I so badly want to know how many people clicked that link

At least half this list was “damn, I forgot I wasted time watching that crap”

Eh, from a practical standpoint, selfie-lady still has both legs, so if I had switches places with either of this, I’d know who to pick.

And when they say “more than 5ft” they mean it’s closer to 10.

Surveying isn’t hard, it’s a science humans have mastered long before this map was made.

But I that’s like saying putting down a brick is easy, so building the Via Appia wasn’t all that impressive.

This is the result of the collective efforts of an absurd amount of people working hard in the shittiest, least inhabited places on Earth, and combining all that information into a single sheet of paper.

Huh, funny to see an old map where the makers didn’t put themselves in the center

And no gearing, so no complex moving part assemblies…

Why make it hard on yourself when idiots self-select into an easy target audience?

Roughly the odds of flipping heads 17 times in a row

Welcome to the new Industrial Revolution, where one person can do the work of many. Sure, mass produced goodscontent aren’t as good as handmade artisanal products writing, but there’s a huge market for it.

One jack can hit pretty hard if you’re on a shitload of medication

Massive flooding of whole cities is simply not an insurable thing. Not even with all the reinsurers in the world can you pay out a city of millions. Most sane countries don’t even try.

I live about 5m under sea level. Should de dikes breach and my polder flood (and I don’t die horribly), the insurance company pays fuck all. The Dutch state has a giant mountain of cash sitting by for cases like that.

Of course, handing DeSantis a giant pile of emergency cash would just mean it instantly gets turned into bribes, so that wouldn’t work for Florida.

Quick, but them a pony!

Won’t a fire axe work perfectly well?

Who says he won’t keep working there?

And helium is the least bad thing to have leak into your ship

Huh? They launched plenty of Starlink satellites since March, they may not be enough to keep up with the shutdowns, but rockets have been going up.

Edit: if you look at https://satellitemap.space/ now, the number of sats has been going up since march, but the number in service is shrinking, probably due to shutdowns exceeding replacement launches.

Launch capacity has kept steady since 2022, and so has life expectancy. We’re coming up on the end of life for the first sats, so it’s likely the total number has peaked, and will now drop to a steady state.

Why’d you have to go ruin my day like that?

Hey, good news is news too!
