Billionaires should not exist at all. I saw a post saying that once you earn $999.999.999 dollars you get a trophy saying “I won capitalism” and everything else you earn goes to taxes. We should absolutely do that

Fair enough haha

English is only the lingua franca for now, but that, as well as the English language, will inevitably change.

Well, what other language should be used? Latin is the language of science because there’s no way we’d ever agree on which alive language to use.

My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.

Weird Al is a time traveler confirmed

He posted this joke himself lol

He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart

This is just the Euro NCAP guidelines, not actual EU regulation, but still a positive development.
And I agree that the EU have been on an amazing streak lately, they seem to be the only governing body actually fighting for consumer rights.

Does the USA not have an official phone registry website? Where I live you just go on there and look up any number, person or company you want. It’s basically an online phonebook.

Fuck why am I laughing so hard at this

There’s a reason why the American science community has long converted to metric. You just can’t do calculations like this quickly enough.

It doesn’t even sound Irish, it just sounds extremely white American

This is classic greenwashing. It’s the smallest possible gesture a soda company can make to show that they “care about the environment” while not making any actual change to be more eco-friendly.
Same thing with those awful paper straws. Are you really asking me to believe that a massive burger chain can neutralize their footprint by giving you a straw that turns soggy in minutes? The straws were never the real problem, but it’s the smallest possible step they can take to seem eco-friendly.

Icelander here, yup definitely Iceland. If the mountains don’t give it away then the woolen sweater and the small horse definitely do.

Excellent.

Man I bet Klingon death metal would be amazing

Norwegians: people can shop on Sundays?

I swear to god, these posers are everywhere. People with Che Guevara shirts can’t even tell me which instrument he played smh

At first I didn’t realize you’d get to keep the milk at the end of it and I thought a farmer was charging people for doing his own job lol
