Meanwhile, in the US, going 74 mph in a 25 and killing someone? No consequences as long as you're a cop.

No, that's the point of the comment you're responding to. It's painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only "evidence" that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.

You can make the most over-the-top satire in the world, and people still won't get it.

Seattle minimum wage is $19.97 and it goes up every year. Though it's $17.25 for small businesses if you get tips or they pay for medical benefits.

Then, you could take those comments, and have the compiler use them to ensure you're using the right variable in the right place. Oh wait, we just invented a type system.

That was for nonworking families.

One of my favorite lines in the game is (paraphrasing):

The problem with the bugs is that they're relentless expansionists. We've found them on almost every planet in their territory that we've colonized.

It's also pretty clear that we've been farming the bugs for space oil.

Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)

It could be Ruby; puts is more common, but there is a print. With some silly context, the answer could even be correct:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)

Ah yes, I'll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.

It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before.

Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.
