If you zoom in really close, they aren't touching because they 'ain't gay

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 1 minute ago

Can't be gay anyway.. if they don't wear any socks, right?

37.78 Celsius for those who don't know freedom units offhand (including me, I had to search the conversion).

0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.

0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.

It's actually quite impressive that they don't get crowd crushes

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You bet they used to but those populations dies off and those who didn't crush themselves survives. That's called evolution.

So what you're saying is we haven't had enough Black Fridays yet

[–] deleteme@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Understanding why and how would be valuable
