When would 'western explorers' first have seen Komodo Dragons? I wonder how much of the mythology of cryptids and weird creatures is just informed by some serf's poor drawing of the poor memory some guy had of seeing a big lizard.

We've all seen those medieval paintings of 'lions'.

Little known fact is that those paintings are remarkably accurate and that's actually what lions looked like back then.

Looking at this site and this site says NZ beef is cheaper than in the US. How is it that drat expensive?

I assumed that was New Zealand given the NZ.

Oh no
It’s $7-7.50/lb US, if those are NZD or AUD. High but not apocalypse level high.

I know it can vary depending on where you are but I feel like that’s nearly twice as high for some 80/20.

Nope. I am wrong. Just checked and my store near me has ground beef around 6.50/ lbs.

Price gouging really is rampant.

Plus also, Aus and NZ meats are well regarded in asian markets so the price normalises against markets wealthy enough to have nice meat imported.

For no particular reason thinking about how Californians are fleeing the state because there's no water because California is now one huge cattle ranch raising beef to be sold in Saudi Arabia.

Houses in my neighborhood have shot up 140% in price and there's now 20 seafood fusion restaurants under construction because Saudi Arabia loving loves McDonald's.

Very American to blame the Middle East for unrelated problems.

Anthrax attacks? Probably the Middle East. Mask mandates? Definitely the Middle East. World War 3 on the horizon? Ohhh you better believe that's the Middle East.

Saudi children wouldn't play with 2016 Ghostbusters merch because it's all canonically used by women, actually. Saudia Arabia needs to have it's ac turned off so it can burn to the ground already.

Nope funny pictures. The bin Laden doll was real but I don't think the CIA had them mass produced, someone higher up probably told them it was bloody damned stupid.
