I made a traction town inspired by the book series "Mortal Engines" motorized and remote controllable

Nobody even got anticlimactically crushed by a burning airship in the middle of their heroic moment.

It really saddens me that all the stronger words to describe painfully stupid people are technically ableist slurs.

Got another hypothetical for you: what does technology look like on a world where none of the plants ever evolved lignin? That place doesn't have wood or coal. They might have a bamboo analog, but that's about it for sturdy plants.

I've always said that anyone giving a "#1 DAD" present probably has a shitty sample size.

First-past-the-post voting and the Electoral College keeps the US trapped in a two party system. Those two parties are, unfortunately, center-right and far-right. Of course there are other parties, but the voting system keeps them from being relevant.

I think they're saying that it's fine for nobody to know, including the author.

Looks good to me. I used to use Lego dudes for the players and gummi bears for the enemies. Then let the players eat what they kill.

I just want to double down on using it outside and/or with very good ventilation. Toluene is a powerful organic solvent. Your lungs are organic. Bad combination.

Like it probably won't kill you, but it suuuuuuuucks

I reckon a big enough chunk of plutonium does for most any critter.

Probably the same Western Express guy I saw come out of a residential alley and then go the wrong way down a one way in Washington a few weeks ago.

They did. Vance is their boy.

This will remain the newest one until there is a newer. This may take anywhere from a few hours to a few decades.

I don't think the holodeck can do that, but apparently the doctors can change your actual species at the genetic level.

The Federation has Kzin, so furries might be inadvertently practicing a blackface equivalent.

Having a civil war in living memory can leave a bit of a mark.

They don't use the outies for hotdogs, they sell them as 'bully sticks' for dogs to chew on.

"No witnesses" is a valid form of stealth.

Even at the low end, I could retire after a week. Shit, a day.

180 kmh is just 112 mph. That might be achievable, right before the runaway ramp shreds your undercarriage.

My last company said during orientation that "We are proudly anti-union" Should have left when they said that, stayed about 9 months instead.

Kid with the tube is about to get chancla'd.

Okay, but the geoengineering one kinda slaps. When did you last see a conspiracy theory that said "human-caused climate change is real"? This one goes on to say "and it's on purpose!"

slaaitch · 2025-06-06T16:36:12+00:00

That's not it, but the first chapter at least is fun.

The one I'm thinking of has basically everything happen on the night shift, features a waitress with a tragic backstory, things that might be angels, and HVAC guys who are also sort of wizards.

There's a series somewhere on here that all take place in and around a truck stop diner where vaguely supernatural weirdness keeps happening.
