You forgot how many people would bitch their small size in a medium container wasn’t filled properly.

THEY HAVE NEW ZEALAND

Its also only two distinct islands

I have (had- grew up) 3. They are cute - its a natural defense mechanism so we don’t throw them in the bin when they are up at 3am for the 22nd night in a row.

You could also argue its a moot point in the wider image - pop numbers at the time you discuss would be mean few grains difference at most.

I had people at high school who did this regularly.

Same crowd than snorted sherbet when we made it, put hot glue in their hands to see who could hold it longer… did the same thing with metal rulers and bunsen burners.

Didn’t see any of them graduate for some reason.

I would also argue we lived in a pre-9/11 world.

It us shocking how much the world changed in response for the sake of security and safety, and I know it’s a controversial take but the terrorists succeed in changing the world to their image.

Or I could just have two burger parties, two eggs, mac nd cheese and some pancakes.

Fuck you all, im going to go buy it out of spite

Im the friend

I use the argument that consumerism is American culture. Anything from giant takeaways, to excess consumption at holidays, Costco, Walmart, even the American Healthcare system is designed to be sold.

Yeah, im pretty sure the bot farms made it to lemmy.

Add Rick and Morty and you just found the other 9.99%

Last 0.01% is “nobody here but us trees”

Great, now I’ve got to go reinstall borderlands

Don’t forget to like and ring that bell

(I felt dirty even typing that as a joke)

Ooo, do women have the power or are they a commodity valued on ability to have kids. Will this be a boon for feminine rights or a massive step backwards.

I smell a new post

The best answer to that line is what society will accept.

I mean, we already have a way to decide where that line is - supply and demand. In a perfect world people would decide not to have kids because its not financially possible based on the price due to shortages - like you say though that wouldn’t be the case.

With realistic considerations - your support from society ceases at two kids. If you want to have more no govt support.etc. That’s a vote killer as for some reason the governments responsible when you can’t feed your kids, but that’s the best way forward imo.

The top two responses are opposite - definitely sits right.

Hard disagree - you’re effectively controlling people’s body autonomy the same way as abortion bans. Let alone the confusion of differently structured families (what if the woman has two and a new husband wants one??).

Controlling wastefulness, development for the future and education on the other hand- absolutely. Side effect is that better education usually leads to smaller families, and that’s before you also include sex ed and access to contraception.

Im going to eat sushi

Or a iced mocha with whipped cream

Or scratch my foot

I mean, we were also in a global conflict then after one group tried to blame another for their economic and general unhappiness with how things turned out causing them to support a horrific person.

History doesn’t repeat but it sure as fuck rhymes
