Semi related: There's a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.

Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there's always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

Bottom left panel is completely redundant, but it still makes the joke hit so much harder for me

The free market will take care of the problem for us

You could probably get that tent and all other equipment you need for touring, including the e-bike, and still have enough money leftover to throw a huge celebration party with all your friends for your smart financial decisions.

The group I referenced had a paid membership. Scale that up and make it digital and you may end up with a gender exclusive social media app.

I get what you mean though, but I feel there's a bit more nuance than what you imply.

While I certainly agree with you that discrimination based on sex is unacceptable im most contexts, I believe that gender exclusive spaces, unless they hinder people directly, sometimes are a good thing.

My dad is a mental health professional and founded a weekly 'only-men' self help group. He found that some things they talked about there wouldn't have worked with women involved. That group existed for about 5 years or so and helped quite a few struggling men.

So yeah, unless there's any maliciousness involved, I'd argue that gender exclusiity is not bad in every context.

So stupid. Everyone knows we use bunny eggs for easter.

It's only a waste if you're not having fun

I certainly think so. Social media and all those publicity-hungry news publishers have contributed to fostering an image of men and women that is unrealistic and without nuance. Not just regarding aggressiveness of men or chronically dtf women.

This might be a weird take, but Ted Bundy was only so successful because his victims inherently trusted him. In today's world I believe he would have a lot more trouble to find a woman that assumes he has good intentions.
