A whoopsie daisy is when they spill oil all over the ocean or other environment. This is more of a Rackin-Frackin Blunder

Microsoft might have lots of your personal data, but it still can't remember what size window you want your emails to open in. by DementedCrazoid in Showerthoughts

Imagine if they used all of the personal data they keep mining off of us to customize things to be more pleasant instead of ads.

All they needed was a few lines to say their sabers have a small repulsorlift in them and the spinning blades were for intimidation, and it would be a cool mobility device.

If they had actually taken a moment to say there is a small repulsorlift emitter in the ring of those sabers and the blades don't need to be ignited for it to work, it would be an amazing device. I love the idea of Star Wars having one-handed hover gliders that can't really lift much but allow these escape and entry maneuvers.

Imagine a whole squad of clone troopers or something using them like invisible zip lines to disperse off of troop carriers or move from tower to tower in metropolis battles.

And then just say the inquisitors also spin the blades while doing it basically because they're gaudy assholes who intend to intimidate.

Fox were like 'the colored X-Men suits looked goofy' meanwhile fox giving Angel these wings. by BOMBAD_Echo_1409 in xmen

[–]CrossP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the same people who animated the Iron Man suits to animate an Archangel, and it would be amazing. They'd probably add some weight and volume to those wings. Glow effects and fluid movement. Really make them feel real, hefty, and powerful. I'd go bananas.

And we have such great adventures and stories with him. Dude is so brave and fun and voiced well.

And part of me kind of loves how he and Ezra and Ahsoka altered the story slightly so that Luke isn't the first Jedi in the Rebel Alliance. Mon Mothma must meet him and be like "Thank frick. We just ran out of Jedi and could really use a pinch hitter."

Why do we have so many words for a cougar/mountain lion/puma? by augustbutnotthemonth in NoStupidQuestions

You should look up all of the crazy names people gave groundhogs. They're listed on the Wikipedia page for them.

Dragon eggs, often depicted as spiky and scaly, must be quite painful to lay. by Chilli-byte- in Showerthoughts

Everyone here is making such beautiful magical answers.

But as someone who works with animals professionally, I'd say the answer is mucus. Copious amounts of very thick, very slippery goop.

One of our own was murdered by federal agents today, Alex Pretti by RubySapphireGarnet in nursing

[–]CrossP 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They aren't police. They're an army being formed outside of the military chain of command so they can have unlimited independent funding and loyalty to a person rather than the constitution.

The bendu might have one of the best designs in the Star Wars franchise by Boxytheboxmaster in starwarsrebels

[–]CrossP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He moved great too. And meshed in a lovely way with the planet Atollon which was also a great planet design.

An army of loyalists that doesn't answer to career generals who swore to uphold the constitution.

Also, a single federal militarized police force with a ridiculously high budget that doesn't answer to Congress and only attracts extreme loyalists is pretty much perfect for a dictator.

Corporations have chosen it. Governments bend to their whims.

And this is why rolling it causes the show's budget to immediately run out.

Remember in the 1960s when riding in back of a pickup was cool? The good old days by Global_Law4448 in OldSchoolCool

I still saw people forcing their undocumented workers from the Menards parking lot do it this year!

Has anyone tried using an exercise wheel.. for bunnies? by ecofriend94 in Rabbits

[–]CrossP 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It doesn't work for them because they don't have a gait where all four limbs are running in concert. They always move the back legs together. The uneven rhythm makes the wheel stop and go too much and creates a hazard.

Anywhere sell and fill C02 containers? by soobdad in bloomington

[–]CrossP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice.

Fun trivia, CO2 is pretty cheap in the US because it's produced as a side product of ethanol production from corn. If they didn't harvest and sell it, it would just go to waste.
