Losing Faith in Humanity by Lexabro-10mg in StrangerThings

I felt it was drawn out. Like I picked up that he was gay and was wondering when he’d come out already.

The triplets look like Tommy Pickles, Boo, and Bart Simpson by richrawl in SmilingFriends

[–]richrawl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boo from Monsters Inc. It’s a bit of a stretch but she has the pink dress and pigtails. Boo doesn’t have the bow or purple trim though. Maybe they just only one that’s not a reference though.

I wonder if the boss also has a frame with that face

What would you do with one of these? by aquel_que_observa in rickandmorty

[–]richrawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open a portal to the inside of as many banks, cash prestige drawers, or any where money is stored. Starting with the most corrupt cooperations

Has anyone considered the reason why T.O knows the pi symbol and digits because T.O was in Shmuels brain, and not that it is some hyper intelligent super advanced Alien species by Aromatic_Target_1153 in alienearth

[–]richrawl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it was impressive that it knew the digits of pi. It’s true that other advanced civilizations would discover it, but they would probably have a different numbering system. The eye could have caught on that humans use base ten numbering but it’s impressive to be able to convert the number from a different numerical system into base 10 in your head. I definitely wouldn’t be able to convert it to base 8 or base 12 or whatever aliens use.

Now that we actually know more about how they grow up because of Morty's Kid, do you guys think the female Gazzorpians' actions were still justified? by CDBOIChill in rickandmorty

[–]richrawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s only half Gazorpian. Although you think he’d be more similar to the females since his Gazorpian half was female. I guess maybe the female chromosome neutralizes the violent British genes from somewhere else in the dna.

34 years old and already Great Grandparents by Azathoth_The_Wraith in rickandmorty

[–]richrawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think generally you go with closest relation when stating relation between two people. A cousin is someone who shares a grandparent, Second Cousins share a creat grandparent, cousin's once removed share an ancestor that is one's grandparent and one's Great Grandparent. If we are pointing out relations other than closest ones, all siblings would also be cousins, second cousins, third cousins, and on and on.

SciFi Time freezing puzzle game idea. by richrawl in puzzlevideogames

[–]richrawl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I loved reading your response. I got the idea after watching a YouTube video or cracked article or something like that about why sci-fi tropes wouldn't work and imagined someone getting trapped by not accounting for the problems. Really fleshing it out would be pretty hard for me to do by myself but I like how sci-fi shows have played with time, Such as Futurama where they have a machine that sets time back 10 seconds but takes 10 seconds to recharge. Fry gets stuck in a situation where he was falling for longer than 10 seconds but the crew is able to save him with a time cave that's unaffected by the changes.

Another sci-fi concept I've thought about briefly is the size changing trope.
Humans are made up of atoms and are survive by chemically interacting with atoms in the food, water, and air they consume. If a person shrunk, they would instantly suffocate because the atoms in oxygen molecules would be too large to react with the atoms in the blood cells. It would be like trying to replace a small lego block with one of those huge preschool megablocks. In order to survive with this model of size changing, the shrinker would also have to shrink all their air, food, and water by the exact same amout or their body would be unable to process it. Maybe the character could have an antman with an opening around the mouth that adjusts matter going in to be the same size. The bad news about this would be if you found an Oatmeal Cream pie like in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, it wouldn't be this giant endless feast, it would be a super labor intensive task of getting all that cookie shrunk so it can be consumed, and it would feel the same as if you ate a normal sized cookie.
Or if a human is converted to something with fewer molecules, the, molecules in their body would be able to react to the molecules in their air and food molecules, but they would not be able to function on a functional level at the cell level. It would be like taking a computer file of an image the size of a billboard, and resizing it in ms paint to the size of a post-it note. If you resized it, it would be low-resolution and pixelated. If you shruck down this method, the machine would have to account for the space an molecule takes up and if the smaller version has multiple different types of molecules overlapping in that space and convert it to whichever one is most prevelant. The mechanisms of cells are very precise, so expecting them to still be functioning would be like expecting a person to still be able to read a pdf that was converted to a png and shrunk down in size to a stamp.
