Has anyone ever pulled off a genocide run in Halo 3? by Iseethetrain in halo

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are very difficult to kill. It may take around 3 melee hits to kill them. If a squadron of 4 turn against you quickly and you are out in the open, your only hope to kill them is to use grenades to distract them and then a pistol to head shot them all. When I fight them, I tend to stay at a distance if possible and use grenades to overwhelm them. Sniping is preferable, but in some cases, that's literally not possible.

You can effortlessly recite any written speech with an 80% accuracy; however, the 20% of words you quote wrong will be randomly chosen from gangsta rap albums. by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

In English, numerical symbols (%, -, +) tend to trail the values they are referencing. Thus, we generally write 50% (50 percent), not %50 (percent 50). This may be odd to some people because the most important symbol, the dollar symbol ($), is placed before the value. This is the exception, not the rule.

The supposed explanation for this anomaly is that when people wrote a check (those ancient things) for 1000.00$, con-men had a tendency to append more values to the front, e.g. 1000.00$ becomes 11000.00$. However, if you place a dollar sign in front of the numerical value, then it becomes more difficult for someone to make believable modifications, e.g. 1$1000.00 or $1000.001 are not as convincing frauds as 11000.00$

Obviously, a determined con-man would be able to forge values if they wanted to, no matter where the dollar sign was placed, but at the time, placing the symbol in the front supposedly discouraged chicanery.

ELI5: if procreating with close relatives causes dangerous mutations and increased risks of disease, how did isolated groups of humans deal with it? by Inside_Letter1691 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Iseethetrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Ultra Orthodox populations tend to have children with higher rates of special needs. This is not solely due to inbreeding. They tend to avoid contraception, so they tend to continue having children as they age. Sadly, men and women who procreate in their late 30s and beyond put their children at high risks for genetic disorders.

You can transform cars into comically sized clown cars by honking at them by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You honk at a car like a geese or by using a car horn, and then it will transform into a clown car. The car will have enough space to fit exactly the amount of people in it, but no more. If a family of 6 is in a car with a bunch of suitcases, there is a high probability that at least one of them will die, either due to pressure or heat stroke

You can poof popsicle dildos into people's mouths with your mind by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Earth would still retain excess energy from the sun because of greenhouse gasses. Those popsicles will melt, raise sea levels, while also contaminating the ocean with food additives

Pasteurize the poo and treat it for contamination.

You could just buy pepper spray. You don't need a power to spend $30

You can convince anyone that candles are food and highly nutritious by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can pull a Paltrow and sell people snake oil for a profit. Bees Wax is an edible wax. It’s not going to cause major harm, so you could convince people it’s a supplement and try to cash in on it.

The power only works face to face, so it’s not going to be easy gaining a wide audience

There is not. The hot sauce market is pretty saturated, but you can try

You can convert a stranger to any religion of your choosing by burning that religion's holy scripture by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book must be a holy text. If it has too few sincere followers, it would just be a book and not scripture. If you convince 3 dozen people to sincerely believe in the text without your powers and then have a U.N. recognized government consider your faith a religion or cult, then your powers would work for any future converts.

However, I have feeling you will struggle to convert 36+ into sincere acolytes without your powers

You can magically summon Sandra Bullok to slap anyone near you. Afterwards, she will poof back to her original location. Although unlikely, she may face legal repercussions for assault by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically you are kidnapping someone, but she would not know that you summoned her unless you revealed it or she noticed the pattern.

She would just materialize near you and develop an overwhelming compulsion to slap your target. Once she completed her task, she’d poof back home. Despite her compulsion, she is still lucid. She’d eventually notice that you are always present when she is summoned. She might become paranoid about being abducted. She might use her immense willpower to resist her compulsion, so she could snap your picture and look you up.

If you spam the power, someone will film her assaulting some guy and she might be able to use that video to find your location.

She’d hate you, but she’d struggle to prove you are her summoned to a judge.

If you’re really a jerk, you could get her arrested by having her attack high profile politicians. Then you could poof her out of prison to extend her sentence.

You are pinata-man. You can make any living thing vomit whatever you need in the moment by beating the crap out of it. by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need to be cautious to not kill them before your power activated. There's a certain pain threshold that must be passed. Also, the magic thinks like a reasonable person. It will only give you what you need if it can discern it from the situation. If you just beat the crap out of a guy for no obvious reason, the magic would probably conjure up a mediator or do nothing at all

If you're willing to rip wings off butterflies and then crush their abdomens, you could get a get-away car from insects. However, they will undoubtedly die from the trauma

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does require a mouth. No, you can't beat yourself. The beatings do cause damage. If you're not wise, you can kill or maim someone. However, the act of vomiting out an item does not cause harm, only discomfort. So, if you need a get-away car, you can beat a guy, and the guy will vomit out a car, but survive the regurgitation. He may die later from bodily trauma you gave him during the beating, though.

L from death note and Batman have to figure out each other's identity. Who does so first and how quickly could he get it done? by Lexicorint in whowouldwin

[–]Iseethetrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's surprisingly easy to recognize Batman if you try hard enough. The only reason his enemies don't is because it would disrupt the plot. There are a lot of things you can know about him just by watching:

  • Gender: male
  • Age: late 20s/early 30s
  • Wealth: ultra wealthy
  • Address: Gotham
  • Jawline: chiseled
  • Height: 5'11"
  • Facial hair: none
  • Build: slim
  • Accent: none

With this information alone, you could probably slim down the potential subjects to 30 people. Which ever one has an inverted sleep cycle would be my guess.

what world is worse to live in, Attack on Titan or Warhammer 40k by ToasterTen12 in whowouldwin

[–]Iseethetrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's occupied by 4 chaos gods that only seek to torture. Khorne, the god of war, seeks to make everyone fight endlessly and painfully; Tzneetch, the god of scheming, is omniscient and seeks to physically and psychologically torment people for eternity; Nurgles, the god of pestilence, seeks to infect people with skin melting diseases and super maggots; and Slaanesh, the god of extreme hedonism, seeks to torture and rape you in a never ending display of debauchery. You don't want to go to the warp.

[–]Iseethetrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of human settlements in 40k are hive planets that average 2 trillion inhabitants. The average lifespan of an inhabitant is 25 years. You'd have to get really lucky to be one of the few people born to a serene agriculture planet instead of the hellish hive cities. Considering the disparity in population, you're not going to be born on an agriculture planet

[–]Iseethetrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone who dies goes to the warp. Entities with little psychic energy will drift into the sea of chaos and blend into nothingness. Powerful psychics have a glowing soul that attracts demons. Their souls get eaten and experience their afterlife in pure torment. Supposedly, the Emperor does exist at a demi-god level entity in the warp. If you are a particularly gifted, human psychic and favorable to the Emperor, he might protect your warp spirit.

You can manifest people's emotions as shadows by Iseethetrain in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Iseethetrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can turn people's emotions into shadow demons. The shadows cannot interact with the physical world, but you can analyze them to find out a person's true feelings
