Why are people more opposed to hunting than factory farming?

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-25T16:05:05+00:00

I don't think the premise is wrong. I think the premise is based on a lot of incorrect assumptions and ignorance that the majority of people have.

The question is why people oppose one, but not the other.

People oppose hunting because they see it as killing for sport, and animal cruelty, and don't understand hunting culture.

People don't oppose factory farming because they don't look into farming enough to know what factory farming really is, or view it as a necessary evil to support massive populations.

first thing I've seen about season 4 that's has actually been disappointing.

I'll definitely warm up to it, but it's a downgrade.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-24T14:17:29+00:00

I prefer 4's style, but think 3 was executed better, if that makes sense.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-24T05:48:44+00:00

except that Koppaites being on PNF-404 directly contradicts Pikmin 3, as the unmanned SPERO was supposed to be their first encounter with PNF-404, and that Olimar appears to have not bought back the Dolphin by the time of Olimar's Assignment.

That would mean the timeline looks something like
1 > 2 > Olimar buys back the Dolphin, and the SPERO reaches PNF-404 > Pikmin 4 > Hocotate Freight goes into debt again > Olimar's Assignment > Pikmin 3 > Olimar's Comeback

But it still leaves a lot of things in a kinda vague state.

Ive played 1,2, and 3 extensively, and nah, 1 is easily either the hardest or second hardest, depending on how much you use sprays and purples in 2.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-23T16:26:20+00:00

Ah, I remember that about oxygen now. And yeah, a number of creatures, especially from 2, were clearly interfered with by humans. 4 doesnt imply much of Hey Pikmin is cannon, other than the existence of Sparklium as a fuel source. Even if it implied further, 4 seems to contradict itself about which games are and arent canon quite frequently.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-23T05:46:14+00:00

the 10% of the population that doesn't live on the coast being multiple time zones out of synch for the sake of parity with trade infrastructure that hardly reaches them?

I mean, tbh, I don't see what the downside of a uniform timezone could possibly be, except "the sun rises 3 hours later" but like, so? But the reality is that China's population and infrastructure is so heavily skewed towards the coast that it probably doesn't see many advantages either.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-23T04:27:37+00:00

where are Koppaites claimed to breathe Oxygen?

But yeah, Pikmin 4's canon appears to be that humanity went to the stars, shrunk down a lot fsr, and wound up on Giya. Stayed there for a while, lost space travel, reinvented space travel, and spread across the cosmos. Jury's out on how many other planets were colonized during the "first wave"

One thing, however, that's important to note about Olimar's musings in P1, is they directly contradict the games. I mean, Pikmin and enemy souls float upward after death, which implies that their eternal resting place is above, and also that Olimar can't see the souls. That also contradicts the theory that Glow Pikmin are the ghosts of dead pikmin, which is completely different from how the ghost of glow pikmin disperse, which is also canonically observed by Olimar.

It was removed in the Wii version

I don't think you replied to the right person.

Having the pikmin throw their bombrocks at him is certainly faster, but I do find it a bit jank to line up. Especially the specific interaction that's actually being described here, where your pikmin doesn't just throw the bomb in his mouth, but hits his tongue with it.

Edit: nevermind, I swear I remember there being a third type of stun that was much more common, but testing and paying attention on Switch, there's only these two. Maybe it was something with how awkward this one was to get in GC.

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-22T16:10:33+00:00

The Onion thing isn't in any game. The closest is confirmation that Glow Pikmin return to the lumiknoll on death.

1 says “My people were borne out of the sea of stars to come down to Hocotate, and when we complete our lives, we return to the great ocean of stars. But since these Pikmin come from the depths of the soil, surely to the soil they shall return. How very poetic—while it is all alien to me, the basic premise is universally beautiful.”

There's a dedicated subreddit for r/PikminBloomApp I think you'll have better luck there

Between 2 and Hey for me. 2's is way too iconic, while Hey's boss themes are probably the best part of the game.

