- Comment on I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it. 1 hour ago:
Never seen one of those. All the electric kettles I’ve ever seen just turn off once the water is boiling.

Fair. But it still beats having to boil water on stove!

Sure, it feels a bit odd … but what’s the issue? It will boil the water.
- Comment on Would increasing populations of ectothermic animals help climate change much more than increasing wildlife generally? 4 days ago:
They still produce heat, so increasing their population will just add more heat.
I don’t think it matters, though. The amount of heat produced by animals is probably neglectable compared to just the sunlight the earth receives every day.
- Comment on Mod harder 5 days ago:
Sadly, a lot of communities have this problem where mods allow (or even post) all kinds of unsuitable content in the name of “growing the community” or something.

- Comment on Why don't all the "illegals" or just some put a tracker on them that goes back to their spouse or something? That way we can go to whereever the place their held at a protest the shit out of it? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t need it. You can just look up the locations of ICE detention camps on a map.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 2 weeks ago:
I did. And there is nothing in there that implies that you don’t believe it.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not saying you can become friends
But you’re literally asking people if they are friends with … that as implies that you believe you can become friends with them.

- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had a lot of exposure to spiders for the last 20 years, including keeping my own since I was 16. I’ve never been bitten and my brother (who did more of the handling than me), was only bitten twice. And we kept plenty of the more “aggressive” spiders that are much more likely to bite than your average spider.
And a single spider biting more than at most 2 times is pretty much unheard of. 5 bites is a very strong indicator it was a blood seeking insect.
- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 3 weeks ago:
Unless you regularly sleep in a pit of spiders, seems like you have a lifetime of misconceptions. They don’t.
- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 3 weeks ago:
Downvoted because it’s extremely unlikely. Spiders rarely bite in the first place and 5 times is bordering on absurd.
Spiders usually bite in a line
Utter nonsense. Where did you even get this?
Impossible to tell without more info. But I’d bet spider.
It is indeed impossible to tell, but betting on a spider is one of the worst bets you can make in this case.
- Comment on When you attempt to get visas or citizenship status, you usually need legal documents from your home country, but what about dissidents who fled, and their government refuses to issue papers? 3 weeks ago:
I imagine Canada or EU has similar requirement of like your birth certificates?
Seems Switzerland doesn’t because I’ve never even seen mine.
- Comment on When you attempt to get visas or citizenship status, you usually need legal documents from your home country, but what about dissidents who fled, and their government refuses to issue papers? 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure it differs from place to place, but I’ve recently gotten my permanent resident status and I’ve never had to show anything except for my original countries ID card. All other documents that I had to submit were local ones (rental contract, work contract, bank account).

It’s the answer this guy gave to the question.
- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 3 weeks ago:
I disagree and as proof I offer … literally any comment section.
