I finally know what inspired that weird Futurama episode!

Maybe it's similar to how tree sap tastes different after you've boiled it down to syrup?
Maple sap has a pleasant, very mildly sweet flavor whereas maple syrup is the greatest thing on earth.

Try Norway. Our electric companies were sold to private investors who sold our electricity to the EU, and then they sold too much so they had to buy it back at exorbitant prices and the public is footing the bill for their dumbassery.
It's not as bad as it was a year ago but it's still about 15 times more expensive than it was just 4 years ago.

Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this

Yall ever just unwind and smoke 20 cigarettes at once? Relaxes your soul, 20 cigarettes does

Sure, I guess we don't need writers, painters, visual artists, musicians and filmmakers. I mean, what do they do really, enrich our culture and move our souls? Pff, AI can do that easily.

I'll just build my own cell tower and become my own ISP, checkmate

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

Well said!

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.

If they're decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can't own anything anymore

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I'm worried.

Yeah my point was they don't have a political agenda besides what makes them the most amount of money. If trans people become universally socially accepted, they'll make movies with trans characters. If the US keeps moving to the right, they'll probably stop having minority characters altogether. All that matters to them is money.

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.

They removed Finn from the poster for the Chinese release. Star Wars is not and has never been "woke", Disney always just does what makes them the most amount of money.

A small boulder the size of a large boulder

Bumblebees fly in a very non-threatening pattern (slow and predictable). Wasps fly like they could suddenly decide to fuck you up at any moment, which is why I'm reluctant to approach them.
But I'm not afraid of regular bees so this may not be what triggers your fear. Also bumblebees are just straight up adorable
