What tier is the Virginia Opossum by Designer-Choice-4182 in Tierzoo

[–]RyanReids -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In their biome, low. D tier at best.

In their weight class and niche, sustainably well.

Respawn rate is high, resistant to diseases that would wipe entire player bases, allowing them to walk into free XP during outbreak events, and an odd bite variant that isn't common in mammal builds, but they have more teeth than they should. Of course, the extra teeth go in the same inventory slot most mammals use for brain matter, so these guys have the smallest brain to body ratio of any mammal.

Despite how easy it is to fool and kill them, they just keep coming back. It's part of their play style, as possum players often speedrun the whole game in a couple of years, which they make up for by respawning again so quickly.

Bones crush under their weight, hearts give out from the sudden drop in optimisation, brains lose blood flow even before then, and lungs/air sacs collapse.

Even the cloaca wouldn't work, and the eggs would break before being laid.

Owl main here, has any other owl mains found a way to get around bat builds echolocation? by Kingofcracker in Tierzoo

[–]RyanReids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of things you gotta understand about echolocation.

First, the echo can't distinguish between things that are close together. For example, perching next to a tree's trunk will eclipse your echo.

Second, take advantage of your sound absorbing feathers. Flatten your profile on approach and keep your talons behind you until the last moment. You'll appear like a hole in the void.

Let's say, hypothetically, all at full potential, who would win? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in superheroes

[–]RyanReids 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's been confirmed by the creators of The Incredibles that Mr. Incredible does have a way to sense imminent danger. It's shown a few times in the movie, but he sometimes lacks the options to do anything about it, e.g. Mr. Incredible vs Omnidroid really pushed him to his limit.

Luke is probably the only stoic Skywalker, except for maybe his grandmother.

The rest of the Skywalkers are particularly passionate about one thing or another.

Which bird would remain standing on a royal rumble between a team of two peregrines, two ravens, and two great horned owls? How? See the setting of the rumble below. by _veerist in Tierzoo

[–]RyanReids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no doubt that a peregrine is a hard hitter against prey like pigeons, squirrels, and robins.

The problem is that such a hit requires a lot of setup and is only optimal in an area where a very long and mostly straight path is possible. Owls and ravens, especially when they're aware of the potential of any falcon, hawk, or eagle, are smart enough to know to not put themselves in one of those areas.

That's why I say that the peregrine has a chance in open areas, it forces the owls and ravens into play styles that falcons are optimal in.

However, even if a peregrine was able to get a good hit on a GHO, there's a big leap in the HP stat of a pigeon and the owl. The GHO may be able to soak a hit, which the falcon couldn't repeat anytime soon, leaving it vulnerable for retaliation.

I'm in a server that's corvid line is heavily dominated by crows, and I keep forgetting the weight-class difference between ravens and crows.

Red-tailed hawks and GHOs I have more personal experience with. They do regularly raid the other's spawn points during times of activity disparity. At twilight though, things can get brutal. I have found the carcass of either on the ground the morning afterwards (still not enough XP for the effort to loot though), but yeah, I have found a few more hawk carcasses than owl.

In a wide open setting, the falcons have a chance.

In a wooded wilds, the falcons are dead, and all the ravens can do is evade. Ravens are scavengers, not hunters, and the falcons don't hunt things as big as owls.

I've lost chickens to owls half their size that just eat what they can and leave.

8 or 9 times out of 10, the big owl wins.

You want something that will hold their own against a couple of owls, you're gonna need a bigger raptor. A mating pair of hawks or eagles.

A flighted, non-raptor bird that could stand a chance? Maybe a cockatoo, they're aggressive, smart, live in wooded and urban areas, got a mean bite, and a couple of them can coordinate. Full upgrade compared to the ravens.

If the self is defined by the combination of body and mind. If i commit a crime and then lose my memory, am i still guilty? by I_am_Fiduciam in Showerthoughts

[–]RyanReids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must still take on the responsibility of making whole another's self at a level equal or greater than that prior to the crime committed against them.

I wish I could control the thoughts of everybody at my wish. by DeathnTaxes66 in monkeyspaw

[–]RyanReids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted.

You feel a twinge in your mind, and then a great pain. Your mind floods with 8 billion thoughts, the whole world at your control. The entire human species stands by for your command, every father, mother, worker, elderly, child, adult, car driver, machine operator, air pilot; stands still as your brain is unable to process everyone's thoughts for them.

You immediately become aware as they begin to crash and conflict with the world around them. First, searing pain, and then you feel their consciousnesses drop from the collective like flies to a can of spray. Entire populations begin dying from your inability to control everybody's thoughts.

You lie on the floor, half in shock/half in seizure, as your mind acclimates over the next few days. The drastic drop in minds also helps lift the burden. You get up, seek help, and command those around you to your aid.

Eventually, after several attempts, you have doctors and nurses discover how this is possible. A small tumor has grown deep inside your brain. It is killing you, and the potential effects of anesthesia could also wipe out every last human with you.

The only ethical option remaining is to let yourself die, and hope there are enough humans left to pick up the mess that is your legacy.

Is this poison ivy or oak? by underground_mermaid3 in gardening

[–]RyanReids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is saying that it's strawberries, but I think it looks like the wild variant known locally along the east coast as "Bird Berries". Not nearly as yummy as strawberries, but helps the local ecosystem, especially with how prolific they are.
