It was enough water to fill that room in a few minutes, I’d say a few toilets and shower drains would be a negligible effect. Although once the water got a few feet over the bowl, or other drain, I’d stay the fuck away from them because of potential delta-P situations.

There would be no air (or even sewer gas) to breath in that case. Toilets work by raising the water level in the bowl above the water level in the S-bend/siphon. Since the room was full of water, those toilets would have been flushing constantly, and the whole pipe would be full of water.
Better(ish) solution. Use the body bags that they each had to fill out and place in their trunk/locker to capture an air bubble. That would at least give you some time to attack the door, or figure out how to drain the room.
We should also switch away from liquid based detergents. My partner gets liquid dishwasher detergent, and it bugs me a bit because we’re paying extra money, and buying extra plastic, just to ship a dilute version of the powder that I’d rather buy.
Is the goal to reduce plastic, or is the goal to live as long and sustainably as possible on the only known rock that can support human life?
But I see it as two sides of the same coin. Plastic or glass, we’re not getting at the core problem, which is long distance, packaging intensive transportation of goods. Plastic is bad because it becomes trash, and eventually a pollutant. Glass may have less pollution in the product, but more pollution in the distribution.
I think it’s worth pointing out here that there are some major downsides to glass.
Weight. Glass is heavy, more weight means more energy (and emissions) required to transport it, and a lower product mass to packaging mass ratio.
Durability. Glass bottles have to be much thicker than plastic bottles to achieve the same strength, which means thicker glass and/or additional packaging is required to get the product to the consumer.
It would be interesting to see the total life cycle emissions for packaging types, and to figure out how many re-uses (if any) are required for a glass bottle to offset its pollution footprint compared to a disposable vs recycled plastic bottle.
I can’t really advocate for plastic/aluminum/glass packaging, since I’m not aware of a study the considers the total footprint for each.
Ideally, we’d purchase our own containers, and then fill our own containers from a local bulk supply. Minimizing the weight and distance traveled while maximizing re-use is key.

Literally how those little blades drones in Half-Life 2 worked.
Bro, don’t get me started…
I’m out here in the 34^vz dimension, and a gallon of gas costs more than I make in a year, partly because there is only one dimension at this time that still hasn’t stopped burning fossil fuels, despite the immense and obvious damage it does to the environment, but also because we here in 34^vz have evolved past the concept of money.
Right? I was going to sell 5g blockers online when the pandemic started, but I have some semblance of a conscience… Also my wife threatened to leave me if I did.
Or… I run a reddit botnet, and Christmas is coming up. What’s the easiest group of rubes to fleece?
Terrible.

You don’t need AI for that. There are two simple rules for dealing with snakes.
Don’t pick them up. If you don’t know what they are, definitely don’t pick them up.
This should cover 99.99% of your snake interactions. Most people will not need to identify snakes in situations not covered by this rule set.
Not to mention, the book is probably going to list look-alike plants, and mention if they are toxic. AI is just going to go “It’s this thing”.
Clockwise, counter clockwise. Classic time shorthand (IE, half past ten, quarter to eleven). Time estimations (easy to see a half minute on a analog clock, digital just goes from 2:00 to 2:01)
I think analog clock displays are more elegant, and are overall nicer than digital. Personal preference though.
Never forget? In some states it’s downright illegal to teach kids that complex, sophisticated and civilized societies existed here before white people showed up.
I wouldn’t know. There are toilets in the US that use a high pressure flush, but they still have a siphon. It’s there so that the toilet can flush without water pressure from the mains (you can flush a toilet by dumping a bucket of water in it) and it also forms a seal that prevents sewer gas from flowing back up through the toilet. So even if the toilet uses an alternate flushing method, it probably still has a siphon.
