What Have You Learned Today?

[Ethel mermania]

You weren't involved I hope?

Oh, no. I’m fine. It’s just that they do happen a lot around these parts. In a week I saw three separate accidents.

Supposedly this happens because we get a lot of out of town drivers in the area, and because they aren’t familiar with FL drivers’ crazy maneuvers, these intersection accidents occur.

Q-tips, i believe is the technical term

Ok, that’s funny.

Today i learned that the President thinks his uncle was eaten by cannibals

[So uh lab here]

I learned that female anacondas average about twice the weight of males and eat them regularly.

Interesting. Glad humans don't do that.

[Foxyshire]

I learned that life really is a Bitter Sweet Symphony.

[Plan Neonie]

I learned that the forums is the wild west. Crazy

[Jerzylvania]

Trump attracts firebugs.

[So uh lab here]

I learned that female anacondas average about twice the weight of males and eat them regularly.

i also learned that during mating season an average of five males wrestle in slow motion over a female for about four weeks, while one male may win the female may refuse to mate with him and choose another male, females usually eat at least one male from the breeding ball since they don't eat at all during their 7–10-month pregnancy.

i had to write a report on something and I choose anacondas so I'm full of facts

Today i learned that your teacher will be scarred for life after reading your report.

Common houseflies like Trump's comb-over. Must be the smell.

That Disturbed covered The Sound of Silence (and it's actually pretty good)

[Singaporen Empire]

I have learnt that lightning is 3 times hotter than the sun.

[East Leaf Republic]

I learnt that on Valentine's Day 1990, Voyager 1 left the Earth forever. Before moving out of the Solar System, Voyager 1 looked at Earth for one last time. It took a photo of the Earth and is now floating in the vast universe.

Because of an awkward (if completely literal) translation from the Septuagint and Vulgate, the King James Bible mentions unicorns in multiple verses. Most modern scholars believe the original text refers to an extinct species of oxen called aurochs, but that hasn’t stopped a small group of Evangelicals (including the Creation Museum guy) from believing in unicorns.

People often remark that British Muslims have very extremist views even by the standards of the rest of the Muslim World - which is strange because you might assume they would be more liberal living in the west. There are probably a few reasons for this:

• Deracination effects as a minority group with no mainstream heritage to integrate into. As an obvious outgroup that can’t really be integrated in the same way a Dutch or German person could be a lot of identity-forming, especially among second and third generation migrants, is done through latching onto cultural markers from their home countries. Historical British culture is always going to be alien because it obviously isn’t theirs. With the easy availability of extreme versions of Islam in their diaspora communities as well as Dawah content online it ends up being easy to fall into these worldviews. The zeal they develop also gets continually reinforced in their real life communities

• Many come from relative backwaters in the Muslim World, poor parts of places like Pakistan and Bangladesh. They are not the more urbane Muslim middle classes you’ll see more as immigrants in places like America. Often less intelligent and with a kind of peasant Islamic culture instead of a more sophisticated Islamic culture, there’s a lack of a nuanced ballast or cultural guardrails that stops them tipping over into more ‘out-there’ worldviews. This culture also often mixes with the generic western ‘black urban hiphop culture’ which doesn’t really encourage that refinement

• No checks on this kind of extremism by British Culture in the way you even see in many Muslim Cultures where very extreme forms of Islam get shut down, just as a function of pragmatic governance. The British state is often happy to let them do and say whatever they want as an extension of its ‘liberal principles’ or ‘multiculturalism’. No real attempts to integrate them or moderate them because it is regarded as racist to challenge the maladaptive parts of their culture

This is broadly consistent with things I've heard about the British South Asian diaspora elsewhere on the English-language Internet. (Off topic, but I've noticed there are a lot of RP-accented English-language YouTube videos explaining Quranic passages that were presumably narrated by individuals of Subcontinental heritage.)

Today I learnt that learning things is fun.

Jk, today I learnt that people will be very daring and almost eat a spider.

RFK Jr is taking significantly more voters away from Trump than Biden in most recent polls. Something like 15% from Trump to 7% from Biden. Looks like the Kennedy family made it's point to the Dem voters out there.

[Milanaa]

Maybe it will sound trite, but I learned to love myself. This was not the case before, so I weigh more than the norm for my body, but with the diet here https://betterme.world/articles/how-lon ... 40-pounds/ , I started to change and now I treat myself differently. I am proud of myself.

The fact that we’re stuck between two old men and a vaccine conspiracy theorist is crazy

That is in itself, among the most important things one can learn about themselves. I respect this immensely.

WW2 was crazier. So was the depression. Back then we had a crippled man with a shortened life expectancy in a wheelchair. Terrible things worked out thanks to FDR's decisions but it took much time. Hey, it's not the age of the men that's such a problem. That's why there's a vice president. The critical problems occur within their character. Trump isn't fit for the job for that specific reason, the age thing is nothing. Presidents can die at any age.

how to use the cash. Never paid attention to it.Discovered some clever ways to maximize it, like 신용카드 현금화. It's been eye-opening, learning new ways to manage finances effectively. Always keep learning!

I think I got banned for posting one word in a thread. There was a thread that asked Freedom or Equality. I had no idea that it was a gravedig thread. I read the OP and then responded "Freedom!" I looked at the forum today and say that it was locked. I looked at the last post and it was a Mod who said Iwas banned for a day for gravedigging.
