Ask Lemmy

They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting "we'll tell you if you can get that dumpster open"?

Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual "sale" and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.

Lotteries are a tax on hope, not stupidity.

I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There's nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don't exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.

There is value in static hardware so you can perform specific optimizations and target framerate. The subscriptions are 100% bullshit though.

New PC graphics cards alone cost as much as entire games consoles. The top end ones cost the same as multiple PS5s. That's why consoles exist.

You are underestimating the importance of standards here. On a PC you will always only get a fraction of the hardware's power, because there's way more stuff running at the same time, not just the game, and because the developers can't know exactly what hardware configuration every single gamer has. On a console you can know exactly how much RAM you will have available, so you can design your content to use that amount of data and then stream it into memory that you reserve at the start. If you do that on a PC you may ask for more RAM than the PC has or you may leave RAM unused. Or you can try to optimize the game for different specs, which costs time and money, so you won't get the same results with the same budget.

Egg carton that says "Contains Egss", like yeah, I sure hope so

I hate to be "that guy" but in theee cases, it just makes more sense to have some extraneous labeling rather than have special clauses in the regulation dictating when it's obvious enough that the label can be omitted.

Keeping the rules as simple as possible reduces the chances of loopholes and ambiguity, at the expense of sometimes resulting in things like a jar of peanut butter stating "contains peanuts" on the label.
