Mostly because you don't run into them, so you would never know if you're allergic or not.

Like a lot of people that are allergic to housecats are also allergic to lions, but how are they ever going to find out about that?

It was going to be bad, people tested it by setting the clocks forward on test versions of important systems. But because they tested it, they knew how to fix it to prevent everything from going crazy.

Y2K only turned out fine because we spent years fixing it ahead of time. If somehow we had totally missed it until it happened it would have been really bad.

We'll probably have a few years notice for this as well, so it will probably also be not a huge deal.

We don't actually know that it disappears during the shift. That's just an old speculation that doesn't actually have any evidence in the fossil records.

It was originally like a napkin/handkerchief. You would use it for cleaning things. Then they started making them fancier, then they got too fancy to use for that.

So they used to serve a purpose, but now they're just for aesthetics.

We don't really know since it's never happened yet since we invented electricity.

It's most likely not going to be that big a deal.

Maybe shut down flights for a few days/weeks? Maybe some minor temporary issues with satellites.

The next big solar flare, now that's going to cause some problems. The one in 1859 would shut down half the globe if it happened now.

My wife has a thin wallet attached to her phone case.

>I’ve never felt romantic attraction and I’d like to experience it one day. Could this be possible, or is it just science fiction?

That's more likely to be altered with chemicals rather than surgery.

It's also possible you have felt it but weren't able to recognize or label the emotion properly. That's also common.

You can have heart problems from too much energy drinks.

Yeah. The phrasing doesn't work as well as the original joke.

>Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own. One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong.

>"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked.

>"Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?"

>"Oh, Bill, you didn't."

>"Yes, I did."

> "My God, Bill, what happened?"

> "I got fired."

>"No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?"

>"Oh...she got fired too."

It's a variation of an older joke. The implication is that "tomato slicer" is a job position.

I hope not. Most people aren't fireproof.

Sci-fi/Fantasy is by far the majority.

VRChat is already sorta mainstream.

It won't get anymore mainstream than that until VR as a whole is more popular.

When people rebuild Gameboys, the electronics is basically the only part people keep. Everything else gets replaced.

Sometimes there's big differences, or just seeing it from a different perspective.

I even like Novelizations.

Dyscalculia according to Wikipedia.

Isn't dyslexic an issue with reading? Some of them are fine with numbers.

Dyscalculia is the one where you mix up numbers.

Tradition. There are better colors possible, but now these ones are the ones everyone is used to and there's no way it would be possible to change all the lights at once, and it would cause a lot of accidents to have only some changed.

The "lore" for that name is that a piece got stuck in Adams throat.

Part of the appeal of urban fantasy is the idea that it could be real. Not necessarily that exact story, but the whole concept of "what if there really is a hidden magical world?" Even things like Chronicles of Narnia/Wizard of Oz/Alice in Wonderland/Isekai fit into that. The idea that it could happen.

It seems to be purely practice and addiction. Nothing specific to alcohol.

Practice. I can drink that much soda easily. My wife can drink that much Arnold Palmer, but neither of us ever have alcohol.

A bunch of different reasons. Sometimes the director/writer/whoever wants to put their own spin on it, sometimes for pacing reasons, sometimes it just wouldn't work well.

Only if it's something simple, like you could compress an incredibly large blank white image down really tiny. And then you could edit the zip file to say there's actually a million of them in there.

But for the most part that's not going to work as well.
