Now I know why Bill Gates says he can get a cheeseburger when he wants one
helpusdrzaius
Because he has a McDonald's gold card.
desice
Good ref
ronnocuae
Because that's what bill gates need
shinagami091
Bill Gates has a card for unlimited free food? That's kind of redundant isn't it?
bigfrigginhammer
Bill Gates can stop world hunger with his McDonalds Gold Card!

Can I have 3 billion mcdoubles.....and a small diet coke?

Some species generate enough mutations to prevent severe inbreeding issues.
TheKingOfConquerors
Fun fact: inbreeding doesn't create mutations. It causes existing mutations to have a higher chance of being expressed.

#1 It's one thing to not believe in it. But taking the piss out of the light at the end of the tunnel is a way to not make friends.
dearbluey
I think I saw all of these as TIL posts on Reddit over the past two or three days.
flamingflamingo
i don't bother with reddit so glad they showed up here.
PuS5yD3sTr0y3R
what does TIL mean?

I hope he paid for the Gold Card.
Lunakat504
Hedgehogs aren't constantly spiky. They fluff up when annoyed. It just so happens they don't get along well with other hedgehogs usually.
mindolluin
I want a card that gets me free everything from the grocery store.
AlceCosmico
Need a Finnish person to confirm that.
thran87
Confirmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXhhlYdySqQ
ThrobbinHoodz
Why has bill got that card? He could afford to eat it every meal anyway. It wouldn't dent him financially
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
same reason why people use plastic chips instead of real coins for shopping carts.
flamingflamingo
i don't think mcdonalds loses a lot of business not asking him to pay. my guess it it was a gesture from the corporation.
zondagn
How do you think you stay rich? Not spending money.
Sephority
Bill Gates could go out to eat every day for every meal for the rest of his life and he would still be very much a billionare when he dies.
Rtuxx
its a complicated business thing having to do with wealth, advertising and brand recognition.... you wouldn't understand.
ThrobbinHoodz
Could you break that down? I didn't understand the concept
Oombaka
We get it. It's bullshit.
Danowar1990
You explain it in a way that give us the gist of it, then insist we wont understand? Really? Be a little more condescending, that'll work.
Downvotemepussy
How you not see this as a joke? You think a super wealthy snob saw this and is totally relating to gates and shitting on you simultaneously?
jollywalnut
Can you hear that whistling? Way up, above you. Look! That's the joke, flying past - over the hills and far away. Toodle-doo, joke! So long.
jollywalnut
I didn't mean to draw that out but an even 140 characters made it irresistible.
thecuteocalypseishere
The given definition of imprinting is not even grossly oversimplified, it's just wrong. Ugh.
AndrewCanadian
Thomas Paine was correct.
Angatita
That dinosaur band isn't too bad lol
ozprey
That robin looks pissed!
HarryHobo97
#1 Ik religion is an infamously touchy topic, but it supports people and genuine guidance can be found in it, imo as a non-religious bro
Atlasraven
A science book from the 1800s also has genuine scientific guidance. Should it be used to teach science in classrooms today?
HarryHobo97
That's an argument

Life of mediocrity here I come!
SinSinna
I was basically a maid for my aunt, and cousins growing up. I guess success is just around the corner. *Heart swells with hope*
Dewgonglongdong
I smell a millionaire in the making
SinSinna
From your lips to god's ears!
xphatdoobie
There are so many more factors that go into it..I wouldn't look at a successful person and say,"fuck, he did his chores as a kid."
Dewgonglongdong
I bet Obama did his chores...
Helminit
I was thinking the other day I wish that my parents had made me do chores as a kid. I would t have so many bad habits now
Dewgonglongdong
I had chores but I always protested doing them and there weren't any real consequences for me so now I am a pretty pitiful adult
Jeffk3
Ahh the good ol' "copy what you see on r/TIL" trick
moosemanct
The number of funeral attendees does not dictate the accuracy of one's convictions
TrafficLight
I don't think that was the message
flamingflamingo
don't think so either but i can see how that can be inferred with the two unrelated sentences following one another.
SpikeThruTheStreetRoof
Not sure if the two facts in #1 are related. Correlation \= causation
theGrantimus
It was one of the many reasons that only six people showed up.
SpikeThruTheStreetRoof
that may be true, it's just the way that it's presented makes it seem like they are pairing together two facts that might actually be 1/2
SpikeThruTheStreetRoof
not necessarily related to make it appear like they have a connection.
theGrantimus
Oh, I agree completely with you in that they made it seem like it was the only reason.

"This could be the last Black Robin to ever live. What should we name it?" "Blue." "Yeah that's good."
TemporaryUzername
it's cause all the male black robins have blue balls from jerkin' off to the last known female of their species.
Sirepoutine
Does she live in a blue house with a blue little window?
Jessaloo42
Shoulda named her Nightwing. Just sayin'
AmericasHouseguest
I have a black lab named Blue. He is so black he almost looks blue. Which makes no sense when I say it out loud.
TeslasMustache
Actually, my dog was the same way. I think it's the shine in the coat that somehow does it.
dasmoons
I'd be blue too if I was the last of my species.

Da ba de da ba die

Saved by the power of incest. Nature is so beautiful.
StarsandStones
Interesting humans have suffered a similar evolutionary bottleneck - wherein the population of breading females is estimated to have...
StarsandStones
dropped as low as 6000. Which is why there is so little genetic diversity in us today. Further that is why incest is so demanding to humans.
strugglesnuggler
I blame Genghis Khan.
StarsandStones
iirc more the granddaddy of krakatoa.
LemonG34R
demanding?
StarsandStones
Damaging.

#1 Love me my American heroes, but Paine was seriously a dick. Look him up under extremist nut job
MadHakon
Paine was a courageous hero that voiced the rights men deserved, even when those views were unpopular.
flamingflamingo
Do elaborate. I know he was at odds with Washington but I'm wondering what about him bothers you.
ItsOkayItsOfficial
He was like that atheist kid in high school: I get it dude, you're right, but chill the fuck out.
flamingflamingo
i wouldn't compare the atheist kid in high school to an extremist nut job. i was thinking more Malcolm X.
ItsOkayItsOfficial
Sure I would; I'm still friends with him on FB and he's still ranting on and on.
flamingflamingo
extremist nut jobs blew up the twin towers. that kid just posts stupid memes.
