dead pool

A "dead pool" of water in a reservoir is the level below which water can no longer flow out through the dam's outlets, meaning it's trapped and unusable for power generation or downstream supply, a critical concern for major US dams like Lake Mead and Lake Powell due to drought and climate change, signifying a severe water crisis.

What % of water is left in the dead pool depends on the reservoir.

Dead Dove: Do Not Eat

A fanfiction tag equivalent to “what you see is what you get” for dark, sometimes explicit content. It means that whatever you see in the tags, whether that be cannibalism or torture, is what you’re going to read.
Person A: “I read this fic tagged with Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, thinking it was gonna be gore, but it was so much grosser!”
Person B: “yeah, it’s a real pet peeve when authors tag that with no context.”

dead end candidate

1. A thing that prevents others from beating it by being too good, but cannot not evolve to get any better.

2. Whatever SFIA (famous youtuber) mean when he said that dinosaurs are a dead end candidate. (forgot which video he used the term)
Dinosaur hater: you always talk about wanting dinosaurs to survive the asteroid impact, but you forgot that they were a dead end candidate. Dinosaurs do not have precision control of their hands to make technology. And, dinosaurs eat the animals that do have precision control, such as early primates and other dinosaurs that had better hands.
Dinosaur lover: oh yeah, you always liked the soviet union, but they were also a dead end candidate, but for social progress. The soviet union oppressed freedoms by banning lgbt. The soviet union had many times the economical and military power compared to the USA. And, the soviet union cannot do social progress because all their citizens were blue-pilled and too busy enjoying their large purchasing power to notice the oppression.
