  • You’re not getting burned alive but its hot enough that you’re constantly sweaty.

    The demons don’t actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.

    You’re not there for eternity, it’s just really difficult to leave.

    You don’t eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

    Shit I think I just described San Francisco.




  • You know what’s more crazy. Electrons don’t flow at the speed of light through a wire. Current is like Newtons Cradle, you push one electron in on one side and another bounces out on the other side, that happens at almost light speed. But individual electrons only travel at roughly 1cm per second trough a wire.












  • I think there’s a way simpler economic reason. If you have an ensemble of actors, the more scenes they have the more you have to pay. So killing them of one by one is an easy way for a studio to save money (let’s not forget, the US has an Union for their actors). Also we live in the age of sequels so having only a minimal cast transfer between movies means way less contract renegotiations. At least I think it started that way and then just grew into a cultural school of filmmaking in Hollywood. It just became the way you do things.

    It might also be an artifact of the popularity of slasher movies from the early 2000s’ where the whole point was to kill characters.
