Nobody will want to join the UN when they see how little is done for member states. Their inaction will be their end, just like the League of Nations before them.

Not sure why you're pulling PNG into this, that's an entirely different file format.

Just mentioning what format I remembered it with since I dont remember if the rotation flag was in the image file formatting, in the webpage, or if it could be specified in either place.

It was top to bottom unless the image had a rotation flag in it. I don't remember if it was just PNG that had that or if other formats could too.

Except they can, remember fidget spinners?

This site does that

True, but all of the other things they track are more sensible.

Shame the cloudflare VPN wall doesnt let me sign it. It just loops a captcha at me that insta-fails.

The longer time to pay makes sense but the cards I have dont charge me for having them, I know availability of cards may vary though, some people might not have decent card options, I guess it makes sense.

All of the "buy now pay later" or pay in installment schemes/apps popping up, supposedly they are popular but I don't get it, it is just a worse credit card.

Absolutely this, sedans are virtually dead here in America thanks to CAFE regulations and I staunchly refuse to buy an SUV or pickup, even used, unless I have a need for something bigger, and then Station Wagons and vans will get my attention before pickups, and SUVs will never get my attention.

Especially when you consider my 2000 Town Car (RIP Mercury) got 21MPG city and 30 Highway (on long interstate trips), even though it was only rated for 16 city 23 highway, but somehow a 2025 Ford Explorer only is rated for 18 city/25 highway, only 2 MPG better than a 25 year old car's official rating on both categories, despite being the same price new, before being adjusted for inflation (both started between $39-40k), 25 years of development for a 2.3L I4 SUV to match a 25 year old 4.6L V8 sedan, our vehicle market is a joke.

Fair, but alot of people are going to wind up on a corporate social media anyways, and if they aren't willing to jump over to more private options this is a mitigation of the damage and simultaneously is an act of defiance, so while not the best choice, I still regard it as better than, say, anything Meta owns. So I feel this shouldnt be beaten down on so hard, but rather used as a chance to say "Yeah, that is a step, but here are some better options". Talking down about their choice on a platform they already aren't on as if it is somehow worse than what is being pushed on them is just screaming into the void.
