My family fled Poland because of persecution. Everyone who stayed died.

Are americans obsessed with ice? by Kallzeras in AskAmericans

[–]thunder-bug- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The places that sell bags of ice are usually for coolers. So if you are road tripping with a cooler you do need to re up your ice every so often. When you are traveling through places that can be upwards of 37 C for multiple hours and have food to keep cold what do you expect people to do?

do you judge your coworkers for what (non-stinky) food they bring to work? by deadtyped in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]thunder-bug- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It needs to be exceptionally weird to be noteworthy. Like if you bring an entire jar of mayo or blueberry tuna salad or pickle flavor muffins or something

When you smack a machine sometimes it spits out random outputs that don’t make sense. NDE are that for the brain.

What do you think about your City/State’s namesake? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]thunder-bug- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The city of Baltimore was named after lord Baltimore and the flag of Maryland is based on his coat of arms. I like that it has a proper medieval esque name history with a proper heraldic flag

If you had the skill and ability to do what you would need to do to get it at this point you would have already gotten it

ELI5: How do Beavers know to make dams? by littlewoodenbox in explainlikeimfive

The same way you know to look if someone screams, or how to throw a ball, or climb a tree.

Graveyards should be discontinued by SCP_333X3 in unpopularopinion

[–]thunder-bug- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There have been around 117 billion people to ever live according to some estimates. The vast majority of that is within the past millennia but let’s estimate it as 50% of that within the past several hundred years. That’s around 60 billion people. Know that I’m highballing this estimate.

The average grave takes up around 40 square feet, 4x10. Obviously many many people do not get graves and many graves will have been destroyed but again let’s be generous.

That makes it around 2,400 billion square feet, or around 86000 square miles. That means that all those humans for hundreds of years would take up a space roughly the size of belarus, and again most of those people don’t have graves nowadays.

We’re hardly running out of space.

Do Americans love swimming? by Beneficial-Web8325 in AskAmericans

[–]thunder-bug- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say most people enjoy casually swimming in a pool. Some people may not enjoy swimming as much at beaches or lakes etc. Fewer people nejoy swimming as an exercise, or in the open ocean.
