This post is old, but for what it's worth, the sync app handles xkcd links exceptionally well.

Yes. Wifi is 2.4 GHz, speed of light is 0.3 Gm/s. Therefore one wavelength is 0.3/2.4 m/s/Hz = 12.5 cm

What's the joke? Cos I only get 17.4% of it.

No, but it is divisible by 100.

They already are.

The same way food packaging must mention the calorie content in joules and kcal is optional, cars have to be advertised with watt.

English speaking reddit, yes.

If you visit /r/de for example, you'll find that everyone is complaining about Germany being a shit hole country. It's simply unfortunate, if you don't speak a second language, you never get good insight into how people view their own country.

Neither does your comment. So pointing out that "y'all" in this instance is not actually meant to be taken literally is worth pointing out.

Correct. I would drive on the right (side of the road) with this left hand drive car.

Stop it, take this help: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic

The cars yes, the traffic no.

You said driving on the left. That means the left side of the street.

It is bad for the water treatment plants or pipes if its overused. Only water should go down the drain. I can't imagine the comfort they provide makes up for their downsides.

Fraternities are historical I think. At least here in Germany they are.

They pay the costs of going to college (in Germany it's already free, so they simply provide cheap housing) and provide connections to older students and graduates. In turn you are expected to stay as part of the community once you have a job and pay a membership fee that will be used to provide that cheap housing I mentioned.

It made sense back when "not immediately working" once you finished school was really expensive. Not only because of costs, but because of lost wages as well.

Now that the state takes care of this they are losing significance.
