Wow, this is so cool. I hadn’t heard of that, thanks for sharing

The term snake oil is actually especially fitting for this, due to its origins.

In Britain in the 1700s there was a somewhat common recommendation for using rattlesnake oil from the fat of the snake for skin diseases/rheumatism. The efficacy is debated but it’s got some amount of potential for change (if not help).

This turned into people in the US selling mineral oil as “snake oil” as a total panacea. So a product that actually could do stuff being used as the poster child for a completely useless product that can solve every issue ever, buy as much as you can today.

Snake oil indeed.

Man and it’s so much less hot, less heavy

I live in Denmark and find curses surprisingly casual, even fuck. I fucking like it.

This is a neat daily game, I hadn’t seen this before

There are dozens of us, dozens!

Super happy about Mamdani as well, especially as a NYer. The state of the US has been really rough for years but just especially ramping up recently. It’s cool to see the opposition to it rise up, and I love supporting it as much as I can from afar.

Well Jimmy Carter won’t be exactly aligned with me on a Foreign affairs issue so I think we might as well just support Putin

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I mean, Trump is just the marketing of a president. All sizzle, no steak. He has appeared in debates but it’s a huge stretch to say he’s shown up well in them.

In fact, a lot of politics are purely a popularity contest these days, aren’t they?

American who lives in Scandinavia now:

Yup. Bernie Sanders would be pretty center here imo

Or kpop? Maybe against demon hunting?

Sounds a little demon-esque to be anti demon hunting

From a brief look at the blurry screenshot, looks like a sunny and decent temperature day in Manhattan, depending on where in the city and time: yeah. I could definitely see that level of people fairly consistently

True of not only NY, but other big cities across the world as well. That would be light foot traffic for Shanghai for example

Buck it

Not faster than south Korea right?

Okay, I’m super far from a biological/genealogical scientist. What’s promising about that?

When people ask what I miss about the US that’s my first answer.

And it is soooooo stable! Virtually no oxidization, easy to clean and remelt/recast. It holds its physical properties insanely well

It really couldn’t be a better car for this
