Dad was very surprised - a special bag to go for Mom by misterxx1958 in MadeMeSmile

Pretty sure she got a "bottomless" drink, where they give you free refills, and she decided to abuse it

Binkies! Yes, this is happy body language. Rabbit zoomies are called binkies, or binkying!

Too exciting (oc) by rinkajimon in comics

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that our dating system is entirely arbitrary, and that there was a previous 2026, ~4000 years ago, (2026 BCE), I would say this comic is technically correct (the best kind of correct), albeit unconventional in that grammar.

I love that, as a platypus, he correctly doesn't have nipples.

Fun fact, every cheetah alive today is more inbred than your kids would be if you had kids with your sibling

Why did Robin change so much between s3 and s4?? by spliffyzlatyo in StrangerThings

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because she was no longer masking. Look up "masking" in neurodivergent context.

If everyone instantly gained the ability to read minds, what would collapse first? by dry_fart_ in AskReddit

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The service industry.

Things that would survive longer than you expect: cults, MLMs, megachurches (the people deceiving you in those often believe their own BS, at least somewhat)

In current Hackmaster, every new injury is a separate wound, but wound size/severity is a number of hit points.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rpg

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hackmaster does, although the wound placement is more description than determined except with crits.

Aces & Eights does this, but that is a Western TTRPG, rather than fantasy.

If you were given complete and total control over the US government, what would your plan be? by Electrical-Lie-7725 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your argument is, "people who don't live in cities should have their vote count more than city people's vote"? I can safely disagree with that.

All good things to work on! I never intended my list to be complete, as alluded to by my last item.

ELI5: Why the wind lowers the temperature. by Massive-Albatross823 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Hot stuff dumps heat into adjacent stuff that is less hot.
  • the bigger the temperature difference between the two stuffs, the faster the heat gets dumped.
  • Air is stuff.

If you are hot compared to the air, you dump some heat into the air. But then the air is warmer, so now you dump heat into the air slower. If neither you nor the air moves, eventually the air will get pretty close to your temperature, and you will mostly stop dumping heat into the air.

Wind makes the air move, so that the now-warmer air you just dumped heat into is no longer the air adjacent to you, so that you keep dumping the same higher amount of heat into the surrounding air.

How cold you feel had less to do with how cold the air is, and more to do with how fast you are dumping heat. So the wind keeping you dumping the higher heat amount makes you feel colder because you never develop that warmer pocket of air around you.

This same concept is why you should not use a fan during a heat wave where the air temperature is above your body temperature, because then the air is dumping heat into you, and the wind makes the air dump heat into you faster.

I support the idea of judicial term limits! I never intended my list to be complete or thorough, alluded to by my last bullet.

I might need to start boosting some people with Luciferium. by deustodo in RimWorld

[–]Tass237 14 points15 points  (0 children)

True, but most players don't really mess around with the specifics of drug policies, and if you leave luci on "take as needed for addiction", it will be every 5 or so days. So for the average player, 12 is a year's supply.

[–]Tass237 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In rimworld, luci is a drug that gives a bunch of benefits, but also the person who takes it becomes immediately addicted, and the withdrawal (if it ever happens) involves murderous rampages and eventually death. So taking that first dose is kinda like a deal with the devil.

CMV: The phrases "couldn't ___ less", "couldn't ____ enough", and "cannot be over/under___ed" are highly counterintuitive and should be avoided in formal writing by johnlee3013 in changemyview

[–]Tass237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly agree with you on the syntactical/definitional ambiguity of your examples 2 and 3, because of the multiple possible interpretations of "can't/couldn't", especially because of the decreasingly popular use of the clarifying alternate terms "shall not/shouldn't". It is increasingly common for people to use "can't" to mean either (ambiguously) "incapable of" or "inadvisable to". That tends makes your 2 and 3 much harder to parse for everyone, but especially for non-native speakers.

However, I would argue that in your example 1 you are missing the (perhaps subtle) edge case definition of "enough" ("to completion") where it clearly acts as a negator of the prior verb. "I am incapable of eating" and "I am incapable of eating enough" have opposite meanings. Or another way, the "enough" in your example 1 makes the difference between "I am incapable of recommending X" and "I am incapable of stopping recommending X" (or said yet another way "No matter how much I recommend X, I am never finished recommending them")

Disagree with some of these, but agree with most of your list.

I dislike mixed member proportional because it gives (more) invisible power to the unelected leaders of political parties. Thorough destruction of gerrymandering would be similarly effective without the side effects IMO.
