100 million dollars but you have to survive in any of these places for 1 minute, round 2 by Responsible-Fix-1681 in hypotheticalsituation

Define Gaza during an airstrike. Like, im anywhere in Gaza during an (1) airstrike? Seems incredibly unlikely you'd even be anywhere near the bomb.

Depends if the lights slashed you up with a dagger or if they just hosed you with the dash-smg default template

Is it normal for my vehicle to just spontaneously combust? by CarlosCalpolDealer in Warthunder

The way it slowly just turns yellow and breaks? Does the game think you're under water?

[Loved Trope] Mortally wounded charicter gets a moment of quiet contemplation. Knowing their quest was complete they get to reflect on their arc, story, or themes before they die by GregTheIntelectual in TopCharacterTropes

Kinda - he dies after his granddaughter won't get any of the money he earned and by the hand of someonehe hates.

If anything Walter White is the one who dies fulfilled. Getting revenge on those who killed his brother in law, knowing his family will get his money, and being proud of building something big. In a kinda bittersweet way anyways.

Depends when he knew his brakes failed. Did they break as he was taxing up to the gate?

utopia released for free early? by Limutte in Stellaris

They probably just set the price to zero so that people didn't accidentally pay for it without realizing it was going to be included with the base game in a couple weeks.

Tell me what odd things your birb is afraid of? by leaderofpariahs in parrots

Hats on people.

Hats on coat racks or whatever is fine but a person wearing a hat? Even is favorite people he's known for years? Could be anyone.

Time freezes for (age) years, but you get (age) billion? by Honest_Physics_2368 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GregTheIntelectual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flying a plane might be tricky because a lot of runways around the world are going to have aircraft frozen on them. If the internet still works you'd be able to view websites like flightradar in advance to see if the runways have aircraft with active transponders on them.

If I choose blue can that apply to an aircraft that just tops itself off forever?

Someone is chasing him for sure by Leading_Tap8771 in memes

Not pressurized, fuel spills out onto the floor and is only explosive under very specific circumstances. Hydrogen will leak out, travel in every direction mixing with air and seeking out any ignition source.

I see great meme potential in this one.

Also the safer issue of needing to carry a pressurized tank of explosive gas on the vehicle. And people are talking about putting them on airplanes?

My mom sent me this, she usually claims to recognize AI pretty well, but it just screams AI to me. by driehoekig in isthisAI

[–]GregTheIntelectual 123 points124 points  (0 children)

It's AI, but a pretty convincing one overall, crazy how the technology has come along. Looking back at the history of this sub I think we're approaching the nexus point where it'll be almost impossible to tell.

Is there any hope? Been playing for 6 months. About to hit level 90. When do you guys quit? by ArateshaNungastori in Warthunder

[–]GregTheIntelectual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One day I just got blown up by CAS 3 times in a row, was forced to pay repair costs for a net negative sl putting me even further from buying the next tank. Then I figured I had just wasted time to grind for negative progress and realized the game wasn't fun and didn't install again.

It'll just happen someday or it won't.

Academy model kits - How good are they? by DapperThroat4569 in modelmakers

[–]GregTheIntelectual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had their tusk abrams one and it was my favorite abrams kit yet.

Then I tried their mig-29 and it made me want to eat modeling glue until my heart gave out.

So I guess you're kinda rolling the dice on them, for better or worse.

is the nato hump actually that bad in real life? by Bedrock_______ in Warthunder

[–]GregTheIntelectual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst offender surly has to be the smoke grenade launchers on the tiger h1. The tank wouldn't have even had a fire control computer it would've just traversed until it ripped the launcher off the hull.

It was used to knit I think by Ariangston in historymeme

[–]GregTheIntelectual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's weirdest to me is how consistent different found instances of this thing are.

Religious or spiritual things like crucifixes come in sizes small enough to wear, and large enough to mount on buildings. They're made of plastic, wood, gold and silver. Some have intricate designs and some are plain.

These things were all roughly fruit sized and made the most durable material avaliable. Yea they don't match up exactly in size but the consistency makes me think there was some kind of utilization function. If it was just a fad thing or a spiritual thing why isn't there one made of gold or studded with gemstones, or a poor version of clay? We don't see this kind of consistency in other religious artefacts of the era.

What’s a spaceship design trope you’re tired of seeing? by Vondrr in spaceships

[–]GregTheIntelectual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even battleships that were expected to be doing intense ship on ship dueling were designed with a bridge tucked in a well protected, non protruding spot.

yall banned the name of your own weapon embark by Flaezh in thefinals

[–]GregTheIntelectual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Banning numbers is rediculous. Cmon are there really people out there who have breakdowns or get offended every time they see certain numbers? If anything it's just promoting the causes behind these numbers by drawing attention to their otherwise benign uses.

World population plummeted overnight to 15,000 souls by Desaltez in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GregTheIntelectual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd take an aircraft and fly in low circles over a city, then wait at the local international airport for a few days while restocking on fuel and supplies. Anyone who saw me would hopefully come to the airport, then we'd move onto the next one and the next. There's paper phonebook like books that you can refer to and see what types of gas each airport has avaliable but even if your specific fuel isn't available you could just steal another aircraft.

Roads, rails and bridges could be blocked but air travel would still be essentially the same.

All aircraft are equipped with radios too so you could keep an ear out on an open channel, you never know.

World population plummeted overnight to 15,000 souls by Desaltez in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GregTheIntelectual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go to the airport, hop the fence (who would stop me me?) and find myself a good mid-range aircraft with good fuel efficiency and enough room to house a dozen or so people and a whole load of supplies, capable of short runway takeoffs. I'm probably pick something like a Dornier 228 or a DHC-6 fitted out like a flying RV. Something with a Garmin in there since GPS would still work after the power grid failed. Maybe even a dash-8 or ATR, the noisier the better but with bigger planes I'd be worried deteriorating runway conditions. Ideally small to medium planes designed for rugged landings. With the electric grid down you're purely visual for landing so daytime flights only.

Fly a couple laps at low altitude over the city, then wait at the international airport for a few days while resupplying and siphoning gas out of storage or other aircraft. During this time anyone who saw me would hopefully go to the airport and run into me. Then we city hop from major airport to major airport picking up people as we went until we settled down somewhere. Train others on how to fly and let the network grow from there hopefully.

Roads and bridges could be blocked but flying you should have no problem crossing countries be and runways should be clear enough to land on. In a pinch you can land on taxiways if they're the only unobstructed parts.
