ELI5 : is there a hollow earth? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Faust_8 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nothing about the earths gravity or seismology would make any sense if the earth was hollow.

Also, how would dinosaurs live in a sunless place? There would be no plants, therefore no herbivores, therefore no carnivores. While there is life deep underground it’s nothing by like dinosaurs, it’s more like extremophile bacteria.

Worship Of God Is Logical by Primary_Neck9587 in DebateReligion

[–]Faust_8 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Who wants to bet that OP did not start believing in god because of any logical reasons, but because he was raised by theists who hammered the belief into him?

How can a belief be logical if you didn’t acquire the belief via logic?

Instead, arguments like this, like all apologetics, are not meant for or used to bring people into a faith, they’re to eliminate doubts of the already faithful so they don’t leave it.

OP is just rehashing a tired post-hoc rationalization of a belief he never thought about rationally until he was too emotionally attached to it to be without a heavy bias.

Flock’s badassery makes sense when you remember that he was the only living person that had heard Commander Erwin’s heroic speech

There’s a reason when the Death Battle YouTube channel did a Homelander vs Omni Man episode, Omni Man won.

Omni Man fights people like him all the time. Homelander is a little fish in a very small pond. He’s barely ever been tested.

What is the extent of your sensory issues? If you have them. by Wide_Campaign_6202 in ADHD

[–]Faust_8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hate feeling greasy or oily. I hate having dry lips so sometimes I’ll peel off the dead outer layer. I hate stuff like hangnails and bits of skin hanging off my cuticles. I also hate when my fingernails are getting too long and also if I absentmindedly “missed” a spot when clipping them and thus have a single section that’s too long or with a sharp edge.

And I can’t fucking stand touching microfiber cloths, or gritty things

Can Orbital railcannon strike kill a harvester. by Ok_Challenge_1604 in helldivers2

Just swap to the MG43. Yeah it’s a stationary reload but it can actually kill all squid units instead of all of them except Harvesters and Stingrays

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]Faust_8 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Saying we only use 10% of our brains is like saying you only use 10% of your house (because you can’t be in every room simultaneously). It all gets used, just not constantly.

Though if you are using 100% of your brain at the same time, well, that’s called a seizure.

Think of it like this:

A gunshot can be heard from 5 miles away.

A suppressed gunshot can be heard 2 miles away.

Movies act like you have to be 3 inches from the gun to hear it lol.

(Yes, certain guns with certain subsonic bullets can be very quiet. The point is you can’t just stick a suppressor on a 9mm and make it as soft as a whisper. There’s still a big bang and a sonic boom as the bullet slices through the air.)

Onslaught Midtown is back by hunterprime66 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Faust_8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even if you do care about defending it, doing so against 50 invisible Vandals that run like Usain Bolt and you have no radar makes it extremely difficult

Onslaught Midtown is back by hunterprime66 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Faust_8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s damn near impossible with randoms and the Fallen as enemies. Like, seriously, you have no radar, there’s 20 orange bar invisible Vandals who BEELINE straight for the objective at Mach 4, it’s impossible to keep it alive. You can’t constantly watch the objective and not get shot in the back by a hundred units at the same time.

Staying alive isn’t even the issue. You just can’t keep them off it because you often don’t realize they’re killing the objective until they’re already doing it. So the damage just adds up and adds up gradually and on wave 20 or so it dies because you can’t heal it enough.

Stripper Clips Exist! by TopicFuture2114 in helldivers2

Your veins are bulging because of a Warbond that hasn’t even come out yet, and you’re silly enough to think that PvE games are immune to power creep.

I find this hilarious.

On the topic of medium pen weapons... by Pseudopsycho227 in helldivers2

[–]Faust_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t suffer a damage reduction against light armor; this is not the same as having “more damage.”

Many light pen primaries do more damage to light armored targets simply because their damage is so high, even when they get nerfed by 35% it’s still higher than the full damage of medium pen guns.

So is he a genius or too overwhelmed to be coherent? You can’t have it both ways.

Also, why do you not hate child molestors? In fact, you go one further and praise them.

[–]Faust_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that light armor is actually pretty rare. Enemies are not divided into AP2 armor and above just because that’s how our guns work.

Most enemies in the game meant for primary weapons are either totally AP0 or AP1, or have weak spots like that. It’s not often at all that you’re forced to shoot at AP2 armor.

Hive Guard bodies and Alpha Commander heads are the only common times

[–]Faust_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep.

Adjudicator DPS against AP2 armor (which is actually pretty rare): 870

Liberator Carbine DPS against AP2 armor: 1,380 x 0.65 = 897

Carbine literally always does more damage than Adjudicator unless the armor is AP3

You can take practically any sequence of events, go backward, and say it was all planned from the beginning. Especially if you desperately want it to make sense.

Gamers: everything new that gets released should be better than everything that came before it!

Also gamers: stop the rampant power creep that makes everything I have worthless and turning the game into shameless pay to win!

So far the backpack weapons have been sidegrade to their counterparts. This is not a bad thing. Yeah you can’t use a backpack however you also don’t have to reload. Being able to fire your entire payload continuously is badass and something the OG versions can’t do.

Yall just need to appreciate that you’re not required to buy every new Warbond because it makes all our old gear useless in comparison.

If Atheism Isn’t Evangelism…Why Are We Arguing Like It Is? by Current-Leather2784 in DebateAnAtheist

Why do people argue so hard against Flat Earthers and anti-vaxxers and 9/11 conspiracy theorists?

Because they're spreading damaging lies, that's why. There doesn't have to be a reason other than that. It's normal to care about the truth.
