The “uncanny valley” feeling that people get from seeing something that’s not “human enough” is a strong indicator that at one point in our evolution we had a reason to be afraid of something that looked human but wasn’t.
At one point in our history there was a massive die off of humans. Less than 200,000 of us remained. We are all descendants of them, and we have no idea what caused the mass die off.

Caesar carried it unopened into the Senate house, where he was stabbed twenty-three times.
Em uma das escolas públicas que monitoro, recebemos 150 notebooks. Não é exagero: nos primeiros 15 dias, mais da metade já estava sem algumas teclas e avariada de alguma forma por vandalismo. Quando o gestor convocava os pais, eles ameaçavam processar a escola.
As restrições dos poderes do Kurapika são tipo "Sim, eu tenho Nen o suficiente para derrotar automaticamente este inimigo, mas se eu comer um sanduíche numa terça-feira de lua crescente enquanto uso uma bermuda, eu morro instantaneamente"
