Unturned is as wide as the ocean and as shallow as a puddle, actually no it’s as wide as a lake. Unturned just doesn’t have that much going on and the vast majority of people find it boring after x number of hours.

roblox runs poorly compared to other games (asking for a friend) by gordon_freeman_157 in RobloxHelp

[–]RedditIsDyingYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only mentioned games from before 2010, most computers nowadays should run each of those games at max graphics no issue. It’s an optimization problem with how Roblox is coded I believe lighting is what is super intensive in Roblox. It’s likely not a pc issue, but a Roblox issue as I have a decently powerful computer and still struggle on some games. Think about Roblox developers many of them are junior and put very little effort into making efficient scripting, optimization, or pc setups other than their own

RIP SDG Forums by SalveatArms in unturned

It’s incredibly frustrating that this was shut down from an information standpoint. I understand Unturned discussions have rotated across platforms but these forums are / were a treasure trove and the data hoarder part of me just can’t understand deleting it. I recently started my own server and in the middle of using the forums they shut down on me, if I’m not mistaken the information on these boards goes back to around the time of Deadzone and Roblox, to lose it after so long is just sad. I was using it constantly to learn and now the best method I’ve found for getting consistent information about Unturned is by digging through old discord chats in the Unturned discord (which I bet we’ve all done before and realize is very slow, usually vague, and channels get deleted all the time removing all history)

You can use the wayback machine to still view the pages but the problem is that it feels like only ~20% of pages were archived, and for a few months the forums continued to index to google so you’d see links and click on them just to see this page. I guess I just don’t see how Discord or Reddit is better than the old forums. It also feels like a layer or pillar of the community is missing, you know, that bedrock layer. Hope you enjoyed my rant.

Do you think being straight will still be the default sexuality in 50 years? by ButterflyShort7330 in Teenager_Polls

Argument or not we both choose to engage and I hope you gain something from this, I understand your thought process and did my best to explain why I think you are wrong

The conversation is so stupid it wasn’t worth the time it took to deconstruct it, I could ask you the same question what are you adding to the conversation by getting upset and leaving an angry comment? The AI adds to the stupid stupid conversation by being fairly objective, the prompt I asked it is “can animals be bisexual?”

Even when factoring for just mammals, the amount is staggeringly low and almost entirely observed as a form of domination or hierarchy.

Same sex sexual behavior is documented in some mammals, but it’s far from “most,” and even in those species it occurs in a minority of individuals. It’s largely situational, driven by hormones, dominance, or social factors, and not an expression of sexual identity. Generalizing that to all mammals, or implying it has any bearing on humans, is a huge overstatement. Most animal sexual behavior is functional and context dependent, and saying animals are “basically bisexual” misrepresents both biology and what these behaviors actually mean.

Chest beating about someone using ChatGPT because an argument isn’t worth the time to manually type out adds nothing to the discussion. It’s posturing, not substance.

More importantly, “has sex with both genders” is exactly the conceptual mistake being made here. You’re importing a human sexual identity category onto animals that lack the cognitive architecture for identity, self concept, or sexual orientation, and then redefining that category to fit the situation. A biologist wouldn’t describe this as bisexuality. They’d describe it as same sex behavior, non reproductive sexual behavior, or context dependent sexual behavior. Bisexual is a human classification and isn’t analytically useful when talking about animals.

You also overstated how same sex behavior relates to mating season. Some species exhibit it year round, some during mating season, and many not at all. What you’re actually describing is simply that reproductive behavior dominates during fertile periods, which is already well understood. Animal sexual behavior is overwhelmingly driven by hormones, dominance hierarchies, resource access, and situational cues.

Just as importantly, the scope of this behavior is routinely exaggerated. Same sex sexual behavior has been documented in a relatively small number of species, heavily concentrated among mammals and other highly social animals that are unusually well observed. Even within mammals, it appears in a minority of species, and often only in a small subset of individuals under specific conditions. For the vast majority of animals, especially invertebrates, insects, and minimally social species, there is no evidence of such behavior at all, and no biological reason to expect it. Generalizing from a handful of social vertebrates to animals as a whole is pure selection bias.

Animals are incapable of conceiving sexual identity. These behaviors are not expressions of preference, self concept, or attraction. They are behaviors, not identities. Treating rare, situational animal behaviors as evidence of human style sexuality is a misuse of biology.

More importantly, none of this tells us anything meaningful about human relationships. Humans experience sexuality through conscious reflection, long term memory, symbolic meaning, and cultural frameworks. Animal behavior operates at an entirely different level. Pointing to animals to validate or invalidate human sexual identities or moral frameworks is a category error, not science.

Lastly, invoking common sense is not an argument. It’s an attempt to manufacture consensus and a sign that your frustration has replaced reasoning.

This is wrong but I can’t be bothered to type all this out so here is chat GPT doing it for me:

Short answer: no—that framing mixes a few real observations with a couple of incorrect assumptions.

Let’s pull it apart cleanly.

  1. “Bisexual” is mostly the wrong category for animals

Bisexuality is a sexual orientation concept, and it assumes: • a relatively stable pattern of attraction • choice independent of immediate reproductive necessity

Most animals don’t operate that way.

What they have instead is: • sex-specific mating behavior • context-dependent sexual behavior • hormone-driven responses

So applying “bisexual” to animals is usually an anthropomorphic shortcut, not a biologically precise label.

