Facts I try not to think about:

- More than 2/3rds of the world's avian biomass is poultry

- There are more Panda Expresses than pandas (edit - in the wild)

I didn't know they had Panda Expresses in the wild

And the birds suffer the whole time in giant sheds with no daylight, and then the majority of that entire 2/3rds biomass is slaughtered in a very distressing way every 6 weeks or so.

People then eat chicken and feed the remaining 1/3rd seeds on a bird feeder in their garden.

Aren't there more just about any retail store than pandas?

Looks like there's about 2,500 pandas in the world.

Pandas could fit in the top 20, beating out Panera bread (2,225).

Actually it looks like I had the numbers wrong. There are about 1800 wild pandas and 750 in captivity, while there are about 2200 panda express locations. I think the original fact was "more panda expresses than wild pandas".

It looks like 39 restaurant chains have more than 2550 locations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_fast_food_...

How does

“There are more jiffy’s lubes than pandas in the world “

sound?

Slippery.

Now I want to give a panda a slip-n-slide and film it.

There's one panda called Lingyan (who lives in a zoo in China) that has a slide he seems to very much enjoy using, here's a compilation video of that - https://old.reddit.com/r/panda/comments/1p1ce9r/giant_panda_...
