It's like they spent a lot of time and effort thinking about, how many different ways can we make this more terrifying? I'm having trouble coming up with anything else they could do short of anything really blatant like attaching it to a mobile body with flailing meat grinder arms and giving it a blood curdling 100 decibel scream.

No, just 100,000 years old, can't you read?
Yeah but this kind of salt they only taste test every half million years or so, so the expiration dates cant be trusted to be that precise.
pretty sure I've seen ducks shooting up in the park...
It's not mangy, its exuberant! Give it time, it may grow on you. (pun not intended...honest)
They were carried by knights who didn't have horses.
Maybe, but if true it means that whether the child is choking on feathers or bowling balls, they are ejected at the same speed, which is a great advantage of this technique.
But you can "Engage Tent Mode on your vehicle's touchscreen for an enhanced camping experience"!
Ooo, rub that butt! (It looks like you did, what did you use?)
The solution to this is either reform from within, or by regulation. The former requires that involvement that I talked about, starting at the local level. That is how grassroots works. Reform has happened before. We did not use to even have democratic primaries.
We could argue about which of those two approaches is more feasible, but I would argue that any regulation from above is going to be incomplete and imperfect, and the people involved are going to game the new system just as they have before to their advantage and to hold onto power. The only long term solution is more involvement from below. Democracy cannot work with the minimal level of involvement that we have come expect.
Not at all, nor am I saying it's a good system. But the realities of how individuals shape the system and determine who is making discisions starts at the local level, and happens over time, and it does come to reflect the interests of those who choose to participate, and not those who don't. This is just the reality of how power operates.
Assuming they were dropped by whoever installed that plug, 100,000 years, as estimated by the experts cited by the article.
