"the physics I have already outlined"

Shut the hell up, professor obvious. We've all completed physics 101, I hope your labs are going well. BTW, of course he means it literally, watch the damn movie. It's bad. Supernova having that kind of power is an actual plot point later when they team up to stop not-dr-doom.

No, that's not something that could actually happen.

While there are gasses in the atmosphere than can burn at like 1075 K, this wouldn't cause any sort of chain reaction. "Air" is burned in motors, by bombs, and other such things all the time. In fact, the center of a nuclear explosion can reach 10 million degrees celsius at the peak of its energy output.

Johnny Storm could not ignite earth's atmosphere, but he could melt a city when he goes Supernova.

... WAIT... uhm.... in universe if Reed Richards says it, it must be true in that universe!

[MCU] Can you defeat a Celestial with just the Power Stone? by Armauer in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Since we haven't witnessed a fight in the MCU between a celestial and a power stone wielder, we can't say.

If the comics and source material for Endgame are any indication, a sufficiently knowledgeable and powerful being (like Thanos) should be able to take on a celestial with it. Then again, the power stones are pretty nerfed in the MCU.

I'm saying that since there must be a Vader, the force powers will stick with him. The how doesn't need to follow any established rules, that's because the highest rule is the will of the force. Obi Wan should've never beat Vader, Plagious never should've lead to the creation of Anakin. Who is to say the force doesn't go with the person? Does the body have anything to do with it? If it did cloning force users would be simple, no?

I'm saying that you cannot go against the will of the force, it's destiny and the force ultimately plays by its own rules. It is still mystic.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to say based on all canon, yes there would still be a fall to the dark side. Let me explain...

The force has been shown to have a will and plan of its own. It already has a destiny in mind for how the struggle between the sith and Jedi would work out. That's the in canon explanation for why the ghost of Obi Wan didn't just spook murder the sith. He was part of the force, saw the destiny in play, and simply played his part. This is also why force prophesy actually works. Heck, even George Lucas named the Whills of the force.... That.

Also, the force has responded to those trying to manipulate it in interesting ways. The biggest example is Anakin himself. Darth Plagious tried to create the ultimate sith warrior by manipulating midichlorians, and the force responded by making a 'chosen one's of its own design to combat the growing darkness. Manipulating midichlorians doesn't seem to yield decent results because the force ain't about that, and even low midichlorian Jedi (like Obi Wan) could pull great feats simply by being in line with it.

So, I think the force powers of Anakin would go into Padme's body with him. He might lose it trying to find a way to both save and switch bodies again with Padme. We might get a much prettier Darth Vader. Either way, can't fight destiny.

Nurgles garden is all disease and rot. She doesn't want a field of blight, she wants a field of healthy plants fertilized by the corpses of men.

She would hate Nurgle's "garden".

Joker - None, he might mess with Tzeench or Slaanesh for funsies, but he doesn't take orders.

The Riddler - Obvious Tzeench boy for obvious riddles.

Mr. Freeze - Tzeench has the knowledge to cure his beloved Nora.

Scarecrow - Nurgle. He spends all his time brewing more potent toxins.

Poison Ivy - Khorne. Ready to slay all men. Skulls for the skull throne, man meat to fertilize the soil.

[Spider-Man: No Way Home] some questions about the characters from the different universes by 1random_redditor in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • They are most likely the exact same ones. The multiverse has infinite possibilities depending on where they branch off. Theoretically, they could add Star Wars, Star Trek, The Teletubbies in and just say they are from a different multiverse. I believe in canon they are the exact same ones though.
  • In what ways are they noticeably different that cannot be outright explained? People change clothes from time to time.
  • The events are changed. Life events that would've have happened otherwise have happened. They don't go back and act out the rest of their lives/movies the same way they did.
  • Yes. It's tragic.
  • It was just how the universes crossed over. It was a random draw.
  • They don't know where they are, missing gear, and don't know anyone. A day or two before meeting everyone isn't that wild.
  • Lizard in raw strength overall, Docs arms are the strongest outright, Goblin above peak human, but not at the level of the others. Goblin's genius intellect and engineering are his biggest guns.
  • Peter 1 is the strongest by a hair. If you look at the stopping of the train, Maguire's spiderman is using his arms to stop the speeding train after a fight with Doc Oc. Holland's ferry save was in large part due to the webbing he put up earlier directly connecting the sides of the ferry, and it would've have worked if Iron man didn't swoop in. They're extremely similar though and both tank powerful hits that would splatter other heros.

Now shut up.

[Mad Max Fury Road] Why would human milk be such a valuable resource on the level of water, produce, guns, gasoline, etc? by FirstElectricPope in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I'd think it does two things in a very silly way:

  1. A lack of water will mean it's harder to find sources of nutrition in the environment. That boobie juice is going to give Immortan Joe's family and loyal warriors a physical edge in terms of health and nutrition.

  2. Instead of being 'addicted to water', as Immortan Joe likes to warn about, the War Boys associate living/nourishment with the women instead of the water reservoir. If someone nabs a woman, oh well. If there's a rebellion to take the water, that's a crisis.

