This led me to watch the Eggless Omelette skit on youtube, and then came across this case of almost malicious compliance in the comments:
@jacoL8 6 months ago an excerpt from a Reddit comment:
This reminds me of a day when I was working as a kitchen manager. I had a server ring in one of our chicken dishes with a note: “cooked medium rare”.
I called the server over, and showed them the ticket. They asked “can we not do that?” And I said “We can. If they want to wind up in the hospital.” And I sent her back to explain.
The server went to the table, and told them chicken can’t be served undercooked, and the guest sent her back to tell us, “isn’t the customer always right?”
Hearing the conversation, the head chef exasperatedly took the ticket from my hand, walked over to the table and explained that chicken is not cooked like steak, and we are not legally allowed to serve undercooked chicken to them and they would wind up with it coming out of both ends. The guest agreed that would be a bad idea, and asked the chef to “prepare it how you usually would then.”
While leaving, the guest came up to apologize, and admitted that they didn’t cook at home and had no clue about the chicken, and that they were just trying to impress their date who had ordered a steak.
I’m only watching if it’s 100% serious. Terry acts as he acts and the entire rest of the movie is as written in the script. Full commit, no comedic rewriting. It’s just Terry playing Snow White.
Bayer. They knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Latin America after the blood was rejected in Europe. This still blows my mind. Some corporate waste of oxygen actually decided to do this. It wasn’t an accident. That guy needs to get stabbed with thousands ten fucking thousand of AIDS needles.
It will suck for a while. And then it will get better. And it will stop hurting. Go hang out with friends as much as you can. Keep busy. Time is the only cure and keeping busy will make time go faster.
Is this a viable solution to way to avoid the effects of climate change? It’s unrelated. The whole thing is to emit less carbon. If the dome does that, then yes.
Would it be cooler in the dome? Dude, domes are very cool. That’s why chrome-dome is such a compliment. In terms of temperature, probably not. Heat needs to dissipate, and any sealed area is going to maintain thermal momentum more than an open space. Unless you started out cold, then it would stay cold for longer than an open space.
Would there be any negative repercussions? Yes. But you’ll have to be more specific. It would be a huge undertaking that probably wouldn’t be possible, emit lots of carbon, probably be protested by a lot of people, huge waste of resources, etc etc. Not to mention this experiment has been attempted many times and never been successful.
Would clouds form inside the dome? Could it rain in the dome? If it was big enough, and therefore yes.
Would the rain be more toxic than usual because car fumes wouldn’t dilute as well? How big do you want this dome to be?? It would have to be absolutely massive to make it worth having cars inside.
Could outside lightning break the dome if it got struck? Well, it’s going to be pretty thick isn’t it, so unlikely. It would blacken and melt the glass over time. But at the scale you’re suggesting, it’s essentially a mountain that would peak above the clouds.
Would there be a single point in the dome that the sunlight would be directed to that everyone would just have to avoid, else they just burst into flame? As … fun as it would be to be smitten by the sun, I expect the glass would be so thick, it would be quite dim inside so, I don’t think so.
