Love Ricky's comedy. As an aside, there's a limit to how big a land animal can get because of a thing called *_"surface area to volume ratio."_* Without going into the details, animals like King Kong are a physical impossibility in Earth's gravitational field and the amount of oxygen in the air.

[@MF-xp9tq]

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing that information. Is there someplace where I can find more about this? (Of course, the source would need to explain it to me like I'm a 10 year old😷)

[@warren52nz]

@@MF-xp9tq I can explain it in simple(ish) terms. The hardest part is realizing that a solid object's (think of a ball) surface area increases as the square of it's diameter and its volume increases as the cube of its diameter. So if you double its width the surface area goes up by 2² = 4 and the volume (weight) goes up by 8 (2 X 2 X 2 = 8). Volume (weight) is what pulls a falling thing down (gravity) and surface area is what slows it down by wind resistance (that's how parachutes work... big surface area). So if you've got 8 times the weight but only 4 times the surface area you'll fall faster. That's why a mouse can fall from any distance and survive but an elephant can't even lift all of its legs off the ground at the same time. It's amazing horses can jump so high! The same principle is at work with a land animal. Its legs have to hold the weight and a big animal has a LOT of weight but there's a practical limit to how wide their legs can be and still be useful. That's also why whales can get so big... they're floating so they don't need to support their weight. Make sense?

I don't know how many people Pol Pot killed with his own hands (probably fewer than 100,000), but under his Khmer Rouge regime, between 1.5 and 2 million people were murdered. That was a quarter of Cambodia's population at the time. Way worse than what Ricky thought.

At this time 20 years later, the human species has worked hard to swipe thousands and thousands other species from the surface of earth.

[@PaulVerhoeven2]

Don't worry, zoologist have invented thousands, probably tens of thousands of new species in that time. I hope you understand that the concept of "species" is a human invention, right? Putting all the variety of organisms in tiny little boxes according to completely arbitrary principles (which are different for different "scientists") to publish papers. If they'd use the same principles they use for other kinds of organisms, humans would be like 50 different species at least, but it would not be politically correct.

[@Andy-ej4bb]

A useless bit of info about bats... There are around 1,250 species of bats out of around 5,000 species of mammals, which means around 25% of mammals can fly.

[@animezia]

F LOGIC. Number of species doesn't amount to population. There is 1 species of humans alive, and there are 7.9 billion people as of November 2021 demographics. So, the correct statement is - 1,400 species of bats, 6,495 valid species of mammals. 21.5% species of mammals Are Capable of Flight. Do not feel attacked. I just made a minor correction. edit: I realized that you were right, you just didn't use accurate numbers, srry lol

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died for you. ()
