oh yeah, i know!

but there’s like 5 planets in factorio…there’s upwards of 16 entire solar systems in DSP ;)

excellent stellaris reference! ;)

it’s basically factorio, but it allows 3D belt placement and interplanetary/interstellar transports!

it’s excellent!

excellent, that was very helpful! thanks!

thank you, that’s exactly what i wanted to know!

don’t wanna fight, but i do want some clarification:

were they actually warm blooded, or that pseudo warm blooded thing some reptiles and fish do where they aren’t exactly warm ir cold blooded, but kinda in-between?

you’re arguing government action with a user that hails from “@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org”.

i don’t foresee a fruitful discussion, mate…

that’s the important caveat:

it does NOT work on everyone, but that’s irrelevant.

if it works on even 1% of people, but has zero effect on everyone else, companies would still use it everywhere anyways.

a 1% difference over even just a couple thousand customers adds up over time.

so, no, it doesn’t work on everyone, and it doesn’t have to.

it just has to work on some people, and not deter any more people than it works on.

if anyone wonders when it does and does not work: like most of these psych-tricks the effect mostly disappears when you point it out to people or otherwise make them actively think about what they’re buying.

same for the change-the-layout-of-the-store-all-the-time thing: doesn’t work on all people, doesn’t have to.

pretty sure because there’s a bunch of amateur porn communities, and people generally stop posting pics of themselves if they get downvoted.

so, since downvotes literally kill those communities, they added the ability to not display downvotes.

my only gripe with this is, that it’s apparently an instance-wide toggle, which is a bit inconvenient…
