People are downvoting you because you claim that they could do better but refuse to explain how. It’s hard to not take it as bullshit when you don’t substantiate your claim, and why wouldn’t people downvote bullshit in thread like this?

You’re not even talking to the 4chan directly (probably), this is a comment thread on a different site.
- Comment on "Man, I used to beat this level so easily when I was younger..." Me now not realizing I did it on Easy mode 4 days ago:
Personally, I never cared about the cheating aspect, I was never particularly good at gaming and I’d definitely prefer cheating over not finishing a game or trying to bruteforce whatever I’m stuck on for 10 hours. The issue is that looking up stuff casually like many people (including me) do today has a high risk of reducing the fun for no real reason. And I feel like games today tend to be easier and less grindy than they used to be in the dial-up days, too, so there’s also less reason to look anything up in the first place.
- Comment on "Man, I used to beat this level so easily when I was younger..." Me now not realizing I did it on Easy mode 4 days ago:
The real easy mode is looking up stuff on the 'net. It might be subtle at first, maybe you just looked up something when you were genuinely stuck, but before you know it you’re just looking up stuff because you’re impatient or don’t want to take notes yourself.
Though I guess there’s games that are mostly about getting the timing right. Like I don’t think the internet helps much with beating the early Super Mario sidescrollers.

Is it, though? If there’s a non-government person who has the means to protect themselves against fucking missile strikes, one of the richest people on the planet seems like a likely candidate.

Nah, they kill way too slowly for that.
- Comment on Anon wants to make a movie (part 2) 5 days ago:
Meh. The first movie of the second trilogy had tons of issues, too, you can work with that kind of thing if there’s at least a somewhat unified artistic vision - George Lucas had the standing and resources to pull through, JJ Abrams didn’t.
And the suits fucked up, too - there wasn’t anything wrong with the second movie, yet they brought back the guy who supposedly fucked up the first movie.
- Comment on Anon wants to make a movie (part 2) 5 days ago:
The Force Awakens wasn’t the issue IMO, it’s that the followup movies couldn’t be arsed to do any coherency with the previous movies. What did they even think would happen if you switch to a different director for the second movie who wants to do something else with the trilogy, and then just switch back? It’s not even that the second was a bad followup to the first of the trilogy, it’s that the third didn’t really build on the second.

I tried it maybe a year ago. It works as a sandbox, but it’s kind of empty compared to Minecraft and the environments are much less varied. There’s just a lot more to do in Minecraft.

The YouTuber that got me into Minecraft was like 40yo when I started (I was already in my 20s back then for what it’s worth) and is anything but obnoxious. If you’re specifically looking for YouTubers and streamers who aren’t annoying, you will definitely find them. Have you seen regular old children’s TV? “Obnoxious” is just what children like.

It’s true in that almost every food item is made “with science” (university-educated food technicians etc.) these days, but you hardly need science to make common drugs like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine. Coffee and tobacco are just plants, and fruit will spontaneously start fermenting all on their own.

I tried buying more physical books. I have a small stack of it, but I can’t motivate myself to actually keep reading them. And there’s always the danger that I find a page turner that’ll keep me reading the entire night …

Shrug. Hasn’t been my experience. I suppose it depends on the specific medication.

Thanks. Those side effects definitely make anon sound like a dumbass.

Seems to be a myth. Does explain where OOP might have gotten the idea, though.
- Comment on Anon is smart or dumb 2 weeks ago:
What pills would even do that? I know that anti-depressants can have that effect, but it’s usually temporary (i.e. the libido-suppressing effect subsides after taking them for about half a year).

It’s the texture for me. But it’s not nearly as bad if the penis is all the way in.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 2 weeks ago:
The tankie servers are a pretty big part of Lemmy and they’re pretty fucked up, too. I’m not even anti-communist, but that particular brand of leftism is definitely fucked up. They’re only somewhat tolerable because they’re very far from being in power and at least pay lip service to most progressive ideas.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no - those posts would go on lemmynsfw, and AFAIK most lemmy server don’t federate with it.

A bucket of milk with some coffee and a lot of sugar is a great breakfast! You’ll have great shits, too, especially if you combine it with the beer-only dinner!
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 2 weeks ago:
Modern beers are definitely too strong. I’ve been thinking about mixing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer of the same brand to approximate a more reasonable beer, but I usually just end up drinking either only non-alcoholic beer or a cocktail.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
We could just not use any power source that severely damages our environment. Solar and wind don’t have these issues to this extend, even if you include the necessary storage capacity (batteries, hydroelectric reservoirs) and include the resource use for building them.
Though it’s not impossible to use geothermal energy without severely damaging the environment, you just need either a large amount of unsettled land (like Iceland) or you need to be really, really careful and limit the kinds of things you do - using geothermal energy for district heating apparently is a lot less likely to create earthquakes than what Iceland is doing.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 weeks ago:
But that’s often not true. You can either just not do geothermal in areas that aren’t prone to natural earthquakes, force every homeowner to make their home earthquake-proof (which is extremely expensive, probably a lot more than just building batteries for solar+wind) or suck it up when they get damaged, or the owners of the geothermal plant have to pay for any damages (unlikey).
