Omg im so offensive
The worst one, Indian food, when India is majority Hindu and not halal.
Most likely Pakistani or Bangladeshi, it's become a huge cultural misappropriation and few seem to be trying to fix it.

Well the Chinese obviously build fantastic walls. You can see one of them from space for God's sake so I don't see what the fuss is about.
Honk honk. Just another day in clown world.
No, that doesn't describe the specific phenomenon in question, which is the result of the cumulative effect of repeated miscommunications.
The politically correct term is chinese whispers. It's not politically incorrect.
Not to detract from the monumental size of the wall, but that's a myth, it is absolutely not visible from even L.E.O.

Well, I never, I always thought it was.
Also I'm pleased that this led me on to find out that the definition of a "factoid" is a rumour presented as fact. I always wondered what it meant.

Is it, by camera just difficult to spot as it kinda blends in.
The pyramids can be seen more clearly.
they don't even seem to look for news stories though or do any kind of research.
it's more like neighbourhood gossip, sometimes I read the newspaper websites and I wonder why half the stories exist other than to fill a white space.
BBC is just as bad.
it's like everything is basically becoming a gossip magazine or a way to imprint their views on the readers.
we don;'t get facts and an unbiased opinion any more, we get someone else's viewpoint.
when did we stop having our own minds? and become some stupid hive
UNIs are getting woke wardens to protect the freedom of speech apparently

Hrm, that's what I thought. This article suggests it's possible, just very difficult and needs the right conditions. It's a technicality and all.
you can see anything from space with a satellite though including a single vehicleHrm, that's what I thought. This article suggests it's possible, just very difficult and needs the right conditions. It's a technicality and all.
you can barely see a rocket launch from the ISS
With a good enough camera covering the right wavelengths almost anything is visible from almost anywhere with line of sight. It's not meaningful other than as a measurement of the capabilities of the camera.
It's also a bit weird regarding the great wall of China. Why would anyone even expect a very narrow structure to be visible to the naked eye from a hundred miles above it? There are plenty of artificial things in China (and elsewhere) that are visible to the naked eye from space. Cities, mainly.
Language evolving is not the same as language being used as a weapon.
"Fortune cookies".
Yes I know originates in Japan.
That reminds me, my daughter absolutely loves The Aristocats, am I a racist for showing her this scene?
I thought the ones in suits were on the DC side? /drumroll
?? language been used a weapon is part of how language evolves.
