I beg you. Click the link and see what James was responding to :joy:

It doesn’t link and I’m not joining twitter just to find out.

You’re not missing anything

It’s not Twitter it’s X and I feel the same as you. In fact links to X should be banded imo!

This is interesting and shocking at the same time, scamming on a global scale.

John Oliver did a segment on Pig Butchering a couple of weeks ago that was very good

Do they believe pigs are flat or pigs haven’t been to space? Definitely wrong

the muppets have you seen my childhood GIF

This is kind of mindblowing…a map of how far someone could travel from London in a given time frame in 1914

red - 5 days
pink - 10 days
yellow - 20 days
Green - 40 days

Today we could get to the outer edges of the green in a day…limited more by delays in connections than actual travel time. Intuitively I think we all understand this, but it’s still sobering to see how much the world changed in just a few generations and then ponder what that means to our bodies and psyche.

The Titanic sank trying to break this record.

I know that is commonly thought, but it was not. It was famous because it was at the time the largest in the world, but it was not built for speed nor attempting a particularly quick crossing. It wasnt even viewed as being particularly “unsinkable”. These parts of the story were added in later, maybe as a retrospective way to explain people’s fascination with it (making it not just a story about a ship sinking, but human hubris).

And if you go back another 200 years and looked at similar map by percentage of people who had travelled X km as their furthest in their life you’d have an even more crazy map

If only the human mind were capable of keeping pace with technological advances.
