Being wronged isn't a carte blanche. As soon as you introduce violence, suddenly violence actually becomes the measured response against YOU.

am i supposed to ask the robber nicely to give me my stuff back?

So they make the internet worse for poor people? I could get through 20k in a second, but someone with just an old laptop would take a few minutes, no?

Couldn't give less of a fuck, if someone steals from me they're gonna face the consequences

i mean, kinda? you are absolutely right that someone with an old pc might need to wait a few extra seconds, but the speed is ultimately throttled by the browser

adding to this, some sites set the difficulty way higher then others, nerdvpn's invidious and redlib instances take about 5 seconds and some ~20k hashes, while privacyredirect's inatances are almost instant with less then 50 hashes each time

I see them used all the time

Weird, i hardly ever see a normal hyphen, let alone an em dash, but of course it's not a foolproof method to detect ai, just a strong indicator

when it spontaneously degrades, yes, it turns into tame water and healthy oxygen, but when it touches organic matter (your skin, tongue, mouth, etc) the oxygen directly reacts with the carbon atoms to make CO2, effectively "burning" away your tissues very slowly.

Usually, you don't notice that because you use store-bought 3% peroxide, but chemists regularly use the much more powerful 35% peroxide, which gives you nasty burns

peroxide burn

also, fun fact, some cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a waste product, so nature has evolved the catalase enzyme to break it down, and that's why you see bubbling when using it on a scar but not on skin, because that enzyme is only inside you and your blood
