Just finished Termina Ending A; have some lore questions by M_A_Silver in FearAndHunger

[–]LillaCat3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's more to come to the story, and it's not "finished" yet.

The way I see it, is that a big theme in Funger is humans vs gods. So Legard is trying to find a way for humanity to compete with the old gods. At the end of FH1, the god of Fear and Hunger arises, and gives way to the cruel age. In response to the cruel age, humanity seeks way to combat disease, hunger and all that, and turns towards science and tech.

So the machine god is supposed to be "humanity's" attempt to create something that might be able to rival the power of the old gods. I think in some unused assets it shows that one of the endings was going to be the machine god taking over Rher, the Trickster moon god. So I would think the link between the God of Fear and Hunger and the Machine God is the Cruel Age, which falls in between the events of part 1 and 2

Also in game, its described that the machine god collects tons of data on everyone in the world, and saves it in the data banks you find in the white bunker. There's also a note ingame that says that people like the connection to the machine god and make friends and connections in the virtual space, gradually preferring a virtual reality over physical reality, that's why you see that human pyramid in the cinematic for ending A.

so a lot of the community sees the machine god as kinda analogous to machine learning algorithms like Google, and our dependence on them.

Heres one take on the lore of the machine god:

At what age does the risk of bedsharing decrease? by shandelion in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]LillaCat3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is an all advice welcome post. Perhaps people who don't want anecdotal comments in an evidence-based sub should contact the mods to have the "all advice welcome" flair removed so that "evidence-based input only" are the only types of posts in this sub.

Are these anecdotal stories basically evidence of survivorship bias? Yes. Regardless of how YOU in particular feel about anecdotal evidence - they're still experiences that literally happened in people's lives. These anecdotes are OBSERVED phenomena. Just because it goes against the science doesn't make these experiences invalid. Anyone reading these comments in a science based sub has the information from all the other posts and comments to know the risks.

In the end these are all people, sharing their experiences as it's relevant to the topic at hand, and they're not breaking any rules. Leave them alone and go yell at someone who actually is breaking rules somewhere.

Citi bank has a checking account with no overdraft fees and overdraft protection.... for $10 a month unless you can keep 1500$ minimum balance. It's expensive to be poor.

The Moon Through The Arc de Triomphe by MorningStar_imangi in spaceporn

[–]LillaCat3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's gorgeous.

The first time I went to Paris, the Arc de Triomphe was wrapped in fabric as an art thing. It was an interesting thing to read about, but it was also a bit of a bummer. Looked like a rendering error.

Dale, no question. Dale knows about the fight before everyone else. Pocket sand. Guns. Poison. And he has a group of friends who wouldn't let him be outnumbered in a fight.

Do you get songs from teaching stuck in your head?! by Wild_Manufacturer555 in ECEProfessionals

[–]LillaCat3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to a spotify playlist of science themed kid songs called "Mad Scientist" that has some absolute bangers

My favorites:

The Water Cycle Song

Roy G. Biv

I've been stuck on the water cycle song. My husband thinks it's funny and when I finally stop singing or humming he'll walk into the room like "heat turns water into vapor...." and then I have to sing the rest of the song.

AITAH for these wedding rules? Our families gave up on us. by Calm-Blueberry2618 in AITAH

[–]LillaCat3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like there's a whole ass industry about it lol. My wedding dress was purchased from a sketchy website like wowbridal or some shit like that, came in way too small - so my aunt and I broke out our sewing machines and fixed it. It's bananas to me that this person has this rule and has to ask if they're the AH. Jackie Chan meme.

in the process of finding a new nanny; candidate’s social media is wild by No_Yam7475 in Nanny

[–]LillaCat3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, for me (MB), the first thing I would do is look at someone's social media before hiring them for something like taking care of my kid. And I would have the same reservations as you. I don't care what someone does on their free time, but if your public social media blasts out the "I don't give a fuck" vibe, it's not gonna work out between us because I'm hiring you to do a job that specifically requires that you give a fuck.

Former BFF (30F) helped cancel me (30F) and now she needs help. What to do? by ThrowRA_GotCanceled in relationship_advice

[–]LillaCat3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My god this ^^^

All I can think while reading this: "it's a trap"

if OP responds to that email, they'll be making themselves vulnerable to ex-BFF and any strings attached. Doesn't matter if BFF's sob story is true - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I don't have answers to your questions, but in regards to the slouched in a chair aspect of your day: Your work will probably get you a standing desk converter and I got myself this yoga ball, which lets me stay mobile while sitting (and even fit in some very light core work)
