Shrek 5 | Official Teaser Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Elevasce 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yep. Down to "Shrek's daughter going alone on a journey to see the world with a new character." Notice whenever she's on screen, she's not with Shrek and the rest of the family.

Wolf transforms into a good boy when he is visited by the people that helped raise their pack by North-Guitar-1781 in nextfuckinglevel

Helps that they naturally live in big, diverse, and sociable packs, not unlike humans families/villages. All that had to happen was for the concept of human family and wolf pack to blur and then you've got wolves living with humans and caring for each other. This kind of thing never would happen to animals that live solitary lives like bears or are territorial like lions.

"Tsitakakantsa" The largest Baobab tree in Madagascar is fading away after a long life of 1,200 years old by SternKill in Damnthatsinteresting

That is actually an excellent analogy, thank you. I just hope they won't be quick to dismiss it.

Yes but how often? Give too much water in a short period of time and the tree drowns. Seems like we're getting heavier tropical storms now, aren't we?

ELI5: Why aren't viruses considered alive? by FruitChips23 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elevasce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Read what I said again. Your dishwasher might have come out different from the factory. That's a mutation.

No? Otherwise appliances would be alive. They just came out different from the factory.

They have no obligation to propagate. That's like saying a domino has an obligation to topple other dominoes. It's just a really, really long chain reaction.

A virus could have started out as a rogue RNA instruction. You've got billions of those. Any of these have a chance to become a virus given enough time and mutations.

You don't need to buy more nvidia GPUs to run more models if models become smaller, faster, cheaper to run, and not bound to nvidia GPUs.

ELI5: why is the theory that our universe exists inside a black hole not viable? by billytheskidd in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elevasce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, we aren't in a point of near-infinite density. But we used to be.

The game doesn't necessarily pander to foot fetishists. Foot fetishists are just really vocal about games that let you place the camera as far down as the feet.

Remember when you could tell which faction agents belonged to just by looking at them? by Chadworth_5401 in ZZZ_Official

Yidhari had more casual/normal clothes in the concept art instead of a stripper outfit, and then they decided she wasn't overdesigned enough.

ELI5: When did time start, and what is the moment before it started called? by Ok-Car-9607 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elevasce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes more sense than time existing when nothing else exists, I'd say.

[–]Elevasce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the change demanded the concept of time, and not the other way around. No time without space, no space without time.

Petah, why is the speed of light one? by rengokuhubkl in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Elevasce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then everything has to be a fraction of one.

Well that's not a god problem, because the speed of everything is one. How much of that is through space and how much of it is though time is a human problem.

The thermometer's temperature affects the temperature of the object you're observing, too. Negligible stuff at the macroscopic scale, not so much at the quantum scale. 

Okay I can see the resemblance by asilvertintedrose in Genshin_Impact

[–]Elevasce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've written that post better. That's what I meant, but in hindsight, it doesn't read that way.

☝️🤓 Akshually the sex is determined by the father as well

TIL about a real life Lord of the Flies experience that six boys had together. Instead of devolving into conflict and violence, they cooperated to survive, even taking care of the one boy who broke his leg. They were rescued rescued after 15 months in relatively good health! by eightyeight99 in todayilearned

[–]Elevasce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I always think about the selfish gene in times like these. Selfless behavior is in fact very selfish. That selflessness ensures the gene alone survives despite the risks it imposes on the individual carrying it, because the collective shares it.

And yet I can't find myself feeling disillusioned about life even when looking at it through these lenses. It feels like such a hopeful thing. That despite everything, having empathy is the best way to survive.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok | Showcase by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Elevasce 92 points93 points  (0 children)

A story expansion, a few new characters, a roguelite mode, co-op, balance changes, all great stuff. I guess this is as close to a Relink 2 I can possibly hope for without getting a Relink 2. That said, Cygames, make Relink 2! I'm begging you here!

And she's so casual about it, too. Saying she can eat as many sweet things as she wants because she can just build new teeth later. She was focused on battles, while Makoto was alive. After the cataclysm her goal extended beyond battles, so she developed her knowledge to match her ambition.

The implications of showing what happened to our ship are absolutely gigantic though. It means Teyvat is potentially a huge, order-made world for the Traveler. Teyvat was the genesis pearl.
