I'm certain the meteor that killed the dinosaurs was without human influence.

I'd say to force anyone speaking in public to have a graph showing who gives them money and who they donate to.

Similar to the Nascar idea, but with that we'd see larger podiums used to hide the more embarrassing fundings.

The changes Germany made heavily made me think of the "well armed and regulated militia" mentioned in the US' 2nd amendment.

One cannot say something is regulated without admitting fault and adjusting when needed until the issue appears less and less.

There is a story is someone doing something similar with their credit card [1].

Not sure how well something like this would fly in the states, but it would be interesting.

I don't think they were intentionally, but some people can get addicted.

One more level

Just after this boss

I think single player games now are just as addictive as they were then. Especially when you look at indie games (Shovel Knight, Death's Door etc).

The moment interaction with other players happens is when I feel a higher bump in addiction can happen. Loot boxes, seeing a cool skin etc.

I think BOTW, while it has a beginning and ending, is much more open than some other games where you're on a structured path.

However I think it speaks that everyone has a different approach and solution to how they play games. It then becomes interesting to see what they play and how they limit their self.

Agreed. The constant dopamine hit with sounds and flashing colors set a horrible precedence. It's bad enough television advertisements hit all the right spots, now video games are a minefield their selves.
