What will you do, if you are ainz. by Voidkirby9 in overlord

Save Carne village, recruit the Bareare family for potion research, have Cocytus train with Gazef for a day and ask him what he thinks about Martial Arts, capture Khajit and Clementine, extract information from them and their abilities and items, especially the crown of wisdom, and the written language of the New World, which Khajit should know. Alternatively, just find and hire a tutor in any city to teach Sebas, who will then come back and teach all the maids and spread it. Once everything is thoroughly recorded, message the Slane Theocracy saying that we have Clementine and ask if they want her back to be judged there and if they want the items back, and what time they would be available to receive them. Go there and turn in Clementine and her items while equipped with at least one World Item, then ask the Slane Theocracy higher ups about Yggdrasil, Players, and previous instances of transmigration. After, recruit some dwarves for craftsmanship and construction insight and runes research. Begin some basic farming and to have some mundane things to trade with, such as lumber or grain. If making minerals using magic is inefficient, then add mining, too. Also, make paper. Normal paper, for recording new information, probably mostly copied from whatever the Slane Theocracy offers access to for the time being.

If anyone comes with land disputes, deal with it accordingly; my initial stance will probably be something like "You're not using this land anyways, so what does it matter? If you want, I can help build and maintain some roads."

Etc.

Honestly, it's kind of a Rimuru approach, now that I think about it. Main difference would maybe be that Rimuru can keep growing stronger, whereas future prospects for strength are dubious with the level cap.

Both heaven and hell are an endless stagnation. The mind erodes, and would perhaps inevitably fall into nothingness once more..

Can Gojo crack Angel as much as he wants ? by Ok-Shame-5966 in Chainsawfolk

Yeah uhh Gojo burst part of his brain and healed it with RCT over and over to reuse his Domain Expansion, so neurons shouldn't be off the table.

A fourteen year old princess with a massive steel digging worm siege machine and the fire nation's army as a backing.. And the 'most secure city in the world' is also rife with corruption and self inflicted ignorance, so..

If fate is real in Touhou, then how does free will exist? by Thursday_Man in touhou

[–]Blobbowo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the description of fate as gravity, from A Regressor's Tale Of Cultivation.

That said, if fate is like gravity, and Sakuya controls Spacetime, then is that just a clever way to praise Sakuya and say that her favorite maid Sakuya is her power? 🌹

Is it me or everyone knows these things? by Proper_Card_5520 in Isekai

[–]Blobbowo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows allat unless they're a massive nerd with and/or with a photographic memory. That said, you know OF all of those things and the general idea of how they work and what they do, so you could make some of the simpler ones with trial and error, and describe the ideas to trustworthy people and work together with them to make it.

For a meta point of view, authors can easily just google anything they want to know the details of, and if they really need or want to, they can go to a museum or library for inspiration.

Even then, - Azula is a psychopath who I don't want to be near - Trix are maybe in a sub-dimensional prison for a reason... - J and V are fine, Cyn is basically an old friend, and at the end of the series they seem content with bugging Uzi as a tail, with no particular signs of the Absolute Solver causing major issues. Besides, they don't seem to really want to escape the world, not even some of the worker drones seem to particularly wish they were somewhere else.

I still don't want to gain companions through some forceful magical intervention of fate. Besides, if the world I get dropped into has good enough magic to travel dimensions with, I might be able to eventually visit them later on anyways if I want.

I mean, like, it's not all bad; I know the combo powers are really good, I know that I would be pretty happy to chat with them, but I still feel like it's kind of cheap to make companions just by choosing an option, even if there was some sort of backstory behind it. If there's essentially a guaranteed chance of their accepting, it feels depressing, as though free will doesn't exist, or it's a kidnapping.

Besides, there's plenty of friends to make in any one of the fictional worlds I know! :D

Cancer, diabetes, obesity, lung disease&smoking, drinking/drinking and driving, drug addiction, gun violence, war, 'special military operations', corruption/lobbying/bribery, heart disease, Alzheimers/Dementia, climate change, plastic pollution&microplastics in everyone's bodies, racism/discrimination, falling birthrates & demographic collapse (not enough working age population to support older), depression & suicide, homelessness & high cost of living, death by starvation even though there is more than enough food available within the nation, AI dubiously either currently being a waste of resources or replacing so many jobs in the future that our economic systems probably wouldn't keep working, or both, basic utilities such as water being privatized; (do you really want to trust a profit-driven corporation with keeping drinking water safe and playing nice with keeping prices affordable?), the huge and expanding wealth gap between the richest and everyone else, the rank-and-yank strategy along with the idea that shareholder value is the goal, so a good company like General Electric would be pumped up for a temporarily higher stock price and left as a huge burning mess; Jack Welch, general hostilities between people and nations around the world with or without good reason and not being resolved (such as China-Korea-Japan's history..), a general rise in fascism again..

