  • Due to the lower air pressure inside of an airplane when af cruising altittude (comparable to the pressure at around 2500m of altitude, iirc) the gasses in the bowels expand, causing more discomfort. That’s why everyone gets more gassy in a plane, although I can imagine that airplane food and fucked up circadian rythms contribute as well.

    Love the term crop dusting btw.








  • I posted this on another thread. I get the feeling that this chaos is deliberate, so I’m not cheering. But I hope I just fell for my first official conspiracy theory:

    My theory is that there are forces within the republican movement (Bannon et al.) that are actively undermining the whole system including their own party.

    If enough anti-establishment sentiment and hopelessness regarding the current political system is created, the road towards an autocratic system is paved.

    I think this is a realistic scenario in 2024 if the Republicans win, but it should not be underestimated how dangerous this movement will continue to be for elections to come if Biden manages to win.
