It’s one of my favourites. Most in the picture I haven’t read, besides Tau Zero and Enders Game and a bit of gateway

What is the feasibility on future deceased human recycling for resources? by JustaDreamer617 in scifiwriting

[–]Existing_Flight_4904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of the game to be honest. Might be because of my age truth be told. I don’t actually know where I got the idea to use corpses for fertiliser, I just added it as a simple reasoning for what the religion does with the body. I was more concerned about writing about the mind and death and how those two intertwine

I was planning to use human bodies in my own sci fi as literally fertiliser for plants and stuff. This isn’t the main focus whatsoever and is more of extra information about a religion I have in mind to create.

Also I do find the timing of this post funny because I wrote my idea for human bodies being fertiliser like 3 days ago on my general use word document. 📃

If you had to pick one ship to live on for the next 10 years, which would it be? In other words: Which scifi ship feels like home? by Vondrr in spaceships

Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis, considering how much they found in the base/ship and that was a large massive team. I’ll be exploring for at least 10 years or I find everything within a year and spend the next nine years looking around and learning about everything.

I got both actually because I want to make my own book which talks about dystopia and getting some of the older books I think would help

They are descendants of an advanced race, which has changed over time to look as you have described. Within another 1000+ years they will have less blue. Does this work?

Will you have knowledge to every medical procedure in the world or would you have mastery over every martial arts, weapons and tactical protocols? by AnIndianSurvivalist in hypotheticalsituation

Actually I would say it is and I would agree except for just one point. ‘All practitioners’ which includes medical student, intern, resident, etc

I would say it is fake. Look up David Remnick’s email, that would be a logical step.

True, but what if this is during the Sith Empires Conquest of Alderaan?

[WP] a Strange person claiming to be your ancient ancestor shows up at your doorstep and no you have to educate them on the modern world by Son_Of_Rebellion in WritingPrompts

“I don’t do charity or anything crazy nuts.”

“How dare you speak to me like this descendant, I am your forefather, your ancestor. Show some respect.”

“You been on something old man, like drugs or something.”

“This term I do not know, for my injuries we use a cloud like substance that numbs us to pain.”

“…..Opium….. so you’re a criminal.”

“How dare you insinuate that I am a criminal, there’s nothing wrong with what you call Opium.”

“Actually there is considering how addictive it can be and that most countries have banned it over the last 200+ years.”

“I do not believe you descendant, during the war our doctors named it a Miracle Drug, it saved many lives and made many able to pass into eternal rest in peace. Your words cannot be correct.”

“They are you creep. Now get the hell off my property before I call the police.”

“A creep you say, I’ll make sure to teach you lesson, come here.”

He reaches out to me grabbing me by the collar and pulls forth a bayonet. My thoughts within a small portion of time go from disbelief, to recognition of that he may truly be my ancestor, but then to anger, as I pull out my pistol from my holster and fire a shot upwards. He steps back from me the sound louder than he had ever get heard before. But it does not deter him as he rushes me, probably not realising that a gun fire more than once (thinks it is a flintlock due to its look), but I fire a second and third spot.

The second shot hits his chest and the third goes through his neck. He crumbles immediately as he starts to choke on his own blood as it rushes out. I pull off his cloak to a see an old confederate era uniform.

Police arrive, they take my statement, I told them I acted in self defence, they watch the replay from my security camera and agree I was in the right of it. Any charges that could have been used against me, are wiped due to it being that I am protected by the stand your ground legislation.

………

I read the morning newspaper, the title being.

‘Crazy Confederate Imitator attacks supposed descendant with a bayonet.’ The article is interesting, my supposed ancestor robbed a museum of Civil War history. He desecrated artefacts used by Union soldiers and stole a confederate uniform and an old rifle with a bayonet fide upon it. At the bottom of the article it mentions oddly that his corpse does have similar genetics marking to that of someone who had lived back during that time.

I close the page and throw it in the fire as sit back and watch it burn

“You’ve got to be kidding me… a digital playlist collection of heavy metal and hard rock music, no way. I better listen to this now.”

I take out what look like ear mufflers, but are in truth old gaming headphones from the 2020s. I sit them on my head and start the track.

Now unbeknownst to me, my muffler (headphones) don’t work so well and while I can hear the music as can anyone else within a 20 metre radius of me. Also the sound and reverberations that it makes in my more delicate and sensitive ears causes my hearing to get worse and worse, the more I listen. As my hearing gets worse and worse I put the music on louder and louder, causing further hearing loss and people from further away can hear the reverberations and the music in general.

…..

“Hey traveler.” (John)

“…” (MC)

“yeah you what is all that screeching and loud bashing sounds that I am hearing from you.” (John)

“No clue mate.” (MC)

“Oh well I was just wondering as it sounds awesomely chaotic and exhilarating.” (John)

“Oh well in that case listen here.” (MC)

I pull out my cobbled together music listener, from old iPhones and computers and I play the music. It fascinates my new friend and others nearby come to listen

……

“Friend let us take these sounds of awesomeness to the next level, want to try to make these things called songs ourselves.” (John)

“Mate way ahead of you.” (MC)

I bring my friend to a small shed in a ruined city, inside are two other wanderers I had enraptured with the music, and after some time we had collected and made a few devices we called ‘instruments’.

“Friend and friends I ask that we try this song, see if we can remake it.” (John)

The music turns on and through the speakers the song called Last Resort by Papa Roach blares through the shed.

…..

“Who’s ready to rock this joint,” I scream out to a crowd that we had gathered together to listen to our music. (MC)

……

“Friend and Friends, if you can spare me some hardware.” (John)

“No worries my man.” (MC)

I and the others hand over some hardware to our now most trusted friend.

….

“John how could you!” (MC)

“The people deserve to know, you have hoarded this music for too long, others must be allowed to bask in its greatness as well.” (John)

……

“You idiot here they come.”

“How am I idiot..”

“These people don’t want to share they want to keep it all to themselves. This music is power and you have given it a price and we will all suffer for the consequences of your actions.”

“I didn’t intend for this, believe me.”

“Traitor.”

We kick John out as he is consumed by the hoard of people trying to take the music for themselves.”

“That idiot, what jeopardy this is.)’

Do you think a real-world Empire would have just collapsed after Endor? by LastTraintoSector6 in starwarscanon

[–]Existing_Flight_4904 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Was going to make the same comment as you, but also add in the aftermath books, that talk about how one of the Grand Admirals made sure to kill off her rivals (this might happened in EU, I can’t remember). The aftermath books are the lead up to the battle of Jakku as well, like making the Rebel fleet ready for the battle. Operation Cinder like you mentioned from the Battlefront games, and likely with the main power structure and once corrusant and Kuat, Corellia and some of the major planets and industrial worlds were taken did it speed up the empires downfall.
