Are you being obtuse? English is the most commonly spoken language in the world and US culture is extremely popular worldwide.

They didn’t assume most people are US-based. They assumed the DMV would be the most widely recognised and understood example to use.

Uh, I was replying to someone who said it’s essential to separate lids from their bottles. It’s not psychopaths who are doing this — it’s people who think it’s the right thing to do.

Separation requirements vary. In the UK, plastic bottle caps are generally tethered to the bottle now to prevent people from separating them.

That’s like 1% of critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The rest are random bloggers and the food/entertainment critic of the Springfield Courier.

Is there a reason you don’t just get a joint bank account (or credit card)? Put equal amounts in each month and use that for all shared expenses. Zero effort, totally fair.

It’s difficult to monetise data if you source it illegally (except in China maybe). Nobody reads the ToS anyway so it’s not like you need a backdoor.

I’ve had chicken sashimi in Japan. Who needs Mexican food?

I once saw a man in Delhi with a literal cloud of flies permanently stationed above his head. I thought that was just a cartoon trope but I realised then that it was an actual thing.

Never been to India, huh?

The science teacher’s comment is far removed from the evidence presented in that link:

with a can of diet soft drink containing 200 or 300 mg of aspartame, an adult weighing 70kg would need to consume more than 9–14 cans per day to exceed the acceptable daily intake

Sure, but it’s still just some dudes playing join-the-dots in the sky. None of it means anything.

Isn’t that how all constellations came about?

We’ve got enough to make sausages with it.

It’s a way to remember the case endings.

It’s illegal to park in front of fire hydrants so you’d want a self-driving car to know that. However, I think Tesla is pretty much the only company using cameras for self-driving cars (rather than lidar/radar), so not sure this is the real reason for the captchas. Knowing where hydrants are would be useful for Google Maps too.
