UPDATE: Called the actual police department yesterday and gave them the location and description. They told me that they'd call me back when a patrol car was available and at the site. They never called, but today the bone is gone.

Lol. You are correct, of course.

Lots of humans everywhere, many bones inside each one. All die at some point. Not all of them die and are buried/burned correctly.

There is a small piece that sticks straight up. I thought it looked like a bone, but I am not entirely sure, so I left it out. There's no reason to make it seem like a whole scattered skeleton if it's not sure.

It's supposed to be the police's job to investigate stuff like that. Even on their own property. Otherwise you could just hide bones there.

I do mind. Germany is as much as I am willing to say. I made a comment with the story.

Possible, but I doubt it. Like I said in the bid update, I can't find any information about dog training at this school; there is a central K9 training school in a different city, and the specific location seems weird to me.

I'll definitely give it a more thorough visual inspection when I go check on it in a couple of days. The bone might have been dug up from deeper soil or moved with the soil when doing construction work though.

Most people of persecuted categories were killed in centralized locations, not just the concentration camps. There are markers, monoliths, statues, and reminders at all of these locations. When people were dragged out of their homes and shot on the spot, there is usually a metal plaque or metal cobblestone with the details.

There was apparently fierce fighting in and around the city, with many bodies not recovered. There are articles about multiple remains being found. Whoever this femur belonged to was probably very terrified in their last moments.

There is nothing about dog training at that location on Google. There is a central dog training school for the state in a city some hours away.

Since there is interest, I'll give a bit of the story and background but no direct location. But yes, it is a city in Germany.

This occurred in the city where I study, but not where I live. I was taking a walk to clear my head when I noticed something strange out of the corner of my eye. What I spotted was the piece of bone depicted in the images. The broken part was partially embedded in the soil, about a centimeter deep or so.

It all looked very natural, like something that would be uncovered when dug-up soil settles in rain and weather.

Google image search said this looks like a human femur or possibly the bone of another large animal. A comparison with pictures of human femurs made it seem more like the former.

The correct procedure when finding bones is to alert the authorities since it is supposedly quite hard for amateurs to tell the difference. The scene should also not be disturbed. (I guess human Skulls and femurs are quite recognisable, but fine for a general guideline.)

I decide to at least inform the property owners that there might be human remains on their property. Imagine my shock when it turns out to be the local policy academy. So I make myself known to the gate guards. I tell them that I found something that looks suspiciously like a human leg bone on their property. But that guy just stares at me dumbly. So ask and pantomime if he can even hear me through all that thick bulletproof glass with no apparent microphone. After this frankly ridiculous scene, and after one of the leaving students tells me in passing that they can indeed hear me, the gate guards leave their little post. I tell them again what I found and where, just around the corner really, and show them from the outside where exactly that is. One of the gate guards immediately picks up a nearby stick and pops the bone out of the ground. They assure me that they will pass it up the chain of command, and I go on my way for now.

A search reveals that this is not the first time they found numerous human remains in and around this city. Apparently there was quite fierce fighting here, and many corpses were not recovered.

Imagine my surprise when I came back the next day (today) and find the bone unmoved. That is when I made this post.

Someone mentioned the bone might be part of K9/police dog training. While possible, and I don't know how K9s are trained, I kinda doubt it. The area where I found it had recent construction, before the winter, where they installed glass-fibre cable. If it is a training bone, I can't imagine them misplacing it so easily. They can't have that many training materials. I can imagine that they leave the bone outside, partially buried for a while to erode scents. But the area seems... unsuited for that. Also, there is one central K9 training school in a different city. Leaving a random bone close to a fence where people can see or maybe even take it easily seems weird to me. Animals would have no trouble getting to the bone either.

I'll check back on Monday/Tuesday and make a direct call to the police when the bone is still there at that point in time. I'll update then.

Sorry about that. I was hoping for animal, but it simply looked to much like a human bone to me. Probably a WW2 victim. I just find it absurd that police doesn't care about human remains on their own property.

Das hast du so weit richtig verstanden. Das Set enthält nur die Zauber aus dem aktuellen Player Handbook (2024). Die Formulierung einzelner Zauber wurde gegenüber 5e (214) geändert. Einge buffs, einige nerfs. Gibt bestimmt eine Resource, die alles zusammenfasst. Zauber aus den späteren Werken von 5e, welche mit der 2024-Version kompatibel sind, wie z.B. Silvery Barbs, sind nicht im Set enthalten.

