  • That’s just how memes work, no? Something random gets repeated and evolved. It’s funny because its a random occurrence that didn’t really affect anything. But we can play with it as if it did. Like moving a mug in a time travel movie changes the universe.

    It’s an absurd and sad situation that gathered enough attention to become a meme. I for my part enjoy some Harambe memes now and then.



  • Women can be strong and mentally superior to men. But saying women are weaker because of propaganda is just wrong.

    Female oplympians aren’t slower or weaker because men told them to be. Serena Williams lost vs rank 203 male tennis players during Williams’ peak. There’s plenty of strong women who could kick Tue average males ass. But has a higher baseline strength, and a higher threshold. If they didn’t there would be more mixed competitions.

    This whole thing is bait.

    Anyone engaging on any side of the debate are fools. Any topic antagonizing half the population will somehow stir up some noise.

    It’s like saying all women are bad at sport because they don’t train hard enough. It’s ignorant and serves only the purpose of creating a divide in the population.

    Stop engaging in the divide.


  • Being a pedestrian in Amsterdam can be pretty bad. Dutch on bikes are insane. No slowing down is allowed. The bike might be rigged like the bus in Speed or whatever. Ready to explode.

    People on heavy e-bikes are riding 25km/h over pedestrian crossings with poor visibility.

    It is dangerous, and should be treated as such.

    Cars in Amsterdam is a much smaller consern than bikes. Really.

    Been there. Beautiful city. Terrible biking culture. The Dutch know. They reference it occasionally.

    So. In Norway we have this great system for returning used bottles for cash. We get 0.2$ for a 0.5 liter bottle. People are returning the bottle with the cap on. Seeing bottle caps laying around isn’t a thing.

    Instead of attaching the cap to the bottle. Make a return system for the bottles. People are not systematically seperating the bottle and the cap as the cap keeps the sugary residue left inside the bottle in place instead of in the bag you carry them with to the store for returning them for that sweet cash.

    Attaching the cap is a solution looking for a problem.

    Having travelled a lot around in Europe I have never seen bottle caps laying the street alone. People throw them together or not at all.

    This is bureaucracy time spent on caps instead of actual problems. So they could focus on actual issues instead of this shit. It’s a testament to how they blame every issue on random people instead of the industries inventing new ways to fuck up any ecosystem.

    I’m so fucking tired.

    It’s estimated the fishing industry is losing around 400 metric tonnes of fishing gear into Norwegian waters every year.

    Now we are punished for this by attaching the stupid caps to the bottles. Why are we not able to fix problems in this society hellbent for self destruction?

    Why are every problem pushed down on the working class just wanting to enjoy a soda in this capitalistic hellscape.

    Its a legit answer to a smart ass question.

    Which Arabic numerals? There are plenty. If you travel to an Arabic country and pick up some cash you will see some numerals that looks different than the ones we use in non-arabic countries.

    It’s like asking if children should have mandatory french in school. when people say no the children will not be taught words like Infantry, Entrecote or vulgar because those are french words.

    The person making this question while squirting milk of his nostrils is more ignorant than your people saying no.
