Well sure, but if you think about the fact that there are 8.1 billion people in the world and then consider that if you’re really lucky you might live to 100… That’s (365 × 100) × (60k ÷ 8.1b) × (100%)… You only have a 27% chance of dying this way… Honestly didn’t expect it to be that high.

Godnroc,

Did you know you have a 27% chance of dying in your sleep at some point in your lifetime? Hi, I’m Celebrity Personality and with your help, and your generous donation of the cost of a cup of coffee, we can reduce that number and help keep people safe.

ArcaneSlime,

Hello Arithmetic Wizard, I have the ADHD and math anxiety if not full on Dyscalculia so I was wondering if I could employ your help to figure out a formula for the likelihood of dying from something that kills 500 out of 333,287,557 people yearly?

My best translation from your equation is: (365 x 100) x (500 ÷ 333,287,557) x (100%), but I feel like that would be slightly off because I suck at this.

phorq,

I doubt my math is correct, I always sucked at statistics, but if you were to convert my previous nonsense you wouldn’t multiply by 365 since you already have the yearly rate rather than the daily rate so it would be: (100) × (500 ÷ 333,287,557) × (100%) = 0.015%

ArcaneSlime,

Well hey it works for me lol, right or not! Thank you!

Ohh no how can they not include me in their plan after i burn the bridges with them

jewbacca117,

Oh no, the consequences of my own actions!

RizzRustbolt,

Why won’t the EU help me fix all these burnt bridges?

Zevlen,

'Merica ; " why won’t EU take care of our homeless population and adopt them / refugee them to EU? I mean… We gave them like military bases n guns n shit… come on !

Zevlen,

Dude, who cares about Australia n Britain being left out?.. They left my mighty 'Merica out of the picture! 😔🖼️ SMH

WaxedWookie, in How could the EU do this??

Those scheming betrayers also left Australia out of the transport plan for EU members.

How much lead paint do you need to eat to see the loaded language in these headlines and think “yeah - seems legit.”

13esq, (edited )

That’s Switzerland. (not a member of the EU)

Imagine speaking with such authority whilst simultaneously lacking such a basic understanding of Europe.

Which 70 cretins upvoted this arse water?

WaxedWookie,

So the EU isn’t allowed to cooperate with a country (that’s at least part of the single market and contiguous continent), because they saw no value in including Britain, and that was a scheming betrayal?

What point are you failing to make here?

13esq, (edited )

I don’t think that they’re refusing to cooperate. I think they’re looking after their own members and why wouldn’t they? Are you suggesting that they give the same benefits to member states as non-member states? If so, why wouldn’t everyone leave?

Are you going to adress that you don’t know the difference between Austria and Switzerland or am I just getting suckered in to feeding the troll? Coz if you’re trolling then you’re actually very funny but I’m probably too autistic to tell.

qarbone,

It said ‘Australia’, not ‘Austria’. You know, ‘Australia’…the one in Oceania. Probably highlighting the ridiculousness of a country so removed from the continet feeling slighted for not being included in plans for the EU.

You suckered yourself into looking like an arse.

13esq,

Oh. Oops! Haha

BleatingZombie,

Which 4 cretins upvoted this?

13esq,

I guess some people like it when they see someone admit a mistake.

dubyakay,

At least you can add an edit to your original post now.

Not like upvoted or down votes truly matter on this platform.

    Just make sure the main plot happens in the first 3 seconds or else they will get bored

    zalgotext,

    At the very least make sure Subway Surfers is playing in one of the corners

    xrtxn,

    Akschually filming it vertically is not good because we can’t insert subway surfers gameplay under the movie. It should be filmed like a small rectangle

    At first I thought it was just a method to avoid copyright detection. It may have started as that but the 22yr old I live with says it gives people something else to do while watching the movie so they don’t get bored.

    Jackthelad, in How could the EU do this??

    This is from the Daily Express, which is a paper that’s full of these sort of ragebait, horseshit headlines.

    Zekas,

    Ragebait for tories, perhaps. I find it delicious

    Skua,

    Notably it was the first major paper to back Brexit. They should be delighted about this. Fucking mould-ridden wankstains.

    “You guys are taking vacations?” meme

    Son_of_dad,

    This past year is the first time I’ve had a job that gives me vacation days. My vacation consisted of my couch and my PlayStation. That’s really all I could afford.

