Reply to comment by cangeola in Immigrant children born in Canada are less likely to follow religion [OC] by cangeola
Yes, second generation Canadians are more likely to be non-religious.
> I noticed when you break down by generation, religion seems to be dropping.
But to me this implies that people are losing their religion by their second generation, which I don't know if you can prove or disprove from this data.
>You’re asking whether the ‘pipeline’ for religions other than Christianity has been established in Canada long enough to make use of this data?
There have been people from other religions immigrating to Canada for many years, but what used to be a tiny minority is growing much faster now.

Are you interpreting this data correctly?
I would suspect that more first generation Canadians who have immigrated recently have come from countries that are Muslim, Sikh, Hindu or Buddhist, whereas more second generation Canadians came from Christian countries.
The demographics of the average Canadians immigrant has changed pretty dramatically in the last 30 years.

I'm trying to understand your life. You spent ~90 days away from home but only a few away from your family... you must have had a lot of family vacations?
Also over a hundred days of crying last year... man that seems like a lot, you okay?

Reply to comment by semideclared in [OC] Top 10 Highest Selling Weeks for Alcohol Purchases at Grocery Stores in the US in 2020 - 2021 vs Super Bowl Purchases by semideclared
There are 7 dates out of the top 10 between May 3 and June 21st. I think there is more going on than just Memorial day to explain that.
I was thinking Christmas in particular, more parties and get togethers. I guess Christmas 2020 was pretty locked down though.

Interesting, I would have thought the highest weeks would be the holidays. May and June seems like such a random time for most of the highs.

> two pizzas
Two pizzas of what size though? You realize two 8 inch pizzas is smaller than a 12 inch. Also definitely depends on how much toppings was on the pizza.

That is basically sprinting for 2 hours straight (3.5 100 meters runs every single minute).

Are you reading this graph wrong? The median age is climbing consistently for over 50 years.
Compared to other western countries it’s been a less steep climb though.

Reply to TIL that Barq's Root Beer was first created by Edward Barq in Biloxi, Miss, in 1897. In 1934, Barq and a former employee, who moved to New Orleans, agreed to each distribute their own version of the root beer, with the New Orleans version having a red label and the Biloxi version having a blue one. by jdward01
I never heard of it or saw it until the Barq’s has bite advertising campaign.
