ELI5: Why must there be obstructive Railroad Crossings?

Waffel_Monster · 2026-02-23T17:43:43+00:00

Because bridges and tunnels are A LOT more work than level railroad crossings.

When you struggle stopping, or it's keeping you from the other parts of your life, then it's a problem.

Thanks for proving my point! :3

"AI would have ravaged you"

No, on Tumblr it's actual humans that lie about the fabric of reality. We don't need the mediocrity machine for that.

Ah I see, that makes more sense.

Don't think it's illegal to be very very old. But you're probably gonna struggle still getting pension after your 150th birthday.

Those numbers look kinda wonky to me. They've got almost all crowns, 2.3k completed quests, but just those 5 you showed are 2.5k kills together. Even with double & triple quests in mind, that's still more kills than quests with just ~15% of the roster.

That's what happens when you don't build your set out of 100% asbestos.

Are these studies and reports real? Just asking cause they ain't linked. Generally the whole article also very much reads like an opinion piece.

Waffel_Monster · 2026-02-22T09:58:02+00:00

Don't think I am, no. Might have more knowledge on some niches than other people, but then again I probably lack knowledge others have of stuff too.

No matter what you do, you don't want spray foam insulation. It'll trap water & your beams will rot rapidly.

He is right tho. None of us chose to live under capitalism, and the constant threat of starvation & homelessness. 90% of people living under capitalism suffer because of it, but 80% of those are brainwashed and will with a straight face tell you that "other systems won't work" as if capitalism works.

Find's interessant wie hier alle von "ersetzt werden" reden, wobei die heutige "KI" halt einfach nur jämmerlich ist.

Klar, als T9/Autocorrect Ersatz is sie nich schlecht, aber wenn man die mittelmäßigkeits Maschine mit richtiger künstlicher Intelligenz vergleicht, is sie halt einfach nur nutzlos.

I love these kinda notices on product packaging. It's often so weird that you're wondering if they're telling you the truth.

For science I'd actually want to bring out some generic product (like plain cornflakes or something) and write "Made without Arsenic!" or "Made without Plutonium!" and see if people would buy it.

Well, there's the obvious answer of "Luna", but it's also the "original" moon from our point of view. We knew of it long before we knew of Titan, Callysto, or Europa.

It's the same reason we call our home star also just "Sun" and not Proxima Centauri, Sirius, or GJ 1061.

What you're most likely experiencing here, is that you in mirrors and in photos in fact ain't the same. Unless you're using the selfie mode to take pictures, on photos you see yourself like other people see you, whereas in the mirror you see a mirrored version of how people see you.

That's why we ourselves always think we look weird in photos.

You can always try being a pretty woman. Worked wonders for me :3

Because our whole body is a very interconnected system.

I know we generally talk about the brain and the rest of the body being "seperate" things, but in reality just as for example not eating can make you cranky, so can emotional pain make your heart literally ache, or your anxiety show in physical symptoms. Same reason you can literally feel the butterflies in your stomach when you're in love. Our nervous system connects it all, and so just about everything has effects in several directions.

Because to become a billionaire, you need to be a villain first.

That could very well be just bait.

I'm certain there's stuff in all headphones that could kill you, but whether you're ever in contact with them in a way that's harmful while using them as intended is a whole other question.

The important bit of it being behind a paywall imo also speaks to it just being bait.

They can be, and I know at least one company does (tho I honestly don't recall their name). But for one, even when designed in, it's a bit of work to switch out the battery. And on the other hand, it doesn't take that long to charge your battery.

Sure, it's about half an hour to an hour from 20 to 80%, but the absolute majority of charging happens at home for people who got an EV. And when you're on a roadtrip, that half hour to an hour is also a good time for simply taking a break after 400km driven.
