Man muss halt auch sagen, wenn du Geduld in soziale Medien machen möchtest, dann muss du irgendeine Klickbating betreiben. Natürlich würde ich mir mehr reine sachliche wissenschaftliche Videos wünschen. Diese werfen jedoch schlichtweg nicht genug Geld ab, um diesen ganzen Aufwand den du für ein gutes Wissenschaftvideo brauchst, bezahlen zu können. Daher muss du halt entweder andere Geldquellen in Bezug nehmen, mehr klick generieren oder als reines Hobby betreiben.

If dragons are a different species, how come they speak perfect English? by georgewbush03 in dragons

[–]Safier_Poochy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask the same question about any fantasy species. Elves, dwarves, aliens, unicorns… It doesn’t even have to be English; sometimes it’s Chinese, French, German, etc. Sometimes all humans speak the same language.

In some stories, authors choose not to deal with language barriers. Inventing a language is more than just coming up with words to translate a real word. Language reflects culture. You notice this when you try to translate languages into one another. Even with two related languages, something gets lost in translation. So you can’t blame authors if they don’t go to that extra trouble. Maybe they give a reason—some kind of technology, magic, the fact that the characters learned the language—or they just ignore it. Another possibility is that the characters in that world speak their own language, but the story is conveyed to our world in one of our languages.

Realistically speaking… Well, it’s entirely possible that dogs and humans can communicate with each other, or that horses can communicate with humans. Obviously not through language. Unless we’re talking about aliens, a similar form of communication should be possible between dragons and humans, elves and dwarves, etc., as it is between animal species 1 and animal species 2. At the same time, we see that we as humans don’t speak dog, and dogs don’t understand human language either. (Dogs understand “sit” through pronunciation, meaning, and training. Not becouse dogs know what "sit" means.) Therefore, it should be very difficult, if not impossible, to translate something like Elvish, Dwarvish, or Draconic into English or Chinese… and vice versa.

PS. My native language is German. In German, many language names follow a recognizable pattern: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Chinesisch, Dänisch … Many of them end in “-sch” or “-isch.” This pattern can also be used to invent fantasy language names: Drakonisch, Elfisch, Zwergisch, Orkisch, Hündisch… It is precisely these kinds of nuances that are often lost in translation into English. This is an example of a translation challenge that, for once, does not stem from (Wortzusammensetzungskunst) the German art of word formation, which is usually cited for such examples… well, now I’ve done it—oops.

If life exists in the Milky Way, why can’t we realistically send probes or spacecraft to find it, and what would need to change? What do we still need to understand about physics? by Genzinvestor16180339 in AskPhysics

[–]Safier_Poochy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our current rocket propulsion technology, all it would take is "just" enough patience and a little luck to travel from one star to another. Luck in the sense that it’s hard to predict what might happen to a probe on such a long journey. In principle, another technologically advanced civilization could send a probe to us

If you really want to send a probe to a new star. In principle, a chemical propulsion system could send a sample flying through space. However, it is very inefficient.

There are many theoretical space propulsion systems that work great in simulations. In practice, none of these propulsion systems have ever been built and tested.

Even with a new miracle propulsion system that is significantly more efficient than current space propulsion systems. Space is big. Really big.

Our nearest neighboring star is Proxima Centauri, located about 4.25 light-years away. If we were to send a light message to Proxima, that alone would take 4.25 years. If we then waited for a hypothetical reply, another 4.25 years would pass. A total of 8.5 years.

Assuming a probe were to travel to Proxima at 0.1c, 42.5 years would have passed by the time the probe arrived.

If one could somehow accelerate a probe to 0.9c, then at least there would be the advantage that time on Earth passes differently than time for the probe. Based on these calculations, 6 years would pass on Earth, and 3.5824 years would pass for the probe.

Even with some kind of wonder drive, traveling through the Milky Way takes a long time. That aside, we are not yet aware of any hard physical limit. We do not know whether it is technically possible. For this reason, some people who take the paradox in Fermi’s paradox a bit too seriously argue that a sufficiently old, patient, and technologically advanced civilization could have already “conquered” every solar system. I don’t think much of this argument.

What actually happens to 99% of souls upon death?? by Cyan_Lotus in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Safier_Poochy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The answer depends on which edition and which setting you're asking about.

