I hate the term earth-like when all they really mean is rocky surface with signs of maybe water.

Nevermind if it’s a frozen wasteland. Nevermind if it’s atmosphere is made of sulphuric acid like Venus. Nevermind if it’s so close to it’s star that it’s tidally locked and half of it is a constant inferno. It’s “earth-like”!

I_Has_A_Hat,

we have no idea what makes it do that

Isn’t it the alignment of molecules in a material so that their electrical charges are all oriented in the same direction, thus attracting the opposite charged ions of other molecules in other objects towards the corresponding side of the magnet material? That’s why magnetism only affects materials like iron where the molecules naturally form in a uniform orientation during it’s transition from solid to liquid, and not other material that has a more random orientation.

I mean, I guess when you really boil it down, there may still be some question as to why positively charged ions are attracted to negatively charged ions in the first place. But then we’re getting into quantum mechanics which is way deeper of an answer than a grade schooler would be looking for and so far down the rabbit hole that making a claim like “we dont know how magnets work” is only true in the technical sense. And by that, I mean it holds as much truth as “we don’t know how anything works”.

If it did, it could only have been a positive effect. From a logistics standpoint, what happened that day is nothing short of astounding. Less than 3 hours after making the decision, the ENTIRE US airspace was cleared of all commercial traffic. 4500 planes were re-routed and grounded at a time of extreme uncertainty. It may have been his first day, but the guy did his job flawlessly.

I_Has_A_Hat,

I feel like there’s a lot of variables here. I am making some assumptions here, but as an example, I don’t think the hospitals in Gaza would have things like multiple MRI’s or CT Scanners that you would find in more developed areas. Those things require a pretty large amount of power. I know a lot of hospitals in undeveloped regions often only have one, sometimes none at all.

I think the only thing that can give some perspective is how big the diesel tanks are at the hospital. How much does 300L fill them? If that’s like a quarter or less of their total capacity, then yea, that’s not enough. But if that fills them by over half, then I kind of get it. You can only deliver so much at a time if you don’t want trucks of fuel parked outside the hospital, which just seems like a bad idea for many reasons.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Those bastards lied to me

Yes, that is the plot to Jurassic Park.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Ironically, this would be a terrible place to try and hide. Since it’s the furthest point from land, it tends to get visited by private ships pretty often, just so the people on board can say they’ve been to it.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Proto-chicken laid the egg. It was a proto-chicken egg. The creature that came out of it had enough genetic variance to be defined as a full chicken.

Note, the question does not ask “what came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?” It’s just “the egg”. It doesn’t matter what type of egg, as long as a chicken came out of it.

From that perspective, the egg came first.

I_Has_A_Hat,

I don’t think it’s as removed from skin color as you think. If someone saw the white kids saying it and didn’t know they grew up in the projects, would they still not care? Conversely, if a bunch of black kids who grew up in an affluent household said it, would people be offended?

I_Has_A_Hat,

Say Mexico was starving. Say aid was sent to them again and again but every time, the Mexican government snatched a large chunk of it up and hoarded it. Say then that the Mexican government decides to attack the US and the US cut off aid. The Mexican government still have huge stocks of food and supplies from the years of aid that was meant for the people, but now no new aid is coming in.

Is the US to blame for Mexicans starving? Or is it the Mexican government who refuse to distribute their stockpiles to their people?

I_Has_A_Hat,

If it’s small enough, I like to put it in one of my shoes.

I_Has_A_Hat,

What a big brush you’re using to paint. Zero people, huh? Are you including the Coast Guard with that? How about the Army Corps of Engineers?

I_Has_A_Hat,

Says he stepped away in 2018. Interesting to note that’s about when conspiracy forums took a hard turn right and went from “everyone is secretly out to get you” to “liberals are evil and the only uncorrupt bright spot in this world is conservatism and our lord, Donald J Trump.”

I guess the party just wasn’t as fun anymore after everyone stopped talking about aliens and started talking about things like The Storm™️. This isn’t a story of someone breaking free from Qanon or the Cult of Donald. This is an OG conspiracy theorist who saw his spaces get taken over by this new wave of partisan conspiracies and went “yikes, you guys are crazy! I’m getting out of here!”

I_Has_A_Hat,

Look at you being all critical of the US and not getting arrested or killed for it. You must really love Western freedom huh?

I_Has_A_Hat,

So do a lot of drinks.

Irish Coffee

Nutty Spaniards

Hell, Coke has caffeine in it. So add like every mixed drink to the list.

I_Has_A_Hat,

More that it’s a shitty comparison since there’s so many other drinks that fit that category. Might as well try to say they’re related because they’re both a liquid.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Funny how the countries that are supposedly the ones who know the real truth about the world are the same ones that routinely lock up journalists for trying to report about the world.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Ah yes, two examples where people leaked classified information vs. the countless thousands who merely express an opinion. Clearly the same thing.

I_Has_A_Hat,

It would be off the charts in Chinese media too if they had things like free press and didn’t arrest their people for posting things critical of the Chinese government.

I_Has_A_Hat,

What man? All I see is a greedy, little pig-boy.
