Whoever downvoted you, has never seen actual Robin Williams Standup or knows much about his political views.

Robin hated Bush Sr. and Jr., especially Jr., with a passion.

trump would send him off the deep end, as you suggested.

He was also doing statutory rape things with a minor.

Half Kelvins?

That’s not true. And another one.

TL;DR;

They can run up to 35mph over short (20-30ft) distances. Then they can run at a slightly slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).

In every scenario they can and will catch every human on earth except an Olympic sprinter. And even then, it wouldn’t be a comfortable race for them.

The reason they don’t chase you down and eat you on land, is because they’ve evolved to be ambush predators from water transitions to land. They are lazy. Simple as that. And their food comes to them in most cases. Why would they want to spend all those calories just to maybe get a un-tasty human? They conserve energy so they can perform several ambush attempts for prey, rather than one long chase.

In the end, their current approach gets them more calories for the efforts, which is why they’ve evolved that way.

But they can, on paper, absolutely wipe the floor with you in a sprint over solid, flat land. For 100 feet.

No, sorry, that’s not true. And another one.

TL;DR;

They can run 35mph in that short sprint you’re talking about. Then they can run at a slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).

Alligators can already outrun a person on land.

They just choose not to. Because they’re lazy and they don’t like running after their prey.

I suspect the same was probably true of whatever it was we killed off back then too.

OK. Where is he. I know he’s in this picture somewhere.

Evolution was all like: Ok, so which mutations would you like to advance? The venomous thing? The aquatic thing? The electrocuting enemies thing? The no stomach hack? The “Fun at parties” hack?

Platypus: Yes.

Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.

That’s a fair critique.

The issue comes down to imperialism imo.

Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.

This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They’ve been doing it for millennia, and it’s been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.

It’s also why non-western nation-states aren’t as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It’s not really a part of their ethos as a culture.

All of them. But specifically this one place my parents took me to that just started speaking in tongues right in the middle of the sermon. This went on for like, half an hour, everyone just flailing around and speaking in “tongues”, which was just them making up a bunch of gibberish.

My dad said it wasn’t a great service.

He’s right, it was the worst.

Also, that, plus many other stupid and incongruent moments led to my exodus from the church, and religion as a whole.

I’m much happier now, not being forced to attend these silly wastes of time that are church sermons.

Iirc, they’re his stunt doubles

Having been raised in a religious household and having escaped it later in life to become an engineer/science nerd, while being ostracized by my, incredibly, incredibly disappointing parents because they refuse to learn new things or acknowledge scientific studies that conflict with their religious views:

This answer is unequivocally, absolutely, a 100% correct take on humanity and their need for the “simplistic” and incorrect answers religion gives about the world around them.

I love the little kitty ear protection. We need more cat PPE.

Except most fossil fuels come from decayed plant matter.

1994 Ford Taurus.

I went over a speed hump at 5mph and the whole engine fell out of the front.

Apparently it’s not supposed to do that.

Dial up internet.

Pagers.

Not being in contact with people 24/7.

Polar Ice Caps.

I like this take the best

Holy fuck.
