Finance expert Ryan Monsurate explained to Bored Panda that the reason why women’s clothes have small or no pockets is simply because that’s the choice that’s offered by most brands at the moment. “I think if larger pockets were offered, they would sell well. I don't believe this is market equilibrium,” he said. In other words, it’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem because for trends to change, trends need to change.
Monsurate added that purses aren’t as effective an alternative to pockets. Especially when it comes to one of the most ubiquitous tools we use all day long, our phones. “Phones in purses aren't as accessible as phones in pockets,” he said.

Unfortunately, not all differences are pleasant and fun. Bored Panda also reached out to writer and founder of Voice of Salam, Elizabeth Arif-Fear. One of the issues she’s interested in is the differences between men and women. Especially regarding the wage gap, gender inequality, and how to solve these problems.
“The facts speak for themselves. Less than 4% of CEOs in the world's 500 largest corporations are women, for every dollar men earn, women earn 70-90 cents and women spend 200-1000% more time than men caring for others (children, elderly family members, ill relatives). This has to change,” Arif-Fear told Bored Panda.

New Zealand Supermarkets Are Finally Trialing Less Plastic On Their Fruit And Veggies
Photo on the left is what it's currently like buying fruit and vegetables from a supermarket. Even the 'odd bunch' ones down the bottom right are meant to be less wasteful because they're not the normal perfectly shaped/colored ones, but still come in plastic bags. Photo on the right is the current trial in a handful of supermarkets around the country. Here's hoping it's successful and they roll this out nationwide!

Trial failed btw. Turns out people don't like their blueberries touching each other and the supermarket was having to throw out large amounts of unsold food. Also the picture is misleading, yes you can have all that prepackaged food but right next to it is the unpackaged items so people can choose for themselves. And Countdown are aware of their environmental impact and realised their biggest pollution was coming from old refrigeration units and the coolant used so are upgrading all of there refrigerators around the country, less exciting than plastic use but just as important.

According to Arif-Fear, the best way forward is for men and women to support each other. She advises women to openly share their stories of mistreatment in the workplace and to highlight the differences in how they and their male coworkers are treated.
She also advises men to avoid “mansplaining” and instead be allies to women. “Ensure there's a seat at your table, ensure you value the contribution of women. Let's all look out for each other and ensure that gender inequality becomes a thing of the past.” So while some differences in the world are intriguing to look at, others need to be tackled head-on.

Everyone's breath/sneeze/song/speech releases droplets from the respiratory tract. This display is about the vector, not the disease. This display demonstrates that masks inhibit/partially contain the vector, and therefore its burden of diseases. This is true whether you are talking bacteria or viruses or shreds of DNA. Masks reduce the spread of airborne respiratory droplets. Wear a mask.

Comparison Between Trash And Fabric. These Shirts Are Made From Plastic Bottles
Scyth 5 years ago
Does that mean that the cloth will never decompose and still be considered plastic trash when thrown away?
DE Ray 5 years ago
Not really. Decomposition of plastic waste is particularly a factor of the density of the material. Plastic bottles are more dense than fabric made from the same plastic, so if a bottle would take the oft-cited 500 years (they don't if there is UV exposure) to decompose then a shirt would take probably 150 years or less because of the lesser density.

Cordi Schmidt 5 years ago
Recycling is important but that does not mean we need to dress ourselves in plastics. It's the equivalent of wrapping ourselves into a plastic wrap every day - it is not comfortable and the fabric does not breathe thus people get sweaty af and those with sensitive skin can develop skin issues (rash etc.). Moreover the micro-plastic particles get washed down in the washing machine right into the water and ocean. Not the most effective way.

I wonder if they shed microplastics in the wash. One of the recent findings in microplastics is that polar fleece sheds small particles during the wash that gets into our groundwater. Many of us wear fleece a lot and it never occurred to me. It apparently floats above the filters at water treatment plants so it doesn't get filtered out.

4 Bottles Of Water From 4 Different Houses From All 4 Sides Of Town (West/North/East/South) In Flint, Michigan

That is awful, there is no way I would be drinking that. How has this been going on for so long. The government need to pull their fingers out of their arses and do something about it. It’s been long enough.

It's a black town, and also poor... Explains it all, really. (Google says as of 2014 it was 57% black and 37% white, with 42% living below the poverty line.)

Flint was awarded close to $400 million, but apparently, the state has been slow to reimburse Flint for payments made to contractors. And then there's a bit of selective bidding going on too.

The Amorphophallus Titanium - One Of The Largest Plants In The World Compared To The Size Of A Human. It Only Blooms Once Every Forty Years For Four Days
Foxxy (The Original) 5 years ago
This flower is also known as The corpse flower due to the smell being like a rotting corpse.
Savanna Sawyer 5 years ago
One poped up in my front yard. It smelt awful, the neighbors called the police, claming that it "smelled of a decomposing corpse" The police had a good laugh when they came over and we explained that it was the plant. We were thinking about removing it but it is gourgeus, so we kept it its about 5"6, P.S it smells awful to keep away predators

Jayne Kyra 5 years ago
Fresh lines like that always look fake. I have a couple that first looked like they were drawn on with liquid eyeliner. Until the redness and bruising set in. This tattoo probably vanished because palm skin (hand skin in general) peels and changes the most often. I have a finger tattoo that is barely there after 2 years.

Pseudo Puppy 5 years ago
this is why any decent tattoo artist won't do work on palms, feet, or elbows..... because the skin grows out 3 times as fast as the rest of the body, therefore preventing the tattoo ink from properly embedding in the skin. ie the tattoo ink grows out with the skin as it sheds.....
