That actually gets around my questions above nicely. Moving Mjølnir ≠ using Mjølnir. If the hammer can be moved by natural forces, it’s just a chunk of metal - it won’t have the devastating impact it does when Thor throws it.
And I guess if Thor woke up and called the hammer back, it’d go regardless of natural forces acting on it.
Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe, being said to be rubble from the rock of creation and the strongest substance in all the realms. It is purportedly unique to Nidavellir, one of the Ten Worlds. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties.
Edit: I think I found a good answer below. Even if natural forces could lift Mjølnir, the enchantment would not be in effect - getting beaned by a 40-something pound chunk of metal would still hurt, but it wouldn’t hit as hard as it does when Thor uses it.
Ah, but Magneto’s not the one lifting the hammer - he’s directing magnetic fields that are doing the lifting!
So, could the wind pick up Thor’s hammer, if it were strong enough? How about changes in gravity - is Mjølnir as hard to pick up on the moon as at the surface of the Arctic ocean (Earth’s highest-gravity location, I couldn’t find coordinates)?
If so, then I ask: is the magic of the hammer smart enough to know the difference between a primal force and a primal force that’s doing someone a favour?

That’s adorable 😂 Such a hygienic boy!
busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.

My face is midway between 😱 and ಠ_ಠ right now. That sounds difficult. Have you found anything that helps? Do you just sleep like crap every night?
I think selling such skulls would be highly unethical.
Would you? Why? FWIW I agree that as long as there’s a living person who cares about the fate of the bones then selling them would be unethical, I’m just curious as to your specific reasons - like, what is the hypothetical you’re imagining, behind this statement? Are you contending it would be unethical even if nobody living cares, just due to the provenance? I can see why you would object if the former user of the anatomy believed in the sanctity of remains, for example.
I’m not sure I’d agree, but I’m not sure I’d disagree either. I’d need to think on it more. Right now, I’m leaning towards respecting the wishes of the dead as far as their remains go, because the universe is big and cruel and the only kindnesses are those we make for each other, so why shouldn’t that extend as far as we do?
I think you don’t understand the difference between fundamental rights and regular old rights. A right does not have to be fundamental to be a right.
And, if copyright law were about encouraging creation, it would not restrict the use of other peoples’ work.
Would you do me a favour? Read back over this thread until you realise you just argued creation is “encouraged” by a category of law which only restricts the use of other peoples’ work, including modifying it to create derivative works, and has been used as a club against creation to boot. Consider, how does Nintendo kill Smash tourneys? How many YouTube videos have been wrongly DMCA’d?
No, it is not. Copyright law ensures the original creator gets paid for their work and nobody can imitate it (quite literally “the right to copy”) without permission. Copyright law is about making money.
Heritage law is about preserving history.
Ehh, I halfway agree, but there is value in keeping historical stuff around. Heritage laws exist in a good number of countries so that all the cultural architecture doesn’t get erased by developers looking to turn a quick buck or rich people who think that 500 year old castle could really use an infinity pool hot tub; there are strict requirements for a building to be heritage-listed but once they are, the owner is required by law to maintain it to historical standards.
I only halfway disagree because you’re right, forcing people to pay for something has never sat right with me generally. As long as the laws don’t bite people like you and me, e.g. there are relatively high requirements for something to be considered “culturally relevant” enough to preserve, I’d be okay with some kind of heritage system for preserving the internet.

Sometimes, a shitpost is so shit but also so very post that I get trapped in a whirlpool of knowing it should be upvoted, but not wanting to. Congratulations?
From the extract alone I can tell this is either AI slop or so badly written as to be no better.
Pick any of them, and repeat it over and over again. It’ll quickly become the weirdest word in the language, at least for a while.
Drinking too much water is pretty difficult. You must be talking about the consequence of drinking a healthy amount of water, which is peeing every hour or so. On the one hand, yes, it’s really annoying to be in the middle of something and have to go take a piss. On the other hand,

Ah, I didn’t know there have been things that prevented the call from working (aside from the whole fall from grace storyline). I guess that’s why I stopped reading comics. No consistency 😂
