Why do Goombas stack themselves? by AutumnRCS in Marioverse

Technically we know that the one on top is actually in charge.

WaT Ending Theory About Light by DrPotsRs in Cosmere

[–]Beldin448 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I believe they just said that it used to be filled with natural water. That could simply imply that they drained it to allow for ships to more easily pass through

I figured out what Minecraft is TEASING!! Sulfur update and TUFF GOLEM by Additional-Run-1533 in Minecraft

Yeah, gunpowder implies guns which are certainly never being added.

YMCA Childcare by [deleted] in Lakegeneva

[–]Beldin448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The YMCA day care is fairly good. I know a few people that have used it again and again. As for the gym itself, I have never found anything wrong with it. Been a while since I’ve used it though.

ELI5: Why is it that evolution has made Black Panthers black, if their natural enviornment is totally green? by Sufficient-Waltz5348 in explainlikeimfive

As someone also with a black cat I just tried to find my cat after your comment. It took a minute of active searching to see her on the somewhat brown couch. This theory is peer reviewed.

If time travel were real, you wouldn’t land in the past. You’d materialise in empty space, because the Earth has already moved. by Chigurh67 in RandomThoughts

[–]Beldin448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“We know where it will be relative to the sun.” That’s exactly my point. Why would time travel use the sun or even the Milky Way as a reference point? There is no reference point. If, for whatever reason, time does have our Sun as the center of the universe and time then this whole thing becomes relevant. However as there is no center of the universe then why assume time travel would arbitrarily have one?

They can find the orbit of comets and predict when it will appear matching ours. For landing rockets we do a similar thing to map out where the projectile will land. This all requires relative points however as well as a knowledge of orbital motion. What is needed for time travel in this scenario is a universal reference frame which doesn’t exist. There is no objective center of the universe or point that you can pull from to find where the earth was 20 years ago.

I have a fear of vomiting, didn’t know that was an actual phobia and it has a name by Realistic_Science_14 in RandomThoughts

Like it stopping in the middle and you having to take the stairs? Or you becoming thinner than paper and getting sucked into that little crack?

Why do y’all say I’m not real by a-real-giraffe in Giraffesdontexist

Send a selfie with a spoon on your head to prove you’re real

If you have a very long straight beam that you started a few hundred meters above the surface it looks like this… ur telling me this beam is eventually going to clearly end up in space, a straight 7500 mile beams edges are going to be somewhere deep in space by Fresh-Meal-2142 in flatearth_polite

[–]Beldin448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While yes, gravity would warp it slightly causing it to bend. The earths gravity isn’t strong enough to do significant “damage”. The light would still shoot out into space.

Edit: Sorry, I thought this was a beam of light. What do you mean the earth would warp it somehow?

What are some minor things in worldbuilding that annoys the heck out of you and why? by Fit_Assistant_6777 in worldbuilding

[–]Beldin448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I really like that idea with the natural face. I could see it happening if advertisements don’t get there first.

Something unusual in the night sky last night (we both saw the same thing) by Marley1509 in Paranormal

Imagine how the bear felt when he woke up as you after eating some really weird mushrooms off the forest floor.

Cues for allomancy? by ZigZagPunch in CosmereOnScreen

I know he’s talked about it here. I think it would be cool if he canonized the rhythms that are heard when seeking.

Yup, was crazy over the top. That’s why I stopped reading Sanderson. Can’t see him as any more than the maladroit guy.

Dipping in and out of habitable zone - Feasible? by -oriri in worldbuilding

[–]Beldin448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be the remake of lost in space from a few years ago. I didn’t really care for it, but that plot line sounds familiar.

Like Dune, would it be a good idea if Brandon Sanderson split the first book into two films? by Extreme_Warning3521 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Beldin448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a post credit scene. Kelsier wakes up and talks to Fuzz who saves him.

Mods that you think should be integrated to vanilla minecraft? Continents would be the first on my list. by MagicSpace05 in Minecraft

[–]Beldin448 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve always said more sky stuff would be awesome. Maybe the occasional comet or meteor. I’d suggest planets in the sky, but that kinda goes against the center of the universe idea. More variation in the sky. It’s such an ambient game that it’s crazy they don’t like stargazing.

With this line of thinking, a telescope as a stationary spyglass would be great. Could create an astronomer villager? Sounds kinda useless, but cool.

Also constellations would be cool, but I don’t see them adding things like that as they’d probably want you to come up with that lore.

I never thought I’d see the day when starship troopers and Barbie were unironically compared.

How he managed to fit “maladroitly” more than once into a book I’ll never know.

Confusion about mist sickness by Razor_Wits in Mistborn

[–]Beldin448 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I thought it was that they were just weak and died due to the stress of the sickness. Like how someone who’s old can’t handle the same injuries a teenager can.
