Your comment reminded me of the fun fact that there's more water in Loch Ness alone than all of England and Wales' lakes and rivers combined!

Add in all the other Scottish rivers and lakes, and you can see why Westminster is loathe to let Scotland have independence.

Some places just have a fuckton of water, and the Australian outback is not where Mad Max will take place irl in the future, but in these places.

Why? One of the candidates is standing on the platform of bringing back the monarchy. It's fitting to use British iconography.

DuckDuckGo is ultimately just Bing though, which is what MrMakabar is complaining about

And the people in the houses

All went to the university

Where they were put in boxes

And they came out all the same

And there's doctors and lawyers

And business executives

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

Only the silly parts of the UK. Some give education for free like a sensible place that gives a shit about its citizens.

Let the people who installed/created it maintain it or let a bunch of new folk do it, which is likely to work best?

The abroad part isn't the issue. We're a global village with the Internet now, after all. It's the outsourcing part that's the issue.

Am I reading correctly? Are you saying you cook pancakes in your rice cooker?

How do you do that?

It's possible to not be German and still enjoy the shape of leaves. Surprising, I know, but true

"You load 16 tons, what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt

St Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store. "

The company store is slowly making its way back in vogue

Why even use precious metals at all? What is wrong with big stick?

To be fair, what do you expect people to talk about?

5-12 comments covers most topics for a given article/meme. Any more than that, and it starts to just become a repeat of what someone else said.

Do you want to read 10 copies of "lol that meme is so me!"

I always thought it was wild that your average thread on Reddit could garner thousands upon thousands of comments, with the vast majority of them being repeats of something someone already said.

Then factor in that those same comments are in the next thread, and the next one. That's not engagement, that's insane!

The comments here are far more sparse, but they still cover all your bases. You still get the interesting info dump from some expert or hyperfocused individual who's done a bunch of reading, you still get a humorous pun or joke, and you still get the "well, actually, this is wrong because..." just, now, it's like 1 of each type instead of a thousand people all trying to crack the same joke in one thread.

Edit: to clarify, I mean 5-12 top level comments

"just"? Oh, well, when you put it like that.
