More often than people think. The human body is resilient, and most people aren't that good with anatomy.
Also, we have the issue that suicides and suicide attempts in general are mislabeled as accidents due to 1) insurance issues 2) social acceptance.

Reply to comment by Th0m45D4v15 in TIL In the West the largest meal of the day has historically been eaten at midday. It was not until Napoleon's empire there was the "abominable habit of dining as late as seven in the evening" as British travelers reported. The British adopted later dinners by 1850 from changes in work schedules. by jamescookenotthatone
Google "second sleep" you'll find some good articles.
Apparently its the more "natural" sleep cycle without artificial light.

Um... no.
Suicides.
Its just suicides. Mental health took a dive during covid, people were stripped of their social networks and a lot of them were barely holding on.

Reply to comment by Sindri556 in TIL Early drones were developed during the First World War. These radio controlled planes were primarily for target practice but by 1942 a drone with a built in TV camera was capable of delivering a torpedo to a ship 20 miles from the controller. by jamescookenotthatone
The most crazy thing about this little part of history, is not that it happened... but that it worked.

>think about chillies used in asian cuisine etc.
That was a mind blowing moment for me recently. I've been doing a lot of Asian cooking, particularly Thai.
My favorite chili has been Thai chilis, but I thought they were hard to find, and could only find them in Asian Groceries.
Then I found out they are just bird eye chilis, which are a lot easier to find.

There are tons of things people think are culturally much older than they are.
Sushi, as we think of it, is less than 200 years old.
Potatoes weren't an Irish thing until after the New World was discovered, they aren't even native to Europe.
Many spices popular in South East Asian dishes, also aren't native to those areas (instead again the New World)

>I think bourbon is only allowed to be called that if it's made in the US for example, so thus all the bourbon money goes to the us
Except US laws don't apply outside the US.
You can make all the Bourbon you want, and sell it outside the US all you want, and you could even call it Bourbon.

>How do hunters distinguish them?
You can send the brain, or other nerve material to be tested. However, there are no known cases of CWD spreading to humans.
Most wildlife agency offer this for free, as tracking infected deer, is a concern for them.

Modern Olympic fencing consists of three weapon types.
Foil, Epee.... and... and... Saber.
The modern Olympic sport of Saber fencing still shows its roots in its use as a calvary weapon.

The adoption market has a shortage of babies.
Plenty of teenagers with mental health issues though.

My girlfriend recently got two cats from a local shelter, ran over 200 for both.

That's what people say to free lancers /contractors to get them to do free work.
But lets say you are 100% right.
In that case you go to the copyright / trademark holders and you make your case, get a license to use said trademark / copyrights.

Nothing. You can just keep making/printing more marbles with no ill effects. Some people will claim this causes "inflation", but its not true.
