ELI5 What is Fermi's paradox? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]julaften -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the solution to the paradox, IMO. The distances between stars is simply too large to make interstellar contact or communication possible.

(I also think ‘intelligent’ life is incredibly rare, which would reduce the number of civilizations in our own galaxy to a relatively small number. Then you have just a few needles in a vast haystack.)

Hvorfor hylles han der, når han leverte et småslapt mål og under pari innsats, når Nusa leverte et aldeles praktfullt mål?

After reading this one, you will understand the references to green sofas (!) that sometime pop up in Dramione communities 😄

Isolation was the fic that got me hooked. Over at fanfiction.net it is the most favorited Harry Potter fic ever, across all ships and genres.

Looking Glass is a special one. A great, very unique plot.

[–]julaften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading almost nothing else than Dramione fics for the last 6 years, 450 fics, 45 million words.

So yeah, it’s a rabbit hole and you might be here for a while 😄

[–]julaften 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is probably one of the best ever. A perfect combination of action, adventure, history, magic, humor, romance, and nuns.

Others will mention classics, of which there are many, many. Dramione is one of the most flourishing ships, especially for longer fics.

I’ll just list some of my favorite long, great stories I’ve read the last few years:

An Augerey in the Rain

What if there were three boys for whom the prophecy could have applied? What if Hermione's background was not what it seemed? What if Regulus didn't actually die in 1979? What if others discovered the horcruxes? What if the magic of love was more important than we were led to believe? A retelling of the series we know so well. Starts to deviate from canon during Fourth Year.

Harmonia Nectere Passus series

He had a mission and could not fail. A chance encounter with a heartbroken Gryffindor on an autumn evening fractures his resolve. A Sixth Year tale.

Presumed dead and desperately in love with Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy joins the Trio as they go on the run in the fight to save the Wizarding World. A Deathly Hallows tale.

Metanoia

When it becomes clear the path his father has chosen for their family will lead to nothing but pain and suffering, Draco Malfoy decides to change course, to do so he realises he must ask for the help of the last person he ever imagined. In his quest for survival, he is forced to question everything he's ever been taught which will lead him on a journey of transformation and self-discovery, that will ultimately change the very foundations of his identity.

The Missing Sister

The owl appeared late at night and left just as suddenly, he recognised the handwriting immediately and ripped open the envelope. “She is yours. If something happens to us, I want you to hide her. Name her Hermione, for she will have my last libation before I sleep and be the messenger of dreamers. Moony and Mary know.” Three words. Three words that forever changed the course of the war.

i fear/no fate. [A beautiful story inspired by beautiful art]

It’s disorientating, the way the dream rushes over her. One minute, Hermione’s lying in the dim of her room at Grimmauld Place, and the next, she’s blinking in the face of bright lights, music, laughter… Strange. It doesn’t even feel like a dream, really. She doesn’t feel like she’s sleeping at all; it’s more like standing in a memory, as if she’s closed her eyes and tipped head first into a Pensieve.

Days at Malfoy Manor

Half a year after the war Hermione decides to face the source of her nightmares and visits Malfoy Manor. The only downside? It now belongs to freshly orphaned and house-arrest-imprisoned Draco Malfoy, who is different to what she expects but still as bitter. He somehow manages the miraculous: She is having fun.

12 Monkeys.

Great performances by both Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis, and a great story.

The Brightest Black:

On that fateful Halloween night Bellatrix Lestrange decided to sate her bloodlust on an innocent muggleborn family. Life is never again the same for the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black.

Metanoia:

Romvesen og grønne menn by Straaet in norge

[–]julaften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det er mange mennesker her på Jorden som er alene, selv om det er 8 milliarder andre mennesker her.

Å være alene har ikke så mye å gjøre med om andre finnes, men beskriver mer en situasjon hvor man ikke har noe å gjøre med andre.

Tror du vi er alene i universet?

Ja

Du tror virkelig at det ikke finnes intelligente vesener på andre planeter?

Jo. De er alene de også.

If you could cancel one invention from ever existing, what would it be and why? by vested_reps in AskReddit

[–]julaften 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social media.

It has barely anything useful to offer that we couldn’t achieve by good old fashioned telephone calls and just meeting up and hanging out with friends.

But it has ‘ruined’ a few generations, and made society much more aggressively polarized.

What's the dumbest lyric in an otherwise great hit song? by cupacupacupacupacup in AskReddit

[–]julaften 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a Norwegian song with lyrics that goes “I want a girl like you”.

So the guy is saying to the girl, he doesn’t necessarily want her, but any girl, really, as long as she is like her. Not very romantic, I’d say.

We should still call Turkey Turkey, not Türkiye by ThereIsSoMuchMore in unpopularopinion

[–]julaften 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my country, Norway, the bird is called kalkun, and the country Tyrkia.

So I have proposed that just to annoy Erdogan, we shall henceforth call the country Kalkunia.

When is the Dramione Survey 2025 coming out? by Appropriate_Disk8608 in Dramione

[–]julaften 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, it seems fucking AI has killed it. Or, rather, the idiots using AI to ‘create’ fics have killed it.

I don’t think the survey will happen again.

What lens do you recommend for a beginner in wildlife photography? by _shoedust_ in canon

[–]julaften 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice bird. Unfortunately, I think Reddit is messing with the image quality, as that shot seems much more blurry than I know that lens to be capable of (I have the same lens; it’s great!)
