makes me think of the loopholes christian teenagers come up with to claim they’re totally not having premarital sex.

on the off chance you aren’t just trolling, and for those of us who don’t know german, what or who do you mean by ‘responsible people’, and why do you think that handing them over would result in peace?

😛

no, i didn’t, there’s a fair few communities there i’m in, and it’d be a shame to lose them.

oh no! i hope they can get back up somewhere. anyone know what’s going on, if their admin is posting about this elsewhere or something?

perhaps, though you’d have to dig a much bigger hole. however, the paper points out that the sheer military uselessness of such an enormous bomb would be crucial to making it legal or politically feasible. the international community would be understandably sus of anyone wanting to make 1620 tsar bombas.

where did you come across this? if it’s a web page or something, it should be pretty easy to sleuth it out.

wow, and the bomb only needs a yield of 1620 times the largest nuclear bomb ever deployed.

i don’t think any of those four fellows in the OP killed themselves, and in fact, they all lived to ripe old ages.

that line only appears straight because of the map projection being used. the one that appears curved is actually straight on a globe. you could construct a different projection that made that straight line appear straight (though other straight lines would thereby be distorted instead). latitude lines are not straight lines, and never have been, except the equator.

maybe it’s to distinguish from all the other funky shaped tortilla chips you can get these days? like, there’s ones that are little strips, or whole round tiny tortillas, or weird little bowl shapes.

i don’t even understand what you think ‘straight’ and ‘curved’ even mean at this point.

of course the shortest distance is a straight line, that’s literally the definition of a straight line.

thanks for the heads up and the link!

if you think it’s all likely to fall apart soon, file asap if you’re expecting to get money back, but put it off as long as possible if you’re gonna have to pay them more. if the government is going down, might as well get your piece of it while you can.

to cite one example, just last night i happened to watch the episode “I Second That Emotion”. in this, bender is so upset that others are paying attention to nibbler instead of him at nibbler’s birthday party that he makes a big cake with his own name in huge letters, and when nibbler eats it before everyone else can see it and recognize how great bender is, he flushes nibbler down the toilet.

fun fact: the blind spot is because our optical sensors are installed backwards and that hole is so the optic nerve can pass back through the back of the eye to the brain. some other critters with independently evolved vision systems, such as cephalopods, avoided this particular evolutionary pitfall.

take a bit from the outer perimeter, rotate the zza slightly, then take another bite. repeat until you’ve spiral-noshed the whole thing

according to this list, nobody has gotten a billion from a lottery, yet. but sure, i guess that is the way to get rich, without having to exploit others. i also feel like i ought to point out that i never accused anyone of being evil geniuses, just evil.

edit: fixed link

i think super rich people do fucked up shit because:

1. that’s the only way you become mega-rich, and
2. they want more

if i already have ‘infinite’ money, why would i want more, and since i’m getting this via magic or something, there’s no incentive to be evil in order to become or remain mega-rich. in short, yeah, i reckon i’d be alright, and we’d all be better off in the long run.
