  • I'm more surprised that the survey even had that as an option. I think the survey options were just:

    • the rich have too much
    • the poor have too much
    • they have about the same

    Kind of a braindead survey tbh and probably doesn't justify an article.

    I mean the literal definition of poor is that they don't have enough.

  • I edited my post to include metric units for those numbers.

    And sure, it's fine to say that is short from your own personal perspective but yes statistically the average height was less back then. Even so the average height today is only about 10 cm more.

    You may just be taller than average if you are that incredulous about his height. I don't consider 5'5" (1.68 m) to be that far off from the average height of men in most countries today. If he were under say 5' (1.52 m) I would say that is significantly shorter.

  • 1.68m is 5'5" which is yeah short but not too far from the (self-reported) average male height in France today which is 5'9" (1.75m) (Bayesian estimates actually say 5'7" (1.70m)). During Bonaparte's time average male height in France was 5'4" (1.62m) so he was actually taller than average by a tiny bit.

  • Average height has increased over time.

  • Put them in the front line on our war with Iran please.

  • I built a Pwnagotchi but I haven't cracked any of it's handshakes yet.

  • And all religions miraculously still have high numbers of dickheads. Some more than average.

  • I think thingiverse allows SVG or DXF files to be uploaded.

  • Looks like VanMeter shot a 26 year old who wasn't even a suspect at his house last year.

  • Lemmy is mostly people who were banned from reddit for being too toxic (I am not an exception to this rule). Gather them all together and you have Lemmy.

    Mostly we've all just learned to accept the toxicity and have thicker skin here than most other places on the internet. We do this by out-toxic-ing the other people here we don't like.

  • Don't get me wrong. The bedonked trucks rolling coal and driving like assholes should be penalized and car manufacturers should be limited in how big they keep making these things. But you're not going to get rid of trucks. Especially not in America. Good luck with the crusade though.

  • But they can't do it better than trucks can. Can a motorcycle tow a 27' travel trailer filled with all the things you need to live for an extended amount of time?

  • Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better.

    Except tow things.
