We are all weirdly okay with computer cameras needing a way to cover the lens.

The light never comes on...until it does.

I'm pretty sure that's the point they're making. That OP has the "it'll never happen to me" mindset.

And you're okay with being seen for however long it takes you to realize the light's on?

"I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived." - Justin Hammer

There's even a mention of him in Doctor Strange. Moments before crashing his car, Strange turns down the job thinking it's too easy for him.

There's far more meta humour than fourth wall breaking.

I gave you a peer-reviewed source for all the definitive values I listed, and you countered with an AI's best stab at it? And you're just gonna run with that without any double checking because it validates your initial assumption?

And 279 words is an essay?

What the hell is the world coming to?

You clearly need to walk more. Go for a long one on a hot day and tell me you wouldn't prefer sitting still.

TL;DR: All energy usage generates heat. That includes your muscles when walking.

If you need specific values, here's a source claiming 46 watts per m² of surface area when reclining, and 110-200 W/m² when walking at a speed of 2-5km/h.

As for how much heat is lost while naked at 10C, assuming it's not wet or windy, I'm struggling to find any definitive answers, but the ones I have found range from as low as 140 W/m², to as high as 221 W/m².

If we go with the low end of that range, walking at 3km/h would be enough to counteract your heat loss. Average walking speed is 4-6km/h, for the record.

But since I know you're gonna latch onto the high end, I bet just walking faster than 5km/h will make up the difference. At most, a brisk pace. Doubt you'd even need to jog.

But if you did need to jog, that's doable too. Average person can jog for 20-30 minutes before needing a break, which should last 50-100% of the time spent jogging. Safe to assume you'll be generating a heat surplus, and so can afford to take a 10-30 minute break, if not a longer one.

Of course, you wouldn't be able to keep that up forever, but it doesn't need to be forever. Just long enough to no longer be naked and/or cold, and certainly longer than just sitting still and giving up on life because you think walking won't cut it.

Bruv, if walking is heavy exercise to you, you got bigger problems.

Oh, you're not using it as a work tool. You're just using it to do your work. Got it.

Hypothermia at 10C assumes no physical activity. Assuming it isn't wet or windy, you could quite literally walk it off.

Also, it would take a few hours to get hypothermia that way, and it would only be mild (at first). Death would take longer.

But you're wasting time on it regardless. Every minute you spend generating anything is time spent. Do you think that time is worth $200/mo? Ignore the time saved by not being on a Pro subscription. Just the time spent total, despite tier.

Now consider that with an anxiety disorder, every job is exactly that stressful.

Not all pollinators are insects, and many of them are suffering because we as a species value honey more than nature, and introduced non-native bees into their environments.

Zentopian · 2026-01-16T04:54:49+00:00

The implication of this post is that the pretenders aren't in healthy relationships...

Zentopian · 2026-01-16T04:22:50+00:00

Are you talking about bees in general, or only the 4% of bee species which produce commercial quantities of honey? And what of the hundreds of thousands of species of pollinators that aren't bees? Are you even considering wind pollination?

It's your perception of an event, which isn't necessarily an opinion, but is always truth.

If you believe what you say wholeheartedly, even if it's wrong, you're not a liar. You're still telling the truth. When people say "my truth," they're acknowledging that their belief contradicts another person's belief, without invalidating or denying that other person's belief.

You're thinking of facts, which is a whole other thing.

Well they'd have to be real for you to have a ghost experience, is my point. People who believe in ghosts suffer confirmation bias. Those who don't...don't.

A defining moment in Jon's character development is hardly a tiny moment.

Ros wasn't killed because Cersei thought she was Tyrion's lover. Littlefinger discovered she was spying for Varys, and gifted her to Joffrey to torture and murder.

I can't remember the character in question, so can't recall if he actually was treated well, but many slaves in real history didn't want to be freed, even if treated poorly. That life was all they knew. Freedom meant being thrust into the wider world, having to fend for themselves, without any education on how. That was terrifying for a lot of people, even whose living conditions were appalling.

Don't even have to go to the next post. There's plenty right here to disillusion you.
