That's what most electromagnetic thrusters do.

Ancient glibc versions run ok on current kernels, you're just missing out on some newer features. Otherwise statically linked binaries would cease to work.

These routes can spill over many different paths. There is no central authority that would be able to drop them from the whole internet. Even if one Tier 1 ISP dropped them then their routes would just flow through another one. And good luck getting all of them to agree on that unless there's some massive, persistent abuse.

You give no reason why that should be the case. Holding a controversial opinion and not being on your toes how you phrase things can easily provoke bans/deplatforming in many environments. It's a lot easier to just let another account bite the dust than tiptoe around things all the time just to maintain a persistent identity.

It's not just the time. Computers don't have higher reasoning that can cross-check the results with expectations from a more complex world model. So by just flashing images I guess you only activate some earlier parts of the visual processing machinery. So that's quite fair to the computers since their NNs only do primitive pattern checking without reasoning too.
