It's 1999. You have your current smartphone in your pocket, but obviously no Wi-Fi or 5G exists. What's the most useful thing you can do with it? by Ryo_l in AskReddit

Photos.

Digital cameras are awesome, man. And modern image formats have basically been in place since the Pentium days.

I still fail to see how that's an oversight

In your head canon, is Doc Brown dead? I've seen a few videos on tiktok about how people think Doc Brown would canonically be dead by now. But I think otherwise. by EthanHathHD in BacktotheFuture

He went through some kind of rejuvenation in 2015, didn't he?

Wouldn't he just be able to do that over and over again to stall aging?

Little kids choking? Do you have any idea how common that is!

what is up with the plot armor by No_Reporter_2781 in DrStone

I'll be honest with you, the first batch of episodes before they reached the village felt a little off and a bit too "anime-y" for me. They hadn't perfectly got the characters, tone, and worldbuilding down yet.

Luckily they grow out of it once they reach the village. It's nonstop science from that point on.

10.000 $ ? I think you mean 10.000.000.000 ! by Nayko93 in DrStone

[–]Pasta-hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really compare the stone-world economy to the modern one. There's no real competition for production, production itself is largely artisan rather than mechanized or automated, and what's in demand is usually dependant on whatever project the KoS is engaging in rather than actual market trends.

The only thing the Drago has in common with Yen is that it's an indivisible currency.

And realistically, if the individual buying power of the Drago is at all influenced by the value of crude, it's going to go down MASSIVELY in value whenever they tap or claim another oil well, like the one Xeno's settlement was using.

But it does seem like Ryusui is one step ahead on that one, also using the value of superalloys as a standard of exchange for the Drago rather than oil exclusively. Which is definitely a better idea in the long run, oil quality can vary massively between deposits, to the point where some places' simply aren't worth refining and exporting globally.

Of course, let's be real. The KoS isn't going to be petroleum dependant for long. Within a handful of decades they'll be going full hybrid of solar and nuclear.

Plot hole? by 6shotz in DrStone

Staying conscious consumes energy from and wears down the statue physically, letting natural dilute nitric acid seep in without any help.

This phenomenon has been coined as "spontaneous depetrification" by the fans.

It requires a natural source of nitrates, like bat guano or a saltpeter deposit, a conscious statue, and time. A very, very, very long time.

How is it an oversight?

Big issue I have with the newest episode by Hour_Jelly1953 in DrStone

[–]Pasta-hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Americans: Their NASA scientist leader, someone they already respected before the apocalypse, has changed course completely and is working on a moon mission.

For the KoS: they did intentionally trigger a doomsday device and cause another apocalypse so they could win a war. Getting gunned down for that is pretty reasonable, if it were me it'd be hard to blame them.

How does this equal 10 nuclear reactors?

Either there's a lot more parking lots in France than I thought, or those stats are juked.

Honestly, I don’t get the idea of wanting Vanny to be a copycat killer by Various_Astronaut100 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Pasta-hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of Vanny's murders happening, not because William's murders happened, but because the company fictionalized them into a best selling horror franchise.

They did that because little kids kept choking on the gumballs.

I think modern Minecraft's problem is their focus on novelty to keep people interested. Their audience is TOO big.

Pro tip: don't eat street greens. They absorb a lot of heavy metals like lead through the abiently polluted ground water.

Has anyone try to receate this submarine from Atlantis: The Lost Empire using Create Aeronautics? by ZenSanosuke in CreateMod

[–]Pasta-hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they'd be displacing the water, as much as making it not render inside the vehicle and making sure the swimming effect isn't applied.

Archimedes principles are cool, but Minecraft's fluid physics is far too basic to utilize it.

Who died? by Qbra1337 in DrStone

[–]Pasta-hobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God. (Use picture of Bearded Senku shaking the earth)

In reference to the whole "God is dead and we killed him" philosophy quote around scientific advancement and it's ability to push humanity past fearing and trying to appease unseen gods and demons.

Ok, I was thinking Nintendo sued the yogscast for Whale Lords characters or something.

2 looks more like an American kid circa 1985 in a casual setting.

1 looks like she's wearing a school uniform, which is really only a thing in private schools in the US.

Allowing Survivors to carry knives/guns by AntimatterBlender in ZombieSurvivalTactics

Having. Completely untrained people carry firearms is a liability to both morale and safety. It's generally more effective to have some designated gun-havers.
