If I put multiple of these in someone's room and have them all go off at 3am can they have my arrested?

Are you allowed access to their room? If so, I don't really see how. Unless it results in something more serious than them getting a fright and losing some sleep.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Yeah, if you break into their room to place them, they can have you arrested for that I guess. Otherwise they'd have to prove some kind of psychological or hearing damage or something I guess?

About this attack specifically? Not unless you use Windows and haven't updated in a while.

Also bear in mind that this kind of attacks typically doesn't affect you, but only other people.

Do they still have a ministry or whatever in France dedicated to coming up with French words for technological innovations so they don't have to use English words?

If you hold in your poop over a long period of time does it just get piled up and get bigger and bigger and bigger? Does it eventually compress into a harder constipated poop form?

Yes. It's called the Commission d'enrichissement de la langue française (no english wiki), working with the Académie française.
They came up with words barely used (and vastly mocked) such as 'mot-dièse' for hashtag or 'fureteur' for lurker (of a forum or such), but also words used everyday such as 'liseuse' (e-book reader), or tablette.

Also, looking into it, they just released a glossary for gaming words: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jo_pdf.do?id=JORFTEXT000034391219

Better late than never, but I doubt there is any chance most of those word will take over the English equivalents already omnipresent (such as MMORPG or FPS).

One will probably eventually get fecal impaction, for which the treatment is an enema. Hope the nurse is good lookin'

Well, technically, the title is still Iron Fist anyway, and looks like even French Canadian kept it.
But you can go with:
J'ai fait du visionnage boulimique du trône de fer. (which is Game of Thrones)

Sounds very weird (even had to ask for some help).

Could be in any way advantageous for a child to strip them away from all their innocence as soon as possible?
Is there a developmental under-limit where stripping of innocence isn't even possible?
Let's say we're talking about a run of the mill Western person. Boy or girl could have different implications, of course.

First of all it's hard to define what exactly constitutes childlike innocence--some sort of simplicity/purity, ignorance of the world, combined with carefreeness and boundless imagination. It's a relatively modern concept which really took wing during the 19th century, and can be seen in one of its earliest form in Rousseau's Émile. Some people would argue that childhood innocence isn't really a thing, and is mostly something invented/romanticized to serve as political rhetoric.

Eliminating it is difficult since it's so hard to define, but I'd imagine that depriving a child of food and human contact would hinder their development enough to prevent that "innocent" from appearing in any recognizable form. I don't think there's any advantage to doing that though. If you want to protect a child from dangers or con-artists or something else, you can probably ingrain that in a child without impacting their innocence whatever that may be.

in my utopia, humans would start breeding at ~+2 years after getting ones period 'till 19 or 21(to be decided). children born within that time will be raised(all expenses payed) by the state for socialists and by < X company for which grandparents/parents work> for the capitalists.

innocence is a human construct driven by <own>weakness and self pity then forcefully projected onto unsuspecting victims. it needs to die; it only creates complacent clones, drones and clueless whinos.

Edit: the santa-claus part of the innocence doesn't matter because after you tell your kids about it, they'll make their own santas anyway, often better than your red, fat geezer.
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

that, coming from TL's poster child of pampering, is laughably predictable.
come on dude, at least pretend to act tough so you could visualize contexts: would you want your kids to be raised by the state of Finland or by the Trump Organization?. just make them great again!.

basically you didn't get it and talked out based on own fears.

Edit: the busiest time in a humans life is when he's working or in the latest years of study, so things must be squeezed in before or after that period; after it, it's to late.

Still, your utopia is not so attractive.
Basically you put everyone to study for 3+ years, and have the children raised as they were in French noblesse.
I wouldn't call this an utopia, as in it's radically different, new, optimal and quite unachievable, but more so a general upgrade (in your sense) of the society.

I feel that this discussion, possibly even more so than the average stupid-question discussion, desperately needs a concrete example. Everyone are just going off on random highly abstract tangents depending on what meaning you put in the words discussed.

In this case, I'd like Ulridge to give an (or a few) example of childhood innocence, and how it might be stripped, and we can then discuss pros and cons of that. Would maybe even (gasp!) have people talk about more or less the same thing.
