I have learned that my garbage luck with technology extends to car ownership (a thing I did not realize until now), and I am starting to wonder if I have some form of divine punishment looking to keep me down after all the progress I've made to lift myself up. Just wish things would go right for a lengthy period of time rather than the short bursts I've been getting
Not exactly an accurate comparison though, seeing as how it’s comparing individual countries with a continent.What Bedinsis said. Also since it was mentioned, how big is Africa? This big:

So I um…I just…fucking hell.
Lots of interesting facts, but most specifically that it wasn't so much that hollywood has been misinformed over the years about Dinosaurs, but that we just constantly learn new things and change what we know about Dinosaurs.
Bullshitted their way into Afgan to bullshit their way into being official government/personnel to bullshitting their way into torture Afgan citizens all while the US tolerates it until it becomes publicly unviable, but the bullshitting of course doesn't stop there!
There's a reason the Skull and Crossbones is the de facto Pirate Flag, because there are a number of Pirate flags which are just....kinda stupid looking, honestly.
Like this one, which is basically just a bit of everything tossed in.
Is this a code?
Let's do a meme face and a naked dude, because why the hell not
Not really stupid, but it's pretty much "Skull and Crossbones are cool, but what if we did three?"
Apparently Stede Bonnet had one like this, which is a skull but with more stuff
Is this a declaration of love?
Skeley boy but red.
Skeley boy and dude sharing a cup, maybe?
Do you like my skull shoes?
I mean, they tried. I don't think they tried very hard but they tried.
Yeah 18th century pirates. I made fun of your flags. Deal with it!

The skull and crossed bones would be easily recognised and probably easy to make. I'm not going to bother making a dancing naked guy and some other stuff when I can do a skull and a cross and call it a day.
I like them. There's a central theme but they all have their own twist on it. Gotta have your own banner, something that say's you're a pirate but makes you stand out a bit.
Would it work if you'd have a skull and crossbones, but with the bones on top of the skull like a hat? Keeping the theme, no harder to make, but distinctive.
I learned that there's an additional bad aspect about this animation. Keep your eye on the two characters in the top right. Tell me if you notice something when the animation loops.
Great White Sharks Are Being Scared From Their Habitat by Just Two Predators
There is no sea creature whose name inspires terror – rightly or wrongly – as much as the great white shark.

Today I learned that sunfish are HUGE, the largest known bony fish in the world. While I've seen images of this ocean monstrosity before, I've never seen it relative to anything to give me a scale of its size. No, thank you; just another reason to keep my happy ass firmly on dry land.
