Modern weapons notoriously good at killing.
You telling me those things could take out predator drones too?
- Comment on makes more sense than this shit 3 weeks ago:
In that universe, humans also have FTL travel and colonies on hundreds of planets, yet have mysteriously lost the arcane technology known as “email” and require everything to be done in person.
Also most of the colonies are either one family living alone on a distant space rock, or abandoned military outposts full of an inexplicable amount of space pirates, and somehow the two rarely interact.
And humans didn’t destroy earth with climate change, instead the FTL drives they invented blew away the atmosphere… somehow. Yet this is a secret protected by big engine or some shit, because every other habitable planet still lets everyone use their FTL drives near the planet anyway.
God that game sucks.

My favorite to poke at is treating anything with a blade on it like it’s a deadly weapon with no other purpose.
Can’t have a locking pocket knife.
There was a group that wanted to ban pointed kitchen knives.
Had a dude tell me he doesn’t carry an axe or saw when camping because it “might scare passersby”
Photos of police “hauls” that show screw drivers and hammers as “deadly weapons that don’t belong on the streets”
So it’s at least 4 jokes.

I would love to hear the teenagers’ side of the story here.
Big Balls claims he was just out with his girlfriend at 3 in the morning when a group of teens tried to car jack him. Police take a photo of Big Balls with a broken nose and covered in his own blood, and then arrest 2 teenagers.
Suspiciously, there is not a single piece of evidence this shit actually happened outside of that one photo of an idiot covered in his own blood. I have not been able to find security camera or body cam footage of the alleged attack or any groups of teens fleeing the cops.
Apparently the teens beat him up and then just waited for the cops to show up? How does that make sense?
An alternative scenario is that a privileged nepo baby was out with a girl, some teens saw him and said “holy shit it’s big balls” went up to talk to a living meme, startled the sheltered lil baby, and he started a fight he couldn’t win, then called the cops after he realized his big balls were just a name he made up on the internet.

I would like to introduce you to the concept for kinetic energy. Force=Mass*Acceleration
A very heavy object moving at slow speeds can easily have the same energy or more as a lighter object going moderately fast.
Forklift accidents also typically involve unsecured loads rather than just a collision between two objects. The collision is often an instigating factor that causes a poorly secured loads to fall and injure either the driver or a passerby.

1000 dollars in 1960 would be about 11 grand today.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t know if I’d last 6 months on 11 grand. Maybe 3 or 4. Rent alone would nuke over half of that, and I live in a cheap ass place.
We’ve been robbed

I was enrolled in a Christian school for kindergarten through second grade.
I was suspended in first grade because I threw a tantrum over the teacher saying that dinosaur fossils were all fake and created to deceive people into believing evolution. According to her dinosaurs and humans coexisted before the flood, and scientists know this but carve rocks into bone shapes to fool people because atheists are evil.
Naturally, being a dinosaur obsessed little boy, I flat out rejected this hypothesis. My grandmother had taught me to read way above my level, and I read encyclopedia entrees on different dinosaurs before bed every night, often annoying the shit out of grandma because id ask for explanations of sentences from scientific articles as a 6 year old. So after calling the teacher a moron for the fifth time, I was sent home early. When my mother heard my side of the story, she went to the public school the next day and asked for an enrollment form.
Fuck Christian schools. Science is awesome and dinosaurs are cool.

It’s one of those things where everyone just assumes it’s illegal and that their government wouldn’t do illegal shit.

It’s entirely possible that there are no aliens in the “New York City” part of the universe.
Dense regions of space will have much more interactions between stellar systems and may not be stable enough for life to evolve. It could be why we haven’t seen anyone else, they’re all in their own little pockets of peace.

It’s not a “so-called conspiracy” it is a conspiracy theory.
Thousands of people worked on the Apollo project. Hundreds of America’s best engineers spent a decade designing and improving the designs for equipment that would go to the moon. If it was really impossible to do it in the 60s, you don’t think some of those people would have come forward by now? And not Bert Sybrils version of “my buddy’s uncle’s friend left his son a confession tape that was destroyed in a fire” version of coming forward. I mean someone from Boeing, or Northrop, or Rocketdyne, or even JPL itself would have said something. You’re talking about keeping thousands of very smart people quiet about something that would have been obvious to them from the start, and asking them to waste a decade of their life designing things that wouldn’t work.
Apollo missions after 11 left scientific instruments on the moon like laser reflectors that let us calculate the moon’s distance from earth more accurately over time. Non-US agencies and universities have used these for lunar observations. Are independent agencies lying for the American government, or are there really reflectors on the moon. If they’re lying, why? What benefit would they gain? If there are reflectors on the moon, how did they get there?
The US government spends millions of dollars every year meticulously preserving lunar rock samples. If it was fake, why would they continue spending that money 50 years later? Why not say “all rocks gone, everyone is fired, go home” 40 years ago? For that matter, those rocks have been sent to thousands of research centers, universities, and labs around the world for analysis and testing. They’re the rarest and most valuable rocks in the world. If NASA shipped some random rock from the Arizona desert to a lab in France or Germany, don’t you think some French or German geologist would go “hold on a minute, this is just ordinary basalt!” And call their local newspaper about how nasa just scammed them and wasted their grant money?
24 astronauts have orbited the moon, and 12 of them walked on it. These are men who dedicated their lives to being the best at what they do, a good chunk of them had doctorates. Again, you’re saying that 2 dozen people wasted a decade of their life training to be the best of the best so they could go to the moon, and then just what, sat in a bunker for a week and then said they went to the moon? And not a single one of those 24 men ever said it was all bullshit? Clearly you don’t understand American history or culture if you think that’s true. We like the big slamdunk, knock out drag out, victory. If that wasn’t true, someone would have blabbed about how they wasted their life for a fake crowning achievement.
Just because you don’t understand how something works doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Go play kerbal space program or read a book on project Apollo if you want to actually understand how space travel works. Watching YouTube videos is not going to educate you.

We went to the moon.
If we hadn’t, the Soviet’s would have been screaming it from the rooftops. The soviets tracked all the Apollo missions themselves, and even had robotic missions going on at the same time as several of the manned US landings.
The Cold War was intense. You think if the US hadn’t made, the soviets would have just let it slide?

Just make sure you land the first shot center mass, cause by the third you’re gonna be shooting at planes.
You will no longer have wrists, of course, but that is a small price to pay for victory.

For those of us that don’t use arbitrary made up units at all, that’s 1.35515609E+34 Planck Length x 8.477460474E+33 Planck Length x 2.555613997E+33 Plank Length.
Use real measurements. A meter is how far light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second? Statements made by the utterly deranged.