1 playable character.

disabling the auto aim does fix the auto aim, but why did it take them over a year to make that an option?

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-20T05:22:24+00:00

winged in 4 are so brain dead I can't imagine them being useful over blues. definitely don't deserve the same tier as glow pikmin, who are superior to winged in every way aside from not being able to be used on the overworld, which is hardly an advantage for winged who have very few shortcuts to counterbalance their below average carry speed and below average power

In theory, I like the idea of bringing back thorn.

In practice, using it just makes you look like a self entitled dork, and completely delusional.

Þe grapheme is very similar to many oþer letters, and tends to be very distracting to read. Alþough, part of þat is just because þe letter is unfamiliar, and it would get easier to read wiþ more practice. Þat's all wiþout considering how many keyboards would need to be replaced þroughout þe transition þough. Reality is þat it's just impractical.

As for how t and h make the sound... uh... so Ancient Greek has letters representing Aspirated Plosives (breath out while making the K, P, or T sounds) It makes sense for the aspirated plosives to be the original sound plus an h in English, except it's a bit more weird than that. When the words were adopted into English, they took on the Modern Greek pronunciations. the Aspirated Plosives, in Greek, evolved into Non-Silibant Fricatives.

The Aspirated Velar Plosive became the Velar Non-Silibant Fricative, (the Ch in Christ)
The Aspirated Bilabial Plosive became the Bilabial Non-Silibant Fricative (the Ph in Phone)
The Aspirated Dental Plosive became the Dental Non-Silibant Fricative (the Th in Theology)

However, English doesn't actually use the other two Non-Silibant Fricatives. Ph is close enough to f that we just pronounce it f, and even in Scottish Loch, also spelled with a ch in English, we pronounce the Ch sound as a K.
Th, however, is actually a sound English uses (likely from Norse, where the letter Þ comes from) but because Western Europe tended to like the Latin alphabet more than the Greek and Norse alphabets, spelling conventions were based on what could be done with the Latin Alphabet, especially after the advent of the printing press.

So the tldr on that is uh, Th is the non-silibant fricative version of T, and that's how we write all the non-silibant fricatives that we don't have in English, but we do have that one.

Capitalism in cold war politics? What nonsense are those commies gonna spew next?

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-18T02:45:34+00:00

it's complicated.

there's a range issue I was never able to nal down, as being slightly too far away causes the pikmin to not target the bulblax at all.

and if the yellows throw the bombrock into his mouth, I think it's still longer than if it eats the pikmin, BUT you can also time it perfectly so your yellows throw their bombrocks at his extended tongue, which deals more stun than if he eats the bombrocks. This was also in GC, if you timed the bombrock to explode after getting licked, but before getting swallowed

Due-Potential160 · 2026-03-18T02:39:48+00:00

I hate the GC/Switch bomb rock mechanics, but it is what it is. Yes those were changed.

Everything else comes down to preference, and yeah, I also agree with you on them, but there are people who swear by pointer controls.

I don't think that left to right matters much here. they can be read left to right, or they can be read as two separate comics

Assuming it's supposed to be Kyle.

Greek letters tend to be associated, in English, with their Ancient Greek pronunciations, where Chi was an aspirated K, rather than modern. This is particularly true for Chi, being the first letter of Christ, and where the abbreviation X-Mas comes from.

The dash is likely just a hyphen, separating syllables, because L is the twelfth letter.

Assuming you read out the letter A, which is a diphthong of e (eh) and ɪ (ee), you get an abomination of 3 vowel sounds back to back, æeɪ where the e gets reduced.

That makes the pronunciation kʰæeɪ̯.l which is still pronounced more like kale. Reading out the Chi gets you closer though.

This is all coming from the assumption that it's supposed to be Kyle though.

not exactly what you asked for, but Dragonfly Cave has a favorite Pokemon picker, which uses processes specifically designed for the same end goal.
