Don't let your engineers get hooked on this drug

E/acc people are slobbering clods. Don’t follow that account. Same as the protonatalism freaks.
- Just tried to look it up. So e/acc is basically AI bros?
  
  Here's people mocking them
  
  Yeah. The ethos is basically "AI will solve everything, so if we just solve AI, we can ignore everything else. AI will even solve the issues with AI, so we shouldn't waste any time solving them first."
  
  Exactly.
  
  Yep.
- What is this meme about? I'm not a developer, so I have no idea. I'm speaking as mod and deciding whether to pull it..
  
  This meme is about Factorio, a fun game that some kinds of people (especially engineers) can get obsessed about.
  I assume someone is commenting not on the meme itself, but on whoever posted it and their "e/acc" affiliation.

I tried it. Looks like a very fun and addictive game that I'm too dumb to play well.
- Realest comment right here. Factorio does not want me to play it. I'd stink it up with my unimaginative, linear thinking.
  
  Everyone starts with a big pile of spaghetti. Refining that spaghetti over years of replays is the way you get good
- If thou stare to deep into the factory the factory stares into you(and consumes you)

What is "one-shotted" in the context of drugs, specifically psychedelics? I.e., why does that term make the person first think of ayuhuasca?
- In the case of drugs, people usually refer to someone being "one shotted" when they experience long term or permanent changes because they took too much, the wrong drug, or just weren't psychologically ready for it.
  
  Thanks, that makes sense
- My guess is they overhaul their life after a trip; realize they hate their job and go do something else.
  Just a guess though
  
  Sounds reasonable, I'll take it!

If you liked Factorio but want cuter characters and less violence, try Oxygen Not Included.
- less violence
  You say that, but if those dupes dont put on the fucking spacesuit again for the millionth time, the colony is going to get some "fresh hires" soon.
  
  Or drop the 800 kg of ice while going up the colony's main ladder just because their shift ended, or dig a block out and decide rather than just stepping down to the floor, that they'll now jump up onto a ledge on the wall and get stuck until they start to piss themselves and/or suffocate?

Nowadays I'd say that applies more to balatro than anything else
