“The more Covid tests you do the more POSITIVES you get! So STOP TESTING PEOPLE!” Trump regime ver. 1.0 “Theres more transgenders because they are being created by the woke leftists!” Trump regime 2.0

Good meme, except the part above is told wrongly for sensationalism. Not even the mil types were dumb enough to think that the fragments from flak ammo (essentially grenades) prefer to land on certain locations in the plane.

Wald did publish a thorough statistical study about mission survivability that included damage locations. Here's a summary (the full paper is quite long): https://people.ucsc.edu/~msmangel/Wald.pdf

allergies seem to be more tied to highly processed food and the way this fucks up our digestive flora. togethr with wuite some other nasty stuff, as even azheimer seems to be tied to it. For like a million of years our rather humanish bodies were pretty much balanced and now we have like 150 years of modern livig that we are NOT adapted for nor is that living catered to our natural needs.

It also has to do with the variety and wide spread origin of ingredients in food, which exposes people to more allergens, that they otherwise would not have come across all at once. Gradual individual exposure does not have the same effect.

I am probably going to get downvoted for this because it stinks of eugenics, but I think it can be mostly attributed to people with previously deadly alergies being much more likely to now survive long enough to have kids. Areas of the world with little access to processed foods are *also* areas with little access to the type of medical care that would save you from anaphylaxis.

The dwarven engineers made the exact opposite of what the study implies..

What if, since this is fantasy, a person can be protected from lethal damage, but not from non lethal damage? So actual normal armor would be counterproductive.

I mean video game logic, right? So much quicker to leap off the building and carry on after chuggin' a few potions to heal up, rather than take the stairs down. If u die, u just respawn, no harm no foul. So ya, in that sense, I'd rather be able to fight on and protect the parts of me I need to keep fighting, cuz a fatal hit just means I respawn fully healed anyways. So why the fuq not let them tatto's flop about and the peen be free?

There's a comic about this where a girl attacks someone naked because she's covered in a protective force field.

Hey fighting naked did Charles Bronson well. He would fight 5 and 6 gaurds at a time. Sometimes more. That dude was so crazy I would have liked to meet him.

The dwarven engineers were just perverts is another option.
