But also: what if Thanos himself got snapped out, along with the power glove (because for some reason it turned their clothes into dust, too)? The heroes would have been fucked, right? It’s been a minute since I saw the movies but IIRC, they used the time stone to go back in time. But what if the stone was gone because it was part of Thanos’ attire? He himself used the stones to destroy the stones, so there is probably a timeline where he got snapped away with everyone else, destroying the stones in the process.

It might not be possible, since the stones were also performing the action, and Thanos didn't want to destroy the stones while snapping everyone in half. Otherwise, they might just self-destruct by going for the nearest target first (Thanos), and stop there, not fulfilling the desired action. You'd have to destroy/scatter them separately.

I don't think that they used the time stone to go back in time, since it was destroyed when they got there. They had to get it from the past, since a decent part of the movie surrounded that.

½?

Yes, it's that thing what 4-chan hackers known as Anonymous use, isn't it?

It does make more sense if you consider that it is part of a line of Hedgehog genes, all of which make Fruit fly embryos look like hedgehogs (spiky) if they're inactivated.

They didn't just go "Let's name a gene with bad outcomes if mutant in humans after a video game character! Yipee! Hooray!", at least not for that.

Though they did name SHH's inhibitor Robotnikin.

A SHH mutation is generally not considered compatible with life. So it's less the kids who'd find out, and more the parents.

It's particularly bad now that it's forcibly embedded into every computer, and at the forefront.

You can't hit Win-C by mistake any more, since Windows will instead open a window to "chat with friends and family" by trying to install Teams. (Which makes it particularly bad on my end is that the install broke, so it will randomly pop up later with "Cannot install teams at the moment. Please try again later.")

And never try to deal with dates and timezones.

Or anything that looks like dates.

Gene scientists had to revise their whole naming scheme because Excel would see MARCH1 (Membrane-Associated Ring-CH-Finger Type 1), and 'helpfully' convert it into a date, rendering it useless (since it uses timestamps on the backend).

It's bad enough that my data science course recommended against opening CSV files in Excel, because it would edit the file to do the conversion, even before you explicitly saving, mangling your data before you could process it.

It isn't over nothing, though. Allergen information was missing.

Sure, it seems silly in this case, but not enforcing it also leaves wiggle-room that you really don't want for food labelling, otherwise companies could just start leaving stuff out of it because it's "obvious".

No-one with a nut allergy wants to be unexpectedly landed in the morgue because the company didn't put "contains cashews" in the label for their satay, since it's obvious, as nearly every satay sauce on the market contains cashews.

Though little compares to the seeming magic that is pirahna solution obliterating a chicken drumstick. It's just gone.

Why is this ad weirdly sexually charged?

You can turn it off, but the fact that you have to go into the settings and toddle about is ridiculous.

It's a notepad, why does it even need settings to twiddle?

Enterprise would riot if they did.

They might do it later, but as it stands, this isn't the old notepad, and gets used by a good bit more than just Enterprise users, so they can stick their AI into it.
