You mean, the rest of the Asia has gone below even further? Also, birthrate isn't the only factor, and birthrate of Japan is highest among developed Asian countries, it's not highest overall

There are countries that decline in population even though they try to offset it with immigration, Japan is ahead of everyone in that.

But every time someone talks about the decline in population they usually aren't afraid of people going extinct, they are afraid of working hands supply going low imo ๐ŸŒš

To fit by size or by mass?

That's likely irrelevant, as rolling friction may be made quite low anyway

Most likely, yes. If anything, a bird may stand in reverse and flap the wings in front of itself.

But I would expect that its maneuver ability would allow it to do so in different ways ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Are you sure it's kilometres per hour, not miles?

I never rode a bike at 45 km/h but I reached 40 and that's an ordinary town bike without engine

Nah, that's just lobbying

Well, they are trying to pull out their own cryptocurrency, they integrated a wallet into the app, added an ads marketplace, I think I heard of plans to add apps like in WeChat. Also they added stories, but everyone does that now

Plus, on every occasion of service issues with WhatsApp and other stuff they brag about how many users converted because of that.

I personally dislike WhatsApp for two reasons, one is Meta, and the second is they keep partially losing my message history and contacts every time I migrate to another device

Edit: oh, yeah, and Telegram wants business accounts to be able to use Telegram as a landing, pretty much like many do now with Facebook (this practice I find abominable, but that's another point)

Don't know, it feels like he was (maybe still is) quite good at marketing and found a good team back in the days, but now they are just another big company trying to make a western WeChat and becoming a monopoly.

I like the product, but I am a bit wary of the founder and their strategic course

It would've been funnier if Debian was Porsche, Lamborghini, or Ferrari:

like these

Porsche tractor

Lamborghini tractor

Ferrari tractor

They get power from it (and money), that's enough reason for many to be anti democratic
