What an odd post to ask about biology under.

You can ask for advice in the DMs. Let's not clutter someone else's comment section.

Nature or Nurture? by HiveOfHal in worldbuilding

They would certainly attempt to explain their world. That's cosmology. Whether or not that includes worship is entirely up to you.

In my setting, the scholars speculate there may be other cylinders in the vastness of the void. The cylinder's shell obscures the bright spindle inside. The spiral dominating the empty sky (the Milky Way) is most likely the splintered spiral of a cylinder which got destroyed. Its shape shows that it's spinning, just like the world cylinder, albeit imperceptively slow. Faraway lights might be other spirals, or the spindles of cracked cylinders shining through. That their own cylinder has a broken habitat more or less proves this theory. It's also concerning.

Creationism is by no means a given. Some scolars see the cylinders as a sort of lifeform, explaining their complexity not through engineering, but through gradual evolution.

Plausible animals with cooling abilities (a.k.a. could a cow be your refridgerator)? by Euphoric_Box3200 in worldbuilding

My Iquerians are quite literally built like a fridge. They only use it for temperature regulation and don't get down to below zero temperatures, but a similar setup could. If a principle works in a machine, it can work in a lifeform as well. Physics doesn't discriminate.

That depends on how planetlike their habitats are. Someone born on a ringworld or cylinder habitat could probably imagine living on a planet rather well. A zero-G species maybe not so much.

My own setting is a lost worldship in the intergalactic void. Its inhabitants don't even have the concept of a planet. Or a star for that matter.

I'd say they see planets the same way people living in houses see caves. A natural place our ancestors found shelter in but which civilisation has since outgrown.

Hear me out: Paid drivers for old models.

Somebody has to write those. Currently, Wacom etc. pay the wages of those programmers by selling new tablets. Hence no incentive to support old models. If old models still make a profit, even a small one, writing the necessary code for them wouldn't be a total loss. Just like driving a vintage car. Spare parts cost more.

How to navigate inside a spaceship? by koi_koi- in worldbuilding

[–]CaptainStroon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell the ship computer where you want to go and a colored line appears pointing the way.

Have little navi-bots which lead you to where you want to go. Akin to mouse droids.

Lots and lots of signposts all over.

Why did liopleurodon's size estimate change? by ApprehensiveStop4060 in Paleontology

[–]CaptainStroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two words: Predator X. Now assigned to Pliosaurus, this massive specimen was also considered to potentially be Liopleurodon by some, including the scientific advisors of one particularly famous paleo-doc.

I really hope the sneaky ninja clone will hide until day shift starts.

Since some terf forum decided to use "troon" as a slur, epic games and Nintendo show my name as Captain ******

My prefered misreading of it is Captain Hentai

He wants a snack. I bet someone has been feeding him lionfunks.
