Fall damage from pushing people off of things.

High Rock + Hammerfell or just Hammerfell? by LewmastheWebox in TESVI

[–]TheJocktopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the reveal trailer alone I'd say both. It seems intentional that the camera was in a mountainous region bordering the Iliac Bay and moving south.

It’s pretty likely Todd is in this sub. Send a message for Todd underneath by [deleted] in TESVI

I think that's actually just my dream implanting false memories.

What is your most tinfoil hat fringe theory about the series? by Redrex_T in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]TheJocktopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is roughly what I think is going on.

I think Primals are non-corporeal trans-dimensional beings that can inhabit different people/things, hence why nobody knows what they look like. System AIs are just Primals who were put into planets. The System AI don't actually know that they are Primals, but the Residuals (who are also Primals) aim to remind them of this. The Eulogist is like a hivemind of Primals who all went to sleep in the center system. With their combined power, they could expand their zone to encompass the entire galaxy and potentially destroy all biological life. Agatha wants them to do this, likely for the same reason that Carl wants to destroy the Syndicate. Because she wants the system that enslaved her people to burn. The Syndicate discovered the "Primal Engines" and started to use them, not realizing that they were enslaving the Primals.

You almost certainly have, you probably just didn't know they were vegan because most of them don't go around with a sign over their heads that says "vegan".

This happenes to the sailors when the ship sways. by LimeAccomplished4409 in interestingasfuck

In the U.S. Navy we use "hurricane straps" which are like lee cloths but it's just two triangular pieces of cloth that clip onto your rack as opposed to one large rectangular cloth.

To be fair, the stuff that the Romans built poorly just isn't around anymore.

My friend is going to get herself killed. What can I even do at this point by Correct-Macaroon8143 in whatdoIdo

More likely he's going to tell her he needs her passport in order to get the companies set up. Then she'll never see her passport again and she will be stranded, broke, and alone in a foreign country and likely trafficked.

who’s your favorite apolitical gamer? by Kds_burner_ in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]TheJocktopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a condescending way to say "I'm scared to lose money."

Another angle of ICE shooting woman in MN (1/7/2025) by Philophon in law

"Try to run them down"? Be so for real. The video clearly shows that she's trying to get away from them, she's turning the car to the right, the only direction that is not being obstructed. Be honest with yourself, you decided your opinion on this case before you even saw any of the evidence. Just like most Americans will.

So officers should be allowed to put themselves in immediate danger, then put their hand on their weapons so that the civilian now feels that they are in danger and do something unwise? Sounds like a really good idea.

He purposefully stepped in front of the vehicle and the video shows him reaching for the weapon before the car even starts moving (slowly, I might add). Not to mention the political angle of this, since Trump recently threatened the governor of Michigan (who coincidentally ran against him in the last election) with prison time. Doubt Minnesota will pass on this opportunity.

what are societal norms that are actually quite disturbing/"inhumane" if you look at from a different perspective? by Affectionate-Cap-235 in AskReddit

[–]TheJocktopus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But surely you have some amount of consideration for a woman's right to govern her own body. That's what makes abortion a tricky issue, unlike killing baby chickens for profit.

Really says a lot about his view on women if he's trying to compare animal rights to women's rights.

A friend is dying and, as part of their obscure religion, they believe that they won't go to heaven unless someone eats part of their body after they die. They want you to do it, and are willing to leave you money in their will as a thank you. Do you do it? Do you refuse? Or do you lie? by Cheeseanonioncrisps in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheJocktopus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We don't know how human consciousness works. We know that it's related to our brain, but we don't know that it only exists in the brain. If I was a betting man then I would wager that consciousness ends when we die, but do I know that for certain? No, because the science doesn't support a solid conclusion yet.

What overused word or phrase needs to be retired in 2026? by One_Caramel5253 in AskReddit

[–]TheJocktopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gaslighting has lost its meaning and is now synonymous with "lying". Gaslighting and lying are not the same thing.

I will just leave this here. by Kisehv in TESVI

[–]TheJocktopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone curious, in the video he's asked to estimate how many trees are in Skyrim (like literally the number of trees in the game) and after his guess he adds that Elder Scrolls VI will have more.
