Reply to Prove me wrong, go ahead by MagicALCN
Prove you wrong? These designations were created during the Cold War to classify soviet (second world) anti-soviet (first world) and neutral (third world) countries. America, by definition, is first world. It isn't an economic or number of issues type system as many misinterpreted it to be.

Reply to LPT. If you have a stressful job that makes it difficult to sleep because you just can't stop thinking about it, name your Hue™️ bulb powered nightlight 'Brain'. When you're ready to lay your head down on your pillow, say, "Hey Siri*, turn off brain." [* no doubt works with Alexa also 😉) by Stoon_Slar
Go find a new job if you can

Reply to LPT Request: how do I sleep well before an important early start the next day? by SecretSnorlax
Struggled with this my whole life. Melatonin, sleep meds, you name it, don't work.
One thing that has worked for me though is to trick my mind into thinking I'm taking a nap. Like I'll get off work, and then I'll go hit the bed with my lights still on immediately. No shower, no teeth brushing, no food. Kind of trick my mind into believing that I'm not "sleeping" but rather just taking a short nap. Usually get about 6 hours of sleep this way. Gives me a chance to clean up in the AM and eat a bunch/hydrated etc.

Reply to Future Timeline has removed its prediction about a cure for Alzheimer's disease by 2036 by ixfd64
I'm curious if it has to do with the major blow Alzheimers research took when it was discovered that a big chunk of our understanding was based on fabricated data.

Speculations of life perhaps but proof would require observing some form of life, which hasn't happened quite yet

Reply to would we get back to the ancient times? by [deleted]
Well, despite people's general lack of know-how in the first world, we have libraries spread out in every city with more knowledge in them than in any era before us so we'd automatically have a leg up on ancient times. Once the panic settled, we'd probably just be in a slightly more advanced industrial revolution era.

Reply to LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy
While there's not a ton you can do if it isn't in your genetic cards, the biggest thing you can do is make sure you eat a healthy and balanced diet and exercise. Lots of protein and greens to make sure you have the building blocks to grow. Most people get another little growth spurt between 17 and 21 so you've got a bit more time.

To my understanding they generally have either heavy cream or half and half mixed in but it sounds like there must be some recipe differences out there.

Wouldn't that be essentially an Italian soda? People drink those all the time in the US. Soda water, flavoring and cream. Doesn't seem unusual to me tbh.

Look up the definition of art. You'll find that skills/imagination are a requirement for art but talent is not. Don't have to answer but are you an artist?

This is ridiculous. Art is heavily skill based. It comes from within but without a medium of expression it is useless. Art lessons are not a scam in tons of cases. How on earth are you suppose to learn how to paint, sculp, draw, play music etc. without someone teaching you? Are people suppose to share their skills for free? No.
