The unfunnyness is the point, IMO. The sub is an Agrajag-like Cathedral of Hate and masochism dojo rolled into one.

Big head-to-body ratio = juvenile features = cute.

Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster@lemmy.sdf.org was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I’m not even sure what i thought was between them…

Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means “Croat”.

And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it’d be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala.

Something moving that fast wouldn’t stay “north” of anyone’s location long enough for them to finish saying that…

Flashbacks of “Whirlwind” by James Clavell…

The last graph: how in the world is Russia spending more than twice as much as the whole of Europe on research?

TIL, thank you.

The NSA officer standing behind Biden: “Did Mr. President stutter?”

No, not really. This has been happening for almost a decade, it’s not something that just started.

Are we all just going to ignore aquariums?

The… the yolk? You have quite the eggcentric inclination!

So what does “equivalent to a firehose” mean in this case? What area per firehose? A football stadium per firehose? An Olympic swimming pool? An average room? A jar?

EDIT: I think it’s about one firehose per 10x10 meter area, so like a couple of rooms worth of area. It’s not that bad. I bet rainfalls like that do happen for a few minutes in taiphoons and such.

There is. You just need to spread out the deceleration from a few centimeters to a few meters in the falling direction, and make sure the force is being applied all over their body, not just a few spots (think bouncy castle vs rebar).

I’m missing this one. What’s the joke here?

Sure you are.

“Selection by drawing lots.”

I doubt it, that would be too much of a coincidence to have two people named Torvalds in one picture.
