This is pretty fun! I'd suggest having the spellcheck suggestions not pop up correct answers (I typed "Ireland" and it asked if I meant Iceland, which was one of the answers I hadn't gotten to yet). And, for that matter, I'm not really sure why Ireland was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it shares its island with NI, but the DR shares its island with Haiti and DR was accepted.

Funny story: I came across some money and instead of buying Bitcoin (which at the time was selling for ~$30) I bought 6 big pails of honey from a local farm. Honey never goes bad, and during an economic collapse it would easily have the same value as Bitcoin.
I ended up eating all of it in a year instead.
I like honey pretty well, but I have no idea how I'd go through 6 pails of it a year. Did you use it in your coffee and also put it on toast every morning or something?

Before clicking on the link I assumed circumcision actually. Basically half the population has got it done :D
(I know that the rate has lowered over the last years, but USA still has what... 85+% ? Even higher in South Korea e.g.)
I was thinking maybe wisdom teeth extraction.
