Nope. I don’t think the dev ever posted logs or an Easter egg guide, but I suppose I could ask! I believe their name is Orion Moon, I’ll go look for him on Twitter or something
- Comment on Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans? 9 months ago:
It’s exactly like an addiction…one that’s intrinsically reinforced by these communities by their messaging. They always include the tagline “they don’t want you to know this!” and it keeps them in due to FOMO or not wanting to feel stupid. It’s a rough situation.

I’m a woman, but we’re not married. I don’t think he’s ever heard of Joe Rogan, but I personally have seen that name thrown around a lot (though I’ve never listened or watched him). He’s certainly somewhat paranoid, which covid has made worse, but it’s on the weirder side. Like, just today he came home and during a discussion about red velvet cake, he drops the “did you know red food coloring changes your DNA???” And I’m just like…wtf? He said a teacher (who used to be a surgical doctor) told him this, so it must be true. I asked him if the doctor could back it up, and he seemed bewildered that anyone would lie so straight-faced.
I think he takes a lot of things at face value without stopping to check if things are true because they match an internal bias. This is something I’ve been trying to work with him on because his overly trusting nature has gotten him into trouble a few times.

Thank you for this input. I hadn’t considered that, and it is worrying.

Yes! This is actually a discussion I had with him recently. The subject of men’s “empowerment” leaders had come up (Andrew Tate, etc, who thankfully he hasn’t heard of yet), and we talked about how a lot of men who have been/feel ostracized or marginalized are drawn to these “leaders” who prey on their need for guidance. He seemed genuinely surprised when he realized that a lot of men (humans as a whole, really) want to feel like they’re in control of their own lives, and although many of these kinds of influencers start with reasonable takes, they all kind of redirect to the same kind of messaging: “someone or something is trying to take your power from you”. It’s an irresistible message that people are drawn to without realizing it because they can, in some way, see this “loss of power” happening in some form in their own lives.
We talked about what it would benefit these influencers to spread this kind of talk, and he initially didn’t believe it was about money. He argued that if it was about money, why are they offering this information for free? Which led to the engagement = $$$ Adsense dollars talk.
Overall, it was a great discussion but he’s still really adamant on this soybean thing. I don’t know why or where it came from.
- Comment on Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans? 9 months ago:
Initially I thought this was his concern but he never mentioned anything gender specific, just that humans as a whole shouldn’t eat soy as it’s “not food”…as though it’s plastic or something. I agree that it’s probably a result of the social media telephone game, though. I just wish I could find the original source so I can prepare a good argument

He’s normal. As normal as any of us can be in today’s climate, anyway. Normal, intelligent people are just as susceptible to disinformation as people who aren’t “normal”. Instead of ignoring them as lost causes, I honestly think trying to help loved ones is a better use of my time

Goddamnit. I had no idea Big Dairy was a thing 🤦♀️
- Comment on Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans? 9 months ago:
It’s really interesting to me because you don’t really see that same kind of vitriol directed at oat milk or almond milk! I just don’t understand how they can look at hundreds of years of soybean culture and come to the conclusion of ‘yeah, we totally should not be eating that’.
Personally, I can’t stand plant-based meat alternatives simply because I prefer to just eat vegetables as vegetables…but I fucking love miso, tofu and all the different ways you can prepare it, doenjang jigae…the list goes on. I feel like omnivores who preach this don’t grasp how many different foods soy is a part of…even meat based ones!

It’s crazy and honestly a bit impressive that he dev put so much effort into something that’s only seen for a fraction of a second! I don’t even think you can interact with the bookcase
- Comment on What video games are these book titles referencing? I can’t figure out the last three for the life of me 9 months ago:
Yeah, you’ve got it! I totally read the ‘A’ as an ‘R’, so it definitely makes more sense that it’s Grand Theft Auto

Sorry, Memmy’s comment bug has me fucked up
You’re right, it does say Noble Thief Auto! It’s definitely Grand Theft Auto, nice catch

I guess a better phrasing would be “do my eyes deceive me or is the entirety of Hawaii lit the fuck up”
