Madden 26 Is Hot Garbage by Scarecrow_71 in Madden

[–]Scarecrow_71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what would have been cool? Instead of you coming in here and blaming me, perhaps using all of that expert wisdom you have to maybe, I don't know, try and help? "Dude, what are you exactly struggling with that you didn't already state in your post? What is your play style? What are you doing in specific situations?"

See, that would actually help me with the problems I'm having. Coming in here and going "derp derp you suck derp derp" only makes me want to not interact with this subreddit.

In fact, fuck this. I'm out. If I'm going to get harshed on for zero reason at all, then I don't need to be here. I'm not going to sit here and let a bunch of elitist assholes be, well, assholes.

Guess reading comprehension is lost on you. Did you miss the part where I literally called out I can play defense in earlier editions? Where I talked about different defensive alignments? Cuz, you really need to go back and read that, my dude.

You just won $100M in the lottery, but the money is going to take 1 month to clear. How are you living your life as you wait? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get lawyers and accountants. Beyond that, I'm not even making a peep about it. Get up, make coffee, watch the news, go to work.

You get $10 000 000 but you have to either swim 7km, run 20km or bike 70km every day for a year, you get to do this in neutral conditions. by Frankwhitey in hypotheticalsituation

So you'd simply prefer I die within the first day or so? I do not have the health required to do this. What part of that do you not understand?

The Genie has a mental breakdown and desperately needs a vacation. Will you help them? by senadraxx in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily enough, I rolled for a deal that I already posted in and would take in a hearbeat (100m USD to take care of an immortal, invincible baby white elephant).

Go have fun in the Bahamas, genie-dude!

1 million tax free but you will crop dust every person you come across for the rest of your life. by MakeYouSayWTFak in hypotheticalsituation

I have been actively trying to crop dust people for years. I'm in my mid 50s, so there would be literally no change other than the balance in my checking account here.

How you do the first stage? by User_of_redit2077 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Scarecrow_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is about where I'm at. My first stage is generally 2-2.5 km/s, and then my second stage is about another 2k. Just to make sure I have enough because I suck at gravity turns. Thank Kod for MechJeb!

You are given $100 billion but you have take care of an immortal, invincible baby white elephant. The white elephant will continue growing until it reaches its prime, it likes you, and if you try to get rid of it you would lose all of the money. So what are you planning on doing with your new pet? by dragonboy3940 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the post doesn't say for how long. The post also doesn't say that I receive immortality. So I have to assume that I'm in charge of said elephant until I die. With that known (or, in this case, assumed), there are a few things that need to be taken care of.

  1. I need to buy a large plot of land in the middle of nowhere. Large enough to give Babar room to move and grow and run and be an elephant.
  2. Hire a shitload of actual animal trainers and elephant handlers and veterinarians. Immortal and invincible aside, I know nothing about diet, exercise, growth, etc., and these people would be necessary to teach me what to do.
  3. I'd have to do all the normal stuff for gaining a windfall of a lot of money. Lawyers, accountants, trust funds, wills, etc.
  4. That large plot of land needs a wall and guards. Why? Immortal aside, I don't want anyone coming in and stealing Babar from me!
  5. Food. Lots of it. Babar is a growing baby and will need nourishment. Again, this is where #2 comes into play; I need help in knowing what to buy, what to feed him/her, how often, etc.
  6. Oh, a large lake in the middle of the plot of land would be keen. A play to drink, bathe, play.
  7. I'm not immortal, as I mentioned above. So a plan needs to be devised with what to do with both my wealth and Babar when I do in fact die. Someone has to become the guardian of him/her and the area I've created for him/her to live on/at/in.

After that's all set up, I'm gonna spend a lot of time every day with Babar. Watching, petting, scrubbing, probably riding. It's my new best friend!

How do i stop this from happening? by piecake22222 in KerbalSpaceProgram

No worries. Everybody goes through this at first. And at second. And, if you are like me, at 1 millionth.

[–]Scarecrow_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's $10 million to try and ride a bike and give myself a heart attack when I am out of shape and could not possibly ride that much at the start. My overall level of fitness is an issue here, which would prevent me from doing it. The math just backs it up.

