It’s called a skeuomorph, and many times the camera symbol is one too, as most modern cameras don’t look like that.

What do you mean? The sun gets chased away every night, though I think that gets outsourced to Sköll, a wolf.

Sounds painful with a high possibility of breaking bones then drowning while conscious. I’d recommend an inert gas that’s not CO2 and readily available, like nitrogen or something (CO2 buildup in the blood is what gives the sensation of suffocation). If you’re worried about people finding you and a mess, get an enema and stay a bit dehydrated first, and also ensure your body’s found within the first 2-3 days if possible (the first thing your corpse does is shit itself, and rot sets in pretty quickly).

This of course presumes you’re making the decision to end yourself while of sound mind, not in some panic, feeling trapped or completely hopeless. There’s usually a way out that’s not as permanent and can lead to future positive interactions that make continued living worth the pain. That said, I’ll never judge someone whose pain outweighs their will to live.

37 is my favorite, because 3x7x37=777 (three sevens), and I think that’s neat.

Just use ISO 8601, it’s pretty much designed for this.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw once:

Unlike you jaded pessimists I still have the ability to feel optimistic about something even after a lifetime of disappointment. And you know why? Because I’m stupid.

Very good point, my bad.

The only other fast way to fight it is with violence, but without clear national unity and already decent leadership it usually results in some form of autocracy, making the situation worse.

Edit: violent revolution* usually doesn’t work, but violence itself can be rather effective

At least the Joker pays his taxes.

Most of the time I don’t even write, I type or use swipe-to-text.

I believe it’s 32 bytes, but it depends on the AP, some use a null terminator as the final byte.

Maybe Danny Phantom should be more open to the possibility of traumatized ghosts.

And at least in the US ADD is no longer a thing and hasn’t been for a while, having been subsumed into the ADHD diagnosis, which can be inattentive, hyperactive, or combined.

Wouldn’t algae be the most efficient at oxygen production? You’d still need about 1000L of water for the algae (assuming a 1L:1g ratio for the algae to thrive), the light source would hopefully be solar or else you’re using a lot of energy (good luck bunker people), and you’d have to have some method of feeding and filtering it (maybe its output can be something else’s input and vice versa?), but it’s a little more doable than 8-12 oaks.

Windows 10 has had that for a few years now too, it was just less visible and a little clunkier.

I think this is the guy, though it might’ve been a flute, not an ocarina, not sure.

They never get the faces right.

I’ve never been a fan of this idea, it doesn’t go far enough and further makes things less symmetric/divisible. I say we use 6-day weeks, 5 weeks per month, 12 months per year, and an inter-calary holiday week of 5-6 days. A six day week means 4 days working, 2 days rest, and that can be staggered more easily/equitably assuming work needs full coverage in a week. We start the new year on the Spring Equinox because it’s generally more pleasant.

For bonus points, we switch to base-12 (or dozenal) in our numbering system because after the transition it’s a much easier system to deal with as far as division and multiplication is concerned (e.g. 1/4 would be .3 instead of .25, 1/3 is .4 instead of .333…, 1/2 is .6, etc.).
