    We’re actually doing that better than at any time in history. There are more people than ever and poor people are fat. Not physically possible to gain weight if one burns more calories than are taken in.

    My dad helped design the 747! I've always been so proud of him for that because the component he was responsible for has never failed in all of the years that plane has been in service. (He designed the center wingspan. That's the thing that is in the middle of the fuselage that holds the wings onto the plane.)

    Cause it was filmed by a regular ass citizen with a window seat who happened to glance out the window and see something interesting. They had around two seconds to tap the Camera app and raise the phone to the window. Turning it sideways is something you only think about when you have more time.

    Just in case it’s not a chemtrail joke and you are serious: it is water vapour.

    The exhaust is hot and humid while the air at high altitude is cold. The water vapour from the exhaust quickly cools down and freezes into tiny ice crystals.
