How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It's only showing flat pages for me.

There's no way a human's bite is only 30% less than a dog's. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.

lol, you point out how this is divisive and then proceed to divide Gen Z into late and early cohorts.

Yeah, it's technically illegal to sell blood and plasma but they get around this by paying you for your time instead. Gee, I wonder why this loophole doesn't work for prostitution.

If capitalism itself has been identified as the root of the problem, what other solution is there except overthrowing it completely? Do you prefer applying temporary bandaids indefinitely?

They would most likely look the same but there are still evolutionary changes deeper in the DNA that aren't visible like metabolic and digestive functions. A modern horseshoe crab would not be able to reproduce with one from a 100 million years ago despite looking virtually identical.

When I see massive and highly technical projects like this I wonder where they find enough skilled labor to build it. Just look at the immense complexity of this and they have to build miles and miles of it underground. I'm imagining that all of the construction workers have PhDs in physics or some shit. Or am I overestimating the demands here?

250 million years ago to 2019. This salt had a good run.

All tetrapods share a common ancestor but the land was already teeming with invertebrate life at the time. Take a look at this handy guide to see our lineage. :)

Because the Anglosphere was so xenophobic that even the Irish and Italians were too culturally exotic to them and thus demonized their entire belief system.

What's funny is that ferrets have been domesticated for thousands of years for a similar purpose as cats but they're still viewed as wild or exotic by many. California and Hawaii still prohibit ownership of ferrets out of fear that they will harm native wildlife populations. Yet cats are completely legal and are much more capable hunters in every situation other than underground burrows. And anyone who has owned or interacted with a pet ferret knows how completely useless they would be surviving in the wild on their own. They have zero self preservation instinct.

It's quite possibly the WASPiest food in existence. A dish devised to showcase the wonders of lmayo in all its grandeur.

 

Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes
