One brand 1.825 billion units sold in a year and in ten years 1.82500 (eighteen billion two hundred fifty million)
1.82500 billion multiplied by 20 (thirty-six billion five hundred million)

We must have come to that point :glasses where as, the amount of lighters decomposing (500 years) is equal (roughly) to the number sold annually worldwide :indifferent

A weather report says that the :earth could warm up to 4c/39 Fahrenheit in the next 100 years - and up to 9c in the Mediterranean 48f :glasses
We might as well get used to extreme weather conditions as being a normal way of life.
Heatwaves will devastate large stretches of land and seas could rise by as much as a metre / 3.28ft placing coastal cities at risk to extreme flooding :indifferent
This is the clincher :scratch even if all nations fulfil their pledges to cut green-house gasses dramatically across this century, global warming will still continue unabated.
we're fucked !

Test Your Brain
ALZHEIMER'S EYE TEST
Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.....

HOW MANY ‘F’s?
Count them again.
WRONG !
THERE ARE 6 -- no joke..
Go Back and Try to find the 6 'F's before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind this is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Anyone who counts all 6 on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

F INISHED F ILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI

Where did Piss Poor come from?


Urine was used to tan animal skins, families
used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken &
Sold to the tannery.
if you had to do this to survive
you were "Piss Poor"

But worse than that if you were really poor and couldn't
even afford to buy a pot....then you "didn't have a pot to
piss in" !
The lowest of the low :neernerneener

about in the 1500s
Those with money had plates made of pewter.
Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto
the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened
most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so,
tomatoes were considered poisonous.
