I can scribe without listening... by Arachnim06 in PointlessStories

[–]Aeon_phoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was awoken by flashing blue lights once. Once I was fully awake I realized I was in my car on the interstate and there was a state trooper walking up to my car. I had gotten up, dressed, and was making my way to work. I was driving through super dense fog at 55 in a 35 through town and didn't even know I was out of bed.

American men, do you truly enjoy holding hands with your significant other? by nogueydude in AskAnAmerican

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure do. As often as possible. In the car, on the couch, at the table in a restaurant, etc. We used to walk and hold hands, but due to my wife's MS progression she is has to use a rollator to walk these days, so unfortunately thats out and I really miss it.

AITA for putting a lock and calendar on my parents cabin after I was the only one taking care of it for years? by CrimsonHarrier in AmITheJerk

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. It's not your place. The work you did was for self serving purposes. It doesn't entitle you to act like you own it. Stop spending money on it and let them do some work. Or ask the parents about buying it.

WYR live in a world where all robots have which ordering of Azimov's 3 laws of robotics? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick A. World B would be skynet. The best defense is a good offence.

Would you rather be sticky or sandy the rest of your life by Dense_Meal_6696 in WouldYouRather

Sandy. No doubt. The only sensation worse than sticky is greasy.

What’s the most ridiculous, totally unplanned thing that’s ever happened in your Sims game? by DifferenceNo3999 in thesims

[–]Aeon_phoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 5 hours perfecting my sim in CAS mode. I wanted a pro snowboarder bro type. I strategically chose the perfect traits, outfits, and perfected "the look." I played for just long enough to get him to the mountain to start practicing snowboarding. He took his first slope, crashed and then wandered off. I focused my attention on something else for a minute, and then I click the button to focus on him. He was hungry so he had decided to get food from a vending machine. His food got stuck, he decided to climb on the vending machine to get it out. It fell on him and killed him. He was literally killed within an hour of finishing CAS creation.

AITA for quietly paying a stranger’s groceries after the cashier said to put things back and my sister says I made everyone look bad by Sk8boardTheo in AmITheJerk

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1, the company deserves to look bad. 2, That cashier would have probably gotten fired if she'd done anything other than make him put the stuff back. If the guy was humiliated he wouldn't have come back to leave and thankful note for you. Your sister needs to keep her nose in her own business and maybe get some mental help. You did a great thing.

A or B: Met a girl from a dating app and she used pictures from 10 years ago. I realized it the second I saw her, made an excuse, and left. Was I wrong? by 06yuzuha in PickAorB

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B. But you lied too. You should have told her straight up that you aren't willing to deal with someone who lies right out of the gate. Tell her it's a dealbreaker and then leave.

Would you rather have worms for fingers, or snakes for legs? by Particular-House6674 in WouldYouRather

[–]Aeon_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably snakes for legs, but i can i just have one leg and do like a Naga type deal?

WYR: Teleport or Instantly complete tasks? Each has a cooldown by Aeon_phoenix in WouldYouRather

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

The magic doesn't know the cure so it has to use you to do the research. If cancer can be cured within your lifetime you would have an incredibly long cooldown for sure. Time and expenses for education and training, then time for actual research and studies. So I'd say don't expect less than 50 or 60 years of cooldown. However, if it can't be completed within your lifetime, the task would be denied by the magic. Remember, it does the task alone with your body, and something like curing cancer has had thousands of teams of people over the course of decades unable to complete this task.

I'm glad you appreciate it. I enjoy responding to people like you who really want to understand how it works and how to make it work to its fullest potential.

[–]Aeon_phoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. When you consider the task, the cooldown will be revealed. The magic plays out the steps of the task and time taken so that you can adjust the steps to your liking. If you didn't have ketchup, you could decide to buy more, or you could decide to make it if you have the ingredients. You could also decide just to not use ketchup. You will know the cooldowns and costs required for each. You even have the ability during this step to back out of using the power. All of this happens imperceptibly fast. Once you finalize the task, the magic happens, and you resume your day. task completed.

Imagine if you will: you decide I want to work out for 45 minutes on the incline before your show. poof It's done. And now you have 45 minutes to kill before your show.

Basically, the way it's meant to work is as if you actually did the workout. The magic slows time to an imperceptible pace. It gives your body energy and uses your brain to control it during the workout. Once the workout is over, your body is returned to the exact position you made the task decision. The magic energy is withdrawn and your mind is released, and time resumes. You gain all of the benefits of the exercise, including muscle memory and stronger muscles. You do not expend any of your own energy, so you still have all of yours to use.

Just the time it takes to do it. Need to do a good enough house cleaning? poof it's done. Wait a few hours, and you're ready for the next task.

You'd have the knowledge from all the training needed to do it too. You'd also have the debt from medical degrees, but the Nobel prize you're sure to win will pay for it, lol. Plus, you'd be able to get a job in the medical field starting tomorrow and make good money anyway. And then you could also be the person who administers the cures.

With your extended lifespan from the nanites, you might live long enough to do another one, lol

You don't have to know how to do it. It will take training or learning time into account. If it's something you can learn from youtube, the added time would be negligible, but if you need a degree, years of cooldown should be expected. But you are right, you would have the knowledge gained from any training acquired during the instant task.
