The issue with these statistics is that they look at the average, which is heavily boosted by the exceptionally expensive weddings of the higher upper-class. The median is significantly lower.

Also I’m not American, maybe people there just spend a lot more on weddings in general than what I’m used to.
I have no clue how you define “middle-class” but not even the fanciest weddings I’ve been to have spent even close to $250 per person. That kind of expenditure sounds quite a lot more like upper-class to me. Assuming you invite 100 people to the wedding, an average Joe will not have 25k to spend on one party.
I also feel the need to remind people that while most combatants are male, not even close to all males are combatants. If only women and children (probably almost all civilian) made up 60% of all deaths, then the remaining 40% includes all male civilian deaths, which very well could be higher than combatant deaths.
Yup, if someone works “harder” they’re either being exploited or they live in a less advanced society where technology doesn’t help the working class as much.
I would understand these news as Colorado will try to avoid starting new highway projects, not that they would cancel currently ongoing ones.
“Northern Europe” but Belgium/France/Germany. Welp, I guess the Nordics don’t exist.
To be fair though, there are also about to be some severe floods in Lapland quite soon, albeit for a completely different reason: exceptionally warm spring weather melts the snow faster than usual causing rivers to flood.
I think they had quite a valid question. First of all, it’s not obvious how this affects Ukraine, if in any way at all. Second, not everyone can know about Iran’s involvement in the war (people are born, grown up, and informed every day).
Also in all other languages where I know how to say the date it’s some form of 5th (day of) June. While it is possible to have it the other way around it’s really only found in old writings (June’s 5th day).
Don’t forget the Netherlands ban

What the fuck is going on with their asses? Now I really feel we’re missing out on something great…
Oh yes, it’s the legendary kurkkumopo! If you know, you know.
Almost as if it’s possible to improve even the largest cities’ infrastructure to be more human friendly. Almost as if there’s no reason bad urban design should remain bad forever. Huh, who knew…
I’m also confused by this 473 ml pint, is that some American thing? I always thought pints were 568 ml… as in pint of beer.
In that case they’d on average have 100B each, doesn’t sound like “new billionaires” to me. Either way, I’m sure these 142 people work harder/have more influence combined than all but two entire countries in this world. /s
Anyone else who thinks the yellow and red women in the middle kind of look like a cartoon Hitler when zoomed out?
Probably since it’s their equivalent of the latin e? In my understanding the Russian cyrillic e is pronounced “ye”, so э is closer to the latin e.
Note: I don’t speak Russian so anyone with more knowledge feel free to correct me.
Also: This is for Russian cyrillic, I believe in Ukrainian cyrillic for instance, it’s the other way around, so e is e and э is ye.
What? 4k is literally a resolution, usually 3840x2160 or something around that. 1080p is another resolution, usually 1920x1080. These are never comparable.
The G in 5G stands for generation. This has nothing to do with quality or speed, but it sets an upper limit. You can have 5G that is absolute shit or 5G which is state of the art fastest speed available (until 6G comes out).
Read the undertext by OP, they completely made up all the data to make a joke about age verification in some US states to access porn.
I was actually surprised when I was in the UK last year and people were standing on the right in the escalators. But they walked on the left in crowded places. I was expecting all pedestrian traffic to be left-sided, but it was more mixed, like their measurement systems…
