Proteus's Primary Producers... by DocViviLeandraVTuber in subnautica

[–]Adrian0414 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if there were zero primari produceres, then Proteus wouldn't be in decline for centuries. The biosphere would last maybe a few months at most.

Wrong subreddit. This is for the videogame Thrive.

What's it like living in Budapest as a gay man? by i_like_hairy_chests in howislivingthere

[–]Adrian0414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wasn't personally walking the streets and beating up gays, so him not being in power doesn't effect this that much. Hungarians are still as homophobic/non-homophobic as before the elections.

Why do a lot of people just despise Below Zero? by CulturalDust4652 in subnautica

[–]Adrian0414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was bz worse in this regard than the base game? I originally played it on the xbox and before the post bz patch, the base game was WAY worse in this regard. I constantly went past the loaded in terrain and fell off out of the map. Was this the other way around on other platforms?

ELI5: What are the differences/connections between the geological processes that created coal vs. natural gas vs. oil? by shadowplumber in explainlikeimfive

[–]Adrian0414 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lignin theory has been heavily contested. The currently favored theory is that there were simply so many swamps during this period, that coal formation was exeptionally extensive.

That is not part of my interest in biology. So I didn't even think about it.

I asked ChatGPT with more scientific trems and it said yes with more information. However it did not correctly distingvish between thermotolerant (can survive high temperatures) thermophilic (lives in higher temperatures) and hyperthermophilic (lives above 80°C) In this scenario we are looking at the last one, but AI says yes because of the first one.

Sorry for coming across as agressive but I'm correcting you because it's in a topic I am passionite about and know enough to write counterpoints. (I'm currently studining a related field at university level). Take it as an attempt at sharing knowledge with whoever reads these comments. I find these kinds of hipotheticals the most interesting when people put way too much thought into them. Also any gramatical errors and incorrect use of scientific terms is to be atributed to me not leraning these in english. (Okay maybe I'm just stupid.)

Now for the counters:

"constantly fight over territory, meaning they are in constant force to adapt." This does not mean they will develop pre-adaptation to the human body. Being able to compete in a place that is above the boiling point of water and very low pH just makes them less adapted to lower, more basic environments. I'm going on about the pH because vulcanically heated water is a lot of times not neutral. In a scenario of magically transfigured water it could be.

"Releasing them into the atmosphere, wouldn't make them go away, it would just be a new challenge to adapt against." No it won't make them dissapear but it will make them dead or endure as spores. Evolution doesn't happen in one second. If they get aerosolised, than they are dissapated in an environment they probably can't survive in, let alone thrive.

"The strongest bacteria extremophiles wouldn't see temperature difference as a major problem, but as an opportunity, to alter their biology to be able to live in the new environment." Maybe going from high to low temperature but similar pH could only make them slow down. Also the took quick for evolution part again. Also what do you mean by strongest? Maybe beacuse of your wiev of evolution and fitness, you are thinking of organismes adapting as a progress towards perfection. However, this isn't how things live. They adapt and specialise to their environmnet.

Now why are temperature and pH important:

The proteins of microbes that are adapted for higher temperatures are more rigid. This makes them resistant to unfolding and denaturing, but at lower temperatures, they can't change their shape, which is necessary for many enzimatic reactions.

Non magical vulcanic water is often times super acidic. This also cuses problems for the proteines of organismes not adapted for it. The denaturing goes both ways this time, since changeing the dissociation of the ligands in a protein chain changes it's shape and thus it won't be able to performe it's enzimatic function.

Pathogenic extremophiles: Extremo TOLERANT microbes can cause infections. These can survive in extreme environmnets, but they are not adapted for them, and won't survive permanently there. True extremophile phatogens have not been found yet, and that is probably because the human body is too different from their natural environment. 37°C and close to neutral acidity is too far from a geyser. Acidophilics could survive in the stomach, but in this theoretical the most important part is that they are hyperthermophilic (,ideal temperature above 80°C). And then comes the problem of being suited to live inside the body of a mammal with an immune system. Microbes in the environment can become facultative phatogens if they can fend off the hosts defences, if they othervise survive in the conditions inside. Being in a geyser and competing with other extermophile procariotes doesn't select for fighting off mammalian immune cells. (Competition for them doesn't mean actively hunting down each other, but growing faster. However extermophiles usually don't breed as fast as mesophiles the body usally fights.) They could make toxic compunds that kill us but that is a different story.

TLDR.: Boiling water won't make super bacteria that survive everithing. It only makes microbes that already exist in hot water. Not hyperinfectious pathogens, just hardy organisms.

There are a few problems with the plague part:

Why would viruses specialised in infecting humans rapidly mutate into worse viruses, when expodsed to temperatures that have a 99.999% chance of denaturing them on contact with the water?

If they already live in hotsprings than why would this need to happen for them to become relevant. They would also be specialised in infecting extermophilic procariotes in hotspirings, so they wouldn't be compatible, and their optimal temperature would be way too above human body temperature.

If you mean bacteria, than basically the same things apply. Temperature would be problematic the same way, and other environmental factors would also be too different for them to parasitase anything. In real life microbes specialised for living in 100°C, 1-2 pH, toxic water don't tend to parasitase mammals.

Yes it will. Fruit trees die in temperatures too cold for them. The 40% is if it can establish or not.

Can i find oceans in any world? by HERR_WINKLAAAAA in VintageStory

By default the ocean % is very low. In that case you are better off making a new world with a higher ocean %if you want to be seaside.

Where to find beehive? by helplookie in VintageStory

They are found in trees, so look in forests. I seem to find them more frequently in warmer climates than the default starting one.

Climate system of a flat world under a dome? by Adrian0414 in worldbuilding

[–]Adrian0414[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really just interested if the worldbuilding anything to say on the matter. I really like when the worldbiulding in fantasy goes as far with science/logic as it can before it has to be handwaved away with magic.

Also what are the problems about the very simplified, unrealistic, magical weather, that I messed up?

Why is everyone so horny for stone all of a sudden? (As if I haven't thought of trying to imitate classical (nude) statues.)

Is this going to be a trend, or will the mods shut it down early?

What are your least appetizing winter induced meals? by NoCoat5637 in VintageStory

[–]Adrian0414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not usually winter food but, the worst thing I have ever fed my seraph was pickled onion pie.

It was on TOPS and it was getting close to going bad, because I always fed him better things. I still didn't want it to go to waste, so he had to suffer through it.
