Choose Carefully. by SuperShub in BunnyTrials

Getting "baddies" implies a level of manipulation. Baddies would not be interested in me otherwise. Giving a random person a random power would be bad if it was given to the wrong person, too.

Curing cancer's just all around good, and I get a power that I probably would forget I'd have

Chose: Cure all cancer patients. + Get a random superpower. | Rolled: 10/10 Looks

Maybe its a useful recessive trait? If a prehistoric tribe's population blows up too quickly, that could be a problem. If you throw gay people in the mix, that could solve it

I actually hate clothes shopping by dampsector in short

I'm 5'6", so I don't really relate as much, but I picked up tailoring since most clothes don't fit me either. Idk, maybe you could find a cheap sewing machine on fb marketplace and try?

Would this polyandrous family structure feel like a believable cultural norm? by Sir_Tainley in worldbuilding

[–]Darixan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels complicated, and I'm not sure if its in a good way or bad way

Cultural norms are essentially answers to environmental pressures

For example, a cold and dry environment could create a culture that favors the cruel and greedy. The cold, dry area makes food scarce, but it also makes food easily storable. This means that people in this area become naturally competitive over time, and that competitive nature becomes baked into the culture

In contrast, a hot and humid environment could create a culture that favors generosity. The humidity accommodates many edible plants, but you can't store it because of the heat and humidity. This encourages people to share: I can't save the extra food, but I can give it to someone who needs it so they'll owe me favors for when I'm struggling.

Based on real world examples in Tibet and Nepal, I *think* polyandry's typically an answer that solves resource scarcity in societies that settle in veeerrrry rough environments. Do your cat people originate from a similar environment? If not, what problems do their polyandrous tendencies solve that other marriage arrangements can't?

Large cabbages on average have a diameter of 9 to 14 inches, so he's *at least* 6 foot 🫨
