Not sure. I heard a podcast about one of his books
So you never actually read the book, but you’re spouting an opinion about the book?
I thought I left shit like this on reddit.
If you get your opinions from podcasts, your opinion is invalid. Read the source material.
We haven’t had deaths on the scale of WWI or the Spanish Flu since those events.
WWII had 3-5 times the number of deaths (depending on whose numbers you trust) as WWI though? Like, it’s not even close. Even using the highest estimate for WWI (22 million) and the lowest estimate for WWII (70 million) WWII was more than triple the deaths.
The global population at the time of WWI was ~1.8 billion, and at the time of WWII is was 2.3 billion.
So in terms of of percent of the world population, WWI loses.
I will concede that the Spanish flu was a lot worse than COVID.
Wasn’t that literally the purpose of grog? A mixture of beer and water used on ships to kill harmful bacteria that would grow in the ships’ water stores over a long voyage?
Grog was a mixture of rum, water, and lime juice. Beer does not have enough of an alcohol content to have any antibacterial impact. Your basic premise is flawed.
The main reasons grog was invented were twofold, first and foremost, it diluted the alcohol to manage the sailors’ intoxication levels (much like drinking a rum and Coke does today). Secondly, the addition of lime juice helped fight off scurvy (leading to British sailors being called “limeys”).
While it did improve the flavor of stale water, the disinfecting properties have been greatly exaggerated over time.
We essentially had a plague in 2020, and there are multiple wars going on as we speak. Those factors didn’t disappear.
Damn, I just went on /b/ for the first time in like 20 years. It’s as terrible as it ever was.
Old man orgy.
That one doesn’t seem too bad to me. Shrimp are often eaten cold, and with lime. So cold shrimp in lime Jello might actually slap.
Not exactly what you asked, but Myreli makes a bitter melon flavored gummy.
His base does though, and that’s what matters. There’s a Trump/MAGA merch store in the same shopping center as the liquor store I frequent, and they’re making bank. I’ve never seen that store empty.
There was a Trump rally in my area in 2016, and the line of people waiting to get in was so long that the State Troopers shut down a lane of the highway to make room for more people.
Remember the dad who murdered his own daughter over an argument about Trump? Do you think that guy would say Trump has charisma?
I personally can’t stand Trump, but he definitely has “A personal magic of leadership arousing special popular loyalty or enthusiasm for a public figure (such as a political leader).”, which is literally the definition of charisma.
I bet she didn’t even eat the sticker.
I head over to YouTube and put on videos of old NFL games. The announcers talking puts me to sleep.
I was on reddit every day for damn near 20 years, and if I’m being 100% honest, the fediverse is 10,000% better. The only problem is that not enough people interact. I’ve never seen a post with more than like 200 comments. It feels a bit empty here. But, on the other hand, 200 decent comments is better than 2000 shitty ones.
Once this place gets a few more users, it’s gonna be the GOAT.
I’m 51, and my oldest grandchild is 17. I could theoretically be a great grandparent right now, if my granddaughter repeated her father’s (and my) pattern. My son was born when I was 19, and he got his High School girlfriend pregnant when they were both Freshmen.
Most days, I sleep 4-6 hours. But I work 12 hour shifts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When I get out of work on Sunday I’m fucking exhausted, and I’ll sleep 10-12 hours.
Not only did he win, he got more than twice the votes as the second place guy. He won literally every county, and not by small margins.

When I was little, my mom used to send me to the store with a note that said to sell me cigarettes, and that they were for her. When I started smoking, I used to reuse the notes to get my own smokes. I got my first fake ID at 13 so I could buy beer.
Why did he shock his dog? Not that there is any reasonable justification, I just want context.
When I was 3 months old, my mom gave me a wool blanket with two lion cubs on it. I’m 51 now, and I’m currently warm and cozy under that same blanket. It’s honestly my most prized possession.
Looking at the second pic, a Bar S hot dog is ~20mm in diameter, and that fish appears to be about 5 hot dog sections long, so I’d say it’s like 90-110mm long so roughly 4 inches in Imperial.
