Climate data for Singapore: all-time temperature record is 36 °C

Current weather forecast for Singapore; the temperature maximum is 32 or 33 °C every single day

It will not cease to amaze me that the temperature in Singapore hits 33 °C every day and yet it does not ever breach 36 °C

Commendable consistency

It's an open question whether it's permissible for humans to farm animals for food in general.

But there is actually plainly no justification for factory farming short of "human desire for cheaper meat outweighs infinite suffering of lesser beings"

"Singapore if <a thing Singapore did>"

The standard templete image used in memes to depict a utopian society, usually ironically. Shows a grass lawn in front of a glassy futuristic skyline, with cars flying above

A problem with Singapore is that you can't really do "Singapore if ..." jokes with the image attached, because Singapore already kind of looks like that

The very first minute after stepping inside feels even more pleasant 😌

A neat thing about Singaporean weather is that the very first minute after stepping outside always feels pleasant

do I know anyone in Japan? or do you know somebody in Japan whom I should know?

Singapore, since 1923, is a peninsula(?)

explaining the British TV Licensing system is a fun game you can play with foreigners to watch their shock and disbelief

(it's deeply reprehensible)

Anyone who likes modern architecture more than I do: pretentious twat, brainrotted by elite status games, wreaking havoc on our cities
Anyone who likes modern architecture less than I do:
taste of a 3 yo, can't conceive of higher pleasures, would turn the city into Disneyland

I was made for wistfully looking out of the car/train/plane window

I've still got some vestigial gatherer's instinct I suppose

later we tried hawthorn leaves from some other bush but those didn't look as tasty and so they didn't taste as good either

In other culinary adventures:
Earlier today we walked on a path alongside hawthorn hedges. A thought suddenly entered my brain that the leaves looked very tasty.

(after checking for toxicity online) they were very tasty indeed! Like rocket, but milder

I put it on a pizza slice and I'm delighted to inform you that it actually kind of worked. Salt with a bite to it

beware if I ever cook for you I guess

basically I got gifted a jar of ammonium chloride and now I keep licking it off like a slightly odd mountain goat 😋

the actual reason why Singapore got rich was to completely neutralise the fatal flaw in its name (it puns well as Singa-poor)

Now Yimbies tend to say that the point of finishing HS2 now is to expand capacity, not speed. Which maybe is correct given the sunk cost. But it could have been done so much more directly

They've spent £600 of YOUR 🫵 money (on average) on badly-scoped badly-executed nonsense
