When I first saw this graph, the main thing that stood out to me was that Japan has the world's least spicy food.
Even Brits eat spicier food.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The word "spicy" may be misinterpreted to mean how "hot" the food is, while the chart only reflects on how many different spices are used in average, eg. using Vanilla, Seaweed and Dill would count higher than just Capsicum

I literally bought a Tesla at the worst time ever 😭
Last year, June 2022 I bought a brand new fully loaded Model Y Performance.
- No Federal $7,500 tax credit bonus
- No state ($2K - $5K) tax credit bonus
- No free supercharger bonus miles
I paid a whopping $90,210
That same car today is $57,500
(Including $7.5K fed credit + $5K state)
In my scenario (just fed) it’d be $62,500
That’s a massive difference 🤯
I wish Tesla would give us some kickback.
I’m just mad I bought the top and I wish the devs would do something. 😔

Last year, I paid thousands of dollars for a physical at one of the best hospitals in America
I wanted to see how different healthcare was for the ultra-rich, and what this meant for the rest of the healthcare system
Here's what I learned:

This is an actual thing an @Airbnb host said to us when we asked how the AC listed in their amenities worked. It is 100+ degrees in Portland.

tolerance of anti-social behavior, for any reason, erodes social trust, which by extension degrades our whole society. we aren't stopping crime for billionaires, they'll be fine regardless. we're stopping crime so our children don't inherit a third world country.

Daily reminder that cell data providers prioritize traffic to speedtest[.]net and there's absolutely nothing stopping you from registering a VPS you own to the pool of speedtest servers and also running a VPN on it, allowing you to bypass throttling and often have 0GB plan usage.
