  Are most insects (and shrimp for that matter) actually able to feel? I mostly heard they are best described as automatons, like low-level robots made by nature. My roomba might have higher “brain” function than a cicada, but I don’t know about newer studies.

  That’s a Society, more to the point, an US Society problem. I’ve never heard of such vanity before.

  This doesn’t pose a big problem for a company like Aldi. They are in the process of updating their older stores here so lots of things (big coolers, checkout lanes and baking stations included) get moved around.

  Or the whole building is designed to accommodate the different customer expectations in the first place.

  Globally operating companies can’t just build one blueprint for every market, with few exceptions.

  See also (for a negative example): Why Walmart failed in Germany.

  Common missconception: people didn’t just die in their thirties, the average is brought down somewhat hard by lots of infant death, childbirth complications and the like.

  @Prunebutt says it right, it’s the advancements in medicine, but thats more reactively treating diseases than proactively lengthening the lifespan.
