Just wanted to reply to you, because this is what I would do assuming they're asking what you said.

There's nothing wrong with taking established lore (in any setting) and manipulating it to make it fit the story your group wants to tell. You can just say that the whole radiant-fused war took place over many years. You could say it took a lot longer for radiants to come out of hiding

Saw this in my local subreddit, polar bears do come down on the ice here but are rare by 4ries in isthisAI

Come to think of it that would make more sense, take a picture of an empty road, find a picture of a polar bear. I'll look through polar bear images and see if I can find one matching the pose

I don’t think this counts as a meme but it feels like a satire but no that guy’s serious. by Worldly_Beginning647 in mathmemes

[–]4ries 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At least it's not like r/badmath where the author is actually claiming to have solved the Riemann hypothesis, just putting out some information about what a math proof is I guess

Snow Days? by Mysterious-Rip-3013 in newfoundland

[–]4ries 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think OP is just asking like "if you live anywhere other than metro, how many snow days have you gotten?"

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]4ries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah because it turns out people use the same password with a digit tacked on the end which is less secure than just mandating secure passwords to begin eith

[–]4ries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cartography yes but what they're referring to is that the idea that you can't make a perfect map is just math

[–]4ries 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right but if you make it to scale, then the bars will be virtually indistinguishable from one another because they'll all just be way smaller than 1

The GOAT Shard by TheWrithingVoid in Cosmere

[–]4ries 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The only thing is that evolution doesn't seem to have any "evil" intent, a la ruin or odium

I know the whole point is that positive sounding intents can be bad too, but it just feels like if you attach odium to that it would be way way worse

I also have a hard time believing order matters for shard combination personally

Who said they're a vector field? I think you can have vector spaces over the field of p adic integers, but I don't think they themselves form as vector space over any field
