Wouldn’t it rather be DEL? CUT can only move stuff elsewhere and doesn’t just delete stuff.
Cut deletes if you don’t paste after.
Does it? I swear it puts the selected item in a quantum state until the resolution of if it was pasted elsewhere or not.
Farmer purgatory
For files, yeah. I was thinking of text.
Just checked it and it depends. On WORD, it removes the text, in EXCEL it does not (until pasted elsewhere)
It does but there are many farmers to cut and only the last one will stay in cosmic clipboard.
Ehh, embellishing its meaning a bit. I didn’t recall if it would remove the text when initially cut and replace it if was not pasted. Turns out when i tested these, it depended on the program on how it acted.
Really depends on what. With text it usually does remove it no matter what. N9t so much with files.
deleted by creator
Don’t worry, they’ll be pasted on a farm upstate.
Progeny
Pasted to their death.
They could have just had Cut and Paste help with harvesting 🤷🏻♂️
Then Copy could have devalued the crops by multiplying them to the point they cost nothing. 😊
Honestly would that ever actually be a bad thing?
Like I really can’t fathom a realistic way producing too much food (or whatever they’re growing) can be a problem.
And before anyone brings up the economy I’d rather there be so much food it’s worthless than what we have now.

You’re not wrong, but when food is worthless there’s no reason to grow it. Farms cost money to run. Now a solution could be to nationalize or subsidize farms completely so that the tax dollars put into them directly lower the cost of food, but that ain’t happening.
Wouldn’t it even itself out
Probably not, but it’s better than subsidizing farmers to not sell stuff and crash the market. That’s just doubling down on waste.
Might be a carbon and unwanted other animal species issues. Bugs, small mammals, and predators thereof. Compost is great but it’s still producing by-products. If distribution and politics could be solved (probably politics is the main barrier in distribution, followed by natural disaster, many of which are the direct result of politics), perhaps these things wouldn’t be a great concern. But I’m not a scientist.
That’s what happens to us too. 😬
Should we run?
There is a Kill la Kill reference hidden in there… Hidden in plain sight, I mean.
But cut doesn’t work that way…
How so? It deletes something from the source and stores it in the clipboard. If you never paste it… it’s effectively just deleting it.
But the handling of the command is application independent. Also many applications have their own clipboard
The fact that you say “it deletes something” means you are ignoring the copy process happening in the background.
That something could be any text or file and both have different implementation depending on the app receiving the command.
File cut doesn’t even copy the file into the windows clipboard, it just copies the reference to where the file is stored
Other objects like Text behavior incur a replacement of the data on the w clipboard but that’s not the same as erasing although it might seem like it that’s why
Is that a Kill La Kill reference?
Hard to say, too much clothing.
“I’m Mr Meeseeks, look at me!”
That’s basically what happens to all of us!
