... or come to think of it. Could you even complete it? I recall you kissed the princess and then it restarted again, like so many arcade games. But I could be wrong. It was so many years ago now.
Has anyone here ever completed Ghost and Goblins or its hellish kid brother Ghouls and Ghosts? Or even had the patience to make it through the second, or first stage?
Arcade vesion: I'm sure someone has, possibly, perhaps. Not me tho. I got past the graveyard, jumped over the little moving swamp squares (and fell down and died more often then not). A few times I defeated the first "boss" and got into the next zone. I never got past that. This all in all probably cost more then a new game does for any home system. But even tho it sucked hard in that regard, completion wise, I never really minded it since I always enjoyed playing real arcades.
Home system version (Spectrum, C64, Amiga): Yes. But only thru cheating and massive amounts of cursing!
mmmm
That is the thing; All things can't be replaced while some can. You made some fine examples of things that most likely can't be replaced. Lets not totally rule it out tho, a solution could possibly be found even tho it looks unlikely at the moment. But in a potential shortage you have to prioritize; make IV kits or make condoms. I'd rather spend that oil then making IV kits.
We also most likely waste A LOT of plastic; like do we actually need to wrap every single item, in some cases two or three layers; first the outer box, then a bag inside the box and then individual per item inside the bag inside the box inside the plastic shrink wrap.
Do they really need to shrink wrap my newspapers (or every magazine on the planet for that matter). Sure they get wet if it rains, annoying but hardly the end of the world.
I'm sure one could figure out a lot of waste that might be convenient now but really not needed. That is the plastic you could then use to make things we actually do need.
So instead making condoms out of oil they'll start to (ok they already are) make them out of animal intestines again. Instead of using plast boxes we'll start to use glass containers. Some things will probably be a lot harder to replace tho but it's not the end of the world. Possibly the end of the world as we know it, but then that should have happened quite a few times already durring human civilization.
Don't people like him get sent to "Club Fed" and not your standard drop the soap prison.
Grub! I am your father!
... and the bulk of the once that do create something create nothing of lasting worth, most likely.
It might very well slam on the breaks, but the car won't and can't alter the laws of physics. Deceleration takes time so you might still get run over. I don't see how they could possibly prevent something like your scenario. Unless they make the speed limit 1 km/h or whatever speed you can more or less instantly stop at without causing harm or death.
Zero divided by anything is infinity
Perhaps in bizzarro-world it is, but here in our universe zero divided by anything is still zero.
Example; zero cookies divided among 5 people is
Do they taste like chicken?
According to them it was probably the entire world, since the rest was just barbarians.
Not really. The only thing Sweden learned was that it's hard to try and conquere half of Europe when you don't have the population required to sustain an army large enough for it. The country might be "large" in size but it's quite small in population. If Sweden had been smart they should have stopped with Norway, Finland, the baltics, northern Poland and northern Germany, but apparently that wasn't enough. That plus they made the mother of all misstakes; a winter war vs Russia. The "empire" just went downhill after that. Winter wars vs Russia just never ends well and yet every other European power tried it to afterwards and failed just as horribly.
Beyond lots of other reasons such as the state of the roman empire at that time or our current godlike technology (compared to them) there might be a slight issue of logistics here, conquering the world on foot/horse vs parking the fifth fleet outside someones country.
Not so sure, there is always the "what the heck is this thing
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
