There are figures that suggest a different picture, but hardly anyone knows them. In 2013, the former Schwyz public prosecutor Lorenz Müller wrote a “behavioral analysis of serial arsonists”. Based on a survey of German-speaking Swiss cantons, he examined 19 series of fires with a total of 21 perpetrators. Of these 21, three were current and one were former firefighters - their share was therefore just under 20 percent. Müller’s conclusion: the firefighter as arsonist is not “such an unjustified cliché” after all.

There were many arsonists who were actually firefighters:

Those indeed came back to the scene.

I made a bigger one which sends its state to a 64x64 LED matrix sitting at home. Someday when we feel brave enough I will publish it’s URL ;)

Many many years before canvas was a thing I made a tiny tiny version of it on my domain and let people know about it with stumbleuponit.
At some time I decided to log the pixel changes and it seems, some had had fun with it. (They “played” Pong at some time.)

Just curious: This is a toy?
I mean… if a kid holds up this toy to a cop, what would be the most positive outcome?

In case you weren’t joking:
Look at the bottom part of it. You can insert it into the coin “slot” to unlock the cart and pull it out right after.
No more losing a tiny little plastic chip or searching for the right coin - especially if you prefer to pay without cash.
(Also, I do return my carts.)

Flawed. Here, you must insert a coin (or if you have it, a token with the shape of the coin) that will only be returned after you put the cart in the correct place.

Oh, how about those furless apes? I heard their offsprings have to be supervised ALL THE TIME for several years or they might kill themselves by accident. Crazy!
