Reply to After about the first 17% of our lives, humans reach peak natural physical performance/potential (about age 17-18) and then the rest of our lives we degrade. But a deer for example can live to about 17.5 years and after 1st 25% (age 4-5) of their life they are beasts of max strength. by Charisma_Modifier

So essentially, deer decline starts with about 75% left and ours starts with like 83%. Why do we peak so early in our lifespan?

Reply to Humans are so violent, considering they are hairless, teethless, clawless, venomless monkeys. by -TheDerpinator-

Tell that to my dad, who was born a monkey and now lives with his mother and father in New Jersey City and has been a member of the American family since his birth and was raised on the farm here in New Pennsylvania when I moved to the United marshlands and the first time we ever had any real snow there it is so cold out there it’s just like freezing cold and it’s like freezing and cold and it’s so cold and it’s cold it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s so cold 🥶

Reply to $10 is the new $5. by hearsdemons

I looked up inflation rates according to the Bank of Canada. Looks like $5 in 1990 is worth $10 now. So yes, if you were alive and spending money 33 years ago, in Canada, this shower thought is correct.

Me, in 1990, I was buying five-cent candies and baseball cards.

Reply to comment by someonepoorsays in W is the only letter in the alphabet with more than one syllable by chronolucks

The Dutch W sounds closer to a V, where the English is closer to an O. The W has a vibration to it, which makes quite a difference. You might not be able to get the sound though. Children spend literal years to learn the intricate motor skills required to make certain sounds. That's why we don't tend to lose accents.
