  I thought it was a teratoma at first but pickle is much more likely.

  Arktos means bear in Ancient Greek and the name Arctic comes from Arktikos which could be translated as near the bear. One theory is that it was named because of the Ursa constellations (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor). Antarctica just means opposite of the Arctic.

  The scientific name for Brown Bears is Ursus Arctos. Ursus means bear in Latin while Arctos means bear in Ancient Greek so their name translated is Bear Bear.

  I guess a concrete lot is better in your opinion.

  It’s a good representation of this new regime. Tear down nature and replace it with a parking lot.

  Cockroach is not the scientific name for them. It’s the common name. Most roaches are part of the Blattodea order together with termites. The common name came about in the early 17th century (as cacaroch ): from Spanish cucaracha . The spelling change was due to association with cock and roach.(according to Wikipedia).

  Depending on where you live there are different species of what is considered the common/house cockroach: The most common are: Blatella Germanica (German Cockroach), Periplaneta Americana (American Cockroach), Periplaneta Australasiae (Australian cockroach) and Blatta orientalis (Oriental Cockroach).

  It’s exactly what I was thinking. They should let the AI build a spaceship and all get into it. Would be the greatest achievement in humans history… when it blows up and kills all of them.

  The North Sentinel people are not actually fully isolated. They had contact with colonial authorities in the past (the British went on the island and even kidnapped some of the locals they found, an elderly couple and 4 kids. The couple died not soon after and the kids were sent back) and there was some peaceful contact with Indian anthropologists up until 1997. The 2004 earthquake and tsunami affected the island pretty badly and disturbed their fishing grounds but aerial survey of the island confirmed they survived and adapted to their new conditions. Most contact after that has been met with aggression most theories I heard about why assume it’s because of contact people fishing illegally in the area or an epidemic on the island after one such contact.

  The Indian government considers it illegal to contact them and will punish anyone who does it. That one American preacher that landed on the a while back was eventually killed by the locals and his death was ruled a murder but the Indian government didn’t push for anyone to be prosecuted. The US government also didn’t push for prosecution. So yea the Indian government wants them to be left alone.

  My personal take on this is that if the North Sentinel Islanders wanted to be in contact with the rest of the world they could. They are not very far from other Andaman islands and they could build a raft or a canoe that could reach them. The fact they haven’t done so means they don’t wish to be in contact with other people. It’s their choice to be isolated and it should be respected.

  Yeah you can.

  If the inappropriate content was reported as such and they took no action then that means they allowed it. They knew about it, due to the reports, and did nothing.

  Conspiracy theorists don’t have the imagination to write fantasy literature. They can’t account for the inconsistencies in their theories and 99% of the time the reason they give for why a certain thing is the way it is amounts to: “the Jews did it”.
