Fewer than 50% of the cells in "your body" contain your own DNA.

There are many more bacteria, since they are much much smaller than "your own" eukaryotic cells.

Where you end and your "gut flora" begin and end is not as clear as you might first believe.

Trump was elected in 2016 because he got on twitter and was a birther dickhead.

Democrats ran Hillary and that was just a bridge too far for some Americans.

Democrats ran an old white man in 2020 and won.

2024 Democrats are running a black woman. Is that a bridge too far for Middle Amerikkka?

Yes. But the border is drawn where the river used to be.

Non-utilitized internet service.

Internet providers ARE UTILITIES. Regulate them like one.

I assume you are American, and probably not Hispanic?

Because these assumptions are extremely cultural.

Anyways, for white Americans "Self-sufficiency" (or Self-reliance as Ralph Waldo Emmerson called an extreme version of it) is an old Puritan value, like hardwork and lifelong monogamy.

The credit score is based on how much money the banks think they can make off of you, not your moral standing.

You haven't lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.

Bros, this is really easy: The US Air Force was developing all sorts of secret stuff during the Cold War, to keep it secret from, you know, the Russians.

When a secret spy balloon crashed in a public place in Roswell, the Air Force didn't answer any direct questions and when someone asked if it could be aliens, their reply was, "it can be whatever you want!"

Part 2: Everyone forgot all about the whole event for 30 years, because it was completely unremarkable. Then, after the Watergate scandal, everyone was super suspicious of the government, because one conspiracy had just turned out to be true. And one guy got on the radio and was like, "yeah well the government even has aliens, remember Roswell?" And nobody did, so then they retold the story in the most suspicious way possible and he sold a ton of books.

And that's where aliens come from.

Electric cars are still a 3 ton object you'll needlessly try to dispose of in 5 years.

Electric cars are here to save the car companies, not the environment.
