We used to microwave bars of soap. They got bigger and harder to use as soap. Idk, kids do things

Why haven’t my Disney characters not all exploded from how much they don’t go to the bathroom?
- Comment on Soup 1 week ago:
I remember conversations about this in 2008-ish maybe. I missed the start of the conversation so I laboured under the idea healthy living people were freezing themselves ala Futurama and not people who had just died or something. Still scammy probably but not as bonkers on the part of any party

Reminds of various evangelical speakers seeing “crosses” in nature or cheese toasties and thinking they’re profound. Truly a Christmas miracle that a pair of lines intersect.

Teleporters as well.
I remember having access to one in an RPG (rogue trader, teleportarium), and almost every session was “why can’t we use the teleporter for this?”. Eventually we made a rule that we could only use it once per session, which meant functionally we saved it for emergencies or something really funny.
There is an enjoyment to solving problems in the engineering sense, but in an oppositional sense you dont really tell any stories other than about how you solved a puzzle you yourself invented

If I was writing a fiction and felt the need to address this, I would make it so where you wind up is based on the location of the time machine in the time you travel. But also I probably wouldn’t and just handwave it

- Comment on challenged :( 1 month ago:
Honestly, the biggest challenge for me was self-motivation while severely depressed. I could show up to class, but that pretty much used up all the juice. Sometimes I wouldn’t even be able to do that.

I personally avoid argument threads for the most part unless I have a dire social need, but not every conversation is necessarily about the Holodomor and Xinjiang (the two points of contention it seems).
I’d hope that everyone I talk to and take seriously is a denier of “White Genocide”, the theory that white people are under threat of being bred out and marginalised in their own lands by the deliberate machinations of refugees and immigrants. In this rather gross example, we wouldn’t refer to each other as genocide deniers.
After which point it becomes a discussion about what actually happened, what constitutes a genocide, whether that fits this legal definition or that etc. But the conversation never gets that far.
Personally I’m not super interested in relitigating this conversation every time a Chinese cop does something or a member of Azov sneezes. But if other people get something out of it, idk. Whatever. But it is a point of friction between our communities.

I try to engage everyone in good faith, but I’m also out of step with the majority of time zones on lemmy.
I’m not that scrappy. We don’t have downvotes (which don’t have notifications), so generally people reply instead (which do have notifications). The sincerity of any response is going to vary wildly. If I personally am going to respond to a post about Tiananmen Square or whatever, the initial poster is going to have to wade through a bunch of answers I will charitably call “tedious”.
That said, if a certain sort of poster who trips some wire responds, or we get called something that implies you won’t take us seriously (e.g. genocide denier is a more common one among others we’d consider on the left), why bother with civility or politeness? Even if you started to hear a doorknocker out, how quickly will your patience dry up when they start calling you a liar and a paid shill for inscrutable foreign agents?
