Yeah, I was prepared to completely agree with everything, but "lawns"? I have ~100m² of grass where my child and dog are free to play within the boundaries. Is this capitalistic of me?

To pull you back just a little "slutt datafag" is an expression for the subject which you are graduating. Or maybe google reads it as a verb + noun, since "slutt" means "stop" or "end" and assumes that "end" means "graduate" in this context. Anyways I don't think it makes sense as a description for a person.

But you are free to call yourself a "fagperson". This is a very common phrase to describe a person with education.

I tried to use tineye, and I was lead to some other news site which put me in an infinite consent-to-cookies-loop. When I finally consented, I was just directed to an archive without images.

I might have given up early, but my attempt to find the source ended there.

I don't know who came first, and I know that there are others with this exact joke, but this was the first one I have seen. (I was unable to find the author or original source of this one.)

I am one in that first group. ~12 years being very active, thousands of comments and several active communities. Then I quit, fully cold turkey, and have never gone back.

I'm envisioning it as a running gag for the show. 5 episodes in, it's shown that the clip is taken out to the garage for disposal where they have a huge stack of clips from previously bought bread. 2 seasons in, it's shown in the background that a separate garbage collection vehicle runs up to the driveway and a specially built clip hauler is used to pick up the clips. Another season in, a bread bag clip recycling station is passed while the main characters are driving somewhere. Etc.

Yeah, most times, fox news screenshots read like evil capitalist propaganda. But this screenshot just reads like politically neutral information. Am I missing something?

Oh it is explained, though, but not consistently. I have heard explanations of that the light refraction makes the sun look lower when it moves away, to a point where its visibility is hidden by the horizon, like a mirrage of the sky. Another explanation is that the surface of the earth isn't flat, but bulges slightly, like a dome, making the sun disappear behind the dome every day. I'm sure there are more explanations as well.

The thing about flat earth theories is that they always have an answer for whatever you throw at them. They are so committed to their idea, that they will invent reasonings on the spot which become more and more convoluted - often in conflict with other parts of their theory.

I and all my classmates had walking distance to school - almost all of us without having to cross a road. It was very common at that age to walk to school alone, thus being responsible for being on time as long as we were sent out at an appropriate time.

I grew up in Europe.
