  • Zombies can magically disintegrate cars at any range, as long as they have line of sight. This means that fleeing from a Zombie in a car is foolish. However, this ability can be used against Zombies. By building your base in such a way that one needs to climb over a car, such as by using a car as a bridge over a moat, you have build a base which will trick 80% of Zombies into making it inaccessible. Any respectable horde is virtually guaranteed to have at least one Zombie who will fall for it.

    Obviously, since 5% of Zombies are capable siege engineers, you can’t fully rely on any sort of static defense to keep a Zombie horde away.

    When killing a Zombie, keep in mind that the plant animating them can jury rig most injuries. Hence, zombies should ideally be incinerated, but if that is unavailable covering them will prevent sunlight from hitting the plants, and thus the plant won’t be able to fix the Zombie to a point where it can move again. The Zombie plant is immune to all commercially available herbicides. Military herbicide HC73 is the most efficient. Care must be taken before deployment of HC73, as the herbicide will render land infertile for 2 to 5 decades.

    Zombies are significantly impaired at night, as key parts of their metabolism rely on photosynthesis. Keep in mind that sunlight deprivation is insufficient to kill a Zombie, no matter how long it is deprived of sunlight.








  • There’s a theory that targeted ads are severely less effective than assumed amongst advertisers, and that traditional “spray and pray” advertisement is just as effective, but a whole lot cheaper. Essentially, targeted ads frequently target people who are already aware of the product, have already decided to buy it, or have already bought it. So, basically, company’s are overpaying for ads, and if they ever stop, the advertisement based internet is in trouble.




  • Well, the less money people have, the more of their income they spend. This means that maximum spending would be achieved when all income is equally distributed. Hence, as money concentrates at the top, consumer spending drops, which reduces the number of viable businesses, but at the same makes more capital available, since people tend to invest money they don’t spend.

    Since people in general aren’t that good at telling whether an idea will pan out or not, as capital starts concentrating at the top, dumb ideas are more likely to attract a ton of funding. Add to that that spectacular ideas attract more funding, while at the same time tending to be bad ideas.

    Essentially, Elon Musk’s businesses are valued so highly because his promises of AGI and space colonization are already being priced in as if they were real, existing things, instead of pipe dreams.
