if the Hunger Games were real you know you'd have liberals saying things like "it's so cool how the Hunger Games allow anybody a chance to win, it's so democratic" and "it's great to have some District 12 representation amongst the winners of the Hunger Games" and "we need to make sure that young girls receive just as much Hunger Games combat training as young boys #feminism"

Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Got reminded of the old cartoon Freakazoid. Now I am thinking about Candle Jack. If you say his name, Candle Jack will appear and grab you so you disappear and you-

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?
If I had a Death Note I'd use the death control rules to try to make entertaining scenarios. I'd list seven different world-destroying billionaires under "burns to death on a livestream on a mega yacht" and set it for the maximum allowed time of death after writing and see if the Death Note can create a livestreamed billionaire yacht party that goes horribly wrong in one month.
I would also cause so much collateral damage. The rules specify that you can't peripherally kill others with the Note, but they say nothing about listing deaths as "AI server farm explosion" or "military drone factory collapse"
#eventually it would do that one joke that goes#a bunch of billionaires wind up on a cruise ship and it starts sinking. one of them starts praying:#god I have done some terrible shit but there's so many people here! they are innocent surely you can't let them all drown#and then a voice from heaven replies: oh fuck no. do you have any idea how much work it took to get ALL OF YOU FUCKERS up here?
One fantastic thing about the Death Note is (I don't recall this explanation in the anime, but it was explicitly explained in the manga) you can't use it to peripherally kill people. Only the person you name and picture dies. Otherwise Light could try to kill targets whose names he doesn't know by finding the names of those close to them and writing in murder-suicides or whatever. So if you kill five billionaires in a yacht fire that otherwise wouldn't have happened, the serving staff etc. will survive their fated lifespan. (The remaining lifespan thing has always been pretty awkward re: causality; we know that using the Death Note to kill people does change the lifespan of others via its influence on the world so one would imagine that it should shorten other lifespans and not being able to shorten them to a near-immediate death seems arbitrary, but let's not poke at that fabric lest we start wearing pot holes into it.)
So far as I'm aware, there's no provisions for causing other consequences to people, though; this plan might risk severely burning staff members, or get some of them arrested if the Note uses them to deliberately cause the fire that they wouldn't have otherwise lit. But one can always go for a non-fire option, or have the billionaires drunkenly take a sailboat out with no staff, or whatever.
I haven't watched or read Death Note, but I did look up the rules established by the series as I've also wondered about how clever one could be.
In the particular case of "A, B and C die in a fiery yacht explosion", if the yacht explosion would kill other people, they'd just die of heart attacks instead. If one of them was piloting the yacht and their death would cause the yacht to kill somebody else, they'll die of a heart attack at the soonest point after the scheduled time of death such that their death won't be the proximate cause of somebody else's death. (Can deaths caused by the Death Note cause collateral damage short of death? Maybe, but I suspect invoking them in the death condition would either result in those conditions being ignored, or the victim dying of a heart attack instead: it's a Death Note, not a Fractured Arm Note.)
(Pulling back from the billionaire example: a surgeon won't die in the middle of surgery if this would kill the patient, but it's permitted that somebody might die sooner as the result of the surgeon no longer being available to operate on them. Curiously, Shinigami will see the indirect victim's lifespan as it would have been had the surgeon not died.)
I feel that the rules on disease are illustrative of the limits of the Death Note:
"X will die of COVID in 10 days" will result in them contracting COVID and dying in 10 days.
"X will die of lung cancer in 10 days" will result in them dying of a heart attack in 10 days, unless they already have a case of lung cancer that could reasonably kill them.
"X will die of lung cancer" (with no time specified) will cause them to get a case of aggressive lung cancer, which will kill them as soon as it realistically can, even if that time is outside of the typical 23 day window the Death Note operates in.
There are also rules indicating that the conditions of death must be physically possible, and reasonably carried out by that human. This prevents deaths like "X explodes into a swarm of kittens" and "X dies while reentering Earth's atmosphere" (unless e.g. X is an astronaut).
While not explicitly stated, I suspect:
If you indicate that somebody is killed by a falling meteor, the Death Note will strive to get them into a position where a meteor of sufficient size was going to fall anyway. It's not going to violate conservation of mass to summon one into existence, nor conservation of energy to shove one towards Earth. If there's no viable meteor candidate reachable under normal circumstances: heart attack.
You might be able to specify another person as an agent of an accidental death, but you can't use the Death Note to force somebody to become a murderer unless they were already inclined to murder the victim: the Death Note will provide opportunity, but not motive or inclination. (This is heavily inferred from a rule stating that "all humans are thought to posses the potential to commit suicide".)
Expanding on the above, the fact that the Death Note can manipulate plausible accidents to happen indicates that it must be capable of influencing the behaviour of people other than the one listed in the Death Note, but I suspect that influence is minimal. Influence over the named victim is greater, but still has limits: nobody will hijack a plane just to make it to their appointed time and place of death.
On the feasibility of an "AI server farm explosion", you'd need a reasonable way for the server farm to explode (gas leak?), a means for the victim to be inside, and a high likelihood that nobody else is present at the time.
---
My recipe for causing chaos with a Death Note would be to have a lot of "accidental" deaths at the hands of various second-in-commands. Sure, pushing their boss down the stairs was an accident, but good luck convincing the rest of the world of that when they're the immediate beneficiary of their boss's death! This will help preemptively erode the power of the victim's replacement (also probably a shitty human being), and also sew paranoia amongst the victim's peers.
It's worth noting that the "control a person to do something they would reasonably do" rule is VERY loose. Light kills someone via suicide and people note that the suicide was extremely out of character for her and a suspicious reaction to her fiance's death. He kills a few prisoners and has them write notes on their prison walls before death that contain a coded message to L that the prisoners are unaware of; the messages themselves (which are about being frightened of Kira) are grammatically consistent and things that the prisoners could reasonably write, but they have no idea what the coded message is. On the other hand, having them straightup write something that they wouldn't naturally write like "I know that L is suspicious of the Japanese police" (when the prisoners have no reason to say this and no idea what the L/police situation is) does not work.
At one point, Light kills an FBI agent via an extremely elaborate prewritten death that involves the agent (unknowingly) writing the name of his superior in the Death Note and causing that superior, immediately before his death, to send all FBI agents on the case a file containing information about all the other agents, so that he can kill them. Sending that file is absolutely not something that the leader of the operation would do without magical coercion, but it is technically possible and does fall within the 'could reasonably do' rules, despite presumably being wildly out of character. The death has to be physically possible, but you can manipulate the victim a lot to make it happen.
#death note#see this is just tumblr making a different death note I want to also read#(positive)#I liked the og death note but tumblr has a different secret one
Tumblr's Death Note is "what if literally anyone who wasn't the pampered and narrow-minded teenaged son of a cop got it"
Well, if I had a Death Note, I'd use it to have Charlie Kirk get shot in the neck while he's defending gun violence.
Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.
This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.
