Has there ever been a less wtf fact than humans having more empathy for dogs than other humans? Other humans suck ass, dogs rule

Of course we treat dogs better than humans. Dogs are way better than humans.

How backwards is Swaziland? It's almost 2018, witches should be allowed to fly at least 300 meters.

The joke is not the height witches are allowed to fly, the joke is that Swaziland doesn't exist

Dubious sources. Some of these are facts. Some are myths. Some are straight up lies. Shame.

It's hard to beat with just the Hoover Dam alone, not even getting into that was the century of urbanization.
vowofloudness
The Hoover Dam used 2,480,000 m3 of concrete, while The Three Gorges Dam used 27,200,000. Not all between 2011-2013, but still.

#2, if Americans use concrete to build houses, houses could be way much more fire resistant. RIP for those lost houses in CA fires.
ImNotSureWhatAGoodUserNameIsSoThisWillHaveToDo
They would also be way more expensive and would need more earthquake-proofing,but in CA, the land is worth more than the house, so it's good
dujvvbkifssjn
Not a single house/apt in any cities in China built with wood, they rich? Cost isn’t the issue. no, land here CA is just 30% of the house.

I was referring to the locations with $1,000,000 3 bed, 2 bath houses that you could get for ~$300,000 in the center states.

#7 Bullshit. No neurologist would ever use the term "rewire" or entertain the notion that we have an actual active influence on our brain.

Also: LONG personal experience says that it just makes me angrier. Both stronger & more frequently.

In short, it appears that you're ignoring the concept of Classical Conditioning, also known as the Pavlov response.

The factoid is wrong to say it makes you 'more loving', but not responding to anger with aggression decreases aggression overall.

In 2003, vacuum trains were developed for the London Underground to remove the iron and silica dust. The factoid is outdated.

Wipe in your nostrils with a damp tissue after one journey on the Northern line, it's still plenty dusty

Lines with sealed trains were significantly better for passengers.

After further research - If you're commuting, avoid the Victoria and Northern lines. These have trains with opening windows.
