Hundreds died during this year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia amid intense heat, officials say
  • This is mostly because people are dumbasses.

    People who went the official route, getting a permit and going through a company were ok as they stayed in air conditioned places most the time. These people spend upwards of $5k and much more.

    People who couldn't afford it went through unofficial routes and were forced to sleep outside and had to walk everywhere and even some had to sneak into makkah through the fucking desert.

    Islam doesn't force people to go through pilgrimage unless they can do it both physically and monetarily. Also even of the ones that went through the official route MANY of them are super old with medical conditions and shouldn't have even boarded the plane.

  • China says 2 military employees sold 60 pounds of secret documents to a recycling plant, allowing a shopper to bag 4 volumes for under $1
  • they probably just felt it was a waste to destroy the paper lol

    If it's anything like Egypt, old papers and books can usually be sold to scrap sellers for pocket change and they're sometimes resold to falafel restaurants to wrap the falafels in.

    I assume this is a similar thing in China but replace falafel with the Chinese street food equivalent.

  • it's about an old game called Façade where you visit a couple and talk to them through typing. The AI isn't that good though so when you say melons the husband thinks you're talking about his wife's breasts and kicks you out
