So… It’s historically accurate? The “heart” symbol doesn’t really look like an actual heart and may have been modelled after a bum or a scrotum. Or the seed of a plant used as a contraceptive.

With the current price of, well, everything, how people afford to buy anything perishable they are not sure to eat within few days and just keep throwing them away?

Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.

Also previously he bought a soft-serve ice cream machine for a while and tried what ingredients would work in it.

Fun fact: US has so weak food counterfeit laws and enforcement it has become the dumping ground for low quality oil or even mixed, making it an allergy hazard. If you haven’t gone out of your way to ensure you are getting the real deal, and paid a premium for it, you probably have never tasted genuine extra virgin olive oil. https://www.mashed.com/281801/the-real-reason-your-olive-oil-is-probably-fake/

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.

Can’t wait an indie developer to go bankrupt because the super secret algorithm counted updates as new installations and the developer gets billed multiple times for their whole player base.

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

Half as Interesting explained how it ended up like this. https://piped.video/watch?v=_Bq-6GeRhys

TL;DW; Amazon tried to offload vetting of the third party vendors to the patent and trademark office by requiring their brands are registered, but the vendors ended up generating nonsense brand names that automatically pass because there are too many applications and the names aren’t obviously going to conflict with existing ones.

Well, the Puritans didn’t escape persecution to Americas, but felt they didn’t have enough freedom to persecute others according to their views and went to find that.

That is exactly what happened with third pound burgers.

That’s the difference, they hoard wealth and not currency. The value of assets do not go down when currency loses its value with inflation.

Wealthy have little to no cash that would lose value with inflation, they just buy everything on credit and have their wealth tied to assets and investments that probably gain value at least at the pace of inflation.

That is also a thing and explains the most vivid ones you only remember when something startles you back to fully awake.

But mostly I meant for me it greatly varies by the situation and what I am trying to imagine.

An apple right now? Five

Millennium Falcon when I’m about to sleep? 1-3

Can I control my imagination enough to go through all the motions of a bolt action rifle reload cycle? No

Yes, I do. A lot. Starting from elementary school when a class mate had a really weird pronunciation of Harry Potter.

Some of my embarrassing memories aren’t even something I did, but something I cringed hard at when I saw or heard it. Sometimes I am so afraid someone else is going to embarrass themself I have to block my ears so I don’t hear it.
