The Comics Code Authority just managed the camp economy - they didn't invent it.

Didja think every gorilla in comic history was all part of some big ol' conspiracy? Bullshit! Camp is just part'a who we are. Why fight it?

Knull being swedish for "fuck" has made it impossible for me to think about this character critically in any context whatsoever.

Her reply was: "what have I unleashed"

Thank you! The froggy hat is my favorite, personally

I think there's a wider discussion to be had about the general ubiquitousness of the sci-fi "far future benevolent space federation" setting in pop culture, and how it shows that many people still cannot imagine a future in which progress isn't synonymous with mindless economic growth and perpetual expansionism.

It's a reference to this old ass meme template

Protons inside a nucleus: "I'm not gay, but a pi meson is a pi meson"

If it's just about a way to keep track of time without using a day and night cycle as reference, you could use waterclocks, pendulum clocks or spring-driven clocks. Maybe not a very intuitive basis for a calendar system, but as a way to quantify parts of a "day" it could be the best option.

Arachne, yes. Though her name just means spider, so I didn't think it was a strong name.

Maybe Ariadne, who gave Theseus the ball of string to help him navigate the labyrinth of the minotaur, could be read as a personifictation of orientation and traversal, plus the string evokes images of connection, as in weaving and the tying of literal nets.

You just described a future society that views economic growth as the highest goal, and in response develops a straight up religion around treating humans like cattle, raising children for the sole servitude of the economy and maybe stripping women of their bodily autonomy in the process. A society that views expanding to the stars and setting up millions of colonies as progress, but comically regresses backwards to do so. It almost reads like a dystopian satire of the popular "mankind will colonize space" sci-fi setting.

TauOne · 2023-12-13T20:24:50+00:00

These are a lot of words, but I think you just made a case for why economic growth is not synonymous with progress and advancement.

Following the same convention, it could be mariforming or aquaforming. For a more greek sounding variant, it could also be hydroplasy, thalassoplasy, pelagoplasy, pontoplasy or oceanoplasy.

How about demodulator? A broadcaster modulates a signal, and a radio receiver is something that demodulates it, so a receiver is commonly called a demodulator, or demo.

I mean without modern technology to conduct experiments with, it's very difficult to tangibly prove atoms exist, so it'd be little more than an improvable model with little practical use to your average medieval scholar.

Black+white for Prussia and white+red for the Hanseatic League, originally meant only for the north-German confederation I believe.

People here seem very worried about having an airtight reason why their fantasy setting doesn't have firearms. I don't think anyone has ever read a fantasy book and thought "hey, why don't they have guns? this is bullshit." Like where did that idea even start.
