I mean you can check my math, I just added up all the births per year in this article

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/06/12/how-many-people-were-born-the-year-you-were-born/111928356/

Rounding to one significant figure, it’s 311.9 million people born in the US between 1933 and 2018. Adding an average of 4 million births per year since then, it’s 335.9. I rounded up to 350 to bring it to a nice round number

A bit of research tells me that around 44.8 million of us are first generation immigrants, so 291.1 million were born here. Is it reasonable to assume that 291.1 out of the 335.9 million people born since 1933 have survived so far? I have absolutely no idea, I’m not a professional census taker

I’ve never met a person in real life who got upset because someone used the wrong pronoun once. Assuming people’s gender is fine, as long as you don’t double down on your assumption when someone corrects you

It does, and it also refers to individuals, and it has for hundreds of years

People who live their entire lives on the internet have no idea how humans actually react to things in real life. They’ve been trained to assume that literally anything they do or say could be considered offensive to someone

I don’t think we’ve gone through 999 million options yet. Only about 350 million people have been born since 1933, so even if we add all 127 million US citizens alive in 1935, that’s just over half of the possible social security numbers.

The reason we’ve likely reused numbers is because they weren’t randomly assigned until like 2011. Knowing that I was born in 1995 in Wichita, KS, you could make an educated guess at the first three digits of my SSN

At this point, I check every comment I leave on the platform in an incognito window. A good half of them get shadowremoved for no reason. How do they not get that new users are going to leave if nobody reads, votes on, or replies to their comments?

I’ve had like 5 comments shadowremoved from the conservative subreddit because I guess the large oceanographic feature south of the United States gets caught in their word filter, and they hate the Constitution

Scheven, schfourteen-teen…

BLAM

I can’t count that high…

Yuuup. Or they’ll remove “problematic” storylines. Part of why it’s not only morally justified, but morally imperative to pirate your favorite shows. Won’t be long before Disney is erasing all the gays from all the shows because the current administration wants them to

Dungeon Meshi and Castlevania were worth pirating

Hell yeah

Look man, not one goddamn person who worked on Xam’d is getting a red penny from me paying to watch it legally. I’m not gonna reward some corporation whose only contribution was having enough money to buy the rights to make money off of it. Piracy is actually the only ethical way to consume most older media

Lain is what prompted me to switch to Linux! Watching a character who doesn’t yet understand computers fuck around with a computer really inspired me to fuck around with my computer

“Anything over one gram of salt per two pounds of body weight is cause for concern,” which means for a 5 lbs cat, it would take 2.5 grams of salt to cause concern. That is approximately 10 small orders of fries at McDonald’s, or two entire bags of salty ass chips

Of course they get sodium from their food so don’t feed them chips, but also yeah they can eat a ton of salt

With RFK in charge, I give it 3 months before all regulations on canned goods are rescinded, and one year before people start dying from botulism left right and center. And we’ll all put up with it, because it’s mainly the poors eating canned food anyway, and we don’t have the wherewithal to revolt

Lmao if medieval serfs could reliably get paid to have nude portraits drawn and sent across the world they would do it too

Friendly reminder that your grandparents were at least as degenerate as you, they just didn’t have smartphone cameras 24/7

Perfect, thank you!

I need a new password for my bank account. Any suggestions?

Meanwhile I just opened Stardew for the first time in 6 months and my pup just gave me some bone shards for petting him

It’s a good thing we keep historically unprecedented numbers of live animals in historically unprecedented close quarters. The beef and dairy industry has made some great strides in ending the human race

You can’t get more information out of the pictures than there is in the pictures. The most an upscaler can do is make the equivalent of an artist’s interpretation of a 4k picture.
