Reply to comment by TheSkiGeek in ELI5: why do grocery stores in the US keep such a large inventory? Aside from being prepared for episodic panic buying like toilet paper or bottled water, is there an economic reason to do this? How much of the food ends up going bad? by DrEverythingBAlright

Reply to comment by Rotlam in The world is (on average) 50% reliant on nonrenewable sources of phosphorus fertilizer to grow food. It won't go away this century, but prices will increase and ~3/4ths of reserves are controlled by one country by fartyburly
But they're part of NATO, so it's cool.

That's disintegration teleportation, but wormhole teleportation doesn't create clones. It's always you stepping through the wormhole.

Please learn more about Spider-Man before posting. I mean damn. This is Spider-Man we're talking about. If you'd chosen some obscure indie character no one knew much about, then you'd have had a chance.

Reply to comment by octagonlover_23 in Frequency of billion-dollar natural disasters in the US (2021 dollars), 1980 – 2022 [OC] by USAFacts_Official
Yeah. Say I'm a developer and I built a building last year worth $10M and I build another one this year. If I get a disaster that wipes them both out, that's $20M lost. If the same disaster had occurred a year ago, my losses would have been $10M, not $20M simply because I hadn't built the second building yet.

Reply to comment by FizzingSlit in Garlic May Have Saved Rasputin From Just One Assassination by Rear-gunner
I also wondered at the use of the word, "just" in the title. It implies some common assumption that he survived many assassinations due to garlic, but that isn't alluded to in the article.
Verdict: bad title. The editor should be poisoned.
