Tetris. IIRC there are some very positive studies backing it. There is even something called the "Tetris Effect" (not the game).

It would add an element of uncertainty and mutation.

Sure, but a computer can never give you a truly random number, it always has to calculate it from something. But, to be fair, we can't be certain that humans can either.

The only thing that can be said for sure is that the human brain uses both electricity and chemical reactions and seems to be capable of randomness, while the AI runs purely on electricity/code and isn't capable of randomness.

We don't know what consciousness is and we don't even know what life is so anything beyond this is pure speculation.

PS: Some of the answers here are demonstrably wrong, but I have learned not to get into arguments online anymore, it's better for your sanity.

I don't think there should be a death penalty, for pretty much the exact same reasons. You can't un-kill people as necromancy isn't a thing... yet. However I am not above getting angry and venting by writing a slightly edgy comment.

Mostly no, especially in big cities, because I would be broke in 30 minutes. If someone tells me they need it for something reasonable and specific and I believe them, maybe, honestly it depends on my mood as well as I am obviously flawed, just like everyone. Also I live paycheck to paycheck myself.

Edit: Thanks btw.

I once saw a guy searching through the trash for "Pfand" Bottles (German recycling system) that are worth 25 cents. He didn't ask me for anything, so I gave him 5€.

PS: I could tell that he was genuinely grateful (or at least a great actor) and I had that gut feeling that he is a good guy.

This is the type of shit that makes me question my stance on the death penalty.

Batshit insane conspiracy theories are pushed to discredit all conspiracy theories with actual evidence.


Women's pants have small pockets on purpose to increase handbag sales.


Surveillance of the general public is much, much worse than people believe and the view of being considered weird and paranoid is deliberately encouraged.

Stardew Valley

C418's music (Minecraft vol. Alpha & Beta)

"Secunda" from the Skyrim OST

"Schala's Theme" from Chrono Trigger

Some songs of the Hotline Miami soundtrack

Not from a game, but absolutely fantastic:

"Promises" by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders 🪦 and the London Symphony Orchestra

Oh and almost forgot: Til A Mermaid Drags You Under by Mary Lattimore is a must listen, just trust me on this one and don't skim through it.

Max Cooper - Spike (The best benchmark I've ever heard)

If I want to impress people I play Mountains (Interstellar) by Hans Zimmer.

Edit: I misread your question.

~~Online: Pretty much any prank and/or challenge resulting in death or permanent injury.~~

~~IRL: Some old guy in the hospital bed next to me refusing to be treated by an African immigrant nurse, calling her slurs. (He might have had dementia, but still)~~

 

For me it was "Your mom looks like Gimli from Lord of the Rings.". My best friend took a few seconds to process what I just said to him and then started crying laughing. Good times. I think it was the deadpan delivery that killed him.

First of all: DO NOT LINK, AND DO NOT SEARCH FOR IT

It was a dashcam video, that didnt really show any gore, you could just see something (a brick?) flying through the windshield and hitting the person (the drivers wife?) in the passenger seat. I had seen gore videos before, but this one traumatised me forever. The gut wrenching drivers scream fucked me up and made me feel physically sick, I immediately knew it was 100% real. You could be the greatest actor of all time, but you'd never be able to copy that and I never watched these types of videos again.

 

For those who don't know: It's a subreddit where Europeans shit-talk other European countries and could be considered racist.
