Larger than your average claw hammer or ball peen, at least.

Especially when it causes law enforcement to become so paranoid of the citizens they’re ostensibly meant to protect, that a mere hailstone landing on the car roof immediately causes them to believe they’re being fired upon.
That just sounds like a terrible time for everyone involved.
At that point, you’re basically turning the constabulary into soldiers.
Carry a large warhammer, like Thor.
Could they not just break the circuit for the panel, and stop it feeding back into the mains?
Is it not the other way around? The stuff in the square brackets becomes the alt-text.

Ah, that’s unfortunate, but understandable.
Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.
You can also get rechargeable AA batteries. It might be better, since there isn’t a cable, and you can charge one set of batteries, while using the other in the mouse.
There have always been people like that, it’s just more noticeable now because the numbers are larger.
People still use MySpace and Digg, and there are people on Bluesky, Mastodon, here, etc.
I left Twitter for much the same reasons. All the replies are basically unusable now, because bots just pay to get put at the top of the sorting algorithm, and it’s now full of bait and spam, since the website formerly known as Twitter now pays for engagement, since that apparently worked out well for Quora (!).
They’re doing a Bradbury, in a way, kind of like Tumblr and Steam. Everyone else is shooting themselves in the foot.
Although the quality has noticeably decreased. The number of bots has shot up a ridiculous amount.
Lemmy is nice, but the content on it is quite niche. If you want something less tech-oriented, you’re generally out of luck, for example.
Mine is that they wanted it to stand out, compared to all the other phones with flat screens at the time, especially with all the design clones.
You would look at it and go “oh that phone looks funny, must be a Samsung”.
If you can somehow lick a gas, more power to you.
It’d be a bit unreliable, though. Not everyone has the same reaction to the same thing, nor do they express it in a similar way.
Someone might think a snake or a spider is cute, whereas another would want to incinerate it on the spot. A third might be concerned because they seem to be injured, etc.
Not to mention that image recognition/emotional analysis has been an ongoing field of research for some time. Making the link is not overly difficult.
Also great to squeak a little battery in if your phone was flat and you needed to make a call.
You do what the police do, and provide a proportionate response.
A gun is only to be used if you are in imminent danger of your life. A robbery is arguably not that, unless they’re trying to steal your organs or prostheses.
There’s a reason your average supermarket security guard doesn’t immediately whip out the Mini-Nuke the moment they see a shoplifter.
There’s also something to be said about the place you’re living in, where you’re to be terrified of stabbists and robberers the moment you step out-of-doors. Do you live in a hive of scum and villainy?
