The chief difference between here, and Reddit, is that there is no accumulated tally of votes here. Someone can "karma farm" all they want here, and they will have exactly nothing to show for it. Their account doesn't have a number going up, there is no final score that marks them out as any kind of special.

Adding any kind of system to denote "consistent positive contribution" as you mentioned, or any kind of actually accumulated score, regardless of rolling delay, would only provide incentive for "karma farming" that does not currently exist.

Your proposed solutions would create the problem you're trying to solve, a problem which does not currently exist.

And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.

Musk has definitely thrown away $44+ Billion, regardless of the election outcome. He didn't buy twitter BECAUSE he wanted to manipulate an election in the future, he bought it because if he didn't the SEC had him dead to rights on stock manipulation charges. Musk had been openly claiming he was gonna buy twitter at meme-stock prices, driving up the stock price, without disclosing that he already owned a lot of twitter stock. He HAD to act like he meant it. It's also why he did everything he could to back out of the deal, including making up bullshit about how twitter lied about the state of the platform, he didn't want to go through with it. But Twitter came correct, proved they had their shit right, and literally forced him to go through with the sale.

Excretion does remove thermal energy from the body, but it also removes mass, and as a result your heat to mass ratio doesn't change in any meaningful way.

"Keeping it in" would technically make your body temperature slower to change (Up or down) because there is slightly more mass to heat or cool. Excreting would technically make your body temperature slightly more susceptible to change, again because there is less mass to heat or cool. But really, those changes are inconsequential.

The actual cooling would occur on intake, not excretion. When you drink cold water, your body heat will dissipate into that water until the temperatures match, resulting in a slight reduction in temperature.

So in summary, excretion itself does nothing to cool you down, even though it's taking thermal energy away, but the entire cycle of drinking cold water, heating it in the body, and then excreting it would reduce body temperature ever so slightly.

Your use of Cryptography is probably roughly on the level of "Having a strong password."

The application of quantum computers will largely in in BREAKING security. You're not going to have a quantum-security module in your phone or home computer.

And when I saw it I had initially thought "Wouldn't it be funny if someone named their company Nothing and was struggling to push a return to office?"

When you know you can't get the votes to win, the only way is to take the vote away from others instead.

When you see [Everyone Hated That] pop up after your last choice, and you panic and try to load a previous save, but the game remembers what you already did.

I hope they all agree and go in one big wave, because otherwise stories of the early adopters being conscripted to die in Ukraine might dissuade the rest of them.

The walls around his castle are too high and there are too many guards.

They think it's a hoax meant to funnel money into the pockets of scammers pushing these new green techs. They think it's just enriching liars who want to vilify things these people loved, all while making things somehow worse. Their vision isn't of a better future, they see a scammer getting rich while their power goes out every time it's cloudy outside or the wind stops.

It's crazy, when the GOP actually talks about what they genuinely believe, people realize it's weird at best and horrifying nightmare fuel more often. That'd be why they spend so much time campaigning on fear and insults and appeals to emotion.
