Reply to comment by Flashwastaken in TIL, canines have a more sensitive CFF of up to 80Hz or 80 flickers per second. "This might explain why most dogs cannot be planted in front of the television to engage them, it doesn't look real." by chandu6234
>designer crossbreed
They are controlled crossbreed from 'pure' breeds. E.g. most cavapoos are from a pure Poodle X pure Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. You do get some Cavapoos born from Cavapoo X Cavapoo, known as F2's .. but that's how you get recessive genes causing problems.

>cavapoo
It's a very common Poodle crossbreed, with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel .. one of the OG 'designer crossbreeds'. They are very similar to cockapoos.

My cavapoo will watch the TV happily, waiting for an animal to bark at. We've tried a few different TVs.
He can't see anything on the phone though. Never engages with it.

Reply to comment by GreenDemonSquid in TIL that FIFA is a French abbreviation, it would be IFAF in English, and England weren't an original member despite creating the game. FIFA also now has more members than the UN by BXCellent
Quick example : The United Kingdom is a single member of the UN - but England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all seperate FIFA members.

Reply to comment by henrysmith78362 in TIL the United States is the country with the most Nobel Prize winners by Heliochem
My take on it is (and I'm Jewish myself) we rode on the back of the German/European industrial and scientific revolution. Our population is historically educated and literate, but not scientific. Some parts were wealthy due to a strong history of trading and finance. It was an affluent and succesful, if minority, part of the pre-WW1 European population. As Europe succeded at science - so did the Jews. Bring on the rise of facism in Germany, and you get the Jews who could, leaving and going to other place - most notibly the USA. So.. you take them to a well-funded, scientific favourable country and they keep winning Nobel prizes. Nuclear bombs and rocket science.. perfected in the USA with European talent driving it.
I don't actually think you'll see it happen anymore; as jobs in science aren't as favourable within the Jewish community (outside of Israel) as they have been.
