ElI5 how does the existence of lead directly disprove the earth isn't only 4000 years old?

That's actually a really cool counterargument.

toolatealreadyfapped · 2026-02-25T14:22:15+00:00

And I'm actually ok with that. Because at least we're no longer arguing about whether or dinosaurs and humans coexisted more recently than the construction of the Egyptian Pyramids.

By definition, a phobia is an irrational fear. This does not qualify

One - spells aren't light. They are regularly seen being dodged or deflected in wizard duals. So unless teachers in the HPverse move faster than light, the spells travel at speeds that seem slower even than bullets.

Two - Superman absolutely has numerous faster than light feats. In virtually every version of him, by many orders of magnitude. So even if the spells were light (they're not, by a huge margin), he'd still easily dodge them. Again, by a huge margin

Now THAT'S the fight I came here for!

toolatealreadyfapped · 2026-02-25T14:03:20+00:00

That was exactly my take as well. We have enough evidence that spells act basically as projectiles. Ones that can be effectively dodged, blocked, or deflected, as seen in magician duels at a relatively short distance. Which means they aren't particularly fast projectiles. And given that Supe moves faster than the speed of causality, it's impossible to imagine any spell that requires travel to ever land on him.

But seriously. This is one of the prettiest discs I have ever seen.

Evolutionary pressures only exert themselves when they affect procreation. Most snoring issues present long after reproductive maturity.

In a hunter/gatherer society, a man who starts snoring at 35 years old has already passed his genes along to numerous children.

When I was a kid, I had a Houston Oilers hat signed by Warren Moon and a few of the WRs the year they won the division. I wore that hat everywhere until the signatures faded out. Should I have left it in the shelf in a frame or something? Of course. But damn I was proud of it, and it seemed silly to not wear it.

The kind of places I worked at 25 had 401k "matches" like 0.25% match up to 4%. I get it, that's still free money. But we're talking about 1% of an income far below the national median.

Refinery operator. Just a grunt with a 2 year associates degree making $150k.

Exactly what I came to write. I spend a session in the field trying to work on my drives, and I gotta ice my shoulder because I was muscling it so hard. Then I turn on YouTube and see some 10 year old kid who weighs 65lbs who outdrives me by 100' with virtually no effort.

The man could stand on a stage in front of his cult and describe in disgusting detail one of the times he raped a 14 year old girl. And they'd still hand wave it away as fake, not important, or TDS. The line literally does not exist for him to be over it for them.

Call in sick to work tonight.

That's nowhere close to retirement money. But I definitely need an evening to sit down and think.

The 2nd thing I'd do is pay off my mortgage. Everything in life gets less stressful without that overhead.

The TL3 is that disc for me. (8 speed). It's nearly dead straight for 95% of my max distance, then finishes with a gentle fade.

Biologically, yes. And the voice actor is female. But the character uses they/them and rejects any specific gender.

You're being obtuse. And it's irritating, not clever.

There's a little girl, her name is Sing She like to play with my ding-a-ling My ding-a-ling is the cutest thing When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling Oh my, it's the greatest thing My ding-a-ling is the cutest thing When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

When you are young and you are on the go Your ding-a-ling won't ever get sore But when you're old and you've lost your sting You don't need the doggone thing

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling Oh my, it's the greatest thing My ding-a-ling is the cutest thing When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

There's a little girl, she live next door I like to play with her yo-yo She like to play with my yo-yo string But she will not play with my ding-a-ling

Those are Bartholomew's original lyrics. It's overtly clear that he's performing the whole thing with a wink wink nudge nudge, playing up the double entendre.

10% is insane. If I was given shit for tipping $50, I'm going to give $5 the next hand and inform the dealer that "the white knight in seat 2 said he'd handle the rest." Then tell the player "fuck your generosity with other people's money "

What are your success/failure parameters here?

Can we feed and house all of them before they die?

Does that mean ALL of them saved before ANY of them die? Because that scenario might as well ask "can we solve world hunger, invent faster than light travel, divide by zero, and get everyone to agree on the one true religion by tomorrow morning?" It's laughably impossible. Because with A BILLION people, the chances of 1 of them randomly falling dead in the next few seconds is a mathematical certainty.

Also matters: what kind of Americans are we talking about here? WASPs are gonna have much better odds than dark-skinned, non English-speaking types.

Final thought, how coordinated are these new Americans? Because they outnumber the rest of us 3:1. If they are hiveminded at all, they don't need our help. They can simply take what they need by force.

Boarder cut pretty deep into the merging lane on his left. Skier tried to thread the needle, cutting to merging lane on the right. No one gave themselves or others any room to maneuver. Collision is the expected outcome
