Phoenician pro-tip: if you use a letter for each individual sound instead of one for every word, it makes for a more efficient writing system. Also DO NOT fuck with the Romans or random weirdo desert tribes they will murder you without mercy.

What were they thinking would happen, Florida is one of the worst places in the world for mosquitos and disease in general, or at least it would be without modern medicine. Even the Amazon has the advantage of not being one massive brackish puddle.
I don't actually use TikTok or even the "sliding" function on youtube shorts, but I feel like my attention span has gotten much worse after they started getting popular.

Anyone else notice that short videos are making their attention span worse?
