I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.
There’s some shit there that can scar you for life. Don’t ever go there, seriously.
LMAO what a bullshit, why does this dumb answer has 20 upvotes?
There’s tons of carbon frozen in Arctic permafrost. As the planet warms up, the ice melts, dumping more CO2 into the atmosphere and causing a runaway effect.
Yet we can’t runaway from that problem
You’re never more than eight feet away from a spider.
8 feet = 2,438 meter
Genocides typically are never actually punished and their main perpetrators often get away with it.
If you rape someone in the U.S., your odds of going to jail for it are only 0.01% . A hundredth of a percent. 0.01 out of 100 rapists ever actually see jail or prison.

I highly doubt that for every 10 000 rape cases reported only one is actually successfully pursued by law enforcement.
That fairness doesn’t exist, everyone has their own idea of it based on their background, experience and belief system.
Also called values if I’m not mistaken
Death isn’t synonym of end of the life.
Lack of oxygen at birth doesn’t mean low IQ.
The age of consent in Germany is 14.
Also applies to other countries in Europe iirc, but I can’t confirm that because that’s not something I’m willing to put in my search history again.
Edit: It’s more complex than that, read the replies by @Mrs_deWinter@feddit.de and @Turun@feddit.de.
And you can start drinking beer at 15 if at least one parent is around and agrees.
You can do that at 14 actually.
Only for kids in the same age range. And quite frankly, I think that’s the right way to do it. As if a law would make horny teenagers not have sex.
Setting the age of consent to 18 years just technically makes them pedophiles if you actually enforce it. And I’m of the opinion that laws should be enforced or removed entirely. Having a law and usually not enforcing it gives rise to a dangerous middle ground where persecution depends on other arbitrary factors. Like income, race or how well the cop likes you.
(If you are interested in German law, just reply and I can explain/translate the relevant parts of the law for you)
Edit: translation is also available here: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stgb.html relevant are sections 176 and 182, which combine to give the often cited 14 years. Even though it never says anything about being above 14 years makes something legal! It is phrased in such a way that kids can have sex legally, while also preventing exploitation of minors.
Age of consent in Germany is a staggered system. With 14 you’re able to consent under specific conditions (them being there’s no exploitative element to the relationship), but still could file charge against the older person if they’re over 16. With 16 the first rule still applies; from 18 on you’re able to consent, period.
So for example when I was 14 I had a boyfriend, also 14, and neither of us committed any crime under this ruling. The law acknowledges that teenagers are allowed to have relationships with each other while putting every borderline case through a case-by-case hearing at court.
It’s actually a really good idea, so it kinda is a fun fact.
