Reply to TIL that modern store mannequins can now record video, sound and automatically analyze demographic data and customers reactions to products from facial expressions analysis by human8264829264
Expression analysis indicates this man is attempting to have sex with the mannequin. We're adding that to the demographics.

Reply to comment by nouille07 in TIL that cats are more vocal with humans than with other cats. by Everyusernametaken1
I had something similar happen.
The oldest and most vocal cat passed away and it was like the younger one said "Well I guess it's my job now. That food bowl ain't gonna fill itself!"

Reply to comment by Shitinmymouthmum in TIL that all the gold that has ever been mined in all of human history could fill about three Olympic-sized swimming pools. by westondeboer
If they said the amount of gold mined last year I would 100% accept that but I don't know how they estimate all the gold mined by ancient people like the Egyptians or the Inca.

This may be true? An Olympic pool could hold 50,000 tons of gold and the estimated amount of gold ever mined is 200,000 to 250,000 tons.
I'm not sure where that estimate comes from, tho.

Reply to TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7
What sort of deep and sorrowful song were they expecting from Bob the fucking Builder?
