The worst of the worst gets on the internet. Even here on Lemmy I’ve seen trolls post brutal videos of murder and torture every once in a while. That kind of stuff lives on niche channels and overflows to the mainstream every once in a while.

In the early internet I once saw a cute young woman in athletic gear (Adidas I think) walking in a park, then stepping on top of a bench. Then starts pulling down her pants and begins to squat. The camera zooms at her cute bottom, then like 15 seconds later a long column of poop starts flowing, and keeps flowing, pauses, and keeps flowing and flowing to make an impossible small mountain of poop. She then grabs a few napkins from somewhere and wipes, then pulls up her pants up her bottom and simply walks away, leaving behind a gross mound of human waste for someone else to clean up.

Newer heat pumps are awesome. Northeast USA, with EcoEr brand. Two winters now close to single digits but rarely below freezing and it works like a charm. Mine is rated to operate to -40f. They had to wire it up for single heat source mode, by default they were wired for secondary heat source on the older models. Humidifier module can be added for winter comfort, my neighbor has that. Not sure what the cost tradeoff vs gas is, but it is definitely way cheaper than oil, which is what we replaced. What I like the most about it is that I can wave my two middle fingers at the oil industry and say hello to solar energy.

Summer cooling feels like Arctic cold, and comes with built in dehumidifier for comfort. It definitely works harder to heat in winter than cooling in the summer.

There are mini splits which require less construction, lower cost, with good cooling, but winter heat operating temp stops near 30f.

There’s lots of options out there depending on where you live , budget, needs.

Good luck !

There are two movies in there

Thank you for posting this. That was one of my favorite games growing up, I thought I was the only one left who remembered it. That mechanic was genius, switching between both parallel worlds and making changes that affected both so that both stories could progress. It must have been conceptualized by a student of physics who wanted to hold and feel the multiple parallel universe theory. That game alone had to have inspired its generation into science.

Better than movies, read Phillip k dick stories. So many of them became movies. Minority Report (2002) was a decent adaptation. Paycheck is truly great story, but terrible movie. A Little Something For Us Temponauts has not been ruined by hollywood yet. Its a really good time travel story.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008) Really good Terminator universe tv series. Such a shame it was not continued.
