I mean maybe haha - I think they’ve adapted to eat them just fine since then
They are a gem, them and the MinuteEarth guys.
Yes it would
tetris11@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many people would you give 10 dollars to without question?1·3 hours agoSame. I wasn’t even over 18 at the time, and they’d still ask
tetris11@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many people would you give 10 dollars to without question?3·3 hours agoOkay, imagine you’re down at the pub, and that actor from GoT comes in surrounded by a horde of screaming girls. He clearly just wants a drink and to be left alone, but can’t shake off the fans. The bar stool next to you is free, and you have an expression of utter repulsion on your face to ward off anyone. He’s eyeing the seat and your face with desperation. Do you let him sit with you, or do you tell him to piss off to another pub?

You notice that his hand is down the front of his trousers, and if he’s hiding anything there it’s either small or non-lethal. Suze is looking at you. What do you do?

Do you take the kebab without leaving, or do you report him to the police for failure of duty?

Think of an expanding balloon as the universe, and the paperbag as the expanding multiverse. Now assuming a uniform conservative rate of 1.5 marvel movies a year, how much does the paper bag fill with vomit before the balloon bursts?

You originally say no, but then three of his schoolmates come in too and one of them looks like he’s holding a sharpened ruler. How many chips do you buy assuming you want to leave the shop?

If one of them is named Kev and knew your mate’s sister, and all but one were wearing Adidas or Nike, would that double or halve your generosity?
I’m just going to jump on the bandwagon and helpfully say; think of the universe as a large expanding paper bag.
Initially it was flat, but then the bagger expanded it in the third dimension and put bananas in it. Imagine now that you are one of those bananas, but oh no, here comes the 2L Pepsi bottle ready to crush us. Thankfully the bagger takes us out of the bag first, puts the cola bottle in, and then puts us back in on top.
And that’s why I believe in God
Doesn’t the balloon have a centre of mass that we can adjust coordinates to… all the time… at millions of km per second.
Okay, I see your point.
Hey kid, its me ur fren, komputa.
Give gipsy lady money.
He did, yes, juiciest motherfucker you ever ate
