The moon and earth are “on” a shared center of gravity. It just so happens to be inside to earth, so meh, we win.

Can I define my reference frame any way I want? Because if so, yes. And also no

Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.

Exactly. Getting rid of a suddenly huge influx of water is literally what toilets are made to do.

That’s where blood is supposed to be

The very idea of a “nazi punk” is honestly mindboggling.

I gave one a bow and arrow set. It was very fun. For me

Learn? No.

Play? Yes.

Fixing memory leaks (while not breaking anything else) is surprisingly difficult sometimes.

“socialism with lemming characteristics”

I know lemmings don’t actually run off of cliffs en masse, but this still feels less than flattering.

There are some 30 species of mosquitos that can transmit Malaria. There are about 3470 species of mosquitoes that don’t.

So, if you get rid of those 30, some of the other will probably be a decent food source.

Killing Anopheles is easy and smart, because no more malaria, and there are many other options to fill the niche.

Killing Anopheles while not also wiping out all those other insects is really really really hard

We as normal humans from earth always speak like that, do we not?

I mean, within set boundaries, it can work pretty well. Having it entirely free is demonstrably a bad idea for all but like 17 people.

Yeah, a rep followed up with me afterward. lmao

“Here is the personalized link to an anonymous survey:”

That would require making and enforcing laws.

You can just let the free market solve this problem for you. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s actually true here.

It’s super fucking easy too: place the burden of delivery on the seller/shipper, and presto, suddenly paying a little more for non-shit delivery becomes worth it. Or they keep trying till they get it right.

Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

Holidays meant “you don’t have to work for the lord who owns your land”, but since they were subsistence farmers in the middle ages, that meant they still had to tend the animals and do the work on their own plots. They were absolutely still working during their “holidays”.

Yeah, but that’s mostly because it’s lumpsum. Over time, it’s not much at all.

When I calculate the “time of fun per euro spent” I’m always shocked how cheap videogames are. Even something like the new Doom, which is 70 euros for 16 hours of play, comes down to €4.40 per hour (or just under 14 minutes per euro). And we consider that ridiculously expensive for a “short” game.

Try doing anything for < €5 per hour.

Then I look at something like Warhammer total war, and I’m up to 132 minutes per euro spent
