This wouldn’t need the larger containers/pipes though (where the guy’s hand is). The narrower pipes used as barrels and piezo igniters would be sufficient for this. The tanks made of wide pipes are used for holding the flamable gas & air mix that is then ignited by the piezo sparks.
So because you don't understand which feelings this almost blind ugly little meatbag in that photo represents, there will be those who do and who will share the joy, making the world a little less depressing as fuck. Which is a benefit. But of course,. because you can't understand that, no one possibly can.
Lemmy really hates people posting baby pictures. Because a newborn can’t give consent. We all look like the same weird alien meatvblobs anyway when we come out, it’s not like it’s somehow identifiable. But can’t consent. I’m a bit surprised Lemmy isn’t anti-abortion for this reason.
In fact in some jurisdictions, are minors even allowed to give such consent? If no, then you would have to remove all pictures of anyone younger than adulthood from the internet.
For child actors, presumably it is the parents who give permission to the producers to use their child’s image. So any tv show, movie or commercial with kids should also be wrong for that reason.
That minors can’t consent to anything, even when supported by a consenting guardian, is pretty extreme, but I kinda agree with most of what you say here.
In that they’re both photos surrounding the birth of a baby. Something that most people experiencing view as a precious and fleeting time they’d like to have nice pictures of.
A friend of mine has a baby and he’s certainly in that joy category. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me because it was essential for the survival of the species, but I’m still surprised that people like babies. Kids can be cute when they’re old enough to talk and use the toilet, and even then they’re only cute if they’re the charming kids-say-the-darnest-things sort and not the tantrum-throwing sort. Meanwhile puppies and kittens are cute from the moment they’re born.
(Why do humans babies make such horrible sounds when they need something? A puppy whimpering makes me want to give it whatever it’s asking for. A baby crying makes me angry. I suppose the crying is harder to simply ignore.)
I had to do a lot for my dog that could be considered gross in an abstract sense but it never bothered me much. I suppose that was because he was my cute dog and not just because he was a cute dog, but being a cute dog certainly helped. It’s notable that I did not feel that same way about my little sister when I was 11 and she was born. She’s a great person now but I didn’t like helping take care of her even though I didn’t have to do it much; I think that’s a big reason why I don’t have my own children.
What is it with these people that write these dumb make belief stories? Are they in it for the easy money? Are they in it for the attention? Is it the lulz?
What motivates people to create obvious bad fiction and the try to sell it as real?
There are lots of genuinely interesting mysteries, some of which suggest fantastic things, but this kind of stuff is just taking all the fantastic parts and mushing them together without caring about, well, anything really.
That last image is just pure insanity. People thinking like that are not able to care for themselves and should be placed in a care home, sorry. I see no difference between people like this and drug abusers that have gotten to the point where they can’t keep themselves alive anymore, they need professional help.
