I feel like direct to river is a higher level of twatage than attempting to put it in the bin.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that the Convair Model 118, a tentative flying car from 1947, was shelved because its prototype crashed when a test pilot mixed up the flight engine's fuel gauge with the road engine's and didn't see the former run out. While he survived, this killed interest in the project. by ShabtaiBenOron
I've always said flying cars will not be a consideration until our entire automotive and metro system is completely automated. You cannot trust drivers who are now in the air lol.

Reply to comment by Minuted in TIL that before the invention of regfrigeration in 1851, ice had to be imported to Australia from Boston, Massachusetts. The ice blocks travelled through the tropics inside ships insulated with timber, straw, peat, and sawdust by stumcm
It's bizarre. I haven't had a warm beer in any country. Also a bit like how people think Aussies drink Foster's. You can't find Fosters anywhere here.

Reply to comment by Cetun in TIL: The outflow from Amazon River could fill 83 Olympic sized swimming pools per second. by the_ballmer_peak
That was my reaction. Don't get me wrong, that's a lot of water, but I thought the Amazon would pump more. Its 25 miles wide at some points in rainy season and still 7 miles in the dry. An absolutely monstrous stream of water.
