It kind of isn't. The EU is giving the cell companies guidelines on how they should test their batteries, and then report their numbers back to the EU. So "Apple" are testing their apple phones and then telling the EU their alleged numbers.

Doesn't mean they use the same chemistry. There's a lot of different lithium batteries.

Samsung isn't even using the latest\greatest tech in cell phone batteries. The Redmagic 10 pro uses a silicon-carbon anode based battery in a dual cell form. It means fast charging is split between 2 batteries so there's less battery damage on a recharge, and the chemistry is more energy dense.

Also, it seems the cell phone companies self assess the tests and report them to the EU, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

Yeah, but when I was a kid back in the 80's and saw them in the mail order catalogs, I completely believed they were just head and neck massagers.

I didn't think I actually watch a lot of TV, but fuck me, I've seen pretty much every episode of every one of these shows, minus Brooklyn 99. Made it like 3 seasons and got bored with it.

But I did mine of little popping fountain firework in ultra slow mo and it actually looks really cool...

Most of them pictured aren't even French cut.

I don't know if I'm going mad or the Internet has been scrubbed clean of it, but I can't find a source anywhere on my 2023 claim, now. It was an article I'd thought I read pretty recently.

It happened while Biden was president, though. Like 2022|23.

Why do you think it's comparing that at all? It gives no hint to the gulag, USSR, or any other time period.

Lol. Not population. PRISON population. Jesus

Do you not understand math, percentages, or numbers? Or that it's speaking of today, and not what it was 40 years ago?

The claim is that RIGHT NOW if you were to count up every prisoner from around the globe, 22% would US prisoners.

Now I have no idea if that statement is actually true or not, but the arguments you're making against it have dick all to do with what the meme claims.

Prisoners are charged for their time being locked up. They have to pay them back if they're ever freed.
