  • The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22% since 2007, a sustained decline not readily explained by economic conditions, contraceptive use, housing or childcare costs, or other commonly cited factors.

    “I will now present no evidence whatsoever that falling birth rates haven’t been driven by economic factors.” Bull shit.

    Fucking unhinged. We’ve had what, three? “once in a lifetime” crashes since 2007, with skyrocketing housing prices and costs of living vs comparatively flat wage growth. Inequality is rising, fascism is making a comeback around the globe, we’ve likely already hit numerous climate tipping points, child labour laws are being rolled back, oligarchs are floating bringing back corporate towns, but sure champ, people having easier access to porn is responsible for lower birth rates…







  • He became the subject of considerable international media coverage after escaping from his enclosure

    Wait, so their enclosure was shitty enough that the gorilla could’ve left any time but didn’t until he was provoked, and their solution wasn’t to fix the cage, but to make everyone wear silly glasses?



  • Man it’s been over 25 years since I watched Titanic; 95% of the memory I retained of that film is boobs and the other 5% was actually Thumbtanic. I dunno how you expect anyone to instantly recall this scene from a single frame unless you were one of those hardcore fans who saw it nine times in the cinema.

    Garage sales! Holy shit garage sales used to be so fucking awesome. As a 12-15 year old I scored so much computer stuff dirt cheap at garage sales, along with books and music. Just about every Saturday in the summer you could see me with a box precariously balanced or a shopping bag hanging from my bike’s handlebars.

    Nowadays everything worth more than a couple bucks goes up on FB marketplace and Kijiji, and the only stuff anyone puts in a garage sale is actual garbage that the thrift stores wouldn’t even put on the shelf.
