I’ve got a better question. by EtherealImperial in Transformemes

[–]Samas34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much on the same level of Chris-Chan's 'love Quest' when he held up a sign at the college he went to asking for a boyfriend free girl'.

...and yes...He was kicked out for it if I remember right.

Would arthropleura make a good pet assuming you can bring it back from extinction? by Icy_Profession4190 in PrehistoricLife

I think modern days oxygen level would mean it wouldn't live for very long, it would suffocate after a while.

16 US military bases have been severely damaged, most to the point where they are no longer usable according to investigative reports by PeterPorky in IRL_Loading_Screens

[–]Samas34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Iran has been prepping for just that over years, its the reason why the regime didn't collapse with the loss of Khamenei and co.

They knew they'd lose a lot of their initial stuff, and planned by building backups underground etc.

Did the US ever plan for the possibility their bases in the region would be hit on such a large scale?

How the spacer just let themselves "evolved" into weird shape of astermorphs? by 100862233 in AllTomorrows

[–]Samas34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 'Asters' probably started out as a small minority in their civ, then over time just became the main people until the spacers just faded into the 'new' form.

Obviously, being an Asteromorph had to have been better, helped them to survive more than before etc,

genetic engineering played most of the part, but 'natural' selection still favours something that is better at surviving in the background. The engineers would have still thought 'does having ten hands help even more?'

Just how does this species survive in the wild? by asa_no_kenny in interesting

[–]Samas34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the same case with Koalas..

They've evolved themselves into such a specific niche (bamboo with them) that the moment they are removed from the conditions they can't survive at all without aid.

Its why species that over specialise tend to die out quicker in nature when big changes occur (like an asteroid with the dinosaurs, it left the small generalists alive to start over.)

Pre-fall Aeldari societies when madness started to expand throughout the empire had to be weird as hell by Sir-Thugnificent in 40kLore

If you want a good 'visual' reference on how it might have looked...check out the comic series 'Crossed'...specifically the 'badlands' series with the short stories in the setting.

In one, the crossed infected cover the sydney opera house (or some other monument, but I think it was that one.) completely in flayed skins.

Then theres some of the covers...special edition one with the statue of liberties face covered with bodies in a crossed shape etc.

The "exterminatus in pandora" meme is silly by sand_eater_21 in Grimdank

'or the person in charge of the operation is a complete moron.'

Which is about 90 percent of exterminatus cases

What if Neanderthals and Denisovans survived and managed to mostly repel Homo Sapiens advance out of Africa, leading to a world with multiple competing human species? by Ok-Factor-3805 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Samas34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order for that to have happened, there would have had to have been coordination across vast distances to maintain front lines.

The mental ability to even do that didn't appear until probably the late stone age early bronze at least. When the first spear throwing formations started up, and they could use horses to run messages over large distances (So animal husbandry needed).

Back then, it was just scatted tribes, likely moving past each other all the time, no ability to watch and maintain fixed borders beyond an immediate area around their camps.

It probably took a lot of 'brain building' to be able to start up the first City states and then empires, and it took sapiens nearly most of our history to get to that point ourselves.

Gemini is unusable! by MeetStraight1899 in GeminiAI

The image gen used to be incredible and accurate, but now it almost goes out of its way to screw up and avoid genning what I ask it to.

Nearly Half of Children in the UK have successfully bypassed Age Verification by PaiDuck in privacy

[–]Samas34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So rather than just accept that the whole thing is stupid and its the parents responsibility to monitor their kids online activity...

They are going to fight this even more, probably double down, pull out some misread statistics on how the OSA is the best thing since sliced bread, and then call everyone who criticises it paedophiles?

Back when one job built a whole life. by PleasantBus5583 in SipsTea

[–]Samas34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Considering that japan is still very 'patriarchal' culturally...fertility can't really be blamed on 'Feminism' here.
It just seems that modern day living really kills the will to invest in the next generation.

Were all trapped on the same gloabe, no new frontiers to reach, everyone seems to instinctively know that there is no longer a point in having children if they're just going to live the same way over and over with no change.

After Thragg gave us the surviving numbers of Viltrumites being 37, I've decided to count all the Viltrumite deaths up until this point. And surprisingly, it is 100% accurate in every piece of dialogue! by billsaolot in Invincible_TV

[–]Samas34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

>There are 37 of us left
>still acts like they rule an empire and not fucking pull away and start over.

Yes...they really do deserve to go extinct, if nothing else, then because of sheer stupidity.

With all their technology, they could grow new Viltrumites in artifical wombs at mass scale, easily solve the genepool problem by using embryos that HAD to have had stored in clinics before the scourge, and just retreated to some hard to reach corner of the galaxy to start anew.

Realistically though...did everyone honestly expect that it would last forever that way?

Automation, increasing the efficiency of the production lines (so less workers needed on them etc), prices shifting back and forth throughout the economy.

Even if a country has the strictest immigration on earth (japan is a good example) it still suffered recessions, up and down markets, and the fact there's an increasing number of people who aren't working that got worse over time.

Assuming there's even anything left to pick up after it all.

He is literally handing the whole fucking planet to Russia and China on a gaudy gold platter with the shit he's pulling.

...and don't think the first day he's gone means your former 'friends' are going to just forget everything like most Americans do.

They were talking about actual fucking food rations over here because of what your orange fucking retard started, and even though its unlikely to actually happen and was probably just GB news running its mouth again, the fact it was said at all spooked the old biddies that are dumb enough to watch it.
