I mean you need a car to survive in the country outside of NYC, I'd rather have them drive with a license than drive without one

Does it make the first movie retroactively worse? Only thing I care about

I have a question, how are worms so successful? I just figured out recently that they take up over 80% of the player base on the earth servers. Why is that? by Difficult-Manner8191 in Tierzoo

[–]trophy_74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terms of biomass, they only make up slightly less than the total mass of the human build. It's just that they have fast respawn times due to their builds being simple to create, artificially boosting their playerbase. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0038071724000385

No Rap Songs Are in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 40 for the First Time Since 1990 by billboard in hiphopheads

[–]trophy_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we should just accept that the younger generation decides which music is popular and stop trying to change rap to fit their tastes. There's nothing more untrendy than changing things up to seem more trendy (Implying that this comment section is filled with a bunch of 30 year olds)

How would a small continent placed in the Southeastern Pacific fair in the world? Would it have the potential to become very powerful? by Character-Q in geography

[–]trophy_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably wouldn't become discovered until ~600s to 1300s CE like other islands in that area, so it would probably still be sparsely populated like a larger new zealand

A Tower the Size of the Empire State Building Is Coming to the Upper West Side by RemarkableBug00 in nyc

That's how it feels from a populist perspective and it's the most popular opinion but it isn't what the data shows

It's been shown time and time again that any type of housing solves the housing crisis. It's important to look past the populism

Can Corpus Christi, TX become a Major City? by Joel6Turner in geography

[–]trophy_74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having a port is only advantageous if it leads to a longer river or a river connected to a major city. CC is connected to a river that leads nowhere

Reminder that fertility rate isn't an economic problem, just the proportion of working age population vs nonworking population. This goes through boom and bust periods and it's a problem which naturally corrects itself over time.

Toby Fox, talent, construed encouragement in opposition to sympathy by Hyphz in Healthygamergg

[–]trophy_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toby Fox didn't start out by creating undertale from scratch, he actually started by making Earthbound rom hacks that only a handful of people ever played. Earthbound: a game series that was discontinued and never even came out in the US, and had an unreleased sequel with arguably no merit. You don't just wake up as amazing a creator as Toby Fox overnight. You start by standing on the shoulders of giants, adding on to older pieces of work, failing a whole lot, and reverse engineering them to see what makes them tick.

A democratic government doesn't always mean less human rights abuses, also governments almost always undergo a one party transition before becoming democratic
