I actually find the 50s special effects kinda charming.

1. From what I have heard, am I to believe that it is now being made illegal for people to put on Shamu-esque Orca shows? And if so, why exactly is that the case?

2. What about the lion species made the title; king of the beasts fit?

3. If the lion is the king of the African wildlife, then what animals could be considered the kings of Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America's wildlife?

I think those continents also all had lions at some point - except for Australia. But they had several close alternatives , like the extinct marsupial lion, and the mega ripper lizard

I get unreasonably frustrated at those internet pictures where there is some simple math problem, and then a thousand idiots in the comments getting answers with error margins of thousands.

How hard is it to learn the basic order of operations?

What was your mnemonic for the order of operations?

  • Please
  • Excuse
  • Multiplication
  • Division
  • Addition
  • Subtraction

Of course, that's simplified to the point of inaccuracy. You start with the highest-level grouping of parentheses or brackets and apply it to what's just in those, then work downward, then do exponents/roots (which are the same operation forward and back) in one pass, then multiplication/division in one pass, then addition/subtraction.

But after people stop taking math in school, they really only use calculators that do one operation at a time, and since most expressions they work with don't use multiple orders of functions at once, they get into the habit of just reading math problems right to left and doing each operation as they come to it.

I get frustrated when people use math as a measure of how intelligent you are. Considering I have a learning disability that specifically affects math...

Since that ship is gonna be named after Sir David Attenborough despite the winning entry in the competition being Boaty Mc Boatface........A petition has now arisen asking old Davey to change his name to Boaty Mc Boatface instead.

Honestly, speaking as a non-American, your election gets weirder every time I hear about it.

...does Donald Trump even exist?

The more I hear about him, the more I believe that he is some sort of tyrannical cartoon character rather than a real person.
