I think it’s an anti-riddle, or a joke, more than anything else.

If this God exists outside time, it would make sense since we may be unable to perceive these perturbations in time - it will just always have been that way.

I think the older generation got used to the stereotype that if people were posting with emojis, they would naturally be making more immature posts (being younger). There are a lot more people from the older generation on the Fediverse.

For an example of this generational gap: you mention that “On Reddit people use emojis a lot” - that genuinely is not the experience on Reddit I had: when I still used Reddit frequently, emojis were treated with the same level of disdain (which both explains and is explained by the condescension around the Emoji Movie).

So you’re signalling that you’re from a certain generation and looking to appeal to people who are similarly from that generation of people who like to use emojis to express themselves. That’s going to attract some people and also going to rub others the wrong way. And that’s fine! Keep using your emojis. You just might want to remember that a lot of the people who hated new Reddit and a lot of the people who left Reddit for Lemmy the first time are/were going to be old-timers (by internet standards), so you might find fewer like-minded people here.

As a last note, your saying you “miss emojis” makes me feel extra old (and I don’t think I’m old at all!): it suggests that the time of emojis has not only eclipsed the internet culture I’m familiar with but has died out also. That’s two eras. It’s fortunate that at this current point in time, it seems like digital cultural eras can pass in weeks.

To be fair if the goal is understanding why, then even things like goods not being substitutable are useful for understanding. The OP wanted to know why, not know how to predict them accurately. The original suggestion to learn economics would teach them that.

They were quoting responses the OP has made to other replies in this post.

Fucks Pez!

They said they spent another hour after launching, though - not sure you can launch without having interacted with the Nomai statue.

Exactly.

On the plus side, maybe this will be a bit more economic incentive for the countries affected not to drag their heels on climate control.

This is how they move in Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, because if the one straight in front of them is blocked, the move is illegal.

And were the over two hundred citizens who died for that policy happy to do so? Again, it’s about a tradeoff, and I’m not going to fault them for the one that keeps Danes alive.

At some point when this attracts the attention of both extremists and Islamic countries, the government has to make a decision about the practical effects this may have on their citizenry.

I don’t blame them at all for feeling like maybe they should bow out of an ideological battle they really don’t have as much of a stake in, nor do I expect the majority of Danes to fight it for me.
