Yes. To me the original Reddit poster seems like a kid with way too much free time on their hands.

Operating systems should just be tools, using your brainpower to squint at accent colors or similar is just pure waste. Kinda like you don't give two shits about the asphalt color of the highway while driving.

Naturally, all diseases evolve with time. The OG late-2019 Wuhan covid strain, which all current vaccines are based on, was almost 2 years ago and no longer exists in the wild

It's possible that a mutation emerged in november 2019 that pushed the R number up. A "mild" form of the virus could very easily have lingered in China/SEA for years.

Nope, the main reason for being anti-vaxx seriously is being (subconsciously) scared of needles. These people have no problem with taking pills lol.

... nobody says "pwned" anymore, it's back to being hacker slang

Exercise. Also works for back pain. Try gym + running.

A small improvement without exercise can be had by always wearing warm long sleeve shirts, which improves the blood flow or similar

Obviously not. It's some random wild animal population of an unknown species, living near a bat cave in rural China.

In lots of northern climates, going out for a walk during winter sucks. It's cold, dark and slippery. The winter landscape is cool to look at for a few days sure but after that it just becomes depressing.

Interesting how the word "toxic" is mainstream nowadays. Considering the term originated as a way of describing aggressive/angry kids on the videogame League of Legends.

Imagine if they started challenge trials for the moderna vaccine late January 2020, when China went to lockdown. Trillions of dollars saved. Oh well.

One month is NOTHING. Companies do not care about a month. Users do not care about a month. Nothing changes within a month of development anyways.

Now go 2 years without an update, and it would start to show. 5 years, and the general consensus would be "the app is outdated"

This is what happened to IE, btw. They stopped updating it for 5 years. We all know what happened afterwards once the momentum was lost.

India just doesn't have the giant 70+ yo vulnerable male population that western countries have. If they did, the numbers would be horrifying. But since they have a young population, herd immunity was reached. (Serology tests show over 50% of india had covid, and the case stats show a classic epidemical curve)

Same goes for Russia btw, theres no 50+ males for covid to kill as they die to alcohol abuse. So they peaked at "only" 600 deaths / day.

Yes it does. The disease would have been eradicated a long time ago if it didn't have asymptomatic transmission. (see: SARS and MERS)

If you want a glimpse of the average person's youtube experience, open the site in incognito and go to the "trending" tab.

It's a completely different site depending on what you initially search for when you start using it.

The problem is, 80% of youtube userbase never really typed a search query for anything in the first place, and as a result the stuff they get recommended and watch is pure shit.

Scandinavian countries are not really countries. More like a family club. (This is starting to change though)

When everybody is just like you, it leads to high trust, no us vs them mentality. Same is true in eg. South Korea and Japan.

Contrast this with their similarily northern neighbour Russia, which is basically the America of eastern europe. A nation resulting from a melting pot of ethnicitiess, languages, cultures (most current Russians are really assimilated from smaller native cultures, their great grandparents didn't identify as Russian). And the end result? Corruption. Everybody just tries to milk public funds as much as they can, and so forth.
