Is that a reddit-ism? Isn’t it more just pop culture that exists equally both on and off of Reddit?

Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.

This is the underlying plot of plenty of movies. The prevailing solution is to find something other than each other to be our unifying enemy.

Conclusion: Hopefully we get attacked by aliens or something.

It’d be cheaper alright, but not for the passengers.

The default view for communities is Local, which will only show communities on your instance. Given you’re on lemmy.world, that’s a considerable number, but if you click ‘All’ at the top of the communities page, you’ll also see communities outside of your instance (but again only ones that your instance knows about, which amounts to any that someone from your instance has subscribed to). Again, you’re on LW, so this is a significant percentage.

If this is a niche that doesn’t exist currently (or you can’t find a place for it), you could create such a community.

Ooh, this is rad - thanks for the link!

Pretty easy to find, just search the title.

Meta will suffer “immediate and irreparable loss” in the absence of an emergency relief

Well, I didn’t know nor care about this book before, but now I want to read it.

Discounts for loyalty members is the same thing as higher prices for the general public.

I generally agree with you, but I think it’d be very difficult to legislate this. (For example, if you ban “discounts” for loyalty program members, they instead offer “rebates” which functionally is the same effect. If you ban “rebates”, they instead send you a coupon for your next visit after you shop.)

If the advertised price is what a non-loyalty-program shopper pays, I have less of a problem with it, but what gets me is when the item is listed as, for example, “2 for $3” on the shelf, and at the register rings up for $3.69 each unless you swipe a loyalty card. Fuck that shit.

I really hate this shit and honestly I feel like it should be illegal. Like, offer discounts for the loyalty program members, sure, whatever, but the price on the shelf when you pick up the item should not be able to have contingencies attached.

The organ? Or did the church you visited have something else?

You’d do very well on a few game shows, too!

This certainly seems like the best out of these options. Start a gravel company. Infinite stock. If you can just create it out of nothing at the location of your choosing, you don’t even have to pay for trucks, which I imagine is probably a greater cost in the gravel industry than the gravel itself.

Great idea!

Good idea - get ahead of the problem. I like it. Make sure to take extensive notes and leave them somewhere you can access at any time.

The problem with this is that if you’re using anything ‘non-standard’, you have to devise this system during your 7 days, and then you have to include in your message enough information to figure the system out anew when the loop resets. You’ve got to be specific enough that next-loop you will definitely figure out the exact same system, or you might mis-interpret your message and if you lose the information that you’re in a loop, you’re fucked.

Basically my point is, you’re wasting prime time that could be spent on some enjoyable activity in each loop. Unless solving your own puzzle is enjoyable, in which case, you do you - you can spend eternity living in your own Memento-inspired personal mystery, if you want to.

How much time are you spending devising this system? Because you’re going to have to devise the system anew each week, unless you also store instructions for deciding on a system in the file.

How do you store what killed you? Theoretically you can’t edit the log once you die (you’d just start the new loop, with no memory of what killed you).

More importantly, why do you want to escape? This hypothetical time loop sounds awesome.

You can fit quite a lot of plain text in 1kb; it’s really just a 1024 character message. What you’d want to store would really be dependent on how the day went, but starting with “You are in a time loop. It resets every week on Monday at 6AM” would probably be sufficient to get things rolling; that’s only 61B.

I’d just add information that helped me have the best 7 days possible - really just a schedule of things to do. Did I read a really good book? Note that down, read it every week, enjoy that time. Did I play a great game? Same thing. Once I found 7 days worth of activities that were maximally enjoyable, I’d be happy to just stay in that time loop forever; the memory reset is really a blessing, not a curse.

I don’t feel compelled to answer questions that don’t apply to me or which were not directed at me, so I don’t know.
