Oh yeah, don't forget grab your archive on the way out (More > Settings > Your Account > Request Archive). Seeing 13 years of personal history in one place was, for me at least, quite a trip. (5/5)

No one has been more vindicated by history than the 30-50 feral hogs guy
The fur, skin, and compacted FAT of a hog is apparently enough to stop 7.62x51 NATO rounds at 200M

Next time this viral image shows up on your timeline, remember, transporting 4 ounces of pears from Buenos Aires to Bangkok to Los Angeles by container ship emits less CO₂ than driving a typical American car just 500 feet. teapawt.org/RyanRadia/status/14386…
Transporting a four-ounce pear cup from Buenos Aires to Bangkok to Los Angeles by container ship: 30g of CO2 emissions—plus 1g for every 56 miles the pear cup travels by truck. Driving a typical U.S. car two city blocks in Manhattan (north-south): 35.6g of CO2 emissions.
