  • I recall that the movie attempts to fill this plot hole by saying that the aliens were leaving the planet but that the injured, sick, or otherwise weakened aliens were left behind. I think the one holding the boy in the final confrontation was perhaps the same one that lost a digit when the protagonist was using a knife to see it’s reflection through the door gap when it was locked in a pantry.

    I also recall the man in the car who was leaving that home with the pantry saying “btw we locked one of those things in the pantry, I think something was wrong with it. k bye”

    I don’t know how much of this I made up.





  • I don’t think you understand the theory at all considering that the central concept of defining any system as chaotic is that the tiniest imperceptible change of initial conditions leads to an unpredictable product.

    If you think the strength of the butterfly wing is insufficient for this theory to map to reality then you have missed the point entirely of why a butterfly was chosen as the example to describe this theory.








  • This doesn’t make any sense. The dad’s response can’t come first because it’s supposed to be a response to her saying “I’m dying” and him comedically misinterpreting it.

    But her response can’t come first because she already identifies him as dad which makes his introduction as dad not make sense, and also because she asks him to stop as if he already made his joke.

    It’s as if the text is dropping us in after the setup just so we can laugh at the punchline but then they also have her respond to the punchline with a reference to the setup in case we didn’t get it. But anyone who doesn’t get the joke (because it’s a reference to a joke, not a joke) isn’t going to get the joke from this little dialogue because it doesn’t even make sense as a dialogue.

    It can still cut into profits even if it isn’t scalable to being a full solution and it is still worth it for consumers even if it can’t be worth it for every consumer.

    All this can still be true even if “lab grow all meats. problem solved” is not true (or at least not possible, even if it is a logically valid construction).




  • I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

    It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.

    You can’t act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don’t see. If you’re being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

    In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It’s as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.
