- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 1 day ago:
I think it definitely makes sense and I’m not sure I’d notice if I read it. I might assume it is a localized English thing (“how are you going” in Australis, or “standing on line” in New York)

Not for today’s sad prices. Holy moley.
- Comment on MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam 3 days ago:
Art style is amazing and extremely well-executed, but yeah, the gameplay sadly never did anything for me. Also there was something about the sound design and especially the story that just…didn’t click for me. There just wasn’t much fun for joy in it.

When I was a kid, the * key was “squishbug”. Why did that change

No, no, it can only be because of fanboys

It’s not

Correct. Eventually millions of very very tiny squirrels then eat the data once it is discarded.
I’m simplifying a bit, but that is generally how it works.

But can I loot endless amounts of garbage and then force shopkeepers to buy all of it? Because that’s kinda why I play them

- Comment on Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a plant and insect? 3 weeks ago:
On the way across the great plains, families traveling the Oregon trail would sit around the campfire imagining what Leave It To Beaver would be like one day
landed families in the 1500s would invite company over to watch the servants act out the episode where the earl of leicester accidentally makes dates with two women he is courting at the same time and has to be in both places at once

True

Yes, that’s what I replied to. It sounded like they were genuinely not sure (but thought it wasn’t), not making a tongue-in-cheek comment. Guess I was being dumb.

It’s not the origin of the phrase, since it dates back to at least 100 years before television

Jack parr, Tom Snyder, even Craig Ferguson for one experiment, lots of others tried different formats. They’re talking about by far the most common though.

Dude you’re just embarrassing yourself.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Consoles were also a lot simpler then. And we were finding lots of ways to reduce cost ( chip count reduction, etc) as technology evolved rapidly
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 3 weeks ago:
RAM, HDDs, etc are magically not going up in price for them? You think they got some sort of deal that the much bigger manufacturers couldn’t negotiate somehow?
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 4 weeks ago:
6-8 colder vs 3 hotter but yes they may be different
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 4 weeks ago:
The last glacial maximum was about 25000 years ago and was 6-8 degrees C colder than today, globally. There was massive change in global climate, populations, etc. And we survived. And that was before we had established technology beyond stone tools, had relatively very limited starting population and organization, etc etc.
For all of our faults we are very good at adapting and surviving. More that nearly any other species.
We’ll survive whatever is coming as a species. Even nuclear holocaust is unlikely to totally wipe us out.

Dude we made it through that already

There are virtually no scientists that think all life on earth will go extinct.
