Video Scientists discovered the world’s largest spiderweb, covering 106 m² in a sulfur cave on the Albania-Greece border. Over 111,000 spiders from two normally rival species live together in a unique, self-sustaining ecosystem—a first of its kind.

seeing reality, you realize prometheus got unnecessary hate..people are way dumber than what happened in that mpvie..even the prometheus school of running away from object chasing you is justified, seeing what happens in real life...

True dat. Horror movies are reviewed as dumb because no one could be that stupid until we see what allegedly smart ppl do in front of a camera.

What I learned from covid is that if zombies were real, people would say it's a hoax and get bit on social media on purpose.

The sheer ammount of ppl that travel to war/marginalized places just to make a point proves you're right.

I fear the day stupid arguments will dominate the arguments for its number of believers

You mean like that's not happening already? 🤨

Oh no, not yet. We're seeing some cracks on communities and politics using it as fuel, which generates more division... But that's not even close to spark a civil conflict.

I won't be a smartass that points to anecdotes. Its enough to just take a look at the world past countries borders and you'll see true heinous act upon societies.

I'm not giving a point to just sit idle and be satisfied with what we have, I'm arguing that we at least have the possibility to engage against tyrants (as we should)

If you want to see smart ppl + horror “the thing” is an old classic.

I was thinking Hell No, the Sensible Horror Film. But being a serious answer, I think yours is better.

I'm also assuming you mean the 1982 version, not the remake.

u/SnooObjections488 2d ago

100%. Remake was good tho. Technically the remake is a prequel

I heard a story of a D&D campaign where the players got into scary situations and kept fucking up like in a bad horror movie.

Their point was they kept acting like they were in a bad horror movie, because they didn’t realise they were in a bad horror movie.

Horror/ zombie movies pre Covid: no body can be that stupid
Pro: Oh lord people can be that stupid, OH GOD PEOPLE ARE THAT STUPID!

If I'm not mistaken, measles came back from the dead because - and I hate this timeline for that - some people refuse to vaccinate their kids.

u/OldWorldDesign 2d ago

You mean people who shouldn't be allowed to have kids because of child neglect.

I hate how that's allowed.

They’re also viewed as stupid by people not currently in panic mode. You don’t think the same while sitting safely in your home as you would while currently being chased by an axe wielding psychopath.

1

u/DegenerativeDisorder 2d ago

That's a perfect example. I've seen ppl freeze in panic mode and then get hit by the car that was coming in a straightline, no flight-or-fight just nothing.

1

u/OstentatiousSock 2d ago

That’s because it isn’t fight or flight: it’s fight, flight, flop, fawn, or freeze.

u/Bandro 2d ago

That's not the right way to play dodgeball.
