  thanks for rhe source!

  I mean, we also hunted every animal on the planet unsuccessfully and got killed by them.

  did any society ever rely on polar bears as a major food source? because to me, that would seem like the absolute last resort, once everything else is dead. not an everyday-type activity, more something for the desperate or someone crazy. Then again, I’m not into stone age history.

  i can assure you, if I could play the guitar while riding a unicycle, you’d never see me do anything else, ever again. and i do know how to ride one.

  Thats an insane level of skill, guy’s got the right to brag.

  its revenge, actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polar bears⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats how we made it this far. Some absolute morons charge ahead and get themselves killed, while everyone else shakes their head. With some animals it works, surprisingly. Others we learn to keep away from- until the next moron feels like " hey, lets try that thing again!".

  The “regular” ist key here. I checked my local breads, saw no added sugar, saw some sweet breads with sugar, concluded that regular bread usually doesn’t contain sugar. Asked you to disprove the claim with examples, because I got curious. That’s not claiming all breads contain no sugar. That’s your interpretation, not my intended meaning.

  I can also tell you why I concluded that: because I didnt count Gerstenmalz-extrakt as sugar. I didn’t even know it was sweet. I searched for sugar in the ingredients and couldn’t find any. So now I learned something new, which is that this stuff is sweet, even if it isn’t pure sugar. Also that our breads, even if they usually taste less sweet than in other countries I’ve been to, have added sweet stuff. Good to know.

  Dude, I never said no bread in Germany contains sugar. Regular supermarket bread in my area mostly doesn’t. I’m not sure what got you annoyed enough about an innocent question to turn this into a three comment answer? I wasnt trying to be snarky.

  That’s the thing with stereotypes, it’s not about saying all people or all things are like this, it’s a about tendencies. Some people play those up for humor. Anyone who then seriously claims that “everyone/everything from country x is like that” is an idiot of course. I didn’t do that though.

  Thanks for giving me examples, it’s good to know that the sugar content of storebought bread is that different according to region.

  Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.

  Genuine question, what bread did you look at?

  There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm.

  I didn’t think you could make the job of a paramedic even more exciting than it already is, but here we are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The pattern that makes us think things are cute (=young) is pretty universal among animals. It includes big eyes, big heads in relation to the rest of the body, small noses and a small mouth. We find things like cats super cute, because even adult cats are pretty close to that pattern, compared to f.e. adult humans.

  So I guess that an animal whose adult form is less close to this pattern than ours would probably think of us as especially cute?