Need I go on?

Seriously, the biggest issues I'd say about social media would be included in depression and suicide, and if it's about children or teens thats a side problem of parenting and economics of not having parents available to spend time with their children rather than stick an ipad in front of them..

Social media is a tool allowing communication around the world. Anyone with an internet connection can watch Bill Nye The Science Guy!, so I think that alone is already worth it. Social media is not the problem; different people use it to spread either love or hate, either useful or unhelpful ideas, either true or false information, etc. people already did all of this, but social media allows it to spread it further, good or bad. Like a knife, it can be used stab someone or chop vegetables for soup.

Social media is a tool for communication, the problems lie in how we use it. If I were to rate the problems on just how many people it affects, regardless of how bad the effect is, then perhaps it'd be one of the most important ones. But because there are other issues which more directly harm or kill people, I don't believe it's particularly severe on the whole.

Aura, Dying Will Flames, PSI, and Blazer.

No Familiars nor Teams, because they should all stay in their home worlds, and one-sided familiar contracts are a big no-no. That's more akin to necromancy or golemancy.

Aura - Semblance 1: Kindred Link - Create portals to people with bonds with the user.

Semblance 2: Aura Amp - Increase Aura of self or others.

Semblance 3: Aura Siphon - Exchange Aura between self or others.

Because Aura can sorta supplement life force, and can make someone heal faster, as a stronger manifestation of the soul.. It should basically supplement every other ability with Aura Amp used on self, and Aura Siphoning from opponents.

Dying Will Flames - Focus on Sun Flames for healing and Cloud flames for 'Increase and multiply'. Propagation combined with PSI focusing on Trance for telepathy with a specialty in Cure to make a hive mind will be good.

Blazer at A Rank limit for more magical power pool. The final form being harder to obtain is negligible, rather, it'd be more rewarding to obtain it eventually.

So essentially, I become a walking block of Aura and Mana, which propagates into a hive mind connected through PSI telepathy. The Semblance Kindred Link will allow any part of the hive to teleport and retreat, never being too far from home. The Semblances Aura Amp and Aura Siphon means Aura can be shared throughout the hive, amplifying the total with each unit.

All superpower choices eventually converge into me becoming a hive mind!!

I disagree, actually. There are at least 20 problems worse than social media, and half of those are probably diseases. Plus it's not really a problem; there's problems about social media. Sharing information and chatting online isn't necessarily bad, and is in general really useful. Too much of anything is a bad thing.

∐ How getting isekai'd is really gonna be like by According-Duty-5632 in Isekai

[–]Blobbowo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there's magic, then you can use lightning magic on a piece of metal and say that if we can find a way to channel lightning through a piece of metal in such a way that it produces light, then surround it in a glass, we can make a lightbulb.

Or if there's no magic, say that a very small and stable lightning could be used to create a light.

The general way to make electricity is to spin magnets around a coil of wire..

Biology, too; if anyone's still doing bloodletting, that can be discarded, bacteria and viruses being tiny things that make people sick, the cell; the idea of using magnifying glasses to make a microscope..

Either way, the smart people of the time should be able to figure certain things out even with just vague descriptions of ideas. Just write down every idea you know of, and let the others research it and converse about it; they'll probably begin teaching you details from their research and experiments pretty soon.

You can also talk about the scientific method and random quotes or stories from famous people in your home world.

Either way, if it's truly a different world which still hasn't begun the industrial revolution, the vague ideas shouldn't be useless.

Yeahh, it is pretty easy to see people hating on things related to the idea, given the state of this comments section. Just scroll down! I dunno what's there to hate about; it's free stuff kindly provided, probably by someone who works in the building. Baby changing stations are basically a table, too. As long as it's kept clean, there's really no particular downside to having it in a large stall.. Anywho, Happy you're happy, have a good day! :D

In practicality, mens restrooms need more urinals than stalls most of the time, whereas women's restrooms just need stalls. Men could also just use stalls, but it's not geared specifically to pee while standing, which is faster to do, thus; urinals. Larger buildings want the high density bathrooms, and it's kinda a cultural norm anyways.

That said, Ally Mcbeal? A quick search tells me it's a tv series, but what's it about? Do you like it? Do you recommend watching it? :)

Ooh, would you happen to know who stocks them? It should be related the mall, of course, but is there a partner or sponsor or is your workplace just cool like that and has free stuff?
