There are over 70 confederate monuments in the state of Florida; none of which are yet painted in rainbow colors.


Yes.


Mildly concerning.


I’ll answer your question with two more questions:
What’s the opposite of a rat king? What’s the opposite of an ant mill?
Also I have to question your whole premise of the relationship between religion and cult. Where a cult is the bad kind of something and a religion is the neutral, default kind.
A religion is just the final form of a successful cult that got big enough and old enough that it no longer needs to take the drastic “cult-like” measures to restrict its members and separate them from society- because it has thoroughly infiltrated and colonizied that society to such an extent that being born into that society is enough.


Bag of little isopod shaped robots. They are fast moving with nuclear batteries and tungsten carbide shells and lots of sharp edges for chewing and burrowing through flesh. They can also dig into the ground a few inches and hibernate like cicadas to protect an area. Not wireless networked but instead have onboard processing for voice commands, use sense of smell for IFF and echolocation to coordinate their swarming.
Couldn’t stop a gun, but they are a deterrent against using it because if you shoot me we both die but you die in a more horrible way.

Worms!
Although I just looked that one up and they have been making new versions of it continuously so I don’t know if it really counts as an old 90s game anymore.





Evey time I can remember having to use that lever it was because of some fuck driving with their 1.21GW LED high-beams on right behind me, and therefore deserving a 🖕, which can conveniently also be used to toggle the mirror… Two birds with one stone. Either that’s not nearly as universal an experience as I’d hoped or all the Lemmy users who like to drive with their brights got triggered being called out- either way my post does not meet the high editorial standards of the showerthoughts community, so deleting it.
