  • The jaguar (onça-pintada) should be higher. They are arguably the most powerful predators of the Americas. They can run up to 80 Km/h; they can climb trees; they have jaws strong enough to crush bones; they are proficient swimmers, being able to hunt prey in the water, including alligators; their roar is bone-shivering; they are stunning and iconic; they are important for the ecosystem balance. Note that while the jaguar may be phisically similar to the African leopard, the jaguar is faster and stronger, and a better swimmer.








  • Artisanal burgers are much tastier than McDonald’s. In fact, it’s not hard for a real burger to be tastier than a McDonald’s one, at least in my country (I’m not sure if McDonald’s quality is the same in all countries). Here, McDonald’s isn’t very good, and even so it’s quite expensive. Even the most affordable option on the menu is pricey, and it barely has anything inside. Not to mention that these fast food burgers are tiny.

    Hambúrgueres artesanais são muito mais gostosos que McDonald’s. Na verdade não é difícil um hambúrguer de verdade ser mais gostoso que um McDonald’s, pelo menos no meu país (não tenho certeza se a qualidade do McDonald’s é a mesma em todos os países). Aqui McDonald’s não é muito bom e ainda é bem caro; a opção mais acessível do menu já é cara, e não têm quase nada dentro. Sem falar que esses hambúrgueres de fast food são bem pequenos.









  • Their use of nominal GDP while ignoring GDP PPP reminds me of the Tokyo olympics. While China had more gold medals than USA, American news were using the total medal count to sort countries, instead of sorting them by gold medal count. At the final day of the olympics USA surpassed China in gold medals (39 vs 38), and thus the American news returned back to the traditional gold medal count for sorting the countries.
