  4. Space junk is good for us -- when aliens attack they don't get a clean shot.
    269
  5. I've never seen Obama in person. Perhaps he doesn't exist. Perhaps it's all a big lie, like in the movie Truman Show.

  6. Next TED Talk Title: "If All Men Pee Sitting Down, The World Will Be Less Violent."
    137
  7. This lady is ignorant of cultural and religious differences. We already know what happened when Israeli and Palestinian are forced to live together. And that's just one example. There are people who cannot live with others because they have to have it their way.

  8. Why is Jimmy Lin not as famous as the Kardashians?
    124
  9. She may be a smart geneticist, but she's not a very smart realist. Once the genie is out of the bottle, no global pause can contain it.

  10. Designer boobies... Yay!!
    107
  11. I bet this guy lives within 4 walls.
    107
  12. I don't even think the globe has agreed on the goals.
    93
  13. If you don't do it, someone else will. I believe there are already designer babies walking among us.

  14. You work out
    83
  15. +Go Bogies Go Yep. Me too. We are the opposite to the speaker. She has many callings. I have none. I was raised in a society where what I'm "supposed to be" when I grow up is largely determined by parents, family and friends, and the society in general. And kids are pressured to fulfill that role. Now I'm old. I'm tired. Like someone said above, I just want to live and be happy.

  16. If a random tourist can easily find illegal loggers, there's no way the local authorities don't know about it. The issue at hand is not they don't hear it. The issue is either corruption or bureaucracy. At the macro level, it has to do with the economics of the location. If the local economy is poor, they may steal your cell phones and solar panels first.

  17. Next: Native Americans want America back.

  18. China's next big project -- build the world's biggest canopy to cover the whole country.
    75
  19. Those living in student housing seem happy because they are a highly homogenous community -- similar age (late teens to 20's), same goal (education and beer), financially dependent (parental help or student loan). Try mixing a student house and nursing home together, and see if everyone is still happy.

  20. To achieve SUCCESS by teaching how to achieve SUCCESS. Interesting loop.
    74
  21. DON'T LET THIS GAL FORCE YOU INTO A DECISION. The fear of becoming a "DRIFTER" is the wrong reason to making a hard choice. As a DRIFTER, I understand the pros and cons (and the values associated) presented by all alternatives, but why should I want to be FOR something because I don't want to be FOR nothing? When I'm ready to be FOR something I will choose to be FOR that thing, which, may not even be in the alternatives at hand. Not to mention, life is full of RANDOMNESS. Chance encounter can be beautiful.

  22. I swear my 3rd grade teacher is an alien.
    66
  23. Haha... this is so ANTI-TIGER MOM.
    64
  24. OMG... I was sunbathing naked in my backyard yesterday. I hope nobody saw it.
    63
  25. Don't be a robot. Be a flesh-and-blood human. Follow your instinct, then learn to love your decision. It can be your house, wife, a restaurant, anything. You won't regret.
    60
  26. "China is on the march!!" Yeah... according to a Fortune survey, more than 60% of the affluent Chinese people have already immigrated to another country, or considering doing so. They are definitely on the march.
    57
  27. That's a good one. No social justice BS.
    56
  28. She's cute. I'll do that for her too.
    56
  29. We already do. It's called EARTH.
    55
  30. BLACK CARS MATTER.
    55
  31. It's natural to feel pain for losing a brother. But a religion that kills people for drawing a cartoon and oppresses women has no place in the 21st Century.
    51
  32. Prochlorococcus lives matter.
    50
  33. Earth is a closed system. Water is recyclable. There's no water scarcity problem. It's how humans manage it.
    50
  34. Only if WAKANDA shares with the rest of Africa their incredible technologies!

  35. CLAM LIVES MATTER
    49
  36. Watching it at 1.5 speed sounds better.

  37. To BEE or not to BEE, that is the question.
    48
  38. Hey guys, I just created this new cryptocurrency. Please send me your highly restricted US dollar and I'll send you this unrestricted new cryptocurrency which is approved by me.
    48
  39. This is a TOTAL DISCRIMINATION against people on wheel chair!!
    46
  40. SPACE -- the new frontier of Social Justice!!
    45
  41. This lady supports portable health benefits and universal basic income. Then she says we should live like our immigrant ancestors. Haha... when our immigrant ancestors first arrived America, there's NO health benefits and NO basic income. That's why they struck out and worked hard, because they had to.
    43
  42. For some, staying in jail is a sound financial decision as you never have to worry the next meal -- just let tax payers take care of you.
    43
  43. Helmets don't prevent concussions. Helmets protect NFL executives. It's too big a business to fail, and there's NO WAY Americans gonna give up their love affair with football.
    42
  44. The truth is, no one knows where the world will be in 2030.
    42
  45. Those who can't deal with the REALITY need to get AUGMENTED ;-)
    41
  46. I'm glad they contrast "conservative" with "progressive", instead of "liberal", as the term liberal has been hijacked for too long. I often say I am so liberal (in a classic sense) that I am conservative, but many don't know what I mean.
    41
  47. Disability is a BAD THING. Just find me a person who wants to loose his/her legs, vision, or whatever voluntarily. She's just lucky to be born into a highly civilized society with good support system that she doesn't feel the disadvantage. In another time another society, she may be abandoned at birth. But I agree that she's NOT inspirational. Looking at her speech and other comedian material, it's ALL about her disability. She's just capitalizing on what she's born with, not unlike any of us. Nothing extraordinary here.

  48. In 2014, gay and bisexual men made up an estimated 2% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 70% of new HIV infections, according to a recent CDC study -- https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html
    39
  49. The lobsters that work out a lot eventually grow a brain evolve into Jordan Peterson.
    38
  50. Just learn from the world's OLDEST PROFESSION -- provide what people ultimately need.
