Tyler sounds like a horrible person.

Also, if they can sell it for 6 cents a bottle, presumably still receiving a profit, how much does it cost to produce?

About 2/3ds of a 3d world child labourer

Occasionally they'll sell products for a loss, just so that someone will take them away and the bottom line will be less of a loss than if they'd not sold anything and had to pay to dispose of the entirety of the stock.

The UN banned nukes...

But no nuclear powers signed it, rendering the entire declaration pointless aside from non-proliferation.

Shows how inept the UN is. Bad idea anyways, if there were no nukes we would get WW3.

Yeah because nukes have stopped nuclear powers being belligerent to one another.

The adage goes nobody knows what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

You miss the point of the declaration. Nukes can be as much a liability to a nation as a benefit - that's why South Africa and Ukraine dispensed with theirs, and why Israel insists upon the absurd claim of opacity. Nations with them have to play by a different book than those without, and those rules are not always as advantageous as you might think.

The non-nuclear nations enact something like this to increase the distance between themselves and a potential nuclear war, as well as military intervention by the nuclear powers on the classic fiction of a "rogue nuclear program".

They did stop open war though. Without nukes the Cold War would have definitely turned into WW3.

Fair enough, I may have misunderstood it.

WW3 was fought with developing nations.
Wait this is the laugh thread

I almost posted the following earlier but was distracted by the Phoenix Wright parody (that was worth the build-up, by the way, and while I recognized the first inspiration (yeah yeah, from Rick & Morty) the rest were new to me and quite something).

Eurogamer's Johnny cooks a Sunless Sea/Fallen London recipe:  Zzoup.
The thing is that Zzoup is described as a weird thing only Devils enjoy, and the recipe is... fairly unusual.  I'm actually kinda excited that a dev gave him the official recipe, which is a closely-guarded secret of Hell in-game.  And he does eat some at the end, Ashens-style!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On recommendation I'm going to try making a version of it myself, though fuck buying truffle oil.  Also I'm a little disappointed they didn't go for the lowbrow joke with "hanged" man's tears.

also wait, where are the devils getting pork stock in the Neath.  ...Is it long pork?  What truly happens at the end of the train line to Hell?
or are they cutting bits off the stone pigs ehehe

[KittyTac]

Yeah you get what I meant. I'd rather we have proxy wars than confrontations between major powers what would kill tens of times more.

I very much enjoyed the Ace Attorney quoteathon.

That is... brilliant.  An experience worthy of "Thanks, I hate it!"
(I wonder if I missed a pun on the word "check" but it let me through anyway)

And that is exactly what I said to the friend who passed it on, LOL

[Arx]

I wish I'd had this when I was teaching UI/UX design last year, wow. This is great.

[delphonso]

This is a masterwork, honestly.

They can just give another reason for a military intervention (see:Syria), and you don't have the nukes to dissuade them.

That's why you start a rogue nuclear program after voting for the resolution.
