A new look at time.
 

Hopefully, this hasn't been posted before but I just got turned on to this site via email today.

I found it an intriguing view of what happens each minute of each day. Especially interesting is the "now" view.

If you haven't seen it before, enjoy! :)

Wow.

All I can say is (and I hate to, but I have to) .... more people need to start dying.



Thank god for all those abortions!





All you pompous Christians out there ... watch the "Now" view, keep an eye on births, deaths and abortions ... and then think how fast you'd be sharing your house with 17 other people if women weren't in control of their reproductive choices.









ETA: Ok, had to turn it off. The population growth is freak-me-out ALARMING! I won't be able to go to school today or tie my shoes if I keep watching that!

All I could think about with the abortions figure was: how many of those were solely because the fetus was female?

Funny, it took me a while to stop looking at the deaths counter and notice the births. All I could think of was grieving families, ends of lives long lived, tragic young deaths...

I know there are plenty of births to make up for it.

Yes, we do love pointing that out. But I have never seen it before. Thanks.

I agree with Innerspaceman -- more people must die!

(Just not me.)

For some reason this reminds me of Amelie, where she counts how many people are having orgasms in Paris at that moment.

Why don't they count orgasms? Why mostly crappy stuff?

Yeah, I wondered why it is almost all bad stuff (divorces but not weddings, for example).

Also, that earth temperature number is completely meaningless within such a context (and also suffers an excess of significant digits). Not claiming that it's point of increasing global temperature is wrong but that number has, at best, a tenuous connection to reality.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but the website points out that, out of all the facts listed, temperature of the earth is the one that is somewhat dubious.

As is the one for the number of tacos eaten.

From some website:
And that's just a rough guess of men!

That's hot.
