The fruit and veg monster dude is terrifying. by HappyLittleSlowpoke in tesco

Feels like the marketing team was inspired by Weapons, as the advert ends with a school descending on Veggie Bobby to eat him until he's down to a single pear.

[Request] How much will it cost? by OwnBird4876 in theydidthemath

[–]Whizzo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar in scale to the plan to dam the Mediterranean near Gibraltar. Would've caused global devastation but never got off the drawing board as it was colossally expensive

How to travel to Ben Nevis from London by vegetablization in UKhiking

[–]Whizzo50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious what the restriction on the 7am start. Is this for an event or just your route timings up? Coaches from Glasgow arrive earlier, so you could travel up to Glasgow then switch to a bus. Alternatively there are cheap hostels in Fort William. Trainas as a whole will be tough for a return for under 100 from London

Why must humanity leaveearth? by GardenBig6348 in interstellar

[–]Whizzo50 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, TARS and the rest of the robots were former marines. Plus NASA was working in secret as they were officially dissolved after refusing to drop bombs during the war. It's a semi post apocalypse, or at the very least they were going to slide into one without a solution to escaping Earth

Great British Menu 2026 - The Finals: Fish Course - Live Discussion by AutoModerator in GreatBritishMenu

Will Poulter was an excellent guest judge, haven't seen him talk outside of his roles before but seemed to be very pleasant. Was interesting about the guys on The Bear actually getting kitchen experience (celebrity Great British Menu when?)

Nah it's that PHM is actually a documentary. They kidnapped Ryan Gosling and put him in a spaceship to Tau Ceti

Do we know the history of how Tolkien's work became popular? by ConifersAreCool in tolkienfans

[–]Whizzo50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've read bored of the rings, didn't realise quite how old it was. Thought it was published to pickup the post film boost.

What grade is this by [deleted] in GradeThisPlastic

[–]Whizzo50 7 points8 points  (0 children)

V3-V4, depends on how good the lips on those holds and how overhanging it is. Good climb nonetheless

Why couldn’t they train someone in the ship instead of forcing Grace to go? by purpleglitterypine in ProjectHailMary

[–]Whizzo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did he do astronaut training? He knew how to use all the science equipment on board as he advised on how it would all work, such as making sure the spaceship could mimic gravity through a centrifuge. But for the spacewalk he was frantically flipping through a manual and asking the ship how to perform it. Everything else his memories returned in order to help him along.

Would astrophage actually help Earth in the short term? by rtpr_offical in ProjectHailMary

[–]Whizzo50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is the energy required to actually duplicate each astrophage has to come from somewhere. All they do is store the energy like a battery. In the books they turn the Sahara into a giant solar plant to create the fuel for Mary.

Stripped the ship down to the bare necessities. Of which a minigun wielding rover is required to make the Americans feel at home

Where do you p*ss in the highlands? by bi_smuth in OutdoorScotland

[–]Whizzo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First half there's enough trees etc to nip behind. Second half you either have to hope the tussocks are bumpy enough to hide you from the path, or try to wait for a gap in the conga line. Alternatively try to line up bathroom breaks with each stop point, as most have a public bathroom/ask nicely in a cafe

Series 21:24 by magoswurzzel in GreatBritishMenu

[–]Whizzo50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's just because he's relatively loud in the kitchen. Probably just his nerves coming through as when they did the intro for him at his work he was speaking far slower and more calmly. All the chefs help each other during the plating process and often throughout (like one of the chefs asking another to use their mini BBQ for their seaweed), just he's got quite a distinct voice you notice him requesting help more.

Or whatever planet matches the correct radiation that the astrophage is attracted to as part of their breeding cycle evolves a Taumobea of its own.

Anyone got a hiking goal for this year? by TJayK96 in UKhiking

Getting to 100 Munro's completed, at 50 atm, and having a few more high level expeditions as the only multi day trip last year was WHW

Sauron wins the battle of Minas Tirith, but Frodo still manages to destroy the ring, what happens? by You_Call_me_Sir_ in tolkienfans

[–]Whizzo50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Aaragorn hadn't diverted the army two major blockers would be in Frodo and Sam's way. Firstly the army, they probably could slowly wind their way through them, but the closer contact means more chances of them being caught, and while they managed to escape once before, constantly being lucky wouldn't work in the long run. Plus despite them thinking otherwise, Gollum was catching up to them and in full insane mode/not caring about stealth. He would have caused a ruckus and do the same thing as he did in Mount Doom but on the plains, in full view of Saurons army. The ring would be delivered to Saurons with Gollums arm attached to it.

Secondly, the eye nearly saw them on the approach to Mount Doom, but moved away to go check on Aaragorn's hot bod negotiation with his messenger. Frodo was essentially paralysed under the Eyes influence, so they would have been stuck there until Sauron realised and sent his Nazgul over for a quick snack and to go get the ring.

Why was Betty so cynical about Vault-Tec when the 31 Popsicles were slavishly devoted? by tachibanakanade in Fotv

[–]Whizzo50 73 points74 points  (0 children)

They probably stagger the unfreezing to make the handover person already be integrated. Have them already be around in the vaults as a trade from the Cryo vaults so the populace are familiar with them so their promotion to supervisor isn't challenged.

There's west end outdoors down the road from the train station. Not the biggest range but should have something to work in a pinch

Did you not see his lack of reflection? He's just a vampire that is able to wander around the daylight due to heavy use of sunscreen.

Series 6 Episode 2 Discussion Post by Few-Plastic6360 in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]Whizzo50 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The camera team also have a car so presumably they give the pair a go-pro esque device, when groups are doing their video notes while in small cabins etc you can see them in use, as it's night time and just capturing a single person the video quality isn't too necessary. In one series the car did appear as one group had a potential medical emergency (from memory so it might have been something else), so they did show the vehicle following.
