War Thunder community manager issues apology for using explosion from the Challenger disaster in artwork.
  • someone put it their initially

    Yeah... Do you think the people using these packs are the same people putting the packs together? Do you think they sifted through reference pack after reference pack looking for the one that had the challenger explosion? Or do you reckon maybe it's more likely it was an unlabeled picture that the devs didn't recognize at first?

  • Did you think they deliberately went and took a screenshot of the Challenger disaster specifically to use in the game? It was part of an asset pack

  • Stonehenge not visibly damaged by protest paint. It's clean and ready to rock the solstice
  • Any protest that doesn't physically damage buildings owned by the fossil fuel industry aren't going far enough

    This comment is advocating for property damage

  • If it's as non-destructive as the rest of their protests, then I'd have nothing against it

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • Do you really not get the difference between "the chemicals are the same chemicals" and "nuh uh?"

  • I'm ignoring it because you don't really have anything to say besides "we don't know what the health effects of lab grown meat will be" when it's quite literally exactly the same as normal meat. It's like complaints about GMOs. The process of producing it may be different, but the physical material that you consume is literally identical on a chemical level. It's nothing like cigarettes.

  • Wrong. Doctors lied about it for years when it first came out and long after

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Counterblaste_to_Tobacco

    Some doctors may have been wrong, but that doesn't mean nobody knew cigarettes were dangerous. I'll save my time and assume that if you're this unabashedly wrong about this, you're probably as unabashedly wrong about everything else too

  • What's the actual difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell, aside from the fact that cancer cells don't kill themselves? Is cancer from a cow transmissible to humans?

    People knew the effects of tobacco for centuries, actually. But also, it became widely known as soon as it started being widely investigated. I have the same argument about vapes all the time. Within like 2 years cigarettes went from being something prescribed by doctors to something that everyone knows gives you cancer. When something is as heavily scrutinized as vapes or lab-grown meat, you can be damned sure the effects will be widely understood within a couple of decades

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • Millions voted for him? So like, 3% of the country? I'm not surprised you don't see those geezers on here. Personally I see a lot of Biden/Harris bumper stickers in my city. Usually on cars driven by sentient piles of dust

    How many times do I have to leave this comment

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • I wonder if that's because the people who voted for Biden aren't the people using Lemmy

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • I voted for a geriatric socialist who's against the genocide in the 2020 primaries actually

  • The debate gets interesting sometimes
  • I mean the right has already made it clear that they're 100% pro genocide, straight up recommending that every Palestinian is killed. The worst Biden could possibly do is be as bad as Trump.

    (Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

    RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

    Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

    Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

    MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

    FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

    RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

    Without the guide of others I assumed

    That heat was merely added for the sake

    Of expediting this solution's brewing!

    Half a decade I have spent, or more,

    Not questioning this worldview I had made.

    In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

    That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

    Might have a patience of sufficient stock

    To wait until a pot of water boils.

    FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

    The microwave will beep when it is done!

    CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

    Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

    FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

    That I have not the patience, like our Root,

    To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

    CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

    FROG: On what plate?

    Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

    CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

    Of boiling but a single cup alone?

    FROG: In minutes?

    CATS'N: Yes!

    FROG: I counted seven, once.

    CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

    If on a middle heat you place the cup

    You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

    Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

    Or even less, if you should have a pot.

    FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

    You place upon the iron stove a mug?

    A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

    How do these flames, though medium in height,

    Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

    Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

    With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

    (The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

    KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

    must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
