A four-panel Mr. Lovenstein comic titled “THIS COMIC MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO EELS OF WOOD”
The first panel shows an angry pink humanoid standing on a green circle, holding a bunch of asparagus spears and speaking to a yellow-skinned, bearded humanoid barely in the panel. The pink humanoid is saying “HEY GOD, WHY DID YOU MAKE HEALTHY FOOD TASTE BAD?”
The second panel shows the yellow-skinned, bearded humanoid in more detail. It has a halo and is wearing a white robe. It’s rolling its eyes angrily as it responds “OH MY GOD! DO I HAVE TO SHOW YOU EVERYTHING?”
The third panel shows the still-angry yellow-skinned humanoid cooking the asparagus spears in a frying pan over the open flame of a gas stove as the pink humanoid watches on amazed. The yellow humanoid is saying “SAUTÉ 'EM AND DON’T FORGET THE SEASONING! STIR AND TASTE AS YOU COOK!”
The final panel shows a close-up of the pink humanoid holding a half-eaten asparagus spear with its mouth full and eyes wide in awe as it says “IT’S… DELICIOUS!” A response from off-screen replies “OF COURSE IT IS!”

Yeah but the saying doesn’t make sense anymore since most of the fish are gone. Fishing is now a form of entertainment maintained by the state that you must pay to enjoy in a limited way, not a viable source of sustenance.
The Bellman Equation describes a “principle of optimality" for decision making.
Essentially, choose the action that maximizes your expected future “value.” The problem is how you choose your value function, and how you estimate the outcomes of your actions.
If you were to find an empty room there’s a decent chance there’s something invisible in it, from a metagaming perspective, because why waste the players’ time like that?
In ye olde editions traps and ambushes were way more common so a certain set of paranoid behaviors became standard practice. One of the ways of dealing with illusion magic is by disbelieving it, so a simply paranoid party could get advantage to dispelling illusions by saying they don’t believe what they they see, in theory.
However, just because the DM is out to get you doesn’t mean you aren’t a basket case.

Thank you, that explains a lot. I haven’t played DND yet and I definitely don’t know the history of it like that!
I always required the PC to behave as if they didn't believe to disbelieve. Just saying it does nothing. You must walk into the fire to disbelieve the fire.
