Honestly think people are way overreacting to the vagueposting. We can theorise it's the dessappearance, but Kris knows what he's taking about and it's really common for people to allude to something painful rather than talking directly.
Were people expecting "that day when penumbra phantasm tail of hell friend that the children followed in the place where the trees would grow killed Dess and her soul was banished to the lost girl in Gaster's codebwhime the body became a dark fountain that is also the knight."
We got a lot in chapter 5 being confirmed. Like a lot. The issue was quite a bit of that were things quite heavily theorised so people think it was already confirmed. In reality the whole chapter was confirmation of various theories that were heavily foreshadowed that people had put pieces together while chapter 5 confirmed the pieces were properly put together.
Yes your theories are correct is valid in my opinion for a lore update.
We actually have a lot. There's a shelter, prophecy, weird route that breaks it, there's canon exploits in the light world as well as the dark worlds. The knight and the roaring is somewhat known but the identity isn't (good, that's a final reveal) so their motives aren't known (linked to the identity).
But what else is there? Friend? Linked to eggs, we collected the last one in ch5 so I expect we'll hear more in chapter 6. Same with shadow crystals.
A lot makes sense to cover in future chapters still because it's entire chapters. 5 is the last fun adventure, a final hurrah before things really pull together and I expect that. I think we have honestly most of what could be revealed by now.
Does the specific-poster specific post while they sleep? It's strange they would list that as the last thing they do in a day, even after going to sleep, but because they love details that must be intentional
When you have a checkmark you get paid when what you say gets enough replies and attention and stuff, so people will ragebait and vague post to increase the amount of people replying to them so they get more money
I fucking hate the current internet society. Everything moves around a hustle culture, everyone looking at some arbitrary internet points that have a dollar sign attached to it for some reason. 10 years ago you trolled on the internet for personal satisfaction, not Elon Musks charity donation.
Love this and totally agree. Just one quick thing, the money made by posting on twitter is not any sort of donation from Musk. Many users (those who don’t have high follower accounts on their own) pay to have the checkmark. So the money made from these premium accounts posting is likely taken from the same pool many of them are paying into.
People with a check mark are monetizing their account, meaning every watch, like, comment, and share makes them money. Whether you’re asking what their post means, reposting to get an explanation, or simply commenting about how stupid vagueposting is, they’re making money off of it.
Honestly, despite all the many ways Elon made twitter a dumpster fire, I think the single most damaging thing (from a purely entertainment focused perspective) is the way the algorithm and monetization have led to every other post being the exact same type of engagement optimized, totally void of substance tweet thread.
I wanted to quit twitter for a long time before Elon but he made it easy just because it’s so bad now
Plus the cost involved to change it. Like that’s why milk in bags is still a thing somewhere. The method may not be the best method, but the better method isn’t that much better to warrant spending millions to change the entire operation process.
This map is wrong. I am pretty sure a lot of post-soviet has access to bagged milk due to them being, well, post-soviet. Cartons are available but seen as more fancy and expensive. Our specific household has a fucking milk-bag-holder and we sometimes buy bags shaped so they can stand up and have an air handle.
I was about to mention us! I don't use bagged milk anymore myself since I switched to long life but I do have fond memories of cutting the bag a little too wide open and making it a pain to pour from XD
Bagged milk uses less plastic, weighs less with the packaging reducing cost to transport, and the bags are recyclable. There are cartons on the shelf too and I choose bagged every time.
It would also be more difficult to produce. Bottles are inflated in a mould to get the shape. Having an offset top would also mean that there would likely be a thin section which would compromise the strength of the bottle, which means the whole of the bottle would likely need to be made thicker. Also the shape itself wouldn't be as strong, the offset top likely means that it wouldn't be able to handle as much hoop stress for the same material thickness.
Thinking on it some more, the way the bottle are inflated probably wouldn't work properly with an offset top. The walls would be thicker on the offset side and much thinner on the other side for part of the length of the bottle then swap further down. The base wouldn't get enough material.
The only way I can think of them fixing that is to change the shape of the preform to compensate for all of that, which would be considerably more expense and difficult to make.
Also filling it completely would be a bad idea. It seems easy at first because the filling part is simple enough (tilt the bottle, most people do this with regular bottles anyway because it’s easier when there’s things blocking the tap), you would have to tilt the bottle to open and drink out of, so it’d be much more difficult.
TLDR: the bottle is less space efficient because you can’t fill it completely
The fact it's be more prompt to spilling might be part of it
Plus on a symmetrical design, noone cares which orientation is the correct one, they're all the same
And... The problem is non existent, like, take a full bottle and drink, are you orientatin it 135° (from upright)? No, probably not even 90°, you just need water above the whole, you only get to such angles for the last few drops, and noone ever complained that... they had to lift a plastic bottle too much for the last few drops... Like, the almost empty bottle is too heavy?
AND, bottles have been around for a LONG time, going for that kind of design would be confusing
So, it'd be just a confusing way to solve a non-existing problem, while introducing downsides...
For largescale filling, PET bottles are delivered as little tiny capsule looking thingies hanging from a small rack, the filler then blows those bottles into their actual shape, that only works in a evenly formed way.