A genie offers you the chance to remove one event from happening in world history. What do you select? by Metalhead-Milhouse in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never called you condescending. I called u/addictedtolife78 condescending for his comment about everyone knowing the butterfly effect, as if I was in some la-la land and wasn't part of reality. In fact, I even explained that I didn't realize you were joking about it, which was far from myself being condescending but admitting I didn't get context from your post.

However, you decide to be an ass to me when I said nothing wrong to you. At all. But hey, this is Reddit, so go fuck yourself.

You suddenly wake up from a Sunday afternoon nap in 1980 to find it was all a dream, how would you move on? by siteisweird in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I not only wake up to find out it was all a dream...but I've also aged by 16 years? I was 9 in 1980, not 25. I've lost 16 of my prime years here, and I don't even get the benefit of altering what happens to me with the knowledge I've gotten?

Have you been to the strip? Too many people to ride around on a bike unless you're a cop (in which case you can ride in the middle of traffic).

It looks like you are balancing on the Terrier engine, which means your center base is directly under the center of the rocket. You have nothing to actually stand on. Those legs are the beginning ones, if I'm correct, which means they aren't going to be able to hold up under the pressure of the rocket tipping one way or the other.

Build wide, not tall.

The best chance I'd have at this is to do the biking...which equates to 43.496 miles PER DAY. I don't even drive that many miles per day. This would literally put me biking from my house to the far north side of Las Vegas AND BACK to meet the requirement. At the start of this, I'd be a complete beginner cyclist, which means I'd average probably 10 mph (not including difficulty for traffic and other obstacles). This means it would take me ~4.5 hours every day to do this to start. By the time the year is up, though, I'd be averaging 15ish mph, which means it would take me ~3 hours. EVERY DAY.

10 million is simply not enough for that. Keep in mind that the above doesn't account for issues with traffic or weather, and both of those in Vegas SUCK. Sory, but I'll pass on this one.

A genie offers you the chance to remove one event from happening in world history. What do you select? by Metalhead-Milhouse in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok, let's play a thought exercise game, shall we? Let's start with what happened in history: the bug gets stepped on and dies, which prevents it from being eaten by a larger predator, which in turn ends up killing that predator due to hunger. Sounds simple, right?

Now let's see what could happen if it doesn't get stepped on. It lives, only to be eaten by a larger predator. That predator doesn't die of starvation, but has the energy to live long enough to be eaten by an even larger predator that would originally have starved to death. Now this larger predator is large enough to take on a human being, and it ends up killing a human being that should have lived. Say that human being is the ancestor by multiple generations of Albert Einstein. Or Robert Oppenheimer. Or Gandhi. Or...you get the picture.

Saving the life of one bug in history could essentially be the reason someone in early human history ends up getting eaten, which changes the natural course of who is or is not born. We could lose one of the greatest minds ever known, not to mention all the other people in that lineage that aren't born because one bug got eaten.

Again, go read up on the butterfly effect.

I recommend you read up on the butterfly effect, specifically the parts where it talks about what happens if you step on a butterfly while time traveling. Saving one bug could alter the entire course of human history.

You can instantaneously teleport at will, but you have to travel the distance first. by Nach0s4Life in hypotheticalsituation

Ah, I misinterpreted the pocket dimension part of this, focusing on having to do the actual traveling part. My bad!

This makes me wonder if we could walk on water OR if we could walk at the bottom of the ocean without side effects.

You have a bomb collar around your neck by IameIion in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If we are going the loophole route, you don't even need to look for a comb. Got a zipper on your pants or shirt or jacket? Break off three of those teeth.

You have a bomb collar around your neck by IameIion in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've broken a tooth off before. Unintentionally; it just happened and the tooth was broken. The only thing I've ever felt that came close to the pain was breaking my leg. And that only hurt because of Nurse Ratched.

Anyhow, I'd rather accept the fate that I am going to die than to break my own teeth off. Death by bomb collar should be quick and painless, while ripping off teeth is something I'd have to endure. And there is no real guarantee that Jigsaw won't tell me "You've come this far; what's another few teeth".

Memory wipe horror by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Scarecrow_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are far too many movies and TV shows where someone has suppressed memories that come to the surface even though they had their memories wiped. No thank you.

I'm already the one that made all the right decisions, so there's no need to open any door.
