“Wow, so you think SLAVERY is OKAY and we should DO SLAVERY??”

In two years on this utterly grassless threadiverse I don’t think I’ve said this yet:

Touch grass.

Yeah, but can we ask a phrenologist for a second opinion?

Silver, when they talk about me in the future, make sure my name is something cool, like “Jessica Grimdark”.

Or Blaze?

Yes! The coolest name in the world!

Note the weird artifact in front of their left shoulder.

Edit: Note also how fucking unnaturally buoyant the floatation device is.

Specifically, look at her left eye.

I work on PCSX2 in a small capacity. They’re not my cup of tea, and I feel like they actively hamper a first or second or possibly even third playthrough. However, I’ve had some modest enjoyment adding them to games I beat 50 times over in the PS2’s heyday just to have a better sense of permanence, to see if I’m good enough for the harder-ish challenges of dedicated fans, and to (ideally) see cute puns/references in the achievement names.

I think achievements are actively bad for a first playthrough and only, in that capacity, serve to turn games into a checklist simulator that cynically exploits dopamine pathways. But I also won’t nag the people who do use them for first playthroughs, even though I think they’d holistically enjoy them more without.

On the whole, RetroAchievements clearly breathe new life into games for a ton of people, and I’ve got no problem with that.

Also, the people who develop the RA infrastructure are really cool from what I’ve heard and seen.

More like Sonyphus.

Jesus fuckin’ christ, Christofuh, get off the drugs and quit castin’ aspersions! Gabagool.

Reasonable to assume (given this decision to run takes place over like two seconds) that Indy suspects that the boulder could block him in if he ducks under it (spoiler: it would).

Edit: Full scene for anyone who forgot exactly how the sequence plays out. This was a 100% reasonable move by Indy.

What they weren’t telling you is that it’s one study from the 1990s in rats, then in another comment they just throw in “granted it’s in rats” like that doesn’t make all the difference in the world.

Yes, because it’s a single study on rats from the 1990s. When we’re talking about the health effects in humans and you show up talking about a “direct link to cancer”, any reasonable reader – because again, “humans aren’t rats” – would believe you’re talking about a direct link to cancer in humans.

“Alcohol has been directly linked to literally being dissolved alive.”

“Really?”

“Well in bacteria, yes.”

You know, generally it’s implied you mean “in humans” when we’re talking about… the health effects in humans.

“People aren’t rats”, to quote a “no-fucking-shit” passage from the article that I hope is obvious to you too.

They’re wrong. Please see my comment. There are potential other problems with dyes (the main one that’s more concerning is risk of ADHD), but their statement about cancer is horseshit – not because it’s impossible they cause cancer but because “directly linked and have been for years” is not supported by science in 2026.

Good for you for looking out for your kid. ❤️

This is misinformation. The evidence is so tenuous that the link may as well not exist. Other problems perhaps, but not this one – at least it’s certainly not well-studied enough to go throwing around “directly linked to cancer and have been for years.”

Please have some level of compunction about throwing serious medical claims around.

“Hey, hasn’t it been about 10 seconds since I got stuck in the lemon tree?”

Categorically, yes, but that doesn’t change the US needing to get these dyes out of its foods yesterday. Within the health catastrophe Trump, RFK Jr., their followers, etc. are creating, I’ll gladly take and ride this one point we can apparently all agree on that these dyes serve no good purpose and need to go.

Edit: And I wouldn’t even stipulate “if you eat it regularly”. It’s enriched with a token amount of Vitamins and minerals of course, but that’s practically a participation trophy for cereals (seriously, the micronutrient profile is fucking pathetic); everything else about it is utter trash, and it’s terrible for you from the jump.

Edit 2: That said, the comment below about cancer link is misinformation in that the science currently does not support said link.

And then wipe off the scissors because they still got this shit all over their cutting edges.

How many more times is Lemmy going to recycle this shitty Futurism ragebait article about a stupid marketing gimmick?
