Exactly!

You go straight from “no wine glass” to drinking via capillary action using spaghetti?? Dude, have some class and drink out of a measuring cup or small sauce pan first at least.

RIP Roy, we never knew you were so suicidal.

You’d need to explain how they’re evil. We use them as a resource, as food, as an oxygen source, as shade, as animal habitat and food… even if they had “evil” intentions I don’t see what they would have been or how it wood have played out.

You’d think they’d be looking for non-organic options. Go full cybernetic, shed their mortal, diseased bodies entirely.

A quick search tells me this have to do with shear forces. Sound would be entirely compressive, so those material properties would have no effect, or at least not change due to sound levels.

“Sudden” doesn’t matter. “Loud” does.

I don’t see how anything non-Newtonian would be better against sudden sounds. In fact it would be worse, as they’d get more solid and thereby transmit MORE of the noise you’re trying to block out. Or maybe they only get more rigid but their sound transmission properties don’t change at all. Either way, sounds somewhat pointless.

The only way I can think that something like this would work would be to have a molded vacuum chamber as an ear plug, with a specifically engineered sound transmission bridge inside. With too much energy trying to go through, it would break. But I doubt it would be quick enough to be effective, and they’d also be one time use, and extremely fragile.

Aw crap, I’m not an IQ I’m an ENFJ. ;(

Some people pay good money for a solid debonking.

Or a handful of dead squirrels, I’m sure.

Yes, I can read. And see where it’s posted.

Doesn’t mean I can’t debunk a theoretical argument.

I don’t have to chop, stew, dismember, or sell a $5 bill. False equivalency argument.

8 per night? Good Lord no, it’s 8 PER HOUR. They’re literally lining up to jump into your mouth. Check your toothbrush for legs and silk. Usually a sore throat just means one bit you on the way down.

Weasel to ferret to mink.

Your body IS being constantly pressurized by the atmosphere, and your various sphincters are used to that. Presuming the suit doesn’t pressurize your body beyond what it’s used to (at which point breathing would be difficult), there should be no unexpected anal excretions due to the suit.

In a city with no prominent industry, people will always needs healthcare, childcare, food, and maintenance on their belongings.

Healthcare: doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, dentist, dental hygienist. Skin and hair care might be stretching the category, but everyone needs haircuts.

Childcare: teacher, ECE, nanny. Big spectrum here from no training required to professionally registered.

Food: production, supply, distribution, and sales. So farmer (but that’s capital intensive), food maker (baker, chef, cook, butcher) or distributor or seller.

Maintenance: vehicles (tires, oil changes, body shop, parts, detailing), homes (carpenter, painter, gas tech, electrician, window installer, roofer, landscaper), appliances (appliance technician), power equipment (mechanic, blade sharpening).

Probably more, but that should be a pretty decent list to start with, and all should be pretty portable no matter where you go, save for certain licenses that may be specific to a state or province.

Returneth thy cart.

Don’t go into a Starbucks.

For many reasons, but you certainly won’t like the pricing there either.

Cost.

Brown doesn’t exist. It’s deep orange.

OMG please do! LOL
