    He’s also very particular about the factory and the chocolate it makes. Candy with a hint of gloop sounds about as appealing as Gloop fudge, and Wonka may just chuck out the whole batch.

    Wonka didn’t defy the laws of reality just so he could cut corners in the factory.






  • “Drill, baby, drill!” has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don’t care about the environment.

    But a funny one, if it was in an Austin Powers movie.

    Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.

    And the infrastructure to do that doesn’t currently exist. Even if they could drill overnight, they don’t have the pumps, platforms, and refineries set up.



  • Could it be used on someone who is a 7 year old to rid them of this?

    No. Gene editing works in this case since they’re just working with a few cells. But a whole human is way more cells. Not only that, but the cells have already developed into structures that are much harder to access, and difficult to change. Any gene therapy may only affect a few cells.

    On top of that, there’s also a bunch of ethical issues around altering a human when they’ve already formed, and we don’t really know if it would be possible to do so, or if it would make things worse.

    Isn’t showing how to use the camera just a common courtesy if you’re asking them to take a photo for you? It’s not really specific to a disposable camera, nor today. Even back in the day, people would do the same, despite cameras generally having a big clear button to take the photo with.
