The 1% is indeed just one of those figures. Apparently, the Sahara Desert measures over 9,400,000 square km(3,630,000 sq miles). That 1% would be more than twice the size of The Netherlands to cover in solar panels.

Actually, it didn't even get to the 5% threshold. Article says that 5% is the point at which a user can notice an increase in speed, which it didn't make. Just saying.

If brains were vital, animals like jellyfish or starfish wouldn't be alive. Then there are many single-celled organisms and of course plants who are characterised by a lack of one.

I think every living organism requires the means to reproduce, whether it be through copulation or parthenogenesis where only 1 parent is needed.

Anyways I need my right-hand so I vote fingers.
