Not all marine life, just the big stuff. We just added a ton of sugar, fat and protein to the ocean, so I think we’re going to see an explosion of microbial life.

Now, with milk being opaque, I think we are going to kill most of the phytoplankton and replace it with bacteria that produce CO2 as a byproduct of their metabolism, so I do think we’re going to drastically change the Earth’s atmosphere and more or less run out of oxygen eventually, so we are definitely all dead. It’s just a question of how long it takes.

Not exactly a showerthought, maybe better off in a TIL, mildly interesting or history sub. This community is not for real information, though, showerthought communities are for more light-hearted and silly stuff.

Ahhh, the Erdogan economic strategy. It’s a bold move, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them.

It could even be a far right racist propaganda bot.

Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won’t be recognized.

…wat?

That’s gotta be an internal decapitation, right? I cannot fathom how a full decapitation happens during delivery, unless someone was using a straight up lightsaber to cut the umbilical cord or something.

I would check myself, but I just don’t want to for some reason.

We found them.

Wouldn’t we also be under enough pressure to begin fusing some of that hydrogen into helium at that point?

I was just gonna say, a squash that I cut in half, hollow out and dry is pretty low-tech stuff. Could probably use a coconut if you were in a pinch… Lot of options.

The purpose of a legal system is to provide stability to a society, so that a person can safely pursue long term goals over their lifetime in a predictable environment.

The most effective way to accomplish this is to make a system where laws originate from a process where people are allowed to have some say in the creation of the laws that will apply to them, and the laws are then applied uniformly, consistently and fairly to all people regardless of background.

Our system partially fulfils this.

Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can’t think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.

In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren’t there any counterexamples?

If you want to start an irl group, yeah. If you’re joining an existing group, no though. Fully online is obviously the easiest place to find groups looking for players, but you can also head down to your local gaming store. I’ve seen bulletin boards before with flyers looking for players, but can probably just ask the people working there if they know of any.

Could also check online forums for your local community, maybe even make a post asking if any gaming groups have openings for irl players.

Dungeons & Dragons is one, for the sufficiently geeky.

This. There was a dramatic shift in his behavior pre-stroke to post-stroke. He also underwent treatment for depression afterwards. It definitely altered his brain.

If that’s really true, you could easily have copy/pasted your evidence. The only reason you wouldn’t is if you can’t. Which is why you just keep saying the same things like that will somehow change something.

Really? Then prove this:

remember how you pretended the documented, verified US government sources weren’t real

Unless you just made it up out of the blue, of course. You do that a lot. You just keep chanting how right you are, but never copy anything to actually prove it. Very weak, when anyone can chant anything.

You really do like making claims you can’t back up. If I was wrong and you could prove it, it’d be a win for you. Unless you actually just can’t, though.

No, I do not remember denying any sources were real. Where in any of my (still unedited btw) comments did that happen? Or are you just making shit up again?

No, it does not support everything you’ve been saying. This is why you’ve had to do ninja edits to change what you were saying. Remember that part?

Playing pretend in what way? I told you, as soon as you support your specific statements that you’ve made, or admit you were wrong, we’re cool. I don’t see what is being pretended.

Specifically, you saying “using weapons” in this case. The bacteria were not weapons. They were studying weapons, by using other bacteria that behave similar to weapons. I don’t think you actually care, but I do I’m afraid. Where in the report does it say weapons were released? Not studied, released?
