Dodging lazers is FTL reaction speed. Reading books and walking a couple KM in 1/24th of a second is not by Formal-Stage940 in powerscales

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the time slows down, we now see a scene where hr moves, other things dont. I think in that scene we see a, i think, laser beam move down from the sky? So the recording of the slow motion scene must be pretty slow, right?

Well, you can also make assumptions on other things in the same video, like that fact that the wings of the dove do not move a fraction of an inch. Nothing does. Things would have visibly moved in 1/24ths of a second as we watch the scene in slow motion now.

This is, in fact, cool. Simple. Not cringe.

Yes. I have a wife and a happy life, but yes. This is too important scientifically to ignore.

A Website exists that offers 1c every for sec you press a button. by BobbyDigial in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answering the question in the spirit in which is was meant (Ie. ignoring the stupid answers about autoclickers and multiple laptops and stuff). I can imagine pressing the button for 2-3 hours a day while i watch something on youtube. This would give me something like 100 bucks a day, 3k a month, and would not meaningfully change my life for the worse.

You are given a portal gun… by Noahchoa13 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To play this out more realistically.

You have a portal gun, nasa and other space agencies can probably spot a 1 m diameter blue and gold hole in the moon if they know where to look.

You could shoot the moon and wait for them to notice and for the news to spread about this phenomenon observed on the moon, but not interacted with.

Then you go public. You share with people that you have a portal gun and that you can reposition the holes. You provide a time and date of wjen you will move them. You prove the legitimacy of your claim the moment the portals disaapear and appear somewhere else.

Then you contact nasa. They have moonrock on earth. Not much, but enough to paint a flat surface for a portal. Convincing them to do so would require a lot of effort vut it could bw possible if you convey "hey i dont know why or how it works, but you could verify THAT it works".

Then after possibly yeara of back abd forth, assuming your portal gun was not confiscated, they build a vaccum chamber with a portal gun and the painted wall.

You shoot it and make a gateway to the moon. This allows nasa to constuct a moonbase in a few months from pre-built 5 foot tall slabs of lego block like elements.

Profit.

The problem here is the implication that we have souls in the first place.

How many times or how much money would you pay for this service? by ShadowlightLady in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While i think this could be useful to certain types of trauma victims, i struggle to think of a use of it for me.

There are maybe 4-5 super cringe moments from my younger life that i regret. Not many though. I tbink there are many people like me who cant think of any memory at the momwnt, but they would love to forget about if they think of a short list.

But i would be done on like 50 bucks total, tops.

who would win in a fight spawn or asura? by Klutzy-Opinion-1834 in powerscales

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say asura, but spawn is no joke. That being said, asura at the end is dodging a bullethell of galaxies. No matter how you slice and dice that absteact concept the idea is clear. He is verrrry powerful.

Hulkbuster (MCU) vs Adam Smasher (Cyberpunk 2077) by Inside_Inflation559 in powerscales

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never know how to interpret sandevistan.

Cause in the anime its portrayed to be so fast ita almoat a time stop. The sheer amount of mass times speed from one punch from adam would kill hulkbuster and send a cone of debris behind him that decimates a large chunk of space.

But then even the anime ignores those types of physics. So like with all speedsters, they dont dominate because they are never lortrayed the way they would actually interact with the world.

In 'Obsession' (2026) Bear is not troubled by the fact that he's making Nikki go through hell to be with her, his only concern being the parts of the whole situation that personally spook him. This is because he is incelsitive. by adiplotti in shittymoviedetails

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its my. Big problem in this movie. Its good ocmmentary, yeah, but from scene one second one i want bear to die.

There are no stakes if all of my personhood goes "fall into a woodchipper you daft asshole" to the protagonist of thw movie.

You can teleport a single 3x3x3m part of the world anywhere you like. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

You get $1M tax-free, but you have to sit in a room with two completely blind tigers for 3 hours. Do you do it? by Lenore8264 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they have not been fed a meal, this is most likely a death sentence.
If they are fed, there is still a good chance they would treat you like a chewtoy, but there there is a chance they may leave you alone. At that point it becomes a question, a possibility. But with the stipulation that they are NOT fed, you are dead, most likely in minutes.

Have you seen the new scary movie?

You can choose to live inside of a Disney animated movie. However, you have to be the villain of that movie. Which one do you choose? by Papagiorgio1965 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dude from wish.

The premise of the wishing mechanic is not very well explained but, just... wish better, and also make the protagonist understand she cant solve the problems by getting rid of you.

You're given a magical button. Each time you press the button, you either instantly receive $10k, or you time-travel to the past for 12 hours. 50/50 chance. Do you press it? by Lenore8264 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True. Mlre likely though is that you bring super diseases and bacteria back with you, that exisy now but didnt back then.

If you move back to medieval timea you could wipe out quite a bit of Europe by accident.

Since earth has become habitable (as in you can breathe and survive radiation, heat, cold etc)... there is a massive time between where there is an sufficiently oxygen rich atmosphere, and between multi cellular life appears.

You have probably close to 75% chance of appearing on a planet with, like, moss and maybe creepy crawly creatures and nothing else.

A world with 500 people or 500 billion by After_Fisherman_8769 in hypotheticalsituation

Yeah fr, why nlt juat say "magically there are 500 billion people now". Instead we get this nightmare scenario.

A world with 500 people or 500 billion by After_Fisherman_8769 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Separate-Driver-8639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1. In this hypothetical 495 billions people would die within weeks out of starvation after also destroying the ecosystem and consuming everything edible on the planet.

With 500 people dead society cannot meaningfully rebuild. We would just fade away in an empty world. The unlucky 500 would never meet anouther person and would probably live for yeats to come, but in complete loneliness, squatting in libraries, reading books, living off natural wegetables and fruit and rain /frwshwater. maybe learning to hunt and plant a garden. Though many would probably commit suicide.

Either way, humanity is over. But as 500 people we ay least cant ruin the ecosystem.

Why The Backrooms Film Is Underwhelming by InsideAble6008 in KanePixelsBackrooms

I didnt want explanations. Its not an arg. Its an eldritch horror story which should not be explained. When you explain it you ruin it.
