Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
  • And don't forget all those overseas territories, too.

  • Guinea pig production for consumption
  • No, that's a cryptid from the Americas. You're thinking of a chimichanga.

  • Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter
  • I get it for countries where their self-preservation is on the line (Taiwan) or where it's simply been national policy since the dawn of time (Switzerland), but it's definitely different when it's for a dictatorial, unpopular, or corrupt government.

  • Staying at the top.
  • It's still a thing, but it just gives you keys to use on other storefronts.

    And it's owned by IGN now.

  • Jon Stewart is back on The Daily Show
  • I'd like to see him come back for an episode and try to play the right-wing pundit satirization, only to keep getting out-crazied by the actual right-wing pundits.

  • A nice chill trolley ride
  • The man on the left could see the curve, and what was on it.

  • Joe Biden wins primary election in New Hampshire despite not even being on the ballot
  • Essentially, the DNC decided to shake up the primary season by shuffling the traditional order of primaries, and had South Carolina as the first primary in February. New Hampshire has a state law requiring them to be the first primary, so they could either break state law or defy the DNC. (Keep in mind that parties are technically private organizations, so I don't know how state law can force them to do that, but American elections are weird, and I'm Canadian.) The Republican-controlled NH government decided on defying the DNC, so although they technically held a primary, it was not sanctioned or authorized, and thus the DNC disallows contenders from appearing on the ballot, which Biden complied with. I believe the DNC has also invalidated the electors as a result, so they might not even count them at the convention.

    TDLR; DNC changes primary schedule, Republican NH says "by law we go first", DNC declares NH primary unsanctioned and tells candidates to stay off the ballot.

  • Mouth
  • The children yearn for the mines, the chickens yearn for the mouth.

  • ‘Energy independent’ Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months
  • Except once you have the turbines and panels, you don't have to keep importing resources to run them. Sure, you might need parts for maintenance, but if things go south it's a lot easier to reverse engineer parts than to find new oil suppliers.

  • Unstoppable!
  • They're shounen anime characters. They just need to slightly move their blade and suddenly they've attacked a dozen times.

  • running out of memes so spellings of cat rule
  • Where is my STARDENBURDENHARDENBART?

  • Firefox is the only way.
  • I remember using Netscape to search the web with Altavista way back in the day.

  • But have you tried Jerboa?
  • holy hell

  • The definition of "insanity"
  • To be precise, he's sueing the lawyers Twitter hired in the case to force him to buy, as Twitter paid them a bunch of money they weren't legally obligated to pay, just before the purchase went through.

  • Improved Incel vs. Excel
  • A reference to WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants), I guess since the incel and white supremacist movements overlap somewhat.

  • complacency rule
  • Where are the Ben Garrison cum edits?? That's what I need here.

  • Olivia Chow elected Toronto's next mayor in unexpectedly tight race | CBC News
  • It probably has to do with Tory's last-minute endorsement. Any poll that included him had him winning by a country mile.

  • I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.
  • Yeah, I just said that I'm coming from Reddit and my username is what I've always used, and I got approved within a minute.
