24·9 months agoI just don’t get why people choose to be poor. It seems like a difficult way to live. Why don’t these people just get some more money?
There are also a shitload more humans now. Even if number of horses per capita is lower, the fact that there are more people may compensate for that.
That is salmiak flavored licorice, it’s not salmiak. Just like a bag of paprika flavoured crisps says ‘paprika’ on the front, doesn’t mean that paprika is another word for crisps.
The only relation between licorice and salmiak is that it’s used to flavour a specific type of licorice.
It’s also used in fertilizer, as flux for soldering or galvanizing metal, in batteries, and lots of other applications.
You can also buy salmiak powder as a form of candy on it’s own.
No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
But it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?
Cats with the unusual coat – known as ‘salmiak cats’ (which translates as ‘salty liquorice’)
A better translation would be ‘ammonium chloride’, because that’s what salmiak is.
Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

World News@lemmy.world•Ontario slaps 25% increase on electricity exports to US in response to Trump's trade warEnglish
4·9 months agoOr just raise the export tariff on electricity by 1% a day. They’ll shut if off themselves when they realize they can’t afford it at a 300% markup.
No, crashes in the US happen because Americans are shit drivers. They are shit drivers because you get a free driving license with box of cereal. Germany on the other hand has one of the strictest driving tests there is. A German with a driving license has had many hours of instruction from a professional instructor.
In addition, American cars are shit. Lots of poorly maintained and unsafe vehicles on the road with very lax regulation. By contrast, German cars have to pass a very comprehensive yearly safety inspection.
83 million Germans, 63% above 16
Not sure why you think this is relevant. Children aren’t allowed to drive in Germany.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What scientific fact blows your mind the most?
7·10 months agoIt’s so absurdly big. Our galaxy (the Milky Way) is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars in it. For a long time we thought our galaxy was all there was, it wasn’t until 1925 when Edwin Hubble was able to prove that M31 was not a nebula or cluster of stars in our galaxy, but in fact an entirely different galaxy altogether that we realized there are more galaxies out there.
Look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture

This was a taken by pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a basically empty bit of space 2.4 by 2.4 arcminutes in size (for comparison, the moon has an apparent size of about 30 arcminutes, or half a degree). So an absolutely tiny part of the sky. It contains about 10.000 galaxies.
The observable universe is estimated to have between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in it, with on average about 100 billion stars per galaxy. It’s absolutely mind blowing.

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats in denial over Trump defeat, voters say: ‘Haven’t learned the lessons’
2·11 months agoThe problem with the democrats is that they are too honest and don’t play dirty.
They should have lied and told the public what they wanted to hear with no intention of actually honoring their promises, just like the republicans.
