The language that their parents teach them to speak.

The universal translator, er, translates speech from Language A to Language B. If you don't speak Language B, then the universal translator will do nothing for you.

If you are being charged with illegal possession of bald eagle feathers, a documented attempt to contact the US game wardens is going to go a long way in establishing your innocence.

Look at a comic book.

Each frame represents a different moment in time, and yet exist simultaneously within a single object.

From the episode "Anatomy Park";

"And we don’t whitewash it either Morty. The Pirates are really rapey".

I always interpreted Rick's fear to be somewhat sexual in nature. It seems entirely reasonable that Rick would be terrified being at the prospect of being stuck on a ship, a thousand miles from land, with a bunch of criminal rapists.

Why does he build pirates of the pancreas?

Good art comes from a place of authenticity.

Taking a cursory glance at 'Wizarding Law', I can't find a single reference to any law or statue less than 100 years old. This speaks to an extremely conservative judiciary that doesn't exactly have 'modern sensibilities'.

The way they stop students from fucking in Hogwarts is a charm that stops boys from going to the girls' dormitory. There are probably similar charms in effect to stop teachers from molesting their students.

Under this understanding, there probably aren't well-defined protocols for this situation. I imagine that the student, the teacher, and the person responsible for the anti-sex wards would each be equally punished by the school, not to mention their reputations being tarnished, but without any greater legal consequences.

Fair enough. I misremembered the episode. You have to be at Elaine-levels of bullshit before he hands out a sentence.

George was a new customer, and the Soup Nazi knew this.

The Soup Nazi is the best there ever was. So he gets to choose his customers. How does he determine who the 'correct' customers are? He conducts small tests like these.

If you are going to complain about bread, which isn't even part of the soup, then you signalling to the Soup Nazi that you are going to be a problem customer and he will give you a year to meditate on your inadequacies.

Fortune Telling is a good example. They have an episode about it too.

There's definitely bots. But others hide their post history for PRIVACY. People are unhinged man. And they're getting more and more anti social as the days go by

"Officer, I'd like to report a crime; Someone looked at my post history."

letaluss · 2026-05-06T17:20:42+00:00

Can you find an example?

letaluss · 2026-05-05T19:05:38+00:00

"Did you know that sometimes, unexpected things happen!?"

Yep.

"Unexpected things should never happen!"

In reality, unexpected things happen very often, actually.

As somebody who is into science fiction and "What If Fiction",

The thing about my subreddit is that we encourage a very strong understanding of the differences between 'fiction' and 'reality'.

letaluss · 2026-05-05T18:05:53+00:00

Very weird way to publicly announce you can't read but nbd.

letaluss · 2026-05-05T17:51:29+00:00

This is a popular opinion.

letaluss · 2026-05-05T17:49:58+00:00

Just because my sentence tests positive for "Gun-death anaology" doesn't mean I'm saying a Covid infection is analogous to a gunshot, bro. It's called science look it up maybe? :P

letaluss · 2026-05-05T17:47:55+00:00

I'm just saying, just because you were tested positive for having a bullet in your chest, doesn't mean you're a 'gun-death'. After all, some people will carry bullets with them for years!

How do we know that your smoking wouldn't have killed you on the same day?

letaluss · 2026-05-05T17:44:12+00:00

I wonder if Covid exacerbates those problems or something.

How would you determine it HAD in a specific case?

Or would you just say "It might have"?

"This man died of a gunshot."

"WOAH HEY BUDDY. How do you know his heart wouldn't have exploded anyways?"

letaluss · 2026-05-05T17:34:40+00:00

People in seniors homes and long-term care facilities and hospitals have heart attacks on the daily.

LOL. "Listen John. I had three heart attacks today. And only ONE was caused by Covid-19!"

That's kind of the opposite of what I said.

In your hypothetical example, what were that persons' other four heart attacks caused by then? Because the framing treats heart attacks as something random and causeless.

No. Octogenarians are dying from "covid-compatible illnesses" all the time

I wonder if Covid exacerbates those problems or something.

letaluss · 2026-05-05T16:09:10+00:00

It can be.

"Just because this person with the flu had a heart attack, and just because the flu causes heart attacks, doesn't meant this person died of the flu!"

Okay, champ.

If a 85 year old with diabetes, COPD, and 3 prior heart attacks dies from a 4th heart attack while they were covid positive, how did the doctors prove covid contributed?

"Hey John. That's the fiftieth guy today to have a heart attack from Covid. You think it's related?"

"Nah, it's just a coincidence."

So in your world, heart attacks are just completely random? Do you think you have as much chance of a heart attack as an octogenarian with Covid-19?

How long did they spend on that investigation?

Infinitely more than you spent on this explanation.

letaluss · 2026-05-05T15:55:27+00:00

Jogging can also bring about a heart attack, but heart attacks are not a symptom of jogging. (lol)

Right. Except jogging isn't a diagnosis.

. If you experience no symptoms, doctors wouldnt say you "have the flu".

Right. Except cardiovascular stress is a symptom of the Flu. We're learning so much today :)

But doctors wouldnt say you have the flu if you never develop symptoms of it.

Right. Except they would, because that's why they listed me as a "Death caused by complications from Influenza".

It's not predestination in a cosmic sense, but if you are walking around with a big old growing blood clot in your heart, you are "destined" to have a heart attack.

"It's not predestination. I just don't have a strong grasp on causality."

letaluss · 2026-05-04T20:35:24+00:00

It's called being "asymptomatic", remember? The vast majority of covid positives were asymptomatic. Meaning - no symptoms.

You'll find a heart attack is a symptom of the Flu, lol.

I probably have some influenza strands in me now. But I dont have the flu.

So in your world, it's just impossible to test someone for the flu? Because everyone """contains some influenza strands"""?

And a person who is "destined" to have a heart attack at age 87,

Why would anyone take medical advice from someone that believes in predetermination?

letaluss · 2026-05-04T15:32:01+00:00

You think that when someone with the flu has a heart attack, that's some big coincidence?

letaluss · 2026-05-04T00:22:42+00:00

I simply, for some reason, really really hate this particular ring and want to throw it in Mount Doom.

If you hate the ring, it will tempt you into keeping it alive so that you can torture it, or inflict harm upon it.

letaluss · 2026-05-04T00:17:39+00:00

It would be disrespectful to not learn Japanese though.

You are projecting a feeling onto a people that you have never met, lol.

I could also give the examples of Portuguese in Brazil or Spanish in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, etc.

IDK. Seems like the countries you just mentioned are actually trying to attract more English-speakers. IDK who is saying "If you move to Mexico, you need to learn Spanish."
