I like the idea that it's all in their heads, and since she didn't tell the blind lantern about it, he'll just never have an issue with it.

Man, has it really been that loving long? I really just meant in a serendipitous sense though; like just by random coincidence, the lantern who inducted him being lazy and irresponsible wound up saving him from having to deal with a boatload of "I can't do anything to yellow stuff!" bullshit.

Google says 974 million twitter accounts right now, but yeah, I'm just being facetious. I'm mostly curious about the context, because right now it looks like the kind of thing you'd find on the old Superdickery site.

I think the idea is that this is several generations later. Gen A made the robots, so Gen B didn't have to do as much, and got lazier, Gen C was even worse, etc etc.
Why learn or make effort, when the robots do it for you? These are just giant man-infants at this point.

It's still kind of silly. I mean, if you took away the need to work now, people wouldn't stop being active; the stereotype might be that the US is made up of nothing but lazy fatasses, but people are still trying to be active; sports are still one of the most popular ways for people to pass the time with friends, and a lot of people would jump at the chance to replace their 8 hours behind a desk with 8 hours of light exercise if given the opportunity.

I mean how many pages and pages of arguments do we have in this forum about who Superman is or isn't as a character and how he's supposed to be this idealized version of humanity and in the entire Silver Age he was basically a huge rear end in a top hat and everyone is like "YES YES MORE MORE".

You know, you could probably trace Silver Age Superman back to the old trickster god myths

Yeah, and as has been shown, flour is still a fantastically bad idea for that. What you want to use for a kitchen fire is salt or baking powder.

goatface posted:

It might work if the flour was densely enough packed, flour in a cloud is a lot more dangerous than flour in a clump.

I'm almost tempted to try it out and see what happens. I don't think I know anybody with the PPE though, none of the chemists I know work with kabooms.

It would probably work fine 99/100 times. But that 100th time? DON'T loving DO IT.

They both require being able to do something so fast that someone moving faster than you can see not realize what you're doing and compensate, but I'll at least grant that coating the ground in teflon is a little more plausible from the perspective of "maybe he wouldn't realize what was happening."
