Reminds me of Four-Byte Burger.

intensely_human, in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

They probably couldn’t before, but it got revised in a mandela effect update.

Also the rumors that they got their name by burrowing into sleeping people’s ears is grossly exaggerated. There have been no double blind studies showing this conclusion, and the Himalayan artwork depicting earwig-zombified villagers attacking a temple has been debunked as popular fiction art from the 14th century.

Behaviorbabe, in As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

A few of these made it into my house and my cat saved me from two crawling on the bed. I’d rather swallow a spider than have these things crawl on me. Idk what the ick factor is.

Well that’s terrifying, thank you for this new fear

Wisi_eu, in in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on

You pay 20 000 $ of taxes!!!

Agent641,

Yes, from a salary of about 90k. However this is federal tax. We dont pay individual state taxes as well. Our sales tax is built into the price of goods. Our healthcare is also completely free.

jasondj,

Comparatively, in the US a $90k USD salary is about $10,415 in federal taxes.

However, my family healthcare is about $22k in premiums alone, for a high-deductible plan. This includes the employer-paid portion, as that is part of my total compensation package. Then there is the deductible ($5k) before the insurance starts paying out. And this is not including Medicare/SS taxes as well.

This is the worst news I’ve received this month.

bradorsomething, in "I can’t help but feel a pang of inadequacy when I see the accomplishments of my old classmates."

I often am reminded by people eager to make money off my work how much more I could do.

Couldn’t host a hotdog version of this on a Japanese server without an algorithm doing the same thing to the left side of the image.

Iran used to have AC. They still do, but they used to, too.

Man Europe is hilariously small! Don’t get me wrong, it’d love to abandon the US and live there. It’s just mind blowing the perspective this map gives.

Cthulhu1,

With around 10.5 Mio square Kilometer surface it is a bit larger than the USA with around 9.8 Mio square Kilometer area.

Dim0N,

Europe is bigger than the US though.

Europe: 3,930,000 sq mi

The US: 3,794,100 sq mi

docmark,

You’re comparing continents and countries.

North America is over twice as large. So yes, from anyone on this side of the pond it’s tiny.
