When bears hibernate, do they have really long dreams?

Do caterpillars know they're going to be butterflies, or do they wake up wondering wtf they can fly?

As regards caterpillars and butterflies ..

As I understand things ..

When the caterpillar or maggot or whatever goes into it’s pupate state ( in the casing) it’s dissolved by it’s own stomach acid and turns into a liquid and then gradually the cells reform into a completely different solid ( butterfly ) !!

Apparently scientists don’t fully comprehend the process to this day ..

All these baby chickens being reared for sainsburys and Tesco's.etc etc...

Are we to believe a cockerel has fertilised all those chickens? Or are chickens man made!

How did the Anime community think that the first Season of Vinland Saga was a masterpiece?

How do the Anime community think that Chainsaw Man is a masterpiece?

How did Sega think turning an Action Brawler series like Yakuza into a JRPG was a good idea?

Why is HOTD so boring compared to it's parent Show?

How did CBS make FBI: International so lackluster?

Why does the Resident Evil 4 Remake look so boring?

Why was Resident Evil: Village so boring?

Why do the GBP vote for the Tories all of the time?

Why do people read The Sun?

And why does China eat Cat & Dog?

I think that's it.

Fair point.

I do genuinely wonder how people can stomach The Sun, especially after all of the stuff that it's done.

But to follow the thread properly, I do wonder who was the first ever person to translate a language into their own native tongue?

Because obviously back in the day there would've been no classes for people to be taught another language.

Like for example how the **** did English and Finnish people ever learn each other's languages?

Agreed. The storyline itself with all its clunky extremism (which realistically wouldn’t be given half a chance to run openly anywhere near Manchester in 2023) is hard enough to watch. The fact that the main player in this grooming story couldn’t sell it out of a paper bag or act his way out of that space doesn’t help one bit. I cringe throughout his scenes.
