Do all parts of a growing, living creature expand at the same speed?

In America, our guts grow way faster than our brains, bc that's where we do most of our thinking. :-D

Ohhh that makes sense! You have some REALLY smart people over there!

Damn straight - it has it right there in our flag (the red is bacon 🥓)!

Holy fucking shit. How have I never seen that version of your flag before? That other one is so boring why isn't this one flying everywhere?

Bold of you to presume that it isn't!? :-P

And if you think that's something, wait till you see our history books:

And our newspapers:

(save us from ourselves?)

Well damn! No wonder you guys are so patriotic! I think I might be a bit jealous of your freedom and your news industry.

(Wish I could help 😞 I'm just up here in this other little North American country. The really cold one. Just wishing someone saves you from yourselves before that stink moves too far up and gets embedded in the carpet. Unfortunately we've been getting more and more whiffs of it in the past couple years. We may need help too.)

Yeah, it's spreading all over the world. Again. Except this time we seem to be for rather than against it, for some reason? :-(

Well it sure is how it seems depending on where you look. Just gotta hope that a majority of people haven't lost their mind yet.

I dunno, I feel like I have lost mine at least:-).

Btw in case it is fun, here is a video from John Oliver about authoritarianism.

Stay strong! (and warm if at all possible:-)

Unfortunately that link doesn't seem to work in Canadia but I'll look it up. I love John Oliver.

o7 <3

Oh that's weird. If it helps, here's another link that my phone automatically translates the above into: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=RyyrDneVyLze3rWE&amp;v=ximgPmJ9A5s&amp;feature=youtu.be. Anyway it's just the word "Authoritarianism". Enjoy!:-)

Urgh it doesn't work 😭 I've tried searching for it and it doesn't come up, just random playlists named Authoritarianism that don't actually contain the video. I'll have to pirate it. Sorry John :(

Did you know that because your feet are closer to the gravitational center of the earth your head ages faster than your feet?

I did, I have no grey hairs on my feet.

Gonna go ahead and add "how much farther did my head travel than my feet due to the curvature of the earth" to my list of weird statistics I want an answer to

It would take something like a million years for your head to age more than a second. It's a fun thing to tell people though lol

A bat should be less affected by this uneven aging due to the whole sleeping upside down thing. They still spend some time upright so it balances out a little better than what you'd see with most of us who generally stay somewhere between prone/supine and standing up throughout the day.
