Ee they grow up fast - I remember when this millenium was only 1/80 complete

Country boy here - cows are pretty harmless most of the time if you leave them alone, they might wander over to have a look, but they’re usually pretty docile. If you don’t want them near you, clapping your hands or making yourself big with your arms and shouting usually makes them go away. I will say that you should absolutely not approach them if there are calves nearby and bulls in general are typically more aggressive, but if you keep a safe distance you should be fine

You try arguing with idiots

You seem to be rather fond of this sort of question

This is something I wrestle with sometimes as an engineering student and I think it does vary from country to country. You’ve got to ask yourself how the world would be different without those companies - whether other less friendly countries would come to prominence and whether the removal of the such a deterrence would make wars more common. But on the other hand, you should think about how those weapons are used and whether it’s ‘right’ like the defence of Ukraine, or more objectionable like some of the more polarising conflicts around the world. It’s a very difficult question but personally I don’t think I would work for a weapons company coz I don’t know how I’d feel about making something that is designed to kill people

There have been cases where people who have learnt another language get head trauma and fall into a coma, only to wake up having forgotten their first language and only being able to speak their second. But you can’t magically learn a language in a coma

I find it bizarre how frequently entertainment plays off sexual assault against men for comedy

You’re not from the UK are you?

I’ve never seen anything more accurate in my life

Record companies are complete shithouses but they’re not part of some global conspiracy

There’s a strong risk of making a paradox here - if the great library survives, it drastically alters history from that point on, meaning there is a very strong chance you would never have been born to go back in time to save the library. Also if the library had already been saved (by you in the past), what motivation would you have to go back and save it, given it never burnt?

Are social media companies scared that if they don’t update often enough people will stop using their app?

I don’t think the attraction is logical, these people are just mentally ill

I think it’s using the daft American date system of m/d/y

Yea, I used to get it from my local farmshop, but it never re-opened after lockdown

100% agree, but its a shame it’s harder to come by

I fucking love the onion

Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact yet and buzz them.” “Buzz them?” Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him. “Yeah,” said Ford, “they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one’s ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennas on their head and making beep beep noises.