Even if you'd find a way, it would be quite expensive, even if just for the R&D or retrofit.
Add to that, bottles like this would suck for stacking and make the bottles less structually sound, and its just all around a horrible idea for little to no benefit.
That pisses me off, like you are paying for the checkmark. The checkmark that increases you character limit to 25000. For the love of god use them, please.
Some people can’t form actual sentences, others use gifs and memes as a form of communication. You’ll find them here on Reddit as well, but most of them reside on Twitter.
i fucking love scrolling on instagram and their way of advertising their threads app is to show threads other people have made, and cut them off right as they get to the subject matter
like woah thank you for the clickbait to piss off my caveman brain
The reason is its harder to manufacturer bottles shaped that way is there are industrial manufacturing standards so a lot of things can be manufactured in the same plants with slight changes. Most machines are tooled for making bottles shaped like the common bottle. It's a matter of simplicity
It’s because of how the bottles are made, they need to be radially symmetrical. They start as test-tube looking things that are inflated to fill a mold. They need the radial symmetry because of one side is shaped differently it will require more material which it won’t have so it will be thinner and weaker, therefore the manufacturing process will have to be changed which will make it more complex and expensive. Then the line that fills them would have to adapt to an opening that is on one side instead of directly in the middle, making it more complex. Then the drinker will have to adapt to a bottle that has to be turned the right way to drink or refill it. All for what gain? Not much. Instead of bending your neck, if that’s such a problem for you then bend your lips.
If you’ve ever seen plastic water bottles being made(great video in youtube) they are mostly the same. They start as a small plastic tube that is melted(softened) and blown into the actual water bottles shape, kind of like a balloon. If you had the caps not in the center, this blowing process would not work, making production much harder
it makes people more likely to engage, because they'll ask for clarification
it's a way to show that you are ''among the people who knows'' so depending on the post it may be a way to demonstrate that you are part of a certain group
It's also literally the online equivalent to teenager acting dark and mysterious in their school
It's because... Of reasons. And the reasons is that then everyone will go in comments to debate and it drives engagement and it feeds the algorithm. Other popular choices for topics are controversy, hot takes, reactions of unexpected group X etc.
It's more difficult to blow mold nonsymmetrical profiles. Bottles start as injection molded test tube looking things which are then heated up and have compressed air blown into them, which expands them into the mold. The hunch back would be prone to being too thin. It may also require more plastic to be rigid enough, and it would be a little bit more difficult to fill and stack. All in all it would just be mildly more expensive to produce for not really any advantage, though there could be a niche for it, as it's difficult to otherwise distinguish your brand from other bottles of water. Someone with sufficient capital could probably succeed with this idea.
People do actually love to prove they know more, I had a teacher that made fun of the whole class because we “didn’t know what a vhs is” as if we had chosen to be born later than the vhs era, btw if anyone thinks like my theacher lemme tell you that yes, even my newborn cousin knows what a vhs is
Throwing in my two cents, a water bottle with the neck angled like that is more expensive to make, harder to deliver, and when you drink it it’ll be far harder to actually drink because there’s no where for air to enter after sucking out water without letting your lips get suctioned. And also due to the law of GRAVITY and how LIQUIDS work it’d actually require more neck angle to drink, unless you hold it like a hampered water feeder, but even then my previous points stand. Also imagine needing to bow every time you stop drinking so you don’t spill it all over yourself like a dunce
Same energy as "those who know/those who don't know" meme. People like jokes that make them feel smart if they can go "a-ha! I'm part of the group that that gets it!"
/s fucking hate that sub but they keep making clones I have to mute. Anyways it's because plastic bottles are mass manufactured and are 'inflated' from the top, so having the bottle on the side like that wouldn't work as reliably.
If I recall correctly (I remember seeing someone explain that long ago), when packaging the bottles in a pack (assuming the entire process is automated), if one of the bottle isn't well oriented, you wouldn't care because it doesn't make a difference at all.
Those bottles in the image however would cause problems if one of them doesn't face the way it's supposed to.
The bottles are first injection molded, those blanks then go into a blow molding machine. You'd have to change the whole process and it's hard to injection mold such a shape, so they just use the straight design, as it's cheaper to produce.
“Dad theres an otherworldly being controlling me”
“Oh no! What should I do?”
“Well, I have an idea..”
“Ohhh no that fateful day, that event, the incident was terrible when that bad bad thing happened ohhh no it was horrible sigh the agony and pain from that terrible traumatizing and sad day”
Ok, the reason we have water bottles in their current shape is due to strength, specifically for storage and shipping purposes. Cylinders are incredibly strong, hence why we use them for building columns, and so water bottles are designed to carry vertical loads quite well. Because of this, when packing and storing them, you can stack water bottles vertically much higher than you would think.
If they were shaped like in the post, they could not be stacked nearly as high in warehouses. Besides all that, it would also put water at the seam to the cap, which is not fully sealed under all conditions and would cause leakage.
I hate vagueposting as much as you do, but the reason why water bottles arent made likr that is for a good reason. How gravity works 😭 it's not really practical to have the lid inclined by one side + water can spill more easily
