Except now the consumer has no reference for the price, which is illegal in most if not all EU member states. Not to forget that now the seller can hide the prices of products and make it impossible for a consumer to make an informed purchase. If any store, physical or otherwise, were to pull a stunt like this to me (EU as well), they'll be talking to a regulator.

For the sake of the argument, the train takes the same tracks as the trolley and the trolley service otherwise has the same budget as the US DOD.

Bold of you to assume there's a highway connection between you and the distant victim.

I didn't invent that Copypasta, it predates my comment by several years. But still, I feel honoured to be cited to inspire a meme

That was one of the first things I was thinking of. High five, comrade!

And it would have worked flawlessly if it weren't for humans, the single most metal species to have ever graced this planet, that likes to subject itself to mild and moderate suffering for amusement and recreational purposes.

If you say that something "weighs" something, that's a description of mass, not weight, because the wording is from before a time when it was understood that mass and weight are different things.

All has been said that needs to be said, bloody pedant.

You (probably should) have just read The Koala Copypasta. I hope you enjoyed 😄

Koalas are fucking horrible animals.

They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally – their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death.

This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life.

Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan.

Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal.

Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently…

Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals.

Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio… There's a trend here).

When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on.

This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why?

Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape.

Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain:

Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury… should they fall from a tree.

An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.

Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute.

If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.

That's just some of the peeps here...

Welcome to the internet.
Have a look around

And the chance of statistics being exaggerated could be about 6000%, so make of that what you will.

That's the second time in ten minutes that I bumped into a relevant xkcd this morning!

ME: no

MY DARK THOUGHTS: yes

ME: wtf‽‽

I don't watch a lot of series so that's probably Sword Art Online Abridged... x OpenTTD

So it's probably about getting stuck inside a video game but the stated goal is to build a transportation network that spans the world. And if you're bankrupt in game, you die for real.

And before any pedants crawl out of the woodwork, there are a load of implied brackets, at the spaces.

Trim the tip off that hat and this Gandalf looks straight outta a Western.

In case people would like it demonstrated,

0.25/0.5

= 1/4 ÷ 1/2

= 2/4 ÷ 2/2

= 1/2 ÷ 1

A÷1 = A, therefore 0.25/0.5 = 0.5

Alternatively, (a/b)/(c/d) = (a×d)/(b×c)

1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1×2 ÷ 4×1 = 2/4 = 1/2

Alright, that's cursed. Top tier shitpost.

Found the Extra History viewer!
