Its some Chinese money laundering/influence buying. First story on Google about it is from CCP owned media.
It appears to have been built by a UK QUANGO called Actis and UAE controlled firm Craft Development.
Prosperity... I can only imagine the names of the stores in there, coupled with at least one McDonalds. Funny how Malls are dying/obsolete here but gaining popularity elsewhere in the third world.
That’s one possibility, sure. Here’s another one to consider: the average IQ in Cameroon is 64.
That means the average Cameroonian is absolutely retarded. Retarded on their best day. And what kind of cultures are produced by retarded people? Cultures that result in shit hole conditions.
I’d argue the state of a given shit hole country and its woeful lack of tech is a direct result of the people living there, not the other way around.
So it would be interesting to introduce chimps to moving stairways and see how they react ... considering their registered IQ tends to be 70-90 ...
And the first thing I see when I google "chimpanzee escalator" is a chimp named Zippy who seems quite at home on the thing.
Don't forget that pigeons are provably better than certain games journalists at spatial reasoning, so it wouldn't surprise me if some chimps can handle escalators without too much issue.
No. Maybe an adult chimp would be comparable with a five year old with a 90 IQ.
That'd STILL be smarter than these humans.
Wait what?
They're not "retarded", just dumb. Same way animals with similar IQs aren't "retarded", it's just their natural state. I want to make that clear because I hate seeing them get off as being not criminally responsible. They're not animals either, again, just dumb hominids.
I believe a low IQ is considered "retarded" in the medical sense, though that word has fallen out of usage in the medical industry because it hurts people's fee-fees.
This made me smile. You're more clever than all the people on that escalator combined.
I wanna see you deal with a paternoster lift if you haven't been in one yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift
Imagine a constantly moving elevator without doors. Kind of like an escalator but you damn well better hope you don't trip.
That thing looks hellish. As if I wasn't already irrationally afraid of being beheaded in an elevator or something.
They can be a bit ... exciting the first couple of times. We've got a couple of surviving examples around here but they're getting fewer and fewer. Once you get the hang of it they are quite efficient, certainly more so than regular elevators.
They can hunt Lions for food but can't step on an escalator
That's hilarious. Reminds me of the Arab in I think Afghanistan or Pakistan who freaked out and ran through an automatic glass door thinking it would open.
You mean like the White people who were stupid enough to almost let themselves get exterminated? Even Africans are smart enough not to deliberately let themselves get outnumbered
There are different kinds of intelligence, and whites are sadly lacking in the "not trusting people who want them dead" department.
Racism is alive and kicking here and on the Twitter page
