Alcohol, still allowed to advertise every where
Actually alcohol advertising is pretty limited in Europe due to EU wide regulations and some countries have even stricter rules, ranging from "not in public spaces" to straight up "no alcohol advertising at all"
Also I would point out alcohol is a big cusine thing and has been for centuries and you're nuts if you're upset schnapps are a thing but not strawberry cigarettes. Also like, flavoured vapes totally exist?
The closest thing to what you're talking about is grafting, but that's a specific thing that only works on certain species and I don't think can "glue" two entire halves of a tree back together, maybe just a branch at the most if you're very careful and lucky
It's why if you plant a seed from a random apple from the supermarket, you're very probably not going to get a tree that produces that apple. Most commerical fruit trees (including ones from your local garden centre) tend to have a bottom half that's hardy and resistant, and then a top half which was "glued" on that actually provides the fruit you want. The bottom half controls the genetic material in the seed, but the top half controls what the fruit will look like.
On the other hand, you can totally glue a snapped cactus back together, provided it hasn't been too long and the two halves aren't too damaged.
...now? Bud, they've done this for ages, both on mobile and desktop how the hell have you not noticed it? It used to be even more obvious on desktop because they'd put it up as the first item in the 'related videos', but they got rid of that so now you don't know what it's going to start autoplaying until it happens, which is mildly annoying when you're listening to music and can't see what's up next
Congratulations you're now a snake
It's not a dedicated game and idk if servers even run these anymore, but the original popular "battle royal" was minecraft hunger games servers and they did kinda run like that - no stats obviously, but throwing you empty into a bounded world where you'd have to survive and craft and kill monsters and each other. I think some of them might've even had like your sponsor drops where you'd get potions or enchanted stuff
I want a modern difficult farming Sim with an in depth relationship mechanic and no fucking combat. The old harvest moon games are good, but I've kinda played them to death and for some idiotic reason they removed stuff like rival marriages from the remakes. Rune factory has combat, and so does stardew valley (in addition to having a relationship mechanic that's just, really shallow), and it seems like all the farming Sim games that don't have combat are like baby's first farm Sim and are all cutesy and aren't very difficult
Like it feels like this would be an easy thing to do, right?
There's the sonic racing series which has a few ports on PC. I haven't played them on PC, but I've played them on the switch and they're pretty Mario kart-ish both in playstyle and mascot racer charm.
Also you can play as The Heavy.
Read the article and then the actual paper's abstract - this isn't like a mind controlled thing guys, it's controlled with your foot. Not quite a doc oc thing like the article makes it out to be
... I'm making a reference/joke to a specific book, written by the same guy who's responsible for the "imagine Sisyphus happy" quote, where the main character does go "fuck doing chores they suck"
I feel like whoever translated Lem's sillier works definitely deserves a massive hand because oh my god there is so much wordplay like this and it all carries over to english really well. Like all the drug names and made up words and Tarantoga's entire three page long ramble about 'futuology'/predictive etymology which I guess had to be entirely rewritten in order to work in English in The Futurlogical Congress
I don't think we've had a single good adaption of an Isaac Asimov story - Foundation the show is very clearly not Foundation the series and I Robot is...not even worth acknowledging and infuriates me because like, if they wanted to do a murder mystery about Asimov's robots and call into question his "laws", Caves of Steel is right there and it's great. I'd love a good adaption of Caves of Steel but nooo lets all adapt the nigh impossible to adapt because it's dense as all fuck Foundation instead because that's the story everyone knows.
Also because you've mentioned kids media - How to Train your Dragon. The original series was this fun and interesting world where dragons have existed along humanity since the beginning and were our friends and work animals and the main character was a legitimately weak kid who was more interested in being a biologist and was legitimately pretty good at it, being able to actually talk to them and he had friends and Toothless was this highly entertaining small sassy green thing who was like, the world's equivalent of a house sparrow. And then DreamWorks took the title and base concept of "dragons and vikings" and threw everything else out for a generic movie with a generic protangonist in a generic fantasy setting. The dragons are now big and scary but the main character goes out to prove that they're not big and scary and Toothless is now just a giant dumb cat who's the world's equivalent of an invisible fire breathing polar bear but it's ok because Hiccup is special and they replaced the fun gremlin Kamikazi with the generic female love interest character who's trait is being better than the boys. But because everyone adores it we're never going to get an actual adaption that actually follows the books are we?
Also Solaris deserves a good adaption that isn't actively hostile to anyone who isn't interested in avant garde Soviet cinema. Stanislav Lem's one of my favourite authors and because of that fucking film it's legitimately hard to recomend Solaris the book to people because they're like "oh I tried watching it and it was really boring and confusing and overly arthouse?"
Also also I haven't actually seen them but like, is there any adaption of Wuthering Heights that's actually like, accurate? Because I've read the book and every time I talk to someone who's only seen the movie or TV adaptions it feels like they're talking about a completely different story that's just like, "Austen but kinda deranged" and not the batshit anti-Austen sturm und drang trainwreck that is the actual story (and also they apparently kinda ignore the last third of the book with Cathy 2 and Linton and Hareton?)
You can put mad Infront of all the cunts that don't have adjectives already to make them even more extreme.
"This mad cunt" for when your mate's done something really out there while "mad dog cunt" is real fucking bad for example
