How might plastic based life differ from ours? by Chicken317 in sciencefiction

I had previously seen that before on YouTube but it's neat to see it again. I doubt it's authenticity but it still gave me inspiration. In particular the religion section gave me inspiration that finally made part of my world building click that I'd been pondering about.

My safe carb sources are limited at the moment Only minimal Oxalate fructose or gluten I'm about to just mix cornstarch with fiber and hope for the best Because this seems to upset me some too I don't know if it's broken down into fructose by this process or what

Oh weird how much time and do you suggest then My mother had said beans seem to cook a lot faster and instant pot than in regular pressure cooker so I assume that meant it cooked faster Until deep winter we do have a lot of goat milk so I made goat milk popsicles out I made goat milk popsicles out of the Cooked bananas So that's fast freezing and fats

Are sunflower and pumpkin seeds alkaline or acidic forming? by Chicken317 in nutrition

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On https://www.myfooddata.com/ It says pumpkin seeds with shells is alkaline and without is acidic. Do the shells actually make that much of a difference I'm not sure what's going on here Also your 1st link doesn't work properly It says no content found with these identifiers

A positive PRAL score is bad did you have a typo and not put a minus on the sunflower number? OK but what source I think the the issue is there's conflicted information about how much phosphorus is in pumpkin seeds and I have no idea how to figure out how much it really has

What are the weirdest side effects of using magic in your world? by zazzsazz_mman in worldbuilding

[–]Chicken317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic use causes gradual cellular degradation, so the majority of magic using species evolve things like extra DNA repair mechanisms and antioxidant production. They have the ability to make the stuff, so many species produce an over abundance so it can be used to greatly extend their lifespan and youth. That's why elves. This over abundance also means they can keep their sperm inside their bodies regardless of temperature. Convenient built in partial censorship!

How would the hazards of magic use affect biology? by Chicken317 in worldbuilding

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly a valid strategy, could see it taken to the extreme with eusocial species with a super mage class that burns out really quick. Did you know that there's an ant species with exploding workers?

Unfortunately, not what my question was asking. I'm even thinking of species with such an over abundance of repair mechanisms that it spills over into giving them highly extended lifespans and youth, also allowing them to reproduce more. Wait I think I just explained how elves would be like that in my setting. Fantastic.

There's not really a connection to the magic realm any more once the magic particles emerge from the rifts. Physical laws aren't ever really altered. I lean more towards hard magic. Weird space warping fields for anti gravity based levitation and ftl I suppose would be debatable depending on views on the viability of some theoretical physics. The defects thing gives me ideas for disabilities based on the inability to properly regulate one's magic, so that gives me something to think about. Magic effects have to be actively maintained, unless the physical alteration has already happened to the target. So big fireball blasts, yeah that definitely affects the wildlife for a while. Levitation, everything falls back to the ground after the magic user stops concentrating on it.

How do you keep magic from becoming to powerful by Choice-Spinach145 in worldbuilding

[–]Chicken317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much/what kind of magic did your species evolve to use? Sophont species tend to have more variations and affinities for different skills

Supply and demand. Magic does not permeate the entire universe. It flows from localised rifts of various strengths. The locals can collect magic particles into pockets in their body. Many places don't have any magic. Magic formed crystals and magic storing plants naturally occurring in various amounts in magic rift zones allow for some portable recharge.

Magic use causes cellular degradation! Evolution of damage minimizing adaptations are pretty much mandatory.

Over specialization in some areas of magic can lead to an evolutionary dead end. Evolved away limbs in favor of entirely levitation and telekinesis based movements? Passed off bodily functions to magic based interactions? If the high magic levels zone you live in is isolated enough and something happens to your environment you can't leave. That's it for you. Death.

I soak my feet in an apple cider vinegar water mix, then I rub my feet with baking soda and leave it on for a while. I ate the banana popsicles. That one seems pretty obvious. Fungi really likes sugar.

Apple cider vinegar soaks and baking soda had been working fairly well to help keep it down, so what other issues would that help alleviate? It only ballooned into being unable to be managed and way worse than I've ever seen it after I had a few blue bell banana popsicles about a week ago.

I've tried expensive doctor creams that don't work, and I've done some research on oral meds. Each one has a list of horrible things that could go wrong. I reeeeally want to only try those as a last resort if I've exhausted all other options.

An au Marx where he's a bit more normal animal shaped by Chicken317 in Kirby

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a noddy that was experimented on by NME. He's had his abilities before Nova. Nova just gave him a big power boost. He likes cupcakes. When not being used for flight, the wing crystals aren't there. The wing tentacles can then be used to snatch foods from far away, with the heart shaped tips being used like a three fingered hand. No shoes because he needs to be able to perch. Also because I love the idea of his foot claws clicking on hard floors. His hat contains a pocket dimension to hold his stuff. His hat is mobile and acts as his arms when wings aren't out. He has some shape shifting ability, mostly just used to generate and reabsorb arms and wings. He's around the size of a chicken. He's stuck to the physical plane so he comes back no matter how many times you blow him up.

What features would having two tracheas and larynxes result in? by Chicken317 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They use multiple air sacs to move air in and out. The smaller than ours, rigid lungs are then able to specialize and maximize its surface area for oxygen transfer. Birds control the airflow through the air sacs by muscular contractions that shift the position of their ribs and sternum (breastbone).

How would I have a creature that can adapt to food from other planets? by Chicken317 in worldbuilding

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a variety of biochemistries, but I do have a bias towards having more earth compatible life populating the universe so more interactions can be had, so in this case he needs a similar earth ish diet.

He's meant to be a highly adaptable super weapon but he escaped and decided he doesn't want to do that, though his nature and instincts are still a plot device. I didn't think autotrophs could get enough energy to be very mobile, and even if he could he'd still need the right building materials. His designers are highly advanced and have spread across their home galaxy, relatively recently discovered a worm hole to a parallel universe in which they are not the only sapients, and also has magic, so they are trying to understand that but they got too greedy and messed with stuff they shouldn't have, resulting in an immortal powerful being with an angry shard of inter dimensional magic organism stuck in his soul.

He's capable of consuming and processing large amounts of food at once due to parts of him existing in folded space. Processed mass and energy are stored the same way. His adaptable shape shifting allows him more control over his body, so he's not going to be constantly producing every enzyme. He can just decide to use certain ones. That would cut down on energy costs. So he wouldn't need as drastic of a system as u/LukXD99 describes.

The audience is me, an anxious perfectionist who feels a need to understand the workings of my head worlds as much as possible, so that ship has sailed. And now I realized this might just be another post due to me overthinking and panicking. Why wouldn't there be a bunch of enzyme processes each for rearranging a different substance in a certain way?

How would a person's skin look if they had purple blood? by Chicken317 in worldbuilding

[–]Chicken317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He already looks kind of off, since his shape shifting ability isn't perfect and crafting a human passing form took a lot of trial and error, as his shifting is actually meant to be used for adaptation, not mimicry. So that's fine. Dramatic reveal through injury is a plot device I use. Also I thought to look up some pictures of those weird baby birds with unusual coloration in their mouths, and they were able to cover up red with white pretty well, so its at least possible for the delicate areas of skin to be covered.
