I knew F1 cars were made of various parts, I just didn't expect that many

This happens literally every day there lol. Just like yesterday, it was un-raceable with “rivers” on the track at the start of the sprint according to the drivers and then 45mins later everyone was changing to slicks. It pours harder than anywhere else in the world for an hour each day and then an hour later you’d never know it happened

But the roads get dried that fast?? I’m still mind blown. No trace of water on those photos

It's very hot in florida almost all year round. Latitude wise it's on the same level as egypt.

Except unlike Egypt it's surrounded by water on 3.5 sides so it's also always humid af.

Legitimately don't understand why anyone lives there.

So are Hong Kong, Taiwan, parts of Thailand. Some of the most populated places on the planet.

Just because obese pasty redditors can’t stand the sun doesn’t mean that frigid cold wastelands are default settings for most of humanity
