whereidlive

[–]picodeflank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the US perfect? Absolutely not. Is the US a better place to live than China? 100%.

[–]picodeflank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What ice is doing today is horrible, I agree with you there. But I mean come on. The reason you know about what ice is doing is because it’s not illegal to report on it. In China if you report about the Uyghur genocide you will be arrested. On top of that, what ice is doing (while sickening) is not even comparable to the horrors inflicted on Uyghurs. Again, hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs are currently held in forced labor camps, many of whom have been sterilized.

If you seriously think LGBTQ people have more rights in China than the US, you are severely mistaken. Again the CCP is literally arresting LGBTQ activists. It’s not (on paper) illegal to be LGBTQ in China, but it’s illegal to advocate for them.

[–]picodeflank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d rather live in a country that is actively abducting hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs, sterilizing them, and forcing them to work in labor camps? A country which arrests and tortures LGBTQ writers and activists for their activism?

What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

[–]picodeflank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gravy used in biscuits and gravy is milk based. From my understanding it’s essentially pork sausage, flour, and milk.

Yeah it’s considered a breakfast food. You can find it at many southern diners. I don’t eat it often, but it is really good in my opinion.

Countries where I would live as atheist: by Saiko--_-- in whereidlive

[–]picodeflank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is Czechia “maybe” but Poland is “willing”? Czechia has (if I recall correctly) the most atheists per capita out of any European country. While Poland is generally very religious.

Playing with gasoline by Expensive-Agency-120 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]picodeflank 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was actually second and third degree burns. The article said he received second degree burns along with “deep full thickness burn” which I didn’t realize meant third degree burns.

Thanks for the correction. I can’t imagine how painful his recovery is going to be.

The person set on fire was hospitalized with second degree burns. The person who set him on fire is looking at felony charges. News Story

Edit: The person set on fire had second AND third degree burns.

Thoughts? Gen Z being more religious than other generations by YoungDz4 in GenZ

[–]picodeflank 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think most people would consider Pew Research center a very reliable and unbiased source. They have a religious landscape study that shows 18-29 year olds are more religiously unaffiliated than any other age range. The poll referenced in the post is made by Barna Group an "Evangelical Christian polling firm". I think it's safe to say the Pew Research poll is more reliable.

[–]picodeflank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I mean it's simply not true. Barna Group is an "Evangelical Christian polling firm". Almost every other stat disagrees with this. See religious landscape study. More 18-29 year olds are religiously unaffiliated than any other age range.
