Surely it a river doesn’t go all the way around the earth. Rivers typically have one (or many) start points, where they are surrounded on three sides by land, meaning it’s possible to cross from one side to the other. Otherwise it’s just a strait or channel.

However, that assumes you are not on the land in between a fork in the river. In which case you would have to cross a bridge outside of Königsberg, and we might have to expand the problem to crossing every bridge on the continent once.

Sliding screen doors are common in the US

Lmfao the fucking doorknob on the hinge side of the door.

Even if, I think it’s still a valid comparison as it’s a rate.

I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don’t care, they’re all Yanks.

The funny ones are all just somebody using the sound from a funny skit but acting it out themselves.

I’m so funny, I acted out this funny skit somebody else made

You’re describing capitalism, not the natural order of the world

Steel is mostly iron but it’s not called iron

Say inshallah instead

Fascism is when you advocate for the poor to not get utterly fucked

3% annual raise isn’t a raise. When someone gets a 3% raise after a year they are literally making exactly what they started at if inflation is 3% annually.

Noooo it’s broken!

Well, I would have to buy a car first, but then I could siphon out the gas and sell it forever.

Harry, it’s an inanimate fucking object.

My first calculus class was in 2018 or 2019 and before they taught us any of the derivative rules they showed us the first principles derivation, so the fact that they just skipped right to the shortcuts for you is wack. For us it was more of “this is how you find the equation for the slope of a line at any point. But guess what, here’s some rules so you don’t have to do this squeeze formula every time!”

That last part.

Is there such a thing as unhinged benevolence? That’s awesome

This is true, all Americans are going to hell /s

My parents are constantly pushing me to own a car.

I have a license because it is a convenient all-in-one piece of ID. I abstain from car ownership because cars fucking suck. They’re expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, expensive to run, expensive to drive, and you can’t even use your phone* while going places. Car ownership is just overall a bad deal. I’m much happier taking public transit, even if it sucks ass and is twice as slow to get anywhere.

*If you unironically counter this point you should be prevented from ever getting behind a wheel for the rest of your life. Fuck you for putting my and other people’s lives in danger for your own convenience.

I can honestly say that I can only tell apart differences of 1 °F in the context of pools. With air temperature there’s humidity, wind, and sunlight that all contribute to the experienced temperature in ways that can make two 68 degree days feel entirely different.

We are not water.

But the weather is.
