Nearly 80% of Americans now view fast food as a luxury in c/[email protected]

Fast food isn't a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.

My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

Just like Kyle to slack off when a world record is on the line. Thanks, Kyle!

New research shows gas stove emissions contribute to 19,000 deaths annually in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 33 points 5 months ago

Reading through the articles and linked articles in the comments, gas stove emissions contribute to, not a direct cause of, the deaths of .04% of the 50 million people in the US that use gas stoves.

Not saying this isn't important, but I don't think this will ever crack the top 10 concerns of my lifetime.

The title does say "very safe" so that's good enough for me.

I use mine during work hours, right before bed, and toilet time. After that I sometimes forget where it is. I don't take it with me into places like movies, restaurants, ball games, etc

If I were to lose it today I'd consider getting a replacement in a few days - maybe a week. I do text wife and friends but I'm at the point where if my phone beeps I'll get to it whenever.

I am Gen X if that plays into it.

TIL human bodies can incinerate and turn to ash and dust instantly during a rapid implosion (kbin.social)
 

Titan Sub Implosion

From the article:

When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500mph (2,414km/h) - that's 2,200ft (671m) per second, says Dave Corley, a former US nuclear submarine officer.

The time required for complete collapse is about one millisecond, or one thousandth of a second.

A human brain responds instinctually to a stimulus at about 25 milliseconds, Mr Corley says. Human rational response - from sensing to acting - is believed to be at best 150 milliseconds.

The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapours.

When the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion, Mr Corley says.

Human bodies incinerate and are turned to ash and dust instantly.

I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?

Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
