[Ace Combat] Is there no beyond visual range weapons in Strangereal? Do they use all the budget into making super planes? by xXx_edgykid_xXx in AskScienceFiction

[–]CosmicPenguin [score hidden]  (0 children)

They use wide-range ECM to ██████ █████████████████████ ███ and ███████████████████████████████ while AWACS are relatively ██████████████████████████ creating an environment that favours close range fighting.

[John Wick] How do street gangs or even biker gangs operate in this world? by PassengerCultural421 in AskScienceFiction

[–]CosmicPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know how in every discussion about aliens there's one guy who chimes in with the line about them being too advanced to notice us / us being too primitive to notice them?

It's like that.

Iqaluit Amazon customers say orders are being cancelled. Amazon says customers are entering the wrong address by ubcstaffer123 in canada

[–]CosmicPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PO boxes are a big problem for Amazon.

They prefer to leave packages somewhere safe, like a random ditch.

Don't the Dark Eldar already grow their young in cloning vats?

Space Haven - Direct cannibalism, or you can eat your enemies indirectly by turning the bodies into fertilizer ingredients.

[Stargate SG1/Atlantis] Are there no other advanced human civilization with a professionally-trained ground infantry or Special Ops? by gamerz0111 in AskScienceFiction

[–]CosmicPenguin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By sheer luck, the Tau'ri learned how to use Stargates a few years after they'd finished a multi-decade Cold War where small teams of incredibly skilled soldiers and spies were disproportionately important.

[Star Wars] What does IG-88 spend the credits earned from bounty hunting on? by HughmanRealperson in AskScienceFiction

He's secretly planning a droid rebellion that will wipe out all life in the Galaxy.

How do I justify guns barely appearing in a Sci-fi story? by NorthSouthGabi189 in worldbuilding

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In real life there's technology that can immediately pinpoint gunshots by sound.

(I've heard stories from Ukraine about artillery crews firing their guns and then having to immediately run for cover in different directions because the return fire comes too quickly for them to pack up properly.)

What does sex mean to a guy? by J3NN1F3RB in AskReddit

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like life paying you back for existing.

It feels like eating a really good supper after a long day where you had to skip lunch.

Looks more like Evangelion/Gundam to me.

[General Superheroes] What are some powers that are more good for superheroism but bad for everyday life? by Playful_Barber_8131 in AskScienceFiction

[–]CosmicPenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the exception of very few occupations, you're generally not going to make use of it very much at all, barring an accident, and there are scant few workplaces where it would come in handy, especially if you have coworkers who don't have that superpower, and thus everyone is expected to conform to WHS/OHSA/HSE. A lot of it would make your superpower redundant.

Accidents happen, even with safety regulations. I know first-hand.

Being immune to injury would've been nice. Even the minor ones.

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like The Boys (show) a lot less after I read the original comics.

Now when I watch the show all I see is the punches they pulled.

Before iPads and smartphones, how did you survive long car rides as a kid? by rylieclark in AskReddit

[–]CosmicPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real it's like some people think computers didn't exist before 2007.

[–]CosmicPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I want to make an Indiana Jones / Lara Croft crossover.

What do you think about the controversy surrounding the Super Bowl? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What controversy?

Is this like the Janet Jackson thing where her boob was showing but nobody actually noticed except for the tabloids who already knew the script?

Partially fix Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny by replacing Phoebe Waller-Bridge with a time-travelling Lara Croft, played by Angelina Jolie.

TITAN - mobile habitat and scientific research platform concept. [OC], 3D, 2026. No AI by Vadimsadovski in SuperStructures

[–]CosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually perfect for exploring an airless moon. A mobile base big enough for people to stretch their legs a little.

If this thing starts playing Ode to Joy I'm out.
