I've thought about that too and to be honest it's a much more likely explanation but I prefer my version

This is wonderful, thank you

I'd swear some of my deleted by user comments on threads on other instances, on more than one occasion, have been upvoted by fellow bears after deletion. That's ridiculous

Ridiculously wholesome that is

lmao how did this escape being a new site tagline

5609 light years from Earth, two stars are dancing around each other in a dust cloud.

As they dance and regularly get close to each other, they emit wonderfully regular smoke rings

Are you talking about perplexity.ai ? because it looks like a shitty LLM answering questions instead of an actual search engine. It looks absolutely atrocious privacy-wise, too.

Crassus invented the fire brigade

Didn't he routinely order his brigade to do nothing until he managed to acquire the burning property (at increasingly decreased cost as the fire raged) from its owner ?

This is deeply cursed

You got red wine ?

Dice your tempeh, fry it in a large pan; once it's roasted all around, add your red wine and garlic powder; cook at medium heat for ~30 minutes; add a mix of flour and cold water at the end if needed to make it less liquid

Even better if you add some diced carrots in there

Yeah, the crop rotation thing I found very good.

As for your suggestion, that sounds like an awesome concept. Lots of interesting aspects to think of, too - initially gathering fossil fuel from cars and the like works, but then it starts to go bad with a roll chance it destroys engines; botulism % chance increase for tin cans as a food source as time goes by; add a nuke, viral or ecological apocalypse for a background and you can add a shitton of interesting features, too. A well-made game like this would work even with stardew-valley-like level of graphics IMO.

You'll probably get flak for this but I agree.

if humans can only progress into space by first kidnapping animals, then they don't deserve to see the stars.

Indeed; I'd have happily volunteered instead of a monkey or a cat for such an endeavour for the benefit of our species; and I'm sure I'm not the only one. There's something far more moral about testing such things with people fully aware of what they're doing and the risks compared to sentient beings not comprehending what's happening to them and likely being in a panic all along the way. There should be a word for it, really.

Oh wait, I think there is: consent

btw

I tried that one because it looked so close to Banished (which was awesome) but I left it after about 20 minutes, it felt lackluster; I may have to try it again
