Yeah, I think this is a lot more plausible than the wall heating theory that someone further up got way more upvotes for.

Looking at how the clock in Windows defaults based on region, it seems to be mostly the Whiter of the former British colonies plus a few South American countries that use 12h (for computing, at least). The rest of the world are all 24h.

Does she refer to it as “hora militar” though?

lol, by that argument you’re a bedwetter who suckles on your mother’s breast and doesn’t know how to read or write

dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’
Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries’ civilian populations.

Posts like this are proof positive of Dead Internet Theory, because surely no human could be this oblivious to an obvious joke

Aside from all the other issues surrounding it, every demo I’ve seen so far is creepy uncanny valley stuff that I found unsettling and wouldn’t want to be playing.

He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.
You do realize you’ve proved his point? In Europe there’d be no “just as they are moving”, the cars would have already moved by the time the ambulance reached them.

Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic
Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence.

As long as the clerk hasn’t seen Guys and Dolls it should be fine.
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.

I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.
There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

So, not aliens then.

The sightings stopped happening round about exactly the same time as everyone started carrying a video camera in their pocket.

Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?

Most old UFO sightings were in areas that are now known to be places where drone technology was being developed and tested.
- Comment on it keeps getting momentum 1 month ago:
The sad thing is that when it bursts it won’t do it in a hilarious “billionaires all get shafted” way like it didn’t any of the previous times. It’s far more likely to take the form of the most powerful AIs suddenly only being accessible to the wealthy.

LOL, the sole one single point I made in my post is that I only ever see assertions without evidence, and your response is a bit of handwaving and an ad hominem. Thanks for demonstrating my point so perfectly.

Literally anything other than bad faith conspiracy-theory assertions, please.

They’re accelrrationist who want conditions to get so bad that their ideas actually seem good.
I’ve seen this claim made a few times before, and it’s never accompanied by a shred of evidence.

Does it count if it was 2020 and the person is also your age? I feel like a LOT of people have a weirdly revisionist memory of the first few months of the pandemic.
- Comment on One of the most interesting things that happens when you are old 1 month ago:
Haven’t had that yet, but having travelled a lot I find it jarring how many other countries seem to think that Thatcher was a great leader to look up to, and not a dreadful callous nightmare who sold the country out on multiple levels to create the illusion of prosperity, and even that only for the sort of people that voted for her.
