I feel like if every billionaire in the world donated even 1% of their wealth, the world would be a much better place

update: my bored insomniac arse decided to do a little maths

assuming the bare minimum that each billionate has £1,000,000,000 each, 1% of 1 billion is 10 million. there's 3,028 billionares worldwide so if each of them donated 1% (10,000,000 x 3,028) that'd be a WHOPPING £30,280,000,000 and that's a very conservative estimate

it's like different shapes of pasta all over again

To see diagram progressions like this is really sad. like a beautiful rainforest gradually being chipped away into nothing. same perps too considering the vast majority of Israelis are European

100% this. calling it a "looming collapse" is downplaying things. the photos I've seen are nothing short of post apocalyptic. people are still trying to survive amid the rubble. once you reach a certain point of loss of infrastructure the chances of recovery are poor. and this is a place where half the population are children, nontheless, which makes it even worse. so sick of people including the media downplaying a genocide

by guards I meant the guard brackets which help prevent accidental movement (source) but I agree I just can't see this being done accidentally. the look and feel of the switches are just so different it'd be almost like mistaking a red light for a green one with normal colour vision or something. it's still early days so i'm sure more will come out about the history of the pilots with time. if this does turn out to be intentional it's pretty scary because it's something that's unrecoverable at that phase of flight if it happens and that needs to not happen again

ikr it's so tinny and weird. My monitor has pretty crap speakers but I'll take that over listening to music on a phone anyway lol

both pilots were experienced and had also passed breathalyser tests before the flight too (source)

If I remember correctly, those switches need to be physically lifted up and rotated for the engines to switch from RUN to CUTOFF. there's also physical guards there to prevent pilots from knocking them. here's a diagram of the layout (source).

I've read theories that the pilot who manipulated the fuel switches could've mistook them for the stabiliser cutout switch but the switches are very different. the timing is also sus because it would've been at just the right time for things to have not been recoverable. 10 seconds earlier and the takeoff could've been aborted, 10 seconds later and the plane could've had enough altitude and speed to land in a safer area. also the way the pilot reacted to the other pilot suggests he saw the other pilot shut off the fuel to both engines one after the other and was in a state of shock

Love this, also pigeons ❤️

this is like some wacky epiphany I'd have while absolutely zooted lmao I love it 😂

Lawful Good

Humanity gives me hope again 🤘 👍

It's normal it's just highly compressed so decompression is pretty CPU intensive, nothing to worry about as long as it was downloaded from the real Fitgirl Repacks site and not some dodgy knockoff version

Still find it absolutely amazing the moon landing happened in the 1960s, back when the Boeing 707 was popular. just amazing what humanity can achieve with the right priorities

God that's so backhanded. it'd be like him saying "you're so smart for a woman, which university did you go to?" it comes from the assumption people from other countries are dumb or something. also he himself can barely form a coherent string of words together so... lol
