Wait I thought President Ronald Reagan made all the other countriers dream :911: dreams about coming to Real America and escaping their horrible welfare states during the 80s? Are you telling me that’s a lie too??

No more tears (as in crying) shampoo is definitely a thing though.

When she was on SNL she said she was just very Italian and I assumed she was just joking. I forget that Spanish and Italian language have a lot in common.

Do you mean Neanderthals? H.erectus were never contemporaneous with modern H.sapiens as far as I know.

Homo floresiensis (aka Hobbits) held out until as recently as 12,000 years ago. Some small pockets of mammoth populations survived up until 4,000 years ago.

Neanderthals also probably didn't really go extinct. We just started loving them. Since they were close enough genetically, the offspring were viable and could reproduce, and they were on the decline homo sapiens just kind of absorbed them. Your average European person is some kind of single digit percentage neanderthal.

about 4 percent or so, iirc. They think red hair might have come from neanderthals.

Here's a handy list of Holocene extinctions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_extinctions_in_the_Holocene

Moas survived into the 1400s, giant armored turtles survived until 3,000 years ago, the last giant ground sloths died out maybe 5,000 years ago.

It's no tears as in crying, but what they mean obviously is once it's on their head if some drips into a baby's eyes (babies don't really have that blink to defend your eyes response for a while) it's not supposed to sting.
