Idiots think presence in Football is some sort of a marker for a country. Constant stupid noise of x people don’t have y players in Football. Grow the fuck up!

@MarioNawfal I believe they all of them have one or another form of an objective entrance exam. Are all the seats based on race? I doubt that.

Hypocrisy of the world at its best.
If this whole case was from India, whole India would be receiving shame, disrespect and what not.

A farmer in rural Ireland noticed that one of his cows would cry for hours every time he left for the train station to pick up supplies.

Moved by her distress, he started taking her with him. To everyone’s surprise, the cow quickly learned the routine. She would calmly wait on the platform while he was away, then joyfully walk home beside him once his train returned.

The heartwarming story has captured the world’s attention, beautifully illustrating that cows are far more than livestock — they’re intelligent, emotional animals capable of forming deep bonds and meaningful routines with the people who care for them.

No religion ever mentioned the existence of them before. I wonder why? It simply means that the author's imagination didn't reach here.

Antarctica's first ever dinosaur bone sat in a museum drawer for 40 years before being identified.

The fossil belonged to a Titanosaur, a dinosaur group with some of the largest land animals ever.

@ananyashasau Good point. I would have loved it! Any flop movie, any rerelease of a movie also works for me.

Why don't airports have movie theaters?

If my layover is 4 hours, let me watch a movie instead of wandering around the terminal. I'd happily pay for that.

Everyone is outraging after The Economist article on India’s pathetic government websites.

The elephant in the room: We need a smart, educated, English speaking, well read, tech savvy politician who has his heart in the right place. A visionary, a dreamer, a doer. A secular democrat. A sense of humour too.

What we have is substandard, subpar frauds. India has moved beyond these old fogey wheeler dealer criminal variety of crooks masquerading as our hope.

@riteshmjn I am sure there must be some good reasons. Like getting rid of old equipments that no longer serve.

@Jerome_Gillain The only real question 🙋

[Yash @yash_what]

A good explainer

[Siddharth Singh @siddharth3]

Yes, 43°C in India feels different to 43°C in Europe. Allow me to explain.

1. Europe is much more north on the planet, compared to the tropical location of India. For example, Paris is even north of Toronto in Canada. In India, the sun hits from the top. In Europe, it hits at an angle, and significantly longer summer days can yield strong solar loads through the course of a day. So the sun feels different.

2. India’s air pollution (suspended particulate matter) dulls the sun a bit. The sun feels sharper in Europe due to the clear skies, while pollution in India scatters and dissipates heat differently.

3. The recent heat waves in Europe have been accompanied with very low or zero winds. The leaves on trees don’t have a hint of movement. So it feels suffocating in a different way. In India, the warm winds and humidity might have different effects.

4. Europe has historically been cooler, so its buildings have been designed to remain warm in winters, while Indian buildings are designed to remain cool in summers. For example, stone or tiled floors in India dissipate heat quickly in summers, but also mean that you can’t walk bare feet in winters. Meanwhile European households might have wooden floors that don’t feel cool in the summers. Some European cities also have black roofs as a norm, which trap heat.

5. Much of Europe has had very limited number of warm days through history, so air conditioning is not a norm. Why would households invest in ACs when it crosses 25°C (minimum) for less than 7 days a year? New York has 4-5x more frequent warm days than Paris, for example. But that’s now changing. As it gets warmer, the case for ACs is obvious.

6. Much of Europe values aesthetics and public spaces a lot. So buildings associations oppose ugly heat-blowing external AC units facing the streets. This is why European cities are the most beautiful and walkable on the planet. Would you sit down to have wine and pasta on a street side cafe if an ugly AC unit was blowing hot air onto you? But of course, it’s too hot during heat waves now, so buildings associations will be forced to relent and change their rules. (You can also find some examples of some activists or institutions opposing ACs for climate change reasons, but I think that has a much smaller impact on decisions than actual building rules).

But the ultimate reality is this: as heat waves get hotter and longer, ACs will become the norm in Europe as well. Most offices and shopping centres are already air conditioned. Households are increasingly purchasing them too.

And the other reality is that Indians suffer a lot from heat waves too, even at 43°C. We just don’t report human interest stories the same way. Many don’t have ACs, live under tin roofs, and are hit by a constant stream of hot AC exhaust air from neighbours. We all need to prepare better for our respective heat waves.

@jasonjamesbnn Just one naive question though: How do you call the whole of Chinese money as money being “laundered”? Can none of them be honest investments? I understand you might not like the country and its people but is all the Chinese money illegal in your opinion?

[Yash @yash_what]

@newstart_2024 Unnecessary correlation. You guys make anyone famous first and then go by their words. Doesn't matter who he is and what he thinks. It's pure noise. Let people live and stop with these free social media campaigns.

So it has always been true. The lower the cognitive function, the happier you are!

[Siim Land @siimland]

Researchers call this "the paradox of aging"

Physical health and cognitive function tend to decline with age.

However, mental health paradoxically improves.

In a study of 1,546 adults aged 21–100:

- Physical health declined ~1.5 SD across adulthood
- Cognitive function declined ~2 SD
- Mental health improved ~1 SD

You may lose some physical and cognitive capacity with age, but often gain emotional resilience, perspective, and psychological well-being.

Sad thing is that most of these people are 20–27yo Gen Z trying to impress their friends by “travelling the world” and cosplaying a rich lifestyle, while not saving or building anything substantial for their life.

They’ll proudly say they’ve been to 50+ countries, when in reality they spent 7 days in each and just executed the TikTok itinerary they saved before coming.

The algorithm chooses the place, the pose, the restaurant and the caption. They just show up and perform it.