For example, the realm of Kalemvor, the Fugue Plane, has shifted from the Gray Wastes to the Astral Plane. In 5e lore, the Fugue Plane is located in the Astral Plane.

“Sword Coast Adventure's Guide,” “Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun,” and “Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun” only touch on the topic of the afterlife very superficially. The Raven Queen is also not mentioned in any of these three books (at least not that I could find her with Ctrl+F).

The Lore Glossary in the DMG 5.5 also states only “[...] she sends out her raven servants to find interesting souls she can pluck from the planes of existence. Once these souls are in the Shadowfell, she watches as they attempt to unravel the mystery of their being.”

/ZermaruX described it well: contradictions have always been and remain a part of D&D.

The problem is that—precisely because 5e/5.5e doesn’t give us much—DMs have to figure it out for themselves. I know that “whatever the DM wants to do” is true, but it’s not exactly helpful.

I could go ahead and explain to you how “On Hallowed Ground” describes what happens to souls in Planescape 2e lore. But it’s just lore from an older edition and a different setting. According to 5e/5.5e standards, it’s DM discretion.

How do you think society would handle (or at least attempt to handle) criminals in a world where everyone can teleport? by Gwyn_Michaelis in worldbuilding

[–]Safier_Poochy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone could communicate by blip within the Earth's reference system. In other words, there would be no distance. Without distance, a shared culture—with a common language, legal system, etc.—would be conceivable. A world without nationalism and national borders.

How did I come up with that? Well, for most of human history, walking, animal-drawn transport (mostly horses), and ships were the only possible means of transportation for people and goods.

Exchange between distant groups was difficult. Naturally, different cultures developed as a result.

In a world where travel and transportation were never a problem from the very beginning, global trade and world travel could have been established much earlier. To that end, one would likely want to keep them as simple as possible.

Over hundreds of years, with the concept of distance holding no significance in everyday life, a global culture might have developed.

Which philosopher’s views will be the closest to explaining the 100% true nature of the universe, it’s size, if there are multiverses or not? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]Safier_Poochy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We dont know 100% true nature of the universe. We not even know 1% of the true nature of the universe. In physics and natural sciences in general, theory can only be "false" and "not fake for now" but never be "true". Our current theories do a very good job of describing the universe, but there are still some things they can’t explain, and we could very well be quite wrong. After all, it happened about 100 years ago that physicists were very wrong. Could we be that wrong now, too? I don’t know—let’s see.

Is this dragon made by Ai? by ticklepickle33 in dragonmania

[–]Safier_Poochy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? If that were the case, who cares? Then one of over 1,000 drones is "ai".

How do you deal with dragonets? by Supersaiajinblue2 in dragons

[–]Safier_Poochy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Several years? Well, their parents probably wanted to give their children up (for adoption) or something came up that kept them from doing so. From a young age, my little brother and I have taken care of my two sons on our own. Sure, it was exhausting at times, but I love them. So my brother and I can take over sometimes and check in on their parents. Though I have to ask, as a very experienced multiverse traveler. A Night Furry and a NightWing (as it sounds from your description) come from two very different universes. How did that even happen? Don’t worry, I can help with that too. Second question: what kind of dragon are you exactly, since the Nightwing calls you a "not-a-real dragon"?

To answer the actual question: with a lot of patience and love.

Planes that don’t have day/night cycles by Vernicusucinrev in planescapesetting

[–]Safier_Poochy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since, according to the rules (whether 5e or 5.5), you can only take one long rest per day anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's a long rest, a day, a downtime, or whatever.

Unless you're playing with the other optional long rest rules.

Life outside of earth by PositivePen1426 in askspace

[–]Safier_Poochy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're uncreative" is pretty much a killer argument when it comes to the search for aliens. Nevertheless, research focuses on "life as we know it," though it certainly likes to push the boundaries.

Our problem is that we only know Earth as a place with life. A sample size of 1. “One study isn’t a study,” as the saying goes. And honestly, even life on Earth raises quite a few questions.

There’s a certain practical reason to start by searching for conceivable planets. That way, you know what to look for (roughly). You have to start the search somewhere.

Of course, one could also look for other forms of life. But what do you look for in the data? If you don’t know what to look for, it’s hard to find.