    This year the wife and I are going to Niagara falls (2 hours from us) for the weekend, so that’s kind of a vacation. But that’s the most I’ve been able to afford in the last 10 years.

    Why are there roads through Switzerland

    sp451,

    Why not? Makes sense for quick connections from Germany to Italy

    BB69,

    Switzerland isn’t in the EU?

    sp451,

    That is correct. That’s why it has a different color than the EU countries

    Hyperreality, (edited )

    Part of Schengen, part of the European Free Trade Association, signed a lot of bilateral treaties and enacted a lot of EU legislation, contributed to EU projects.

    The Swiss electorate voted against becoming part of the EU, but the EU's a huge market so Switzerland is quite integrated with the EU while still being independent.

    Norway isn't part of the EU either, but they're in a similar position as Switzerland, which is probably why they're also part of this proposal.

    GenEcon,

    Switzerland is also a lot more integrated than GB. Remember when we discussed hard vs. soft brexit? Soft Brexit would have left GB in a similar state like Switzerland and Norway. But we got a hard brexit.

    possiblylinux127,

    Honestly we should just flatten Switzerland with nukes as its just a waste of space.

    Skua,

    Nonsense. We should swap it with Scotland, since both are beautiful mountainous countries with reasonably similar land areas and population, but on the whole Scots want to be in the EU and Switzerlanders don't

    lurch,

    So you can get through as quick as possible and don’t have to get out in this weirdo country /s

    li10, in "Ar... Are you okay?"

    It’s the one main genre I just don’t get. There are a few bands I like, but that’s usually because they bridge a gap between metal and hard rock.

    I think it’s the vocals that usually put me off.

    TIMMAY,

    Yeah I feel exactly the same way, as well as I find metal to just be super overbearing. Somewhat monotonous in a high-energy way, though I definitely cant say this as a generalization of the genre because i have probably been exposed to only a VERY small subset of it

    I was mocking too, but things changed when a phone became the device to play back videos. At this point the orientation didn’t matter as much.

    It got to the point that some services, like YouTube shorts pretty much mandate vertical orientation.

    ChapulinColorado,

    Cursing those services to never be seen on desktop devices because they look so wasteful of screen real state.

    bdonvr,

    It’s not so bad when your secondary monitor is vertical lmao

    JPJones,

    Sure, but then you’re viewing it on your secondary monitor.

    AltheaHunter,

    You don’t always need to use every bit of screen real estate. The goal is watching videos, not min-maxing monitor usage.

    Meowoem,

    I actually prefer them to landscape because like a growing amount of people I only watch YouTube on the right side of my screen and use the left for work, drawing, or if course internet browsing and chat windows.

    ramirezmike,

    it’s not stupid if that’s the format it gets viewed most in

    JPJones,

    Rotate your phone you dirty savage! Or don’t idc really.

    stolid_agnostic,

    I think you just proved the meme lol

    ramirezmike, (edited )

    all I’m saying is if you’re recording something for tiktok or Instagram, it’s going to look best if it’s recorded vertically

    ExtraMedicated,

    Yes, but we also hate tiktok and instagram.

    vaultdweller013,

    Hell I refuse to acknowledge either, mind you I also dont enjoy the content of either.

    Anemia,

    How is this controversial. If its made to be viewed on a phone then I don’t see the reason to film hoizontally. Epecially the type of content that most people seem to make on like tiktok etc. seems better in vertical view.

    ramirezmike,

    it looks like it’s controversial because any app that has vertical content must be terrible 🤷‍♂️

    Anemia,

    I mean I don’t perticularly like the content of any of those apps (lemmy is the only real social media i use). But that doesn’t change the fact that they are using the correct format for the job.

    ramirezmike,

    don’t get me wrong, I agree. Furthermore, despite the problems with apps like TikTok, I do think there’s an incredible amount of amazing content created on that platform. It can be such a showcase of the creativity of the average person, it just sucks that it’s pretty objectively terrible in multiple ways.

    Sl00k,

    Lemmy definitely showing its older age skew here lol. Almost anything related to any social media will be better vertical. (Even lemmy itself ironically)

    Hell the vertical video trend on TikTok this year was a phenomenal trend and I even recall seeing A24 doing a vertical trailer cut just for TikTok.

    SpiceyDejarik,

    I think it depends on your intended audience. If what you’re filming is meant to be viewed on a phone, then vertical makes sense. If the video is meant to be viewed on a TV, movie screen, or computer monitor, then rotate your phone.
