I'm not sure who to believe, but I found this.

The Wikipedia articles sources are pretty good if you look at them.
Ok ! Wikipedia usually has the references. To be honest, I didn't check.
Hitler is like the ultimate negative brand-endorsement.

Obviously it's something to grab onto when you're thinking.
nintendo was founded in 1889 as a playing card company, coca cola was founded in 1892, and the book dracula was published in 1897.
so technically you could have a dracula adaptation where dracula drinks coke and plays nintendo, and it would be historically accurate.
The words moron, imbecile, and idiot are not interchangable. The one with the highest level of intelligence is a moron, followed, by an imbecile, and then idiot. https://m.stacker.news/22393

Pandas poop most of what they eatPandas poop most of what they eat
Pandas basically only eat bamboo, which also happens to be incredibly hard to digest. That means that these adorable animals must eat about 30 pounds of the stuff each day to get enough nutrientsβdefecating about four-fifths of what they eat.
Not only that, but what they do digest is not especially easy on their gastrointestinal system. These guys should really consider a change in diet.
Combined with the fact they seem completely unbothered about mating π€― do these guys even deserve saving? π€π€·πΌββοΈ
We should not save pandas πΌ but we will because they are cute and the unofficial mascot for China π¨π³
Regarding their fertility rate, its lower than South Korea π°π·
I agree, they are super cute and the babies are even more cute! Perhaps us humans will require such high maintenance fertility help in the future, but at least we eat a more varied diet and enjoy mating π€£π€£π€£
