They’re all pieces of shit and deserve to be kicked out an airlock into deep space.

This is an inherently unwinnable trap. Creationists will ultimately always play the undisprovable “God made it that way” card. Blind faith is a mental illness that’s endemic to humanity and is probably going to get us all killed.

This makes me feel like I did the first time I saw a full blood moon. Amused but ultimately disappointed that the world didn’t end.

When cats bring you food, mice, birds, etc. it’s because they think you’re an especially stupid cat, but they like you enough to keep trying to take care of/teach you.

Honestly I don’t think this should be a crime.

IMO the problem really took off when smart phones entered the equation. When any idiot can get online with almost zero barrier to entry, then every idiot will get online. It’s why I like Lemmy; it’s not popular and the difficulty to access it is marginally harder than Reddit’s.

Once the Internet was saturated with idiots then marketing and monetization followed along. Capitalism is seriously the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Infinite petty cash. you can’t buy most big-ticket items with cash, like a new car or a house, and you can’t spend it online, only in person. And, since you can only do it to pay for things, you can’t just pull money out of your pocket forever to hoard. You might be able to trick it with the right accomplice, or just use it to buy gold and then resell it, but it’s pretty inefficient.

So instead of Storm you’d be High Humidity.

B-tier power: Exact Change. Any time I want to pay for something with cash, I have the power to reach into my pocket and pull out exactly the amount of cash money needed to do so. This has no effect on anyone’s money anywhere else, like wallets or bank accounts - it just magically appears.

TIL that counterfeit fucking cheese is a thing.
