2025 LC Thread: Now With Added 2026

Wouldn’t have needed if kerowo hadn’t decided to make easily disproven claims with absolute certainty and still be unwilling to have the basic character to admit the error in light of being given the evidence.

This may be right or wrong, but you’re putting too much faith in this kind of scientific literature.

I don’t know what this means. The faith I’m putting is it exists and uses the annual pornhub data as evidence of the claims in the paper. I have not read all three papers I cited, just the first one.

They are peer reviewed and use the pornhub data as a source clearly refuting the claim its made up click bait

I love that Italy and Germany are the only countries that

a) mainly want their own porn

b) no one else wants it

I repeat, you’re putting way too much value into this. Just my two cents, as someone who has a couple peer reviewed pubs under my belt in far harder sciences.

It absolutely could be clickbait trash. Clickbait trash gets published all the time after peer review. I’m not going to look into this specifically because I couldn’t care less about the topic, but it is def possible it’s still bullshit

Japan too, though a few other countries also want it.

As they should.

I got a swimming ear plug get stuck in my ear. My wife was able to get it out with tweezers. Seems like a ridiculous design that it was even possible.

I had half an ear plug break off in my ear and they got it out with an ear syringe. But when I got one stuck up my butt that didn’t work

Germany, Italy and Japan all want their own porn. What else do they have in common?

Germany, you will feel shame for generations to come.

Japan, you will be occupied and have American sports and values shoved down your throats.

Italy, ahhh fuggedaboutit, I can’t stay mad at you!

Yes, but what would happen if it got stuck up your butt?

cost of living, though.

Doesn’t apply to everything. IE - Euro/American kids might be taking a gap year backpacking through Central America, but no Guatemalan kids are bumming around Europe for a summer. Doesn’t matter how cheap life is in Guatemala, they just can’t afford it.

Applies within the US too. Housing and incomes are commensurately higher in California than the Midwest. But a lot of stuff like groceries, entertainment, and travel cost basically the same to a Californian as a Midwesterner. So they feel a lot cheaper to the person from the high income area.
