Clearly, the Earth expands like a frog.
Yeah, everyone's talking about inflation, it's obviously true
I swear Lemmy all has the same YouTube recs. Technology Connections, Milo Rossi, and that full Wall-E upload.
So we're all a bunch of nerds.
Milo is one of only a handful of YouTubers I have notifications turned on for. His stuff is always top tier
Yeah, him, Wesley Kagan and a few others actually deserve notifications, and Milo is pretty much the only creator that I’ll watch the Shorts of.
For me, it's just Milo Rossi, Stefan Milo (funny coincidence) and Some More News.
Where the fuck would the water come from? Or go to if we run it backwards? And wouldn't oceans be steadily falling instead of rising?
Milo asked exactly the same thing.
There is no explanation offered.
Ah, yeah. I couldn't take much more than a bit over like 5 minutes.
