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

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.

That sucks but you'd be hard pressed to find a more convenient time to shit yourself. You hadn't even gotten dressed yet, you're not in public. You could have taken this one to the grave if you wanted to

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

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.

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
