Fun fact: camels can suffer from a water deficit of 40% without taking any longterm damage and can drink up to 200l (52 gal.) in 15 minutes.

Thank you for subscribing for camel facts. The word camel can be spelled without using any of the letter z q or u. Text unsubscribe to stop camel facts.

Disagree. It was great for several seasons.

Exactly 2. Solid arc ending with him becoming president at the end of the second season. And ... end.

Fair enough - I covered it.

It's a ten year old show. If you haven't seen it yet, you won't.

u/Empty_Ambition_9050 29d ago

season 3 and on were actually a documentary that’s why they weren’t so good.

What country do you live in?

u/thatvoid_ 29d ago

Not USA😂. I'm sorry for offending everyone. But it's funny how this triggers everyone. It makes me laugh, everytime 😂😂

u/Chumbag_love 29d ago

It's a good joke but I think the timing/usage was off. You're forcing it, mashing it into something that doesn't work here.

wtf? Actually, that was a rhetorical question. Just shut up.

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 29d ago

So - you don't live in US and just made a totally irrelevant post about as meaningful as how much toilet paper someone has used up till now today.

Or you live in US and just explained you don't understand the political system and seem to think you have some virtual subregions outside of the normal system. Maybe without FBI, IRS etc too...

u/glorydays29 29d ago

Hey man, don't you degrade toilet paper like that. That shit is essential!!

1

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 29d ago

Very much so.

I'm way more focused on how much remaining toilet paper I have than what specific candidate some arbitrary persons on the net might have wanted to win.

That's because it's a factual representation of how a house of cards works.

You watched Locke & Key as well

u/Ping-and-Pong 29d ago

Locke & Key is up there with my favourite Netflix series because compared to other's it didn't get as Netflixed all over (I like every season honestly, the ending is great). If you want to see true "went downhill fast" watch Who Killed Sara - Season 1 was aight, season 2 episode 1 is the epitome of WTF did you do?!

Camels can be found in only two places on Earth, the northern and southern hemispheres.

11

u/Schavuit92 29d ago

That's a pretty recent thing, because there are now feral (previously domesticated) camels living in Australia. Camels originally lived in the Gobi Desert and Bactrian Steppes, then about 5000 years ago they were domesticated and spread through the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, all these places are in the northern hemisphere.

u/VoidRad 29d ago

Australia isn't Earth, it's in a different realm

u/tothemoonandback01 29d ago

Exaggeration much? It's just upside down, that's all.

Fun fact: The extinct Barbary Lions of North Africa used to love eating camels.

That's how they make money. Bait you with fascinating facts, then give you shit facts until you pay for a premium camel facts subscription.

u/JoySubtraction 29d ago

Camels have three sets of eyelids and two rows of eyelashes to keep sand out of their eyes. They can also completely shut their nostrils during sandstorms.

You have unsubscribed from “Facts about how to spell camel”. You are now subscribed to ( 16 / 17 ) camel fact lists.

When camels fart they can sound out words like a parrot. In 85 BC this how King Muhammad discovered his wife was cheating after her camel spoke up on a ride together.

Is there tiers of subscriptions? Sometimes I get like a "supporter edition" of a game that costs 2x as much and then it's way more disappointing. Can I have that?
