Labeling a country and everyone from there as evil is textbook racism. Not all Chinese people support everything their government does. That would be like saying America is a bad actor because they do regime change and beat up people when they protest police brutality. America does those things but you'd probably be offended if someone said you were evil because you're American

TikTok is no more manipulative or destructive than any other big social media app, most of which are based in the United States. These companies have made incredibly effective manipulation machines and they use them to advertise products because the real forces you're upset about are just the same motivation behind everything that succeeds under capitalism. It's all just rich people trying to turn workers against one another and give them a bunch of distractions so they don't organize for better working conditions. Social media is the 21st century bread and circuses, blaming China for that is not accurate

You don't have to leap to defend racists you don't even know.

Reply to TIL that air is a fluid by andreasdagen
When a dense mass of air has a less dense mass of air on top of it it can even have waves like the ocean. A lot of what meteorologists do is based on fluid dynamics because weather is the side effects of these high and low pressure zones forming and interacting with each other.

Cast iron is really brittle, that's why cast iron frying pans weigh ten pounds. They have to be thick to be strong

The police use dogs to terrorize people. They can be dangerous, there's no way around that fact.

Reply to comment by michaelvsaucetookdmt in TIL Mountain Gorillas almost never drink water. They get their hydration from from their plant diet and morning dew. Despite living in rainforests, they also tend to dislike rain and try to not get wet when crossing a stream. They have never been observed drinking water in the wild before 2013 by Ainsley-Sorsby
They're surrounded by wet leaves all day, and they eat leaves that are full of water and also covered in water. They're getting plenty of water, they just don't have to go stick their face in a river to drink it

Reply to eli5: do animals have as many oral health problems as humans do? Do their teeth last the majority of their lifetime? by Chillay_90
They do, but not for the reason you're thinking. When their teeth wear down to much or get broken they can't get them fixed. If they can't eat enough food to maintain their health they will die. On the flip side sugar is relatively rare in nature, so they don't get cavities like we do. They can get them, but not like we would with our diets and no dental care. Pets that eat human food often have cavities just like us, not to mention all the other health problems that can cause.

The system is designed around magnets of a specific power, right? Wouldn't making the magnets stronger just cause problems?

Clown core is some kind of jazz fusion metal that's excellent if you like weird stuff as much as you sound like you do. It is a side project of two really talented musicians so there is a ton of technical proficiency while being very experimental at the same time.

Defense means paying your lawyers more. If they think the lawyers would cost more than a settlement then it makes sense to settle even if they don't think the lawsuit will succeed

If it was set in Australia and looked like a western it was probably one of the several movies based on ned Kelly. He was a real outlaw who made body armor out of farm equipment and had a final stand against the police

The floor. Satellites are able to scan it from space. It's not mapped to a very fine level of detail but we have basic depth data for the whole ocean

%99.99 of penises are within 1 inch from 5.5" erect. It's fine to watch porn and all but don't assume it represents average anything.
