Meme is good, but someone in the osha thread mentioned the spray is a heat shield for the workers in the boats.

Meme still works, the environmental impact of plastic waste and the shittiness of American power infrastructure are related but sperate issues from climate change! It's a hosed-by-capitalism variety pack!

And with one of them, the odds of consumer level decisions making a difference can be as high as "sometimes, maybe a little" instead of "basically never" like the others!

No credit scores are a thing in the UK too, I would be rather surprised if they aren't a thing worldwide to some degree, as it's just a natural extension of how lending works with computerization making tracking a million factors much easier.

Okay, I'll clarify a bit.

I don't know about UK specifically, but generally, in Europe, they keep track of any outstanding debts you might have, and you might end up on a list if you have a history of not paying off debts in time.

On the other hand, never borrowing money in the first place, not having a credit card, and instead paying your expenses directly with your bank card so you're never in debt, shows you're likely financially responsible, and you automatically have the equivalent of the highest possible credit score.

The governments generally consider borrowing money a perverse incentive and, at least here in the Netherlands, require any company that advertises with "buy x for 5 easy monthly payments" to put a clear warning in the ad saying that this will consist of a loan and that borrowing money costs money.

Being able to get a mortgage is based on a combination of having a stable income and how much money you got in your bank account. Proving you're bad with money because you get a credit for every little thing you buy instead of just *paying* for it is not part of the equation, like it is in America.

Yeah we have the words "Credit score" or "credit history", but the US model is, to my knowledge, unique in its stupidity.

Long educational meme about veneral geology:

Aug 9, 2008

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

A HORNY SWEARENGEN posted:

Nothing is a palindrome, it's the same forwards and backwards :mad:

Also, palindromes typically omit non-letter characters, e.g. "Madam, I'm Adam" is considered a palindrome despite the comma, apostrophe, and spaces. So both "()()" and ")(()" are equivalent to the empty string, so they're both palindromes, despite what horny swearengen says.

The exception is palindromic numbers, in which digits are considered instead of letters, as they are normally written in a particular base. Neither of the numbers given in the meme are base-10 palindromic numbers, because "0990" is really 990, which is not a palindrome. So the meme is wrong twice.

990 is a palindrome in dozenal (base 12), though. I checked 9090 up to base 60 and didn't find any palindromes.

As a side note, I spent a little bit wondering why the example used "0990" instead of "ABBA", but then I realized it's a bit shifty
