  • FWIW I initially just took this in the context of the source material, Game of Thrones.

    Cersei Lannister (pictured) comes from a noble house whose sigil is a lion. They use a lot of lion metaphors. One of the quotes from her father Tywin (in the show at least) is “The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.”

    Cersei as a character, though, is a bit of a hot mess who makes it her business to concern herself with everyone.


  • My 90’s childhood trauma resurfaced here.

    I pressed + a few times to keep making the horse bigger, which made me happy, and wondered “How far can I go with this?”

    So I pressed it a few more times, with diminishing results, and then I started feeling anxious for some reason. I realized I was thinking “Wait, this is a setup. How long until it turns into a horrifying face and screams at me?”

    Too many old gimmicky sites/flash games that cause users to focus more intently/rush on through before throwing in a jump scare. Always hated that stuff.

    Based on the other comments though, I’m relieved it seems to be an innocuous site that just helps a horse achieve its dream of becoming as big as it can possibly be.



  • Agreed. It will require careful redistribution of labor and resources to ensure stability with a declining population.

    But nations typically want to hoard their resources, and the value of labor is measured only in overall utility to the billionaire class, so I don’t believe it will be a graceful decline for the majority of the world in practice.


  • Even young people who grew up with technology.

    There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.

    By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.
