You forgot they're also criminal masterminds who smuggle in thousands of dollars in drugs over the border, kill hundreds of Americans without getting caught, are master engineers that build massive tunnel networks underground, and scam the government out of billions of dollars via welfare programs.

Honestly I wish immigrants were the people conservatives think they are because they'd have an insane set of skills we could use.

I think I'd rather be launched into the sun over Jupiter. The sun you die pretty quickly as you get closer to it. I can't imagine there's much that could stop heat once you get past Mercury. Jupiter though? Jupiter is fucking spooky. Its core is hot like any molten core, but there's no crust. You'd fall through the sky and just keep falling for hundreds of miles. You'd eventually die from the heat like you would with the sun, but you wouldn't be able to see anything. At some point all you can see is goop. It's like being underwater in the Mariana Trench, but the water is nitrogen, metallic hydrogen, and liquid silicone.

Yah the reason Europeans have stuff like free education and healthcare is because the US does all their dirty work. Iraq is a perfect example. The US took very little oil for itself, continuing to rely on South American and domestic fossil fuels. But Iraq wasn't keeping its oil for itself, it was all being siphoned off to Britain, France, Norway, Germany, etc.

This was the case in my town when In-n'-Out burger opened up. The line there is still huge years later now after it opened. We tried it to see what the big deal was and it was...slightly better than Burger King? Yet it costs the same as a local burger joint who have way better food. I do not understand American taste buds.

Yeah. Caterpillars are moth/butterfly larvae, which are insects. I think ant and termite larva are similar (but stumpier).

He doesn't appear until season 2 and it's hilarious. He's in every episode after that.

If I remember right, the way it's depicted in the show is basically how it went in real life. DeVito showed up to the set and was like "let me be part of the gang!" and they were all "okay why not?"

tl;dr-- the cruelty is the point.

US is the first and only country to ever use an atomic bomb. And not just one bomb: two. So of course we wouldn't launch a preemptive strike, right?

If there are only two digits after a decimal and less than four digits before, you could probably figure out if someone was doing budgeting using their computer. Like if the user imput is:

99.99 + 27.63 + 127.48 + 4.99 + 2.99 + 10 + 283.57

.....that looks a lot like someone calculating monthly bills and expenses.
