THAT EVERY FEMALE (SOME SECRETLY) LIKES PUSY
No.
To expand on the concept of black female hair:snoop:I didn't realize that black women naturally had the same hair texture as black men until I was damn near in my 20s:sadcam:

As a kid when I watched movies or looked at pictures from the 70s I thought the women were altering their straight hair in order to achieve an afro:francis:

You can't blame me though, I was born in 88 raised in the 90s which was the apex of ratchett weaves in America:mjcry:

And this revelation is not an example of how dumb I was, but an example of how damaged and brainwashed the minds and self esteem of the majority of black women are from colonization

this video is bull shyt because they are both talking and scaring the spiders.. ive been bit by spiders before in my sleep, once on the back of my head and it woke me up soon as it happened (had to kill the spider after).

She says they wont bite you because of the vibrations from you breathing, but again I know thats bull shyt because ive personally been bitten while sleeping and a lot of those spiders were too big to even go in the mouth. a regular ass daddy long leg or some shyt probably too weak to crawl back out of the mouth

That Arabs had a longer, larger, and more brutal African slave trade than Europeans.

I grew up with the Five Percent crowd and although I never claimed Black Muslim, I felt it was "better" for black people.

Now that I found out about the slave thing, it's insane for black people to adopt either Islam or Christianity and - I will go as far as to say - ANY non African religion.

I am Baptist. I tried to shake it but I always get the feels when I fall up in a church twice a year so I just accept it. They caught me at a tender age. Even so, I don't believe in anything unless the math is right. I reject about 70% of the details of Christianity and I probably fux with 30% of every major religion (the 30%s overlap on a venn diagram).

So not that we all need to declare a new religion, just that we need to read everything and use what's useful.

She says they'll bite if they feel scared or like you are a threat. She says they won't go in your mouth because of the vibrations, it's not a place of safety instead it seems like a predator to them.

The unknown
:duck: makes no sense

(from quora)
First, how many stars are in the universe? The various space telescopes and investigations of the past century have been narrowing in on that number, but it is still not entirely known. For a back-of-the-envelope calculation, we can use an estimate of 10^12 galaxies, each of which has 10^12 stars. I added a link below to an European Space Agency article that puts the total number of stars between 10^22 and 10^24.

Now for sand.
Arid regions cover over 20% of the Earth's land masses. With 70% of the Earth covered in water, that means 20% of the remaining 30% (or 6% of the Earth) can be approximated as "sandy." Now it is true that some arid regions are not sandy (e.g. bedrock-dominated desert lands like those found in central Utah and other areas of the Colorado Plateau), but likewise some sandy regions are not arid (e.g. beaches). Let's assume that for this order of magnitude calculation, those differences balance out to about equal.

So 6% of the Earth is covered in sand. What does that mean? Well the radius of the Earth is 6,378 km, and with a quick 4/3*pi*r^2 we get that the surface area of the Earth is 1.7 x 10^8 km^2. 6% of this is then about 10^7 km^2. Say the average depth of active, non-lithified sand in these regions is 1 m. Now we have 10^4 km^3 of sand total.

So how many grains are in 10^4 km^3 of sand?

That depends on many things, but the easiest one to consider is the size of your sand grains. If we assume the world is full of only medium sand (i.e. 250-500 micron diameter grains), and we assume that they are all nicely packed spheres, then we can estimate how many sand grains are in one cubic kilometer of sand.

In general, sand does not pack quite so nicely, and not all grains are the same size, but let's roll with it and see what we get. Remember this is an order of magnitude calculation.

Let's call all our grains 250 microns (1/4 mm). So in a cube of space, 1 km long on each side, we could fit 4 million grains of sand in each dimension. Thus in the box there are 4 million cubed or roughly 10^20 grains of medium sand per cubic kilometer of sandy space. Recall that we have 10^4 km^3 of sand and we have 10^24 grains of sand on Earth.

Cool!

So depending on what parameters you pick, I would say that there are about as many grains of sand on Earth as there are stars in the universe.

When I found out the Tasmanian Devil character from Looney Tunes was based off Black people of Tasmania.

Learning that Black people actually had a community(not like what we had now) before we started begging for integration which ultimately lead to the destruction of said community.
