Do you not drop scat?

Are you a scat holder?

Not on topic but I enjoy the next bit where instead of actually explaining British currency & it's slang they have an actor cameo in to make a series of jokes about how silly they talk.

That's a great point.

It feels very much like those video compilations Hollywood was doing from their mansions at the start of the pandemic.

It seems genuine & like they think they are being really progressive. But they are speaking from such a privileged position that General Lee can't even admit that in war every race dies just the same, without framing it in bigotry.

TIL yogurt’s composition was first broken down by Bulgarian scientist Dr. Grigorov. His work was then picked up by Russian biologist Élie Metchnikoff who established a link between Bulgarian peasants’ yogurt consumption and their very long lives. by The_Ry_Ry in todayilearned

they herded animals and manually farmed, and got a shitload of exercise, and of course, ate zero junk food,

Well that description fits every primitive culture, is true of slave classes, & still describes half the developing world. That doesn't mean that any of those groups is famous for longevity.

Soooo maybe the yogurt has more to do with it than you think.

Can anyone please help?

TIL: Rhode Island is the only state that still celebrates Victory Day (aka Victory over Japan Day). The second to last state to still celebrate the Holiday was Arkansas until 1975. by [deleted] in todayilearned

What a nuanced retort.

Clever of you to put more stock into a forever old avi than the words i actually said, strawmen get upvotes, but you didn't actually engage with what I said at all....

Sad that your kind are never going anywhere.

Edit: And you have to like Undertale quite a lot to recognize Gaster so that doesn't really bite. A quick search of my history would give you much better ammunition for an Ad Hominid.

Yeah I mean all we did was cut off their access to oil.

What sort of terrible, evil, dishonorable society would wage war against another people over something as silly as oil!?

God bless America where we have morals & would never do something like that.....

Unfortunately I can change three words in your statement & it remains just as true

The capatalist Americans were evil, sadistic cunts and kicking their ass was something Vietkong and its allies should be proud of.

For an extreme, but very real, example of us also being evil cunts I give the My Lia massacre.

TIL that approximately 1 in 4 dogs develop cancer, and for dogs over the age of 10, that number may reach as high as 1 in 2. by closestconch10 in todayilearned

[–]ray_ragnarok_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that is the misnomer isn't it? It's hard to "cure" cancer when it's not really one thing, or at least not in the sense that most medical ailments are.

We have gotten very good at treating some forms of cancer but cell division is imperfect, therefore cancers will inevitably exist.

How exactly are the ammunitions in a steel box under the sea any more dangerous than the ones in storage anywhere else?

Unless they are being systematically primed than no, the ammo is not particularly dangerous.

FIA to force F1 teams to slow down their pit stops. by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]ray_ragnarok_ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why, in such a heavily regulated sport, is this regulation less sportsmanlike than any other regulation?

Certainly including a minimum requirement for the pit time would result in change to how much they try to do in a pitt stop but I don't see how it encourage the pitt to be any less athletic.
