  • Not enough people buying Premium, eh?

    Jump

  • Companies don't need to make infinite money. That's just a weird incentive that modern corporations seem to be chasing and burning everything down around them to achieve.

  • I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out?

    Jump

  • This app requires access to your contacts

    Jump

  • You jest but that's literally already a thing that exists and you can buy it!

  • What really are the flaws of allowing anyone to euthanize themselves or relatives like we do sick animals?

    Jump

  • Again, there already is an easy way out. All that would change is the manner in which is happens and whether it happens professionally or not.

  • At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height?

    Jump

  • Gravity surely?

  • Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich?

    Jump

  • Because they've successfully been conned into thinking that what's in the best interests of the rich is in their own best interests too.

  • YouTube ads have ruined the good, old-fashioned Rick Roll.

    Jump

  • I don't know why I clicked that to find out what happens. I have an ad blocker lol.

  • What do zoos do with dead animals?

    Jump

  • That sounds like a warning to others lol. Don't inbreed or we'll feed you to the lions

  • People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.

    Jump

  • People born before 2000 think older technology just evaporated the minute the millenium ticked over.

  • Space pirates' ultimate version of walking the plank would be sending their victims into a black hole

    Jump

  • Tie them to the communications mast and give them thirty lashes with orions belt!

  • On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?

    Jump

  • Most cafes aren't open at 3am when I get off a dreadful shift and just want to wolf something down before collapsing into bed for 10 hours.

  • Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why

    Jump

  • Leave a bowl out with a sign that says "if the bowl is empty, please knock." You don't even have to fill the bowl with anything.

  • Why are people impressed with SpaceX?

    Jump

  • Iterative development like that isn't uncommon in engineering as a whole. Simulation can get you a long way but there's a hard limit to that. You don't think spacex designed a starship to use without running extensive simulations to try and figure it out before hand right?

    Sometimes you need to test in the field just to find out what bits you missed. Structural engineers will simulate and calculate extensively but they'll still build scale models and test pieces because it's the most reliable and effective way to ensure you're covering as many bases as possible.

    Its not an either/or situation here. They're doing the testing and simulation and applying it IRL to find out where things break.

  • The three little pigs is actually just the aristocracy blaming the poor for their problems

    Jump

  • I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

  • I hope this doesn't sound negative, it is a thought that I had and just felt good about it. I'm nothing. I'm cosmic dust but I enjoyed my life.

    Jump

  • Remember, there is: Life is meaningless and nobody cares :(

    And

    Life is meaningless and nobody cares :)

  • NSFW

    Cursing is when you use edgy filler words instead of saying something meaningful.

    Jump

  • Not true. Nothing quite gets the point across quite like "shits fucked."

  • Is it good employer strategy to pay my employees just enough so that they can't save money, so that they can never walk away from the job?

    Jump

  • Focus less on trying to stop them leaving and more on giving them good reasons to stay.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Drone racing applies particularly here!

  • Why doesn't Mongolia simply arrest Putin?

    Jump

  • Because the potential cost to them doesn't out weigh the benefits (or potential costs) they get from adhering to the ICC regulations.
