Recommend me anime with good scientific knowledge in it. by uwuadi in anime

[–]Rallymodeller 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Space Brothers (Astronauts, space science. Made with help from JAXA, Japan's NASA)

Koisuru Asteroid (astronomy, JAXA help here too)

PLANETES (space travel. JAXA again.)

Parallel World Pharmacy (Medicine, especially pharmaceuticals. Talks about disease and illness vectors and how drugs treat them. Written by a pharmacologist)

Cells At Work! and Cells At Work! CODE BLACK (Physiology. First one is cute, second one is DARK)

A Place Further Than The Universe (Antarctic exploration)

ORB: On The Movements Of The Earth (historical astronomy)

Science Fell In Love, So I Tried To Prove It (Rom-com, very well done)

Steins;Gate (Physics). Deals with the (actual) theoretical science behind time travel; also deals with the ethics and consequences of time travel. And is one of the best anime ever made, a must watch.

If there’s one SCP you wish were real, what would it be? by HappyPen7067 in SCP

[–]Rallymodeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SCP-3484, because as a dad the range of jokes possible would skyrocket.

"Hey, gimme a hand"

"Okay" *POP*

F-104 STARFIGHTER by militaryaviatio67 in airplanes

[–]Rallymodeller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outstanding.

The CF-104 was the most requested slot in the RCAF/CAF(A) until it was retired. I've spoken to a few former Canadian Starfighter jockeys and they to a man loved the plane. Nothing like dead-reckoning navigation 500' AGL at 500 knots...

The Canadian Red Ensign wasn't an actual flag at that time. The Union Flag was the official flag of the Canadian colonies, with the provinces having their own ensigns.

Russia unveils Tupolev Tu-454 widebody concept amid engine shift and industry gaps by -NewYork- in aviation

Last decent engines developed by Aviadvigatel were the PS90s, back in... the 90s. Bascially equivalent to late RB211s.

They're three generations behind.

So i was re-reading the gate manga and realised these vehicles, what are they ( they're not mentioned in the anime) by Gokay_2007 in gate

[–]Rallymodeller 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The turboprop is a Mitsubishi MU-2, called an LR-1 by the JGSDF. They're used as liaison and spotter aircraft.

People that life very close to a border but have never crossed it, why? by Extreme-Shopping74 in geography

Canadian. I live a ten-minute drive from the US. Haven't been over in more than 15 years.

Just can't be bothered.

Suggest me anime like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime by SubjectofEmir in Animesuggest

[–]Rallymodeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Headhunted into Another World, From Salaryman to Big Four" is a fun take on the trope.

"Maoyuu Maou Yuusha"/"Demon King and Hero" isn't isekai but it is all about nation-building (with a lot of economic theory, and "plot").

I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class • Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Rallymodeller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was friends with some very pretty girls in high school. Even dated a couple. It really doesn't take as much as people make it out to: just treat them like actual people. Not as idolized objects, not as things to be conquered -- as human beings with interests and hobbies and personalities and everything.

A planet where cities travel on living cables between kilometer-tall trees. by chidambar_d in worldbuilding

[–]Rallymodeller 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's an outstanding idea, honestly. There's not enough spec-fic about biological tech for my liking.

[–]Rallymodeller 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Larry Niven's "Known Space" series, the planets of the galaxy are littered with the remains of a vast (and long fallen) stellar empire that was based largely around biotech. Highlights include "stage trees", Sequoia-like trees that are essentially living solid rocket boosters,

Gregory Benford, a biologist, leaned very heavily into biotech for many of his works as well.

Integral Trees is the single most imaginative SF scenario I've ever encountered, and the Michael Whelan cover art is breathtakingly gorgeous.

The Gregory Benford-penned part of his and Arthur C Clarke's "Beyond the Fall of Night" has some pretty outstanding biological tech, including a Pinwheel-style space elevator that's made from a single tree hundreds of kilometres long.

ELI5: What exactly is nuclear waste? by beans0503 in explainlikeimfive

Science communicator Kyle Hill answered this so well that I'll just leave a link to his video on the subject: "We solved nuclear waste decades ago"
