Better warn you than being sorry.
did you get offended?
I'm more offended by the warning.
>>728787128what kind of retard is not already aware that anything anywhere could offend them
>>728787128Fuck off, Maliken
>>728787128>Heroes of NewerthWhere the fuck did you get this image? HoN has been dead for like 15 years
>>728789236i dunno, but someone forced people to write "caution: hot" on coffee cups
>>728789803that was done out of an abundance of caution, not because anyone forced anyone to write it. you sound easily misled.
>>728789803>caution: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot: hot:....?????
That's what ESRB ratings are for, if you're an adult you are expected to cope with all words and triggers.
>>728790071In 1994 an American woman suffered severe burns from scalding hot coffee cup, sued McDonalds which served her the coffee and won.After that, to avoid liability, coffee cups now have a clear warning about coffee being hot.
>>728790071>you sound easily misledyou sound ill informed
>>728789803>>728790071>>728790128Fun fact: The "Caution: Hot" was part of the misdirect by McDonalds. They have been repeatedly informed that their coffee was not just "hot" but in fact SCALDING hot, and actually too hot to be safe to hand people. So eventually what happened was that some dude took his grandmom to get a coffee, and it accidentally spilled in her lap. The shit was SO fucking hot, that it caused her third degree burns on her legs and genitals, the images are so graphic that I probably can't post them on /v/ without catching a ban, but feel free to google "liebeck coffee burns". She only sued to get her medical cost covered.McDonalds and their lawyers then ran a giant smear campaign, painting the poor grandma as some frivolous lawsuit chancer, trying to get rich of her own clumsyness, when they handed her coffee hot enough to burn the fucking skin off of her legs. And that's also where the "caution: hot" shit comes from.
>>728790848>They have been repeatedly informed that their coffee was not just "hot" but in fact SCALDING hot, and actually too hot to be safe to hand people.How does that work? You can't heat coffee past 100 °C (boiling temperature).
>>728791523You don't consider near boiling to be scalding hot??
>>728791523Doesn't need to be over 100°C to cause permanent damage. Her lawyers argued that the cofee was between 82-88°C hot, You don't actually want to have it that high at all for coffee because at that point you're burning the stuff. And obviously, it's extremely hazardous should it be spilled. once again: look up the pics. It's gruesome.
>>728791831NTA but my mom used to pour water near that temperature on me as punishment
>>728791976My mother used to waterboard me with 98°C urine as punishment for crying, when I was 2 years old.
>>728790848Based knower
>>728790472thanks retard for supporting my point that nobody was forced to do it.
huh. do places normally serve hot coffee still boiling? i make coffee at home and I let it sit for several minutes before I even bother trying to take a sip
>>728791942Why would I look up the pics? Why would anyone look up the pics? What do you gain from seeing the photos. You are sickKill all gorefags
>>728789770they are trying to relaunch it
>>728787669this
>>728792659The company has done it to escape liability in the future. No one is forcing them at gunpoint to do so but it's a preventative measure brought on by someone else's stupidity, in this case the retard that dumped coffee on his grandma and sought money for it. It's like when we put a label on a giant metal thresher designed for shredding shit or a wood chipper that says "DON'T PUT YOUR HAND IN HERE" should it be obvious? Yes, absolutely. Are people fucking stupid and going to look for some sort of compensation because they avoided common sense and stuck their hand or leg in to free up a jam or force items through faster? Yes. Will the manufacturer be forced to pay out because "YOU DIDN'T PUT A WARNING ON IT SAYING NOT TO PUT MY HAND IN THE GIANT SWARM OF BLADES PULPING ENTIRE TREES OW OW OW!!!!" Yes, they will. So no one was 'forced' to, but I'm not forcing you to jump off a bridge if I've got a gun dug into your back and have you standing on the precipice. It's your choice to walk that way towards the sudden drop and shallow water.

>>728793330>in this case the retard that dumped coffee on his grandma and sought money for it.She spilled it on herself while trying to open the lid. Her grandson made sure to park.Read the fucking case before commenting on it, retard.
>>728794280Yes, I am aware of the case, do you know how my grandparents and parents open the lids of their coffee? In the cupholder, not hovered above their lap. Again, we need labels for retards like the poor elderly lady here who would most likely get trapped if she were to ever encounter a door without a push/pull sticker on it. Do you know why when reloading firearms we point them away from ourselves? I bet you'll never guess why when honing knives we are taught to push the blade away from the body and ensure our fingers are below the crossguard. These are both things that don't have labels but we probably should for people like the double darwin/dementia candidate.
what could be so offensive about this game?
>>728792801If you're going somewhere, the coffee from a drive through would cool down during the drive
>>728792659Execs didn't like getting sued and made the lawyers cover their ass in the future. Those lawyers then told the cup manufacturers to print it on every cup. So yeah, someone forced someone else to do it
>>728787128This misses the entire point of a content/trigger warning in the first place. An effective warning makes it clear "This game contains realistic simulated violence." "This game contains depictions of sexual assault." "This game contains pizza with sliced pineapples as a topping."whatever
