Amazing! Why did Romans switch everything in the other direction though?

The bottom few are the only acceptable ones on the list. Makes me embarrassed for Canada.

The date format is worse in Canada because it is supposed to be day/month/year but because of how much we trade with the US, you'll see a combination of the 2 formats being used. So fun trying to guess the date for the 1st-12th of the month

I wonder if OP has ever walked alone in a dark street under one of the "best" street lamps and hoped for her life that the next lamp would be working and then the next and then the next...

Well, we thank god the dragon flies are not tiger sized, dont we?!

Yeah we have a terrible system and its not likely to change anytime soon.

Poor Oscar "Unsinkable Sam" must have wondered why they kept bringing him back onto boats!

Seaports map looks so pleasant

Some Christians would disagree with you.

One thing they don't own is any kind of conscience, apparently...

Like Rose told Jack in Titanic, "Just start from the outside and work your way in".

Fun fact, a Swedish hydraulics company was until 2010 named Nike Hydraulics. The other Nike once tried to make them change, but couldnt do anything due to the fact that the Swedish company had that name since 1924.

For me '89 version. Others are very nice too but that one for the win.

Most large economies export their trash to these "highest polluters". The USA sold millions of tons of trash to the Philippines in 2020, most of which ends up in the ocean and the US doesn't have to take any responsibility for their own waste.

Journalist student here, I wasn't sure what I wanted and it was very diverse, also I always loved writing. Do I regret it? No, it was interesting and really fun adventure as we worked for local radio and did many fun projects. Was it useful for my future career? Also no xD

No surprise that the top 3 were or are run by sociopaths

I'm surprised Schindler's List isn't higher. Does this list account for inflation?

I miss the look of cars in the fifties- seventies. Not the pollution though. All those white, grey, black cars are so boring. Ours is bright blue and I never have problems to find it at the parking lot 😀

Hey! Elvis isn't dead! He's retired and living the quiet life in Erie, Indiana.

This is across all brands though and Pepsi has a ton of brands that aren't Pepsi. Not just beverages like Mtn. Dew and Gatorade, but they own DORITOS and Frito Lay. They own Rice-A-Roni and Quaker Oats. They are a massive food conglomerate.

China's got the world gridlocked...joy.

The USA's national debt is $34 trillion, China's is $370.7 billion. So technically the USA is losing money and their main competitor is making a profit.

I think not many European named their newborn child Adolf after the 40s...

The implication seems to be that the helmet was invented in 600 CE. Did the Romans and Greeks wear tam-o'-shanters into battle, then?

Jynnan tonnyx. Other versions of the name include gee'N'N-T'N-ix, chinanto/mnigs, tzjin-anthony-ks, jinond-o-nicks and gin-and-tonics.

I remember when O'Hare was busiest in the world. Doesn't seem that long ago.

You need to be a millionaire to live in New York

Good to see the old Nokia bricks still at the top of the list.

Yet their founder is a billionaire and now they won’t pay anything if you get less than 1000 streams even though they pay next to nothing per stream.

Japan though, the wandering of Godzilla shows.

I think the Spanish quota is raised by the UK, Germany and the Netherlands tourists 🤣

https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions. "More populous countries with some of the highest per capita emissions – and therefore high total emissions – are the United States, Australia, and Canada which on average have emissions that are around 3 times higher than the global average."

I once made friends with an older man over the garden back fence because I took his gardening advice and tended the basil and mint he gifted me. It turned out he was a local high-level mobster and made sure no one messed with me as an outsider in his neighborhood. I did get followed by authorities in unmarked cars, though.

The Russian flag is wrong 🙃

0/8 in my house.

As long as the family is assembled and we are having fun, I could easily go without any of these things :)

7/8 in my family

80% extended family over with at least two drunks.

in Christmas music: 90% is Mariah Carey

Ugh the Camry is the only one I'd even consider.

I like how vinyl has made a comeback. I have about 1000 that I bought for $1-2 each at swapmeets in the 80s. I listened to two of them today.

I guess Britain isn't part of Europe anymore since Brexit.

What about all that heavy metal from the 80s? HMPL-65ccb...e0cdb8.png

There's a Boeing factory in my city. It's cool.

To clarify for those who don't read, this are not actual risks, these are the things people think are concerned about right now. the title is misleading.

OP forgot the "buy them and bury them" part of Microsoft's business plan for dealing with disruptive startups.

I wonder how many of them genuinely believe that they have worked hard for everything they've got and talk about how lazy the lower classes are.

That's a LOT of guns. Why don't I feel any safer?

10 years ago, Idaho was one of the cheapest states to live in. Then, a bunch of Californians moved there and drove home prices through the roof, pricing out many Idaho natives.

Oh dear, this chart is made wrong on so many levels... 🤦‍♀️

It is interesting that Subway has the most franchisees in the US (21,000+), but they aren't even in the top 20.

Why are there two Calvin Harrises?

Ranked by whom?

Chipotle is 3rd on the list. The first store opened one mile from my house at the time.

What a big bias... need to use number of car built or other metrics. Market capitalization is just b******t, because it is just "investors who believe in the company"

Donald should be a lot less due to all the money he owes people.
