I disagree. For example, you might take your car for a trip to a big box store outside of town, but you might take your bike or walk to shop for groceries at your local supermarket. So even if you adjust for number of trips, the car will naturally account for a much larger distance.

In my opinion it is much more interesting to know how likely you are to be injured or killed on any given trip than, say, every 100 km of walking or driving.

Not to say that adjusting for distance can never be useful, but in this case I’m not sure it would add as much meaning.

This is in France. Los of people walk rather than drive. It would be interesting to see the numbers adjusted for number of trips, though.

I love how the book says that no one has observed electricity, yet it has a picture of a lightning bolt on the cover 🤦

Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Damn… yeah those samples suggest ~6–8mg of plastic per gram of sample tissue in the brains from 2024 😟 That would be like 10 grams in an entire adult brain if the distribution is even.

“Thankfully” it looks like the brain has the highest concentration of all studied organs 🙃

Well, that’s the most horrifying thing I read in a while…

!academiagonewild@lemmy.world would probably dig this.

I have no idea what you’re asking, but if you don’t know what the comic is referencing, it is the very real graphic novel Maus.

I’ve always tried to tell my SO this, but she’s been skeptical. Now, we’re renting a smaller apartment while renovating our bath, and she absolutely detests having only one sink basin!

The original post (not shown in the screenshot) is from PBS, that’s why it says “Author” by their name. If it was in English (likely) it makes sense to answer in English as well.

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” is a famous quote from Hamlet (the Shakespeare play).

Now that is a great use of 3D graphics! Love the detail of having the weight for the wind-up mechanism react to the motion when you rotate the movement quickly ✨

I recommend the channel Wristwatch Revival on YouTube if you want to see actual watches being picked apart, cleaned, and put back together.

Circle of stars Druid! 🤩

“Système d’exploitation” feels like an apt description of Windows 11 😆

The domestication of wolves happened between 15000 and 40000 years ago. That mug is “only” 2400 years old.

I doubt any country in Europe would want a dude with a Masters in English and MFA in creative writing

Don’t be too sure! We’ll need to build a lot of digital services if we want to end our reliance on US big tech, and digital services need a lot of copywriting…

It’s like barrel-aged whisky: It means they’ve spent at least 18 months in a combat-ridden environment! /s

The last three are just plain sensible, though! Okay, maybe not socialize veterinary medicine, although we could probably afford it if we beheaded the billionaires…
