Harambe was just the first casualty. The root cause was the weasel in the Large Hadron Collider shortly before that event, which shifted us into the bad timeline.

jmiller@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the most evil media corporations in the world?5·1 year agoOh, agreed!
jmiller@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the most evil media corporations in the world?10·1 year agoSure, to get them to speak in unison. They did all read from the same script though. It wouldn’t be as viscerally creepy without the editing, but I would say the situation is as bad as the video makes it seem.
jmiller@lemm.eeto Interesting News from Around the World@lemmy.zip•Three people ‘sucked out’ of apartments as they slept by typhoon-like winds in China52·1 year agoTIL! I had never heard the typhoon was used for both tornados and hurricanes in China, had just heard of their Typhoon rating sytem that seems to apply more to what would be called a hurricane in the states.
But the storm in the article was not a tornado. The 3 people who were pulled from their homes lived in a high rise, and had large windows that failed in the wind, and they were blown out.
jmiller@lemm.eeto Interesting News from Around the World@lemmy.zip•Three people ‘sucked out’ of apartments as they slept by typhoon-like winds in China221·1 year agoA typhoon is what we call a hurricane when it is over the northwest Pacific Ocean. A tornado is a very different event. A hurricane covers an area 1000x or more larger than a tornado, but the tornado has significatly higher wind speeds, and is much more dangerous if you are directly under it, but you will likely be fine standing in your yard half a mile away. As many cell phone videos show. Until it turns towards you, because they don’t always travel in consistant directions. As many cell phone videos show.
jmiller@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•BYD may build electric vehicle factory in Mexico for US marketEnglish0·1 year agoWell, you are right about the subsidies and going after bigger market shares. And they may not be the highest quality vehicles, but I don’t think they will be terrible either or they wouldn’t hold on to the market share they gain.
They have been making electric buses and forklifts in the US since 2009, and have a decent reputation.
jmiller@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•BYD may build electric vehicle factory in Mexico for US marketEnglish0·1 year agoEVs very rarely catch fire. A vehicle with a large tank of gasoline which is burned to produce power poses a much higher fire risk.
20-60x more likely to catch fire, depending on which study you look at. My first Google result said 20x, but it was on an EV focused website, and I thought they might not be impartial. But Kelly Blue Book should be pretty good, right? Their article says 60x.

My first read, I thought that was the source of the mentioned poisoning.
