And now you're pretending like you don't actually care, despite going HARD about this earlier, acting like a card carrying eugenicist.

Cry harder, and paste in a couple more emojis ⌚⌚⌚

Hey, that's my job!

Also I don't think that's technically the technical classification. I think that sidedness is an attribute that simply doesnt apply to curves.
\ You can approximate curves with some number of sides, and the approximation gets more accurate as the number approaches infinity, but it doesn't actually have the infinite sides.

I'm not a math major, but I always considered it that a square is a special case of rectangle, a rectangle is a special case of parallelogram, and a parallelogram a special case of a quadrilateral, a quadrilateral a special case of a simple polygon.

This shape isn't a polygon, so it cannot be a square.

You flippantly say, convincing absolutely nobody.

Great job 🤓👍

"I'm not gleeful about disabled people facing challenges" he says as he gleefully mocks people for caring about challenges that disabled people face.

Leave your mom's basement. Touch grass. Talk to a real person.

This is a stupid take and you should feel bad.

The fact you are acting gleeful in response to an image of a completely unnecessary hurdle for people with physical display suggests that you're probably a bad person to be identifying those on high horses.

You didn't explain, you begged the question

There is no way to know that were not constantly dying and being replaced. The experience of continuity may be an illusion because you don't notice that you're only alive for a split second, and replacing the consciousness that was alive a split second before you.

Again, I'm not trying to make the world of cars more realistic. I don't care that they would have evolved differently, that's not something from the movie. I'm not interested in imagining how the movie could have been different.

Cars is a movie where cars are people
\ We are people
\ Cars exist in our world
\ Imagine that's what we were.

There are more reasons to brag and show off than just to seek validation. Their vanity may not be dependent on you.

"that's so sad"

But realistically probably nothing, someone like that isn't going to care enough about what you think to be affected by what you say.

Close, but wrong fluid 😔

Well... Yeah. Duh.

That's what it's for

But trying to extrapolate from nonsense movies is the fun part!

Let me rephrase, I'm not trying to make the world of cars more realistic, I'm trying to imagine "what if we were as relatively fragile as cars are". What if our normal every day activities like walking were as risky to us as driving is to a car.

Hmmm... You're right that cars don't crash as much as people trip. But they still crash a lot

And while if a cheetah trips while running it's fine, if a car crashes at its top speed, it will completely come apart. Heck, if a car crashes at highway speed, it's typically still absolutely destroyed, and highway speed is only gonna be like 1/2 or 1/3 its top speed, so that's the equivalent of jogging.
\ A big part of this is the fragility of cars vs their speed.

That deleted scene is... It's... Well that raises so many questions about their universe. I'm just gonna ignore that part lol.

Specifically just speed, I suppose.
\ Not any of the other perception/durability powers that typically come with it.

And not crazy flash-like super speed, just the speed of a car.

All these eggs and beans, I won't be able to fit into my jeans

Same, it was sad but I'm not gonna use the all anymore due to that decision.

It's been a while, I admit.
\ But the premise is simple enough that you don't really need to remember much of it
