or bring bad weather, surely we would all agree that if anyone deserved the death penalty, then these filthy quislings did.
For bad weather? As in… 3^^^3 days of sleet is worse than 50 years of torture?
Well, bad enough weather in an agricultural society is murder.
Bad weather, as in ‘rain that rots your crops and causes famine’, ‘wind that takes the roof off your house’, ‘blizzards that kill your livestock’, etc...
I suspect that 300 days of sleet might have an effect, even now.
My Cthulhu, yes. 3^^^3 days of sleet is so far beyond my normal conceptions of badness that I’m not sure a dozen lifetimes of torture would be enough.
3^^^3 is a very large number.
3^^^3 is a very large number
Trivial things can be horrendous if there are 3^^^3 of them.
Things that require a large number like 3^^^3 of them in order to be horrendous are trivial things.
It is implied that bringing bad weather is a relatively trivial thing.
There are other things that are worse than bad weather, per victim and instance, like torture.
Saying “if anyone deserved the death penalty, then these filthy quislings did” is a little bit funny if the crime is bad weather.
Agreed. My previous post probably reads more seriously than intended.
