Tetris. IIRC there are some very positive studies backing it. There is even something called the "Tetris Effect" (not the game).

Huh, that’s interesting. I’m not deaf, but I don’t make any sound except loud sudden exhale. Besides ADHD I am neurologically normal, if that matters.

Edit: My dad sneezes turbo loud, btw.

It would add an element of uncertainty and mutation.

Sure, but a computer can never give you a truly random number, it always has to calculate it from something. But, to be fair, we can’t be certain that humans can either.

The only thing that can be said for sure is that the human brain uses both electricity and chemical reactions and seems to be capable of randomness, while the AI runs purely on electricity/code and isn’t capable of randomness.

We don’t know what consciousness is and we don’t even know what life is so anything beyond this is pure speculation.

PS: Some of the answers here are demonstrably wrong, but I have learned not to get into arguments online anymore, it’s better for your sanity.

I don’t think there should be a death penalty, for pretty much the exact same reasons. You can’t un-kill people as necromancy isn’t a thing… yet. However I am not above getting angry and venting by writing a slightly edgy comment.

Mostly no, especially in big cities, because I would be broke in 30 minutes. If someone tells me they need it for something reasonable and specific and I believe them, maybe, honestly it depends on my mood as well as I am obviously flawed, just like everyone. Also I live paycheck to paycheck myself.

Edit: Thanks btw.

I once saw a guy searching through the trash for “Pfand” Bottles (German recycling system) that are worth 25 cents. He didn’t ask me for anything, so I gave him 5€.

PS: I could tell that he was genuinely grateful (or at least a great actor) and I had that gut feeling that he is a good guy.

This is the type of shit that makes me question my stance on the death penalty.

Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.

Women’s pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.

Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.

Stardew Valley

C418’s music (Minecraft vol. Alpha & Beta)

“Secunda” from the Skyrim OST

“Schala’s Theme” from Chrono Trigger

Some songs of the Hotline Miami soundtrack

Not from a game, but absolutely fantastic:

“Promises” by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders 🪦 and the London Symphony Orchestra

Oh and almost forgot: Til A Mermaid Drags You Under by Mary Lattimore is a must listen, just trust me on this one and don’t skim through it.

English: Spaghettification (being ripped/stretched apart extremely violently)

Oh and almost forgot: Yeet is an actual word now, so that as well.

German: Zeitgeist (so well known you’ve probably heard it already [“spirit of the times”])

Programming languages: print(“lol, lmao even.”);

I jokingly say “who did/was that?” when it was obviously me. For example: After a fart that I announced before.

For Proton it is the “tech bro”-y feeling and for Signal it is wondering about financing. Also, if you are paying for your own audits there is an obvious conflict of interest.

Max Cooper - Spike (The best benchmark I’ve ever heard)

If I want to impress people I play Mountains (Interstellar) by Hans Zimmer.

Very interesting insights. Funnily I use all of the services you cautiously recommend, including GrapheneOS, but not HarmonyOS, hard pass on that one. As a German I am also legally required to prefer Tuta. :) I still have that OG 1€/Month contract.

Edit: Your last point is a good idea, although I think the more popular an open source app is, the less likely it is to be malicious. A lot more eyes on it and the xz backdoor was caught pretty much immediately.

Edit: I misread your question.

Online: Pretty much any prank and/or challenge resulting in death or permanent injury.

IRL: Some old guy in the hospital bed next to me refusing to be treated by an African immigrant nurse, calling her slurs. (He might have had dementia, but still)

I have this bad gut feeling about Signal and Proton, I have no evidence tho.

Must have been one of those fanatic atheists again, right? They are evil and probably worship Satan. /s

First reaction was actually “oh no” 😅
