Sometimes their emotions have gone so far past reasonable that the first thing you need to do is bring them back to the point you can actually reason with them. After that, yes it's really vital to take their emotions seriously, they need to understand them and trust that the people around them will take them seriously, but they also haven't yet built the skills to moderate their own feelings, so sometimes you need to add those externally.

Oof, yeah I could see how that could happen. I guess you really should know the kid before trying something like that. I usually find that making mine laugh is enough to start to reset them, and then helping them calm down is a lot easier. Also, a question like that is definitely for small kids, not those who can fling furniture.

No, no, an alloy of gold and silver is electrum, electricity is a city dedicated to the greek fury representing implacable anger.

I was told that one way to help a young child break out of a tantrum is to ask them an odd question, something like "What color shoes are you wearing?" It does seem to work sometimes, usually by annoying them so much that they forget what they were upset about in the first place.

Wait, it purged the entire ecosystem except trout, so what are the trout eating? Don't tell me we now have nuclear powered fish, the implications are terrifying. What happens if you're bitten by a radioactive trout? Do we get troutman, the superhero we neither want, need or deserve?

Of course they're not blowing up the hamster! That would be unethical, immoral, probably illegal, very hard to clean up, and, most importantly, lasers don't blow things up, they vapourise them.

They vapourise the hamsters.

Can you imagine how offended you'd be if these were serious payments and the bank suggested you were joking? I have a mental image of a jihadist having an meltdown because their bank didn't take them seriously.

The internet in it's heyday, when it was a genuinely thrilling place to find information, and quite a lot of weirdness, and before it was swamped by corporate interests.

I remember starting out with gopher and a paper print out of 'The big dummies guide to the internet' which was a directory of almost every gopher and ftp site (pre web) along with a description of what you'd find there.
