@SamaHoole If you made it to 18, the life expectancy in 1900 was 67. Infant and childhood mortality lowered the average

"Life expectancy has doubled since 1900, so clearly modern food is working." Yes. Brilliant point. Absolutely watertight. Tell me, when you picture a Victorian dying at thirty-eight, what do you think killed him? Was it the butter on his bread? Was it the lard in the pan? Was it the grass-fed mutton? The eggs from the yard? The unpasteurised milk straight from the cow he could see from the kitchen window? Or was it cholera, tuberculosis, dysentery, smallpox, sepsis from a splinter, childbirth in a room with no soap, a boiler explosion, a coal mine, a war, a workhouse, and the entirely reasonable medical practice of being bled by a man with a leech? We did not extend life expectancy by replacing his lard with sunflower oil. We extended it by inventing the toilet, the antibiotic, and the idea that surgeons might wash their hands occasionally. The margarine is doing nothing. The margarine is, if anything, slightly working against the project. The plumbing did the heavy lifting. Give the plumber a statue.

Yes. He’s the most famous entertainer in history. All of the entertainers you mentioned can sit courtside at a NBA game. Michael Jackson could not. @MagicJohnson told the story of how he invited MJ to a Lakers game and it created so much chaos, they had to stop the game. MJ had to leave because fans were leaving their seats to try to get to him. None of the people you mentioned have that level of fame where they can’t attend public events.

Is Michael Jackson really bigger than Eminem, Jay z, Lil Wayne, Taylor swift, Rihanna and Beyonce all put together?

@fantomastisch The real reason they keep their arms like that is because they usually have a twelve-pack in each hand.

Schon gewusst? Warum halten die Iren beim Stepptanz die Arme bewegungslos am Körper? Weil zur Zeit der englischen Besatzung das Tanzen in den Pubs verboten war, aber die Patrouillen es durch die Fenster so nicht bemerken konnten. Das hat man dann bis heute so beibehalten. 🇮🇪

I'm frustrated that everyone is overfocusing on whether high schoolers should know the words "silhouette" and "gauche." if you actually watch the video, the alarming thing is that the kids are so stressed out at the sight of an unfamiliar word and don't even try to sound it out

People are arguing that “silhouette” and “gauche” are not words a high schooler would/should know. Those are middle school vocabulary words, diva

Coolers are always drinks first then ice on top. Allow gravity to do its thing If you’d like, you can then add a little water
Steve Brudzynski@_BigSteve89

@CaptainCons What’s the proper layering for a cooler ? Is it ice drinks ice ? Or drinks first and a ton of ice on top ?

A hot rotisserie chicken should have been allowed on SNAP a long time ago. It makes no sense that someone could buy soda and snack food but not a cooked chicken that can become dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow, soup, tacos, or chicken salad later in the week. That is the kind of cheap, useful grocery store protein that helps a family stretch food.

What the fuck. A US Admiral just briefed Trump on preparations for a new wave of strikes to deliver the “final blow” to Iran. Final blow sounds like they’re planning to use nukes. This should concern everyone. The people of Iran are not our enemy. Our own corrupt government is.

Since my following has gotten somewhat bigger, it's time to revisit this question. What is your Mount Rushmore of country music? Mine has to be: George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Vern Gosdin.

@realcountry1953 In the 1950s, Akron was home to more people who were born in West Virginia than any city in West Virginia.