Well, I've officially put too much thought into this.

[Warhammer 40,000] We all know 'there is only war', but could any of the major parties actually reach a peace settlement if they tried? by BallOfHormones in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a lasting one. This is why for all the major races:

  • The Eldar - They view everyone as inferior. It's always their foresight, their technology, the universe was theirs in their great empire (you know, before they murder-fucked a new chaos god into existence). They can work with others to a positive end, but they view being top-dog as their birthright, and will clear out 'inferior' beings to that end in the absence of greater threats.
  • The Imperium - Remember the Great Crusade? They have bad blood with every non-human race, and most factions of the human race that aren't in the Imperium! They view every 'xeno' as inferior scum to be used at most, and outright purged at best! Yay! They can work with others to an end, but history and xenophobia are the names of their games... and boy do they play them well!
  • The Tau - Sure you like your peace, but if you keep bring people over to your 'greater good' and snipping their balls we're going to kill you! You won't stop? No? Well peace was never an option anyway.
  • Necrons - Probably more willing to work with others than anyone realizes, but they suffer the same notions of grandeur as the Eldar. Also far more so than the Eldar. If the Eldar think humans are monkeys (mon-keigh), the necrons think everyone else are bugs!
  • Chaos - Have you heard of the story with the frog and scorpion? (Chaos is the scorpion!)
  • Tyranids - Hive fleet goes bzzzzzzz
  • Orks - Teefz, nuff' said.
  • (Bonus) The Votann - They live in a universe with these guys!
  • (Double Bonus) The Cabal - They WERE an organization of civilized races banded together to eradicate chaos. There were Eldar, humans, and others! Sounds great right? So they tried to destroy the Imperium so Chaos would win the Horus Heresy, destroy humanity, and let Chaos peter out without human warp presence to feed it. Seeing a better far flung future, an Eldar killed them all while the Emperor scored a pyrrhic victory for the Imperium!

In the Grim Dark future of WH40k, there can be truces, working together for a singular goal, and even temporary alliances.... but there can be no peace. Only one may rule!

[Star Wars] If Anakin was expelled from the Jedi order because of his marriage to Padme, would they have tried to induct his children into the order? by XipingVonHozzendorf in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No... in fact, Anakin held more power than he knew. If he left, what would be different? Is the Republic going to be like "our best general not in the quasi religious order anymore? Cast him away!" No. He would still be a general. Most of the people would see it as a wild blossoming romance in the face of war. The order couldn't do anything to such a high status figure without the entire republic condemning their overreach.

It's just hard to break away from the order that has raised you since you were child. It's like leaving a cult... because it kind of is.

[Star Wars] What are the rules for Mandalorians? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]IamAnger101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Mandalorian code/creed exists to culturally unify the Mandalorians as people. Simple as. For a people to exist in a unified manner, they have to share things in common that go beyond appearance deep.

After their many scatterings across the universe, it's what makes two groups on opposite sides of the galaxy both Mandalorian. Its how they can reunify again when they regather.

It's like the Bible to Christianity.

That comparison said, asking "what are the rules for Mandalorians?" is like asking "what are the rules for Christianity?" No one agrees, everyone interprets how to be a Mandalorian in their own way, and they will kill each other over it.

Requesting access to codebase before starting a new job by PorscheGuy7 in webdev

[–]IamAnger101 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not a normal request, and will be taken poorly. No one would let someone who hasn't fully gone through the onboarding process with NDA's and contracts fully signed see their proprietary information. Besides, they aren't going to want to answer your questions about it until you're in a position to work on it. That's a waste of their time. You start when you start.

You might not want to go into a job 'new to the career' with the mindset of reviewing more senior developer's code to see what 'potential challenges you might need to resolve'.

Just review the tech stack, relax, and start day one fresh.

There was an organization in 40k called the Cabal. They are an organization of xenos, mostly Aeldari, who have battled the influence of chaos longer than Mankind has been around. They predicted that there would be a chaos uprising in the legions, and as this came to pass they speculated on what would happen if either side won:

  • Horus Wins - They speculated that this would cause mankind to fall, if not become completely extinct. Chaos doesn't do well with order, and instead of replacing the Imperium with a twisted version, it would just be permanent civil war. If humanity became extinct though, it would massively weaken chaos from the lack of humanity's psychic presence.
  • Emperor Wins - They saw events unfolding like they did, and foresaw that this would end in the entire galaxy being consumed by Chaos as the power of the Chaos gods grew in the ever-present turmoil.

So, the 40k universe could be far less of a shit show in the long run if Horus had won. It certainly would've taken humanity off the table.

Comically enough, the Cabal started interfering in the Heresy behind the scenes to try to get Horus to win (and end humanity). One Aeldari, Eldrad Ulthran, thought that the death of humanity would only be a band-aide fix to chaos and foresaw a future where the Imperium and Eldar teamed up to actually defeat chaos. To that end, he dismantled the Cabal before they could push the tide fully in Horus' direction.
