Can you imagine if there was a game that banned players for petting a dog or cat in game?

Not The Onion shockingly, which there's a community for but idk how to link to a community

Catpurple ,

No, it actually is The Onion. It's a Clickhole article. Clickhole is a side website The Onion runs.

kuberoot ,

Isn't that clickhole? AFAIK NotTheOnion is for non-satirical media reporting real news that sound like they came straight from the onion.

Denvil ,

Oh I thought it was for satirical news that wasn't from the onion... so wait the shit I see on there is actual news????

I would have assumed it was modeled after a real whale which actually died.

That was my gtao experience. Me playing a gangster. Notice another player car empty in front of the gun shop. Place explosive on it. Wait hidden that he walk back in the car, and trigger the explosive. Transfered on a server with the bad players...

A_Very_Big_Fan Mod ,

They actually do this? Isn't one of the intended activities tracking down people trying to sell cars and destroy them before they get to the destination???

It was considered bad behavior. It was several years ago. I quickly lost interest after this.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Why? What was the bad player server like? I guess it was everyone being chaotic?

topinambour_rex ,
@topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it was. But it was temporary if I remember well.

Used to visit the natural history museum as a kid. People would go to the museum just to hear the whale's moans of pain as it slowly bled out. It was actually pretty romantic. Definitely one of my favorite exhibits, right after the living t-rex bones and the planets that feel pain.

Wow. So basically don't eat oregano or thyme, unless you grow it yourself.

Yes, ha ha, but Arabic Numerals, with a capital N, refers to ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩ that’s 9 through 0 read left-to-right because Arabic is written right-to-left. While you can see how the West adopted numerals based on Arabic ones eight hundred years ago (thanks to Fibonacci), we only call them Arabic numerals, with a lowercase n, to distinguish them from the Roman numerals we were historically using. Today they aren’t really Arabic anymore, and I don’t know why you’d learn Arabic Numerals unless you were learning to read and write Arabic.

creation7758 ,

Just some random guy who is not particularly educated about the subject here.

I think that's how the Arabs of today depict Arabic numerals. Both are Arabic numerals and there are many other scripts, for instance many variations of brahmic scripts that depict the Arabic numerals using various notations.

So both are Arabic numerals using different notations and adapted to be used alongside their own writing system.

creation7758 ,

Also, just to add, while it is known as Arabic numerals, it originated from India, so it's often also known as the Hindu-Arabic numerals. It's mostly known as Arabic numerals to the west because they came to know the numerology of the system via the Arabs. What makes the numerals is not the symbols, but other characteristics of the system such as the positional notation and the decimal base

lugal ,

The Arabs adopted the numbers from India and refere to them as Indian Numbers. I think the system is therefore sometimes called Indo-Arabic Numbers.

So rather than brahmic using an adaptation of Arabic Numbers, it's the other way around.

Now ask them how they feel about dihydrogen monoxide or women's suffrage.

SuddenDownpour ,

Should the government spend millions of your tax dollars to ensure every single home has uninterrupted supply of clean dihydrogen monoxide?

Why tf is there a no opinion if you don't have one don't vote

JasonDJ ,

You can’t have one without Arabic numerals in the first place.

mogoh ,

People want to see the results, so they would vote anything if there is no "no opinion" option.
