  • The fourth … appendage on the left hand is being used like a thumb, and doesn’t have any indication of knuckle even though it’d be the most bent finger if it was one. I’d say we can see four fingers on the right hand, while the left is in an indeterminate slop state where it’s only partially a comic/Disney three-finger hand, with one extra slop appendage that’s not clearly either thumb or finger.


  • Part of the answer here is also integrated design. To be able to be repaired a thing has to be designed for that, and to have identifiable parts that can be adjusted or replaced in isolation, and non-destructive disassembly.

    If you have to destroy one part to adjust another, it’s not really repairable. If several functions/components are all one thing then you can’t really replace just the one.

    To use a bike as an example, you can exchange wires, brake pads, seats and most other things in isolation, especially the things that are expected to wear out and need replacement. But you’re not going to replace part of your bar tape or frame, because they’re essentially one whole thing.

    (Ok, you could probably weld a steel frame if you really wanted to, but I think the intent is readable.)











  • I think some of the stuff you worry about as a kid will just arise naturally. Ideas like not stepping on cracks, or imagining monsters in dark places are likely produced spontaneously and naturally by an underdeveloped ape brain.

    But it’d be nice if we didn’t tell kids about old superstitions, yeah. Wait until they’re old enough to react with dismissal about the stupid stuff people used to believe.
