  • “can be” ⇏ “has to be”

    And it’s not fiction that sets high standards, but the people watching it, that are doing so.

    Now you may say that the people are setting those standards only because they are watching said stuff.
    But that is just rephrasing, “the people watching fiction are incapable of having their own imagination”.

    Back in school, I had a classmate that had a much greater height than others, due to steroid usage.
    Now if you say that his parents did that because they watched “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, I’ll say it was not released yet and I have no reason to believe that they bought comic strips from another country and went ahead and made a ‘gag’ piece a basis for their standards.










  • If I were to lose my ability to walk, would I choose:

    • ability to maybe walk, maybe like an old man, maybe not
    • ability to teleport along with my stuff, 7" per thought

    On the other hand, maybe I can only teleport once, for when I take the pill. That might end up being pretty useless for this case.




  • Well, I have seen drains clog up so bad that the parapets act like a bowl and capture the ~1m of water with the roof still staying mostly intact (although seepage would have greatly increased there), so something other than my calculations is holding up that roof.

    So I guess one would have to rely on the melting-refreezing to break down the roof, considering that without the phenomenon, the ice would be pretty fluffy and light.
