Never said they don’t exist. But most of the people I personally know who smoked, smoked every day.

7.3% and 5-6% both seem very low. What kind of nicotine addict (which is most people who take it more often than every couple of days) can actually go a day completely without nicotine? Nicotine is extremely addictive.

I heard that depending on the toilet design, flushing with the lid down is even worse.

AFAIK most billionaires become so by birth, even if the most prominent are the ones who made their fortune through their own exploits (though I assume most of those were already wealthy by birth).

Becoming a billionaire by birth isn’t evil in itself, it’s the act of staying a billionaire. Though rare, there are examples of people born into considerable wealth who give most of it away to charity.

TFW you’re a British lesbian songwriter

Most households in rich nations I guess. I haven’t ever heard of anyone I personally know that they have a rodent infestation in their home.

The usefulness is dubious for most house cats. Most households don’t have mouse infestations, and cats who go outside actively endanger wildlife (and yes, that is an issue for humans as well).

I do agree that they’re extremely cute, probably very useful on a psychological level, and honestly I don’t know any other cute pet animals that are as cleanly with their feces (dogs can relatively easily be trained to not shit on the carpet, but not to shit in a dog toilet).

I bet house cats would never have been a thing if they didn’t house-train (bury their feces) instinctually.

What’s that logo in the lower right corner? Never seen it (probably on account of not being USian) and it’s too small/low contrast to read the upper part.

That said, the trouble with ice thickness is measuring it without stepping on it.

Would aliens in 10000 years even be able to tell the difference between trash and … well, not trash? They’d probably just think that we were really into plastic. Which isn’t wrong - I literally bought a plastic mixing bowl this week (it was that or steel, and I hate the noise of steel bowls).

That kinda makes it sound like most people are bastards, they just don’t usually get the opportunity to show it.

Swimming bugs are much bigger and thus it’s much easier to peel away their exoskeleton and intestines. Sea water definitely does have a seasoning effect, though, as seen with fresh water fish vs. ocean fish.

Vexingly, not pronounced as new+found+land. Apparently it’s something like Newfin-lan, with a stress on the first syllable.

Looks like a derpy fish looking at you in the thumbnail, but weirdly I only see tits when I open the full image.

I have a digital to do list. When it gets from “this is way too big” to “I have to scroll two full pages”, I move entries to a secondary to do list that I look at like never. I should call that one the “don’t list”.

I either scroll at random or enter the Unix epoch (1/1/1970).

Dinosaurs had tons of different sizes and niches. We didn’t extinct literally all megafauna - bears, elk, ostriches (literal dinosaur!) still exist and are so common that they’re often nuisances.

Man, I wish it was only banner (popup?) ads for porn …

Have you seen websites lately, like without adblockers etc.? The bottom picture is definitely both.

The thing is, with public planning, zoning laws etc. you can make it possible. People generally move to where the jobs are, and that tends to be cities. It’s basically why Spain’s population is so concentrated in the cities, much more so than in other similarly-sized european countries. In the US, zoning laws were a huge part of how it became so car-reliant, too.
