- Comment on What happens to flies when you let them fly out the window of a car at 75 mph? 4 days ago:
Uh, I assure you, if a fly hits something at a relative 75mph it’s not just going to be stunned.
You can kill a fly (though usually only stun) by smacking it out of the air with you hand, which has a max speed of ~22mph.
75mph is closer to a flick (though I believe a flick can go up to 100mph). A flick is enough to cause a fly to explode.

Unless it just causes the crop to cost more without any change in behavior.

This is… a weird thing to report on isn’t it?
Like, I’m sure there are plenty of parts from many different companies from dozens of countries inside these things. Unless the components are something substantial, like “tomahawk missile only” parts, I don’t really understand the significance.

You don’t think there are 183 people out there that would repeat a brands advertisement? O.o
Honestly I’d think it would be higher.

Just wanna mention, you don’t need to boil maple sap for anywhere near that long to make syrup. It can be done in an afternoon unless you’re trying to make gallons.

I mean, I don’t believe it’s typically the law that makes things harsher, it’s gender bias in juries.

Mmmm I dunno if I can necessarily agree either way on this one.
The idea that a person with no mental issues (including a plethora of physical disorders that can cause mental changes) would just decide to pick up a gun and kill a bunch of people for no reason seems far fetched to me. I feel like it is much more likely that majority these individuals suffered from a mental break of some type, but were not in a position to be identified beforehand. I do notice though that your source isn’t inherently saying that mentally healthy individuals are committing the majority of mass shootings, it states that ~25% are diagnosed with a mental illness, ~25% are attributed to substance abuse (which I believe would potentially also fall under mental illness, as SUD is recognized as a mental illness)
I do find it odd that we are apparently splitting hairs between someone with “mental illness” and someone “responding to a severe and acute stressor” though. If the response was to eat their hair, self harm, lock themselves in their room and refuse to leave, or many other extreme stress response, this would be considered mental illness, but because they haven’t seen a psychiatrist beforehand, mass murder doesn’t fit?
That said, I fully admit this is an uneducated understanding of what mental illness is. I am more than willing to admit I am incorrect. But if that’s the case, it feels like we are simply arguing over what is considered a mental illness.

Could you not just preemptively have a plan in place to cover it up? Like “okay if we are going to sell we just drop in a floor on top and pretend it wasn’t there”?

To an extent I agree with you. The “problem” comes when people slowly start to realize that and open them or throw them out. At which point the items actually can become worth something. Though again, unlikely.
Part of the problem with most collectibles “meant” to be “worth something eventually”, are packaged in such a way that they are “enjoyable” in the packaging. You can put a sealed Funko or Beanie Baby on a shelf and you’re looking at the item itself. There’s no reason to open them.
If you truly want a “collectible”, purchase something like a game console and keep it in its box for fifty years.
- Comment on Internet picture of a monkey 2 months ago:
Theoretically, it is possible that 70 years down the line it might actually be worth something, assuming it is still new in box, undamaged, and it is of something that is still culturally relevant.
But the chances are so slim as to make it a worse gamble than the stock market.

- Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated 2 months ago:
sophisticated graphics also can make a game
I agree to an extent, but good graphics can’t save a game with bad gameplay.
I bet you’ve never heard “the game isn’t fun but I put hundreds of hours into it because it’s beautiful!”
In contrast, good gameplay can save a game with abysmal graphics.
I’m willing to bet money you’ve heard something around the lines of “it doesn’t look great but I just can’t stop playing!”
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 months ago:
Not necessarily. If I use an anthropomorphic cat as an asset for a character who in the end is a robot, can you really say it took inspiration?
Granted, I haven’t seen any of the assets. But placeholders aren’t inherently inspiration. They can easily just be random things to look at before proper assets are made.
And even if they did take inspiration, that isn’t the complaint. Would there be a need to disclose if they used a generative AI to generate a picture, and they used that as inspiration? What if they saw an gen AI image someone else posted and used that as inspiration? Inspiration isn’t the problem, it’s the “use of AI in development” which seems silly when these could have potentially been wire frames and result in the exact same final product.

I dunno…
If I make a mock up of a cake using toxic ingredients, then throw that out and make my cake from scratch using food safe ingredients, do I need to disclose that “toxic material was used when making this cake”? I don’t think so.
Of course this kinda falls apart when they shipped with quickly replaced textures. But I also wouldn’t expect them to disclose the game as unfinished if they forgot to replace blank textures with the proper assets until just after release.
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 2 months ago:
Some more than others, and I believe some don’t at all?
I’ve used commercially available stuff in Canada before and it was god awful. I avoided cleaning anything that wasn’t absolutely coated in dust simply because it left a film of bitter on everything. Which doesn’t sound terrible except you don’t realize how often you touch a surface then your face/mouth.
I’ve also used “bulk” stuff in an enterprise setting, albeit in the US, and there was literally no bittering as far as I could tell. Granted, I wasn’t abusing it to get high or anything so maybe the tech has just come far enough to not need to make the room itself bitter, but it seemed like there wasn’t anything.

There’s a difference between being sex positive and being okay with someone “self harming” with sex. I don’t think you should need to specify you are sex positive, just like someone shouldn’t need to say “I think water is important to drink but you should avoid drowning in it”
