| | I edited a sentence to try to make the tone a little more neutral. It's notable that some people think animals have feelings, and some people simply don't believe they do, and could naturally compare them to rocks or pencils but still be very caring people. Personally, I believe animals feel suffering as strongly as we do, but I've never had the opportunity to argue this to exhaustion. This is an age-old argument, studied regularly by college students, that I suppose could bear reference in the explanation.

| − | : Changed it to be significantly less neutral. The comic explicitly uses the phrases "terrible opinions" and "awful people", so it's pretty clear that the comic, at least, is not supposed to be neutral. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.232|108.162.241.232]] 16:49, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

| | Is "everyone '''on''' here" correct English? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.186.52|172.69.186.52]] 10:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC) | | Is "everyone '''on''' here" correct English? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.186.52|172.69.186.52]] 10:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC) |
| − | :I would say "everyone '''on''' here" is fine; I might also say "everyone '''in''' here" if I were thinking of this wiki as a room, which sometimes seems to fit . . . . [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.46|108.162.216.46]] 10:50, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

| − | :This is supposed to be a post from social media. A user is "on" Facebook, a user is "on" Twitter, a user is only "in" Facebook if they have used an experimental TRON-type laser to enter the servers. {{unsigned ip|162.158.158.63}}

| − | Trying to eventually get a 0 incomplete wiki, and this explanation seems fine. Unless anyone has specific complaints, I’ll take it down later. If anyone does, I’ll fix it. [[User:Netherin5|“That Guy from the Netherlands”]] ([[User talk:Netherin5|talk]]) 13:03, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

| − | : Just because you want a 0 incomplete wiki isn't cause for removing an incomplete, this explanation is not finished and needs editing, it includes far too much information and it's difficult to parse [[User:Lackadaisical|Lackadaisical]] ([[User talk:Lackadaisical|talk]]) 17:09, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

| − | The understanding of the Plato's cave allegory here is fundamentally wrong. Plato's Cave does not serve "as an allegory for our limited understanding of phenomena that occur primarily or entirely outside direct perception by our natural senses." Plato's cave serves to point out to us that our understanding of reality is limited by what we are able to perceive, that the real world is much more than what we can detect. As the prisoners, shackled to the wall perceived the shadows as the only reality, so do we, shackled to our metaphorical wall, perceive only what we can see as "real". {{unsigned ip|172.68.174.112}}

| − | "Sometimes, one of my friends posts an angry response to some terrible opinion I've never heard before" I find a youtube comment "I don’t like the theory that the Horror-terrors are god-tiered squiddles"

| − | There is a possible interpretation that I haven't seen here. It is alluded that the author of the post has awful friends with terrible opinions. Thus, it might be possible that the person reacting to the post is one of those awful friends with terrible opinions. What seems to support this interpretation is the reference to Plato. Plato's cave is a symbol of ignorance. The joke here would be that the person who reacts to the post could be ignorant of the fact he is part of the problem. This could be a form of self-deprecating humour. --[[User:thym|thym]] 19 June 2022 (UTC)
