individual canadians confirmed as 5 gays in a trench coat

you mean not everyone is 5 gays in a trenchcoat? how many gays in a trenchcoat are you?? 4? 3? one???

nihilsupernum is three Belarusian pretty gays in a trench coat working for the KGB. I have no idea how many gays the average Californian is, but I’d suspect it’s a lot.

My younger kid: “I don’t want to die. I want to live forever.”

My older kid: “It’s not that everybody dies, it’s just that everybody so far has died.”

Roughly (very roughly) 107 billion people have ever lived. Given a living population of 7 billion, this means it’s much too soon to use that saying that “life is a condition with a 100% mortality rate”. Empirically, life is a condition with a ~93% mortality rate.

Seven percent of all the people who have ever lived, it’s not too late to save.
