Kbin_space_program, to memes in literally no clue

Not just the bees, all bugs in North America have seen a 75% die off in the last 20 years.

Big shocker that songbirds, which eat those bugs, have also seen a massive die off.

Despite those deniers that still blame housecats, the true culprit is almost certainly pollution and pesticides.

Kbin_space_program, to comicstrips in SSB is a little messed up, when you think about it. [Safely Endangered]

SSB is toys of those characters. That's why they turn into figures and why all of the items are figures.

And why the final boss is a hand.

Kbin_space_program, to memes in They don't understand. We built these machines so that we can work more.

Because the Greeks you hear about were the aristocracy. You don't hear how some estimates of the population breakdown were more than 80%-90% slaves.

Just like how you hear of the 300 Spartans, but not the several thousand Thebians, most of whom were slaves, who also defended the pass.

Kbin_space_program, to memes in Does mountain dew taste better than black tea? Yes. Does it also cost 30 times as much to get the caffeine fix? Yes.

Sorry, mountain dew tastes better than tea?

What garbage store brand floor scrapings sorry ass tea have you tried.

It's not even right, since the French were the ones that stole most of the artifacts out of Egypt. Then the English stole them from the French.

Kbin_space_program, (edited ) to memes in When JohnSmith126754 starts defending Tim Allen.. Ps Tim Allen a POS if you didn't know.

Maybe you shouldn't use the "leave Britney alone" dude for that given that what she went through was because we didn't listen to her or leave her alone.

Kbin_space_program, to memes in Is the industry really this creatively bankrupt?

In a word, Yes.

The music industry, like the movie industry and video game industry, wants guaranteed hits. What better way to guarantee a hit than to rehash some old thing that is now more than 7 years old. (And falling!)

Kbin_space_program, to starwarsmemes in Woooosh!

Sir Christopher Lee: schooled the LOTR crew on precisely what it sounds like to stab a man in the back.

This. Civil War's final fight scene is hugely overrated. Iron man by that point had tangled with multiple fighter aircraft, dozens of missile armed drones, Thor and more. Goes down to two strong guys punching him.

Even before Endgame, there were some stinkers.

It's one of the reasons why Guardians of the Galaxy was so popular, it changed the formula.

And then Frasier is just that captain's personal holodeck program?

Kbin_space_program, to risa in Can we have Darmok?

It could have been cheesily amusing if Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra was made into a run-in the Enterprise show had with the same species.

Kbin_space_program, to risa in IT WAS ONE TIME

Boy, she's really haunted by that.

Kbin_space_program, (edited ) to memes in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

looks at ICBC, BC Hydro and BC Ferries.

Looks at how Canadian ISPs led the world in early internet technology then once privatized, ignored it and allowed Nortel to be infiltrated and shut down by CCP spies, allowing then to steal 5G technology.

Hell, in Vancouver you have the private Canada /RAV line, and the public Skytrain line. One was built in the 1980s and isn't at capacity yet and the private one was finished in 2008 and is already over capacity.

Yeah there really is 0 comparison between public and private.

Kbin_space_program, to memes in What did Canada do?

Canada's Hundred Days. Aka the last 100 days of WW1.

Functionally, Canada won WW1 for the allies.

Being under 10% of the WW1 force, in that period they tackled defences everyone else thought impregnable and shattered them, like the Hindenburg Line, and in the process paved the way for the allied advance. They also took out a quarter of the German forces in that time.

While they did arguably use proto-blitzkrieg tactics of using lots of machine guns, and then also using vehicles to move troops even quicker while using said machine guns, one of the biggest factors was a prodigious use of chemical weapons.

To the point that in the interwar period, Canada had the largest capacity and stores of chemical weapons. During WW2, said stockpile is one of the reasons Hitler refused to use chemical weapons on the allies.

Edit: And a lot of the rules on fair treatment of POWs and rules on capturing surrendered soldiers also stems of Canadian soldiers behaviours during WW1.

Oh certainly can't help. But we know that the pesticides and herbicides have carryon effects to unintended species. Ones that the parent companies that invented them didn't report on because they don't kill those species. Ones that don't necessarily kill them, but lead to things like the white nose fungus running amock in bats, or lead to Colony Collapse Disorder or other infections in bee colonies.
