  • The swedish version of this is called swish. I once got my CC skimmed and someone was buying stuff in Tokyo. Loss prevention called me and asked me if I was in Tokyo. I said no, and he blocked my card and started going through the latest transactions.

    -So, did you buy xxx at yyy? -No. -How about xxx at yyy? -Nope. -Ok, I have a transaction that says “hookers and blow” -Yup, that one is mine. -…Ok






  • The problem is that scientists usually suck at explaining things to non-scientists.

    People who lack the ability to envision how evolution would work over millions of years hear, “we evolved from monkeys” and think, “well, why the fuck are there still monkeys? This makes no sense.”.

    A logical thinker understands that, “yeah, a specific branch of monkeys millions of years ago started doing something differently or had a genetic mutation that made them branch off from the rest of the monkeys”

    Scientists: “global warming is coming!” Regular people: “nice! I hate being cold.”