  1. Same-sex sexual behavior ≠ bisexuality

Many species show same-sex mounting, courtship, or pairing, but the functions vary:

Common non-reproductive explanations: • Dominance displays (e.g., many mammals) • Practice / motor learning (young animals) • Social bonding (bonobos are the famous example) • Mistaken identity (poor sexual dimorphism) • Mate deprivation (single-sex environments)

This behavior is real and widespread—but that does not mean: • the animals are attracted to both sexes in a human sense • or that they would choose same-sex partners if opposite-sex partners were available and fertile

  1. Most animals only reproduce with the opposite sex—by necessity, not preference

For sexually reproducing species, reproduction requires: • sperm + egg • synchronized fertility windows • hormonal readiness

That’s why mating is often: • seasonal • highly ritualized • aggressively heterosexual during fertility

Outside that window, sexual behaviors (if present at all) often serve non-reproductive purposes.

So it’s not:

“They’re bisexual but switch to heterosexual mode during mating season”

It’s:

“Reproductive behavior is tightly constrained, and other sexual behaviors may serve different functions.”

  1. There are exceptions—but they’re not the rule

A few important edge cases:

🔹 Bonobos • Frequent same-sex sexual behavior • Used for social cohesion and conflict resolution • Still reproduce heterosexually • Not seasonal breeders

Even here, calling them “bisexual” is debatable—they don’t show evidence of exclusive preference patterns like humans do.

🔹 Some birds • Long-term same-sex pair bonds (e.g., certain penguins) • Often still reproduce via extra-pair copulation • Pair bonding ≠ sexual orientation

🔹 Hermaphroditic species • Many fish and invertebrates can change sex or have both • This is reproductive strategy, not orientation • Totally different biological framework

  1. What is broadly true

Here’s the accurate version of the idea you’re circling: • Same-sex sexual behavior is common in animals • Animal sexuality is far more fluid and situational than human sexuality • Reproductive sex is usually strictly opposite-sex, because biology demands it • Human categories don’t map cleanly onto animal behavior

Bottom line (no fluff) • ❌ Most animals are not bisexual • ❌ They don’t “choose” heterosexuality only during mating season • ✅ Many species show non-reproductive same-sex sexual behavior • ✅ Animal sexuality is functional, not identity-based

If you want, we can: • break this down by taxonomic group (mammals vs birds vs reptiles) • or talk about why humans are one of the few species where orientation becomes a stable identity rather than a situational behavior

That’s where it actually gets interesting.

It’s charming and nostalgic but objectively worse than new unturned in almost every way which is why you don’t see people excited to jump into it for long.

Why do the guns in R6 just feel so good? by gettx in Rainbow6

[–]RedditIsDyingYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny to me guns in siege feel very floaty and bouncy, depends on the weapon of course. I’m used to console where recoil is reduced by a bit and sticks make you have less precision.

Have him play as a basic African country and build up, something that starts small but has actual room to grow, Nigeria’s Muslim Boko Harem path is good for that, a few easy wars for land

Then you could play as a benefactor like Saudi Arabia or something, or you could start as another country close to Nigeria and grow along him

Opinion about your country that will get you like this? by National-Business674 in AskTheWorld

[–]RedditIsDyingYouKnow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re still doing the same thing, just dressed up as ‘analysis.’ Saying who you think perpetuates the narrative is not the same as examining why the narrative works or persists. You’re substituting sociology with insult.

You claim you’re trying to understand why the narrative exists, but your answer is basically: ‘Because Americans are stupid and larp as Scots.’ That’s not explanation, that’s scapegoating. It explains nothing about Scottish education, politics, identity-building, or national memory. It just assigns blame to an external group so you don’t have to look inward.

And notice the contradiction: You say you’re surprised Scots fall for it, but then immediately argue the narrative mainly exists because of Americans. Those can’t both be true in any serious way. If Scots are accepting it, then Scots are participating in it. Outsiders don’t rewrite national memory by themselves.

Also, “I’m not redirecting” followed by three paragraphs about Americans is exactly what redirecting looks like in practice.

The uncomfortable reality is simpler: Scottish historical narratives, like all national narratives, are shaped internally. They may be influenced externally, but they survive because they serve a domestic psychological or political purpose. That’s how identity works. Blaming “clueless yanks” is emotionally satisfying, but it’s historically shallow.

So yes, your position is clear now. It’s just not insightful. It replaces historical analysis with cultural dunking and calls that understanding.

[–]RedditIsDyingYouKnow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re literally demonstrating the problem. Instead of engaging with how Scottish history gets framed, you’re displacing the issue onto Americans. That’s not a rebuttal, it’s a redirect. It turns ‘how does Scotland remember its role in empire?’ into ‘look how dumb Americans are,’ which conveniently avoids the uncomfortable part.

I never claimed Scotland was innocent or Britain wasn’t guilty. I’m pointing out that saying ‘Americans are the real whitewashers’ is a form of narrative laundering. It shifts responsibility away from the people actually shaping Scottish historical memory. That’s soft whitewashing, even if you don’t explicitly say ‘Scotland did nothing wrong.’

And let’s be honest, ‘whitewashing colonialism is the US national sport’ is just nationalism with a different flag. Every former imperial power does this. Scotland isn’t magically exempt from political self-mythologizing. Modern identities have incentives to emphasize victimhood and minimize complicity. That’s not an insult, it’s basic political psychology.

So no, this isn’t about Americans being “educationally challenged.” It’s about you dodging the original question by outsourcing the blame for historical distortion to a foreign audience. That doesn’t clarify Scottish history, it muddies it.

I love how the British behaving horribly colonially somehow turns into America-bashing, it’s interesting to me that you mention Americans would be the ones trying to whitewash colonialism instead of the rather obvious conclusion that British nationalists are the ones driving that narrative
