First incidence of shitpocalypse in the wild *may* have just happened in the Ukraine.
That's /impressive/ to look at. The street just... disintegrates.
I want to know more about this now.
Do you really? Will your life be better or worse for knowing how your toilet will one day kill you?
Anyway, this was the "not enough water" version, not the "too much ammonia" version. You can tell because everyone didn't suddenly puke up their lungs and die.
ETA: This shouldn't really have happened for another 5 years or so, but Dave and I should get another bonus anyway.
Oh, I'm not connected to a water treatment facility. I live in humble Central Florida, where we put our poo in the ground and pull our water out of it.
Incidentally, I drink only bottled water for that reason. You can smell the micro-organisms when you turn on the tap.
"Not enough water" causing such a spectacular explosion is incredible. I'm not sure how much detail you can go into, but I really, truly am in fact curious. The shitpocalypse is nigh and I simply must understand its terrible secrets.
It's been known for decades - since the advent of factory farming - that shit that doesn't move starts to exotherm (google "pig farms horrible bubble shotgun" for laughs). In pipes, there are two things to keep in mind: If water is pushing shit faster than the speed that the exothermic reaction occurs, then all is well with the world. If there is enough water to soak up the heat, also good.
If the shit is moving too slowly and there is not enough water to absorb the heat, then the heat climbs in a curve that looks like an inverted logarithm...ie, loads of heat really fast, then a very slow continual increase. The point where the reaction begins reaches the boiling point of water, and then more or less flashes into steam. This spreads both directions in the pipe, with the pressure growing as the cube of the volume, with all the heated shit expanding as well, until either it reaches a release point (ie, your toilet), or the pipe explodes.
It's worth noting that the shit in the center of the explosion would be intensely hot, but most of the moving mass would be less than 40C.

What's extra weird is the people who don't care. Not like, "I'm kinda racist so I really don't want to know about this stuff," more like, "I have no real curiosity or interest in this, so I literally don't know any of this ever happened."
For example, one of the guitarists in Frost Heaves is a really nice guy, and absolutely not intentionally racist, but I had to explain redlining to him - which isn't that odd, as it's fairly special interest, but in order to do so I had to give him a brief intro to systemic racism in America, which he didn't know was and is a thing. He couldn't get his head around the fact that the government intentionally wrote racist laws post Jim Crow. He was at least willing to learn, but it was really weird to me to have to go back that far.

So you come in here with "helpful advice" on how we can better "defend" abortion, because the left are idiots, and we are doing it wrong. Over the course of 6 dreadfully predictable pages, you (of course) wander from "here, dummies, let me help you" to "my main problem with abortion". So you out yourself as having entered the thread under false pretenses to begin with. You're not interested in improving arguments in favor of abortion rights, you are actually a pro-life fanatic. This explains why any honest attempt to enlighten you as to the reasons why certain arguments are or are not employed, fails to enlighten you. You are not here for information, you are here to preach.
I'm not exposing anything everyone hasn't already seen here, of course. But maybe this will help you understand why no one is taking you seriously. You know, besides the fact that your "arguments" are stupid and not worth real consideration.

This echoes an interesting point someone mentioned recently - the PD itself was heavy on the Funny but the BIP was more on the serious side.
As horror increases is it important (or possible) for mirth to increase proportionally or does mirth fall as horror rises?
Is there actually more horror now than in the 70s? I don't know - I wasn't around back then.

The line between horror and mirth is getting harder to tread.
Not really. Its as wide (or narrow, depending on your perspective) as its always been. There's just been a bit of re-branding here and there so it feels new.
