So "Murica" is mostly ironically used.

Politically loaded because it calls a white person a terrorist.

Only because they counted dead blacks in Tulsa as 3/5 of a person after they firebombed it from the air.

It is strange that terrorist acts are counted but not acts of war. I guess if they were Hawaii's deadliest even would be Pearl Harbor. And all of the south-east (+Pennsylvania) would be civil war battles. ecureuilmatrix posted:Even more I suspect this map was made ~2013

I'm curious if Guam is the USS Indianapolis (the ship that sank and whose survivors were eaten by sharks) or Korean Air Flight 801.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:I like how the only shipwrecks are in inland states. It's because most of the bigger shipwrecks for coastal states weren't actually in state waters, or were smaller than something else. If you'd made that map before 2001, I think New York's biggest disaster previous was some ship that went down in the harbor, but that wouldn't be as big as 2000 people int he twin towers. Edit: went and checked and yeah. In 1904, the PS General Slocum sank in the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, killing 1021 people. Only 321 people who were on board managed to survive. fishmech fucked around with this message at 16:09 on May 21, 2016 |

I guess they're typing in 'google' in their address bar, not realizing that it's already Google on Chrome and Firefox. It looks stupid on a map but makes sense.

Nobody uses bookmarks anymore and typing stuff is the most convenient way to use a computer (the command line won the UI war). To me people typing Google means a diverse interest, while people typing facebook or vk are just tryiing to see what their friends are doing. The clear winners are the red countries.

Pakled posted:What's with all the microstates googling themselves? Tourists? Seems like they include partial search queries - so I guess in those places they add their country names to searches to make sure Google returns country relevant results. Like the Swiss specifying they are looking for weather / traffic in Switzerland, because otherwise they would get German websites, same Cyprus / Greece, San Marino / Italy. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 21:53 on May 23, 2016 |

I for one use an elborate bookmark system with many folders and subfolders. I hate typing poo poo, but when I do its in my firefox that is so heavily customized I can't even upgrade it to the current version anymore. I'd rather have my custom search bar than be able to view youtube.

I'm not sure what you're talking about because I'm on the latest version and still have the old style searchbar behavior due to one setting or another.

It's true it's almost certainly not a study done by NASA, but the idea of testing the effects of drugs on spiders doesn't strike me as all that implausible for a study. However "caffeine has an adverse effect on spiders" doesn't seem like a particularly interesting finding; any more than "chocolate has an adverse effect on dogs" means we need to stop eating that.

I think you got fooled by a fwd, bro. quote:Witt's research was discontinued, but it became reinvigorated in 1984 after a paper by J.A. Nathanson in the journal Science,[4] which is discussed below. In 1995, a NASA research group repeated Witt's experiments on the effect of caffeine, benzedrine, marijuana and chloral hydrate on European garden spiders. NASA's results were qualitatively similar to those of Witt, but the novelty was that the pattern of the spider web was quantitatively analyzed with modern statistical tools, and proposed as a sensitive method of drug detection.[1][5] That picture above was probably pulled from a NASA journal, given German subtitles for some German magazine, and that's the version that ended up online. But seriously, calling a research image a fraud because it has German text on it? That's the most politically loaded thing I've seen today in the politically loaded maps thread.

Carbon dioxide posted:More spider web pictures here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_psychoactive_drugs_on_animals#Spiders Wikipedia posted:The initial motivation for the study was a request from his colleague, zoologist H. M. Peters, to shift the time when garden spiders build their webs from 2am–5am, which apparently annoyed Peters, to earlier hours. This is the gooniest thing I've ever heard, lmao

I guess it would be an interesting finding as part of studying how caffeine works as an insecticide and how wide spectrum it is. Or if you were studying how the octopamine system affects coordination in spiders. It just doesn't tell you much about caffeine in humans.