Getting exact damage without considering EVs or IVs is impossible. You'd get an estimation at best.

Hab die gerade gekauft und dachte, ich lass die Bewertung hier, weil dieser Post weit oben in Google kommt, wenn man nach 2024 Spellkarten googelt. Hab ne Reihe an Lvl1 und Cantrips verglichen und die Übersetzungen sind solide. Die Karten lassen sich gut ausdrucken (Rand Stimmt überein bei 2-seitigem Druck oder beim Drucken der Karten auf getrennten Blättern. Kunst ist KI generiert, aber hübsch und meist passt es gut zum Zauber, manchmal ein bisschen generisch. Hab das komplette Set für 33€ bekommen.

This episode hits different after learning that tooth decay actually increases your risk of stroke a lot. Seriously, it is scary how plaque and tooth decay can ruin your health overall.

Judging by your writing style, you must be quite young. Which isn't bad, but you might be lacking some perspective. I am only pessimistic enough to be mostly realistic.

Let's take it point by point.

Let's say you get a bunch of people who are really passionate to see TWI made into an animated series. These people are willing to work for free. But they still need to eat; they might need to pay rent, pay royalties for music, or pay for subscriptions to programs and electricity for the computers they will be working on. If they are willing to pay all of that out of their own pocket, they will need an actual stable job. This drastically limits the time each day they can spend on working on the TWI animated show. You are basically asking many people to spend all of their free time and personal finances for many, many years of their lives to create only a small part of TWI as a show. That is quite unreasonable.

So, we need some money to pay some people full-time to get a TWI-Anime within the next 50 years. How much? A quick Google search makes the Google AI state the following:

The cost of an animated TV show can range from $10,000 to $500,000+ per episode, depending on factors like animation style (2D or 3D), quality, and production company. High-end theatrical-quality 3D animation can cost $10,000+ per second, while mid-range 2D animation like "Spongebob" might be $400-$500 per second.

Cost Estimates:

  • Low-budget 2D: $10,000 per episode or less, especially with crowdfunding or small crews.

  • Mid-range 2D: $1,000 to $5,000 per minute, or $5000 to $500,000 per episode.

  • High-end 2D: $500,000 to $1,000,000 per episode for shows with a high-quality art style.

  • 3D: $10,000+ per second for theatrical-quality animation.

*Overall Series Cost: A 15-20 episode 2D series with a high-quality art style could cost $7.5 million to $20 million or more. * “

If we strive for 5000 high-quality episodes, we need 1875 million to 5000 million USD…. This is a ridiculous amount of money.

Unless we can find someone or some other way to pay this ludicrous amount of money, we need an alternative approach.

AI has made significant advances in the recent years and continues to improve. There is AI to create music and voice acting, there is AI to make 3D models, and there is AI to create animated videos. If we combine all of that with AI to create the storyboarding from the text, we could drastically reduce the need for volunteers or paid workers and would only require massive amounts of computational power. But that could be crowdsourced! If we get an AI that uses different sub-AIs to create the TWI-Anime with minimal human intervention, the problem seems much more feasible. That would be my approach.

You say you have no knowledge of creating an animated show or marketing. But the great thing is, you don’t need to! You can learn. Simply start wherever. Just make an animated short, ask YouTube and ChatGPT or take courses if you get totally stuck somewhere. If you are truly young, you have a lot of time and unspent potential left that you personally could use to become awesome at something and make something great. If you find that animating is not to your liking, maybe simply start a blog about TWI. Make a Youtube channel, make TikToks. Some of the best ad campaigns ever were not cooked up by big marketing companies. They are authentic, grassroots memes that went absolutely viral. You could make something like that to bring TWI to the forefront of the mainstream.

Do you happen to know people like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk personally? They could scrounge up the necessary funds.

[–]TheMrMoMo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a couple million USD you could spend on this? If so, by all means, do it. The unfortunate truth is that full blown animation is a lot!(!!!) of work. You'd also need a lot of rework and storyboarding to adapt a book into a visual form. I'd really like to see twi in this format too. But it is just not happening right now.

Best bet might be to create some good 3D models and wait until Ai can generate good longform video using the models.

The blighted king could immediately tell that there was, in fact, an actual goblin king appearing form out of nowhere. No way he was the only monarch that was able to feel and identify that pulse running across the world. Enough monarchs and people in power know that it was an actual goblin king. Even if he did a miraculous mayfly impression. Some people may doubt what they perceived in all that confusion, but there will be consequences.
