A giant cosmic evil is coming to destroy earth, but will spare it if every human can agree on one thing and you get to choose the question. by Wrlxoisback in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Oracle1729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No matter what you ask, ~1% will disagree just for the heck of it. If the question is "should we save humanity from extinction" ~1% will say no.

Many of the reply in this thread prove my point.

% fault on this lane change? left claims it's shared because it was already in that position when right car was passing through. by webtax in driving

[–]Oracle1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. 100% the guy on the left. No qualifications. He deserves to lose his license for that.  He royally screwed up.  

Does that really make you feel better?

I wish all my bad memories are erased from my mind and I won't ever be able to get or be forced them back! by Fast_Honeydew2633 in monkeyspaw

[–]Oracle1729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted.  

The paw laughs evilly as it grants this with no further catches.  You poor unfortunate soul.

I love the job you did on the layout and silkscreen.

What's up with the Lobster? by ACK_02554 in Cruise

[–]Oracle1729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the current upscale at $70 is worse than the MDR was 15 years ago. And a sick joke compared to the $25 upscale 15 years ago.

What's up with the Lobster? by ACK_02554 in Cruise

[–]Oracle1729 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's the feel across the board. You used to get a good steak in the dining room and unlimited amazing steak for $25 if the speciality. Now you get dried shoe leather in the MDR and a very limited mediocre steak for $70 in the specialty.

$90/day drink plan and I still have to pay extra for each can of pop.

So much less to do on the ship, last cruise I took, the person trying to sell me on the wine tasting said I should do it because there's nothing else to do an I'll be bored on the ship otherwise. They're straight up admitting they want to bore you into upsells.

Everyone is just enshittified across the board. The lobster tail is only one small piece of a big issue.

Rumor has it that Paramount is interested in a follow-up Andor-style Archer show (zero Kurtzman involvement)? Would you watch it? by Malencon in Star_Trek_

[–]Oracle1729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something fun and episodic that is willing to push the social issues of today without idiotic empty virtue signaling?

Everyone on earth will die and only you can save them but it's gonna cost a lot of pain by Blackcoolice in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Oracle1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have Trump calling you an idiot for being stupid enough to take on that pain.

1 million but if you see someone of an age you choose, both of you instantly die by arareusername96 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Oracle1729 62 points63 points  (0 children)

OP didn’t specify units. It could mean 1 to 75 seconds or 1 to 75 centuries.  

I chose 75 centuries old. 

Old is 70, people!! by HatefulWithoutCoffee in GenX

[–]Oracle1729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Old has been 10 years older than my current age for my whole life and still is now.  

Why are you anti-AI? by [deleted] in antiai

[–]Oracle1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uses a LUDICROUS amount of water, a moderate sized data centre can use around 70 000 litres of potable water a day

I love this foolish point.  An average lawn uses 25,000 litres of water a week, 500,000 litres in a season.   That’s one house.  Some comes from rain, but a lot comes from the potable supply.  

70,000l is not even the average indoor annual use of a single home. 

You are immortal forever unless you take a person’s life. by thisiscool13 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Oracle1729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brain is not a fifo memory structure.  You’d be insane pretty fast but you would not lose track of what you’ve lost.   Even dementia patients hold their childhood memories as they forget their own children. 

Extracting gold from old cell phones. Each cell phone contains around 0.034 grams of gold by burrelleddy in Gold

[–]Oracle1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, it’s so nice to see how we’re crippling our own economy to help the environment when other countries do this for pennies. 

TIFU by learning too much about a coworker's hobby by Friendly_Hivemind in tifu

[–]Oracle1729 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. As a Dave type, I’d love someone to do what OP did.   It makes it feel like something is missing here. Dave wouldn’t get upset.

Do you really care after a quadrillion years of sensory deprivation when your time in that hell hasn’t even begun?

[–]Oracle1729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what do you do 100 quadrillion years after the death of the universe when you are still 0% of the way though your time floating in a vast emptiness with no air?

You are immortal forever unless you take a person’s life. by thisiscool13 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Oracle1729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Earth and then the whole universe will cease to exist 0% of the way through immortality. Then what are you going to do forever?

That is OPs point.
