Really? You're just going to make a title and post a link? No other input? That's fuckin lazy man. At least expand on this subject.

God damn.

24. There will be a time, when 8 core mobile phones, and savages who cut off the heads, of innocent people, exist at the same time.

25. You will live the equivalent of eight extra years if you quit wasting time on shitty Buzzfeed lists.

I don't have anything to say.

Thought it was an interesting read.

Who's phone has 3 way speakers with 15" woofers?

Or a radar detector

I thought it was neat and learned a few things. Thanks OP.

Wow Betty White is older than sliced bread

1. Cleopatra lived closer to the building of Pizza Hut than the pyramids.

Now we know how long stuff has been sitting on the Pizza Hut buffet.

There was a time when you'd have been banned for using that word. You would have maybe had to substitute "civility challenged" in it's place.

26. List Aggregator sites will continue to draw high levels of traffic until we find a way to kill off a significant portion of the ATOT posters.

That was all about history, not time.

Wow Betty White is older than sliced bread

I'm surprised sliced bread isn't older. Especially since the father of the sandwich, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, died before 1800.

So somehow we had sandwiches without sliced bread?

Bread that is sliced by a person and bread that is presliced mechanically before being sold are different thigns.

I thought this was going to have some scientific facts, not a bunch of fairly obvious historical trivia.

I'm sorry, I did not realize.
In the UK (as far as I am aware), it is a reasonable word to use, as long as you don't start calling someone that. Which I suppose I just did.

Maybe I should have said "People who maybe are making a mistake in life, if they want to chop off innocent peoples heads".

Different twist

In light of #5,6 the internal combustion engine for cars was marketed in the 1880s. Why are we still using it today? Shouldn't it get about 100 miles/gal easily?

5. In the span of 66 years, we went from taking flight to landing on the moon.

6. There is more processing power in a TI-83 calculator than in the computer that landed Apollo 11 on the moon.

 

[Nograts]

I saw a documentary that said some guy in the 30's or 40's invented an engine thingy that would allow people to get like 100+ MPG. Dupont bought the rights to it and he was found dead in the desert a week later.

Because the thermodynamics and physics exist.

We've gotten 100+ mpg on ICE's before. Except you know, you tend to have 2000 pounds of car to lug around.

Thermodynamics and physics exist in IT yet look at the advancements in processing power/storage vs efficiency/size just in the last 20-30 years.

I'm hard pressed to find any other technology that hasn't advanced much in 125 years

Yeah, these type of things usually don't impress me but I thought this one was really cool. Thanks.

The word has the same meaning on both sides of the pond, the issue was people using savages as a substitute for ******, one of two words that are automatically filtered here. They thought they were being clever by making their remarks generic, but anyone with a room temperature IQ could catch their meaning.

We're already hitting slowdowns in processing power increases due to material constraints. The last few years, Intel and AMD haven't released anything much faster than what we already have, just more power efficient.

ICE literally have a thermodynamic equation that sets maximum possible efficiency limits. And seriously, haven't advanced much in 125 years? Are you deliberately being ignorant?
