The implication of that line to my question and that you specified the US in the title of this post indicates that you believe that the US is different.
No, it doesn’t.
And if you read through this thread you’d see, in comments I posted hours ago, why I specified the US.
Might want to review rule 2 in the sidebar.
Not particularly. If you hold the opposing opinion I’d be interested to hear it and the reasoning if you want to share.
If you don’t think it’s unpopular then the sidebar tells you what to do ⬇️.
That’s not unique to the US.
I never said it was. Interesting that you would jump to that assumption though. Are you American/from the USA?
That’s a terrible punch line.
Maybe there is a lot of Sumerians in Louisiana?
Is this like a knock knock joke?
I don’t know. How is it different from other countries?
Ok. Don’t forget to vote to reflect that. ⬇️
I don’t think America is full of irredeemable idiots.
I think there’s a lot of Americans have felt unheard, unrepresented, or otherwise disenfranchised for so long they were left vulnerable to someone like Trump who came in an capitalized on it and manipulated them.
The state of the country today makes me feel sad for Americans more than anything else.
That is true, but then opinions, mine at least, are formed by what’s observable.
*piece
belies your own sense of superiority
That’s an interesting conclusion to draw since I am, on occasion, one of those emotionally reactive morons.
I also don’t consume much mass media or news. I prefer fiction to non.
Beep boop bloop! 🤖
That’s not at all true.

It seems like you’re taking this personally so I’m going to disengage.
I’m sorry strawman, I missed the part of my comment where I said anything about abused people or taking “a break from the abuse to examine the effects of abuse on them”.
I believe what I was speaking to was self determination.
Self-determination is the right to make choices, take control of one’s life
Probably determining that for yourself instead of asking others.
Would depopulation not have a knock on effect though (not enough for sure) or is that accounted for?
Fluid dynamics.
As the urine travels down your urethra it is under almost equal pressure from all sides. As the liquid escapes it loses contact with the vessel.
Through a process called adhesion the water in your product will experience a drag effect as the contact with the waste channel is extinguished. This drag is greatest in areas that contain the most perturbation.
The shape of the orifice that produces the stream produces the vast majority of the perturbative influence.
In this case the opening is a slit which produces semi-toroidal flows in the medium at the polar vertices.
Combine these forces (The sudden loss of pressure, the semi-toroidal flows, and adhesion) and the net effect is a torsion force on the stream.
The torsion force impels the fluid to twist and cohesion (water molecules are kind of like tiny magnets and really want to stick together) keeps the stream together.
There you have it. Why your urine spirals instead of just flowing out like a garden hose.
The spongy urethra runs along the length of the penis on its ventral (underneath) surface… This produces a spiral stream of urine and has the effect of cleaning the external urethral meatus. The lack of an equivalent mechanism in the female urethra partly explains why urinary tract infections occur so much more frequently in females.
Ha! I figured your comment was in jest but as one of those emotionally reactive morons, on occasion, I didn’t want to be one in that moment.
