American flags everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE. I get a bit of national pride but holy crap, every other house in the street is flying a flag, clothing has flag patterns, bumper sticker American flag, it's everywhere. And no, it wasn't even close to July 4.
It's like Americans are afraid they might forget what country they're in if they aren't in sight of a flag at all times.
Yes, the bomb travelled forward in time at one minute per minute
What if they just had an entire zoo where every animal was just a dog with dyed fur
Strange how Google became the default search engine back in the day because they were so good at filtering out the dumb websites that just spam search terms all over the page.
They've regressed and become Yahoo
Every other version of Windows. It's practically a law of nature at this point.
Many birth defects are rare, and require 2 copies of a defective gene to show up. Most "normal" people will be carrying a few defective genes (out of thousands of pairs), but are fine because they have a good copy still working.
Family members tend to have similar genes.
The chances of you and a family member having the SAME defective gene are massively greater than you and some random stranger.
Thus any child would also have a massively greater chance of inheriting 2 identical copies of the defect.

do Reddit admins think they have any kind of search function without using Google and site:reddit.com?
because it's easier.
You have one "frame" where you just do everything: read the player input, do whatever actions, calculate collisions and physics and whatever, and draw everything when all those calculations are done.
Then you move on to the next frame and do everything again. Everything lines up all the time and always happen in the same order. Simple, quick, and consistent.
To decouple calculations and framerate, you don't know when the game will try to draw something. It might be in the middle of when you're calculating collisions, or moving the units, or calculating physics. Or you might end up doing multiple calculations while the GPU is slow and can't draw anything.
So you have to add an extra layer in between, probably saved to some memory somewhere. Now every time the GPU draws something, it has to access that memory. Every time you calculate something, you also access that memory. Let's hope they DON'T try to read and write on the same spot at the same time, that could cause bugs. And so much memory access, you've basically doubled your memory bandwidth requirements.
It's complicated, more resource intensive, and introduces potential bugs.
or else what? They'll bring in paid moderators to do an actual job?

Hollywood will not take any risks.
The only actors are the reanimated corpses of Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, Samuel L Jackson, Tom Hanks, and Harrison Ford, all de-aged back to life with VFX.
The only films are Fast 43, Avengers vs The Spider-Verse XIV, Indiana Jones 22, Star Wars Episode XXI: Revenge of the Return, Toy Story 25, Avatar 5, and The Lion King: The Animation of The Broadway production of the Re-animated Live Action: 3D Extended Edition.
MBAs walk into this arena thinking they've got their quarterly agile reports synergized outside the box to the max.
Somehow none of them have learned the concept of long term customers
