either way beetles are infinitely cooler than mosquitoes
dude shut up
no
Ants are dope
beetles are the superior being
beet deez nuts
armoured and strong
Even after the semi traumatic event I had with ants I like them still
Praying mantis >
I can't really disagree there
a warrior ant couldn’t overpower like a decent sized beetle
not any beetle
It's like their one gimmick
You'd be next
if you were helping the beetle then the ants should have help too
what if i killed the ants family so it had to leave for the funeral and therefore the beetle won because the ant forfeited
thats how they operate anyways
if you killed the ants family other ants would just pick up the pieces and use it as armour
also they dont have family units
yeah but they’re not going to help the original ant
what about the giant wētā
they will
cause the ants threatened and will thus send chemical requests for supprt
okay id still blast them
I find it funny how people forget the queen isn't the master of the colony, but a slave to it
real
id blast the queen too i don’t care
They'd either find another or die
beetle wins no matter what you guys make up
wrong
my beetle has combat training so
mald
you’re just mad beetles rule and ants drool
how do you know that, not every single sub species of ant has been discovered
we dont
maybe one of them can
maybe
exactly
theyd still be able to beat the beetle
Drooling of the gaps are we?
We have supplied the ants with ICBMs
youre the one using made up shit to help the beetle win
how about
the ants and beetle turn on you castle, then me and ghoti help them blast you
mr snakeass as the best schemes
how the turns table
the beetle wouldn’t turn on me i groomed him into who he is
you guys clearly don’t know how beetle years work
if u didnt lose the malaria i imagine u would lose the immunity on turning back into a human unless the relevant parts of ur body remain mosquito
or non-human ig
"erm actually, theyre a 3000 year old god that just looks like a baby" 🤓
its not weird
🤓
lmaoo
that’s the reddit excuse
so idk anything abt comics actually does beast boy have human cells? when he transforms does he have animal cells?
i have no idea actually
I feel we are getting off track here a little
i need time to think about the science
im on the important shit
the hypothetical science
super heros are stupid
can beast boy turn into beetles
it's all magic
I hope there's ants in your window
the ants are in your walls
me and the ants could co exist peacefully
most fictional worlds have rules around their magic & its fun when u make it a point to explore them
tear the ants out
he's basically an illusionist
not a shapeshifter
that’s doodoo
so he cannot carry malaria in the first place
I'm a hard sci fi guy so I will smugly sit upon my thrown of superior fiction
The ants are chewing on my support beams
so he just gets malaria even if he transforms into a mosquito
yes
they're cutting the telephone lines as we speak
there is no escape
he will contract the disease instead of being a carrier
well that answers that 👏 all in a hard days work
and thus wont have the mosquitos immunity nor will be able to spread it
since mozzies are just carriers
unfortunate
i read that as support beans
what if he had some other contagious disease and as a mosquito he bit someone
wait what are we discussing
depends on the contagion
does anyone know why cant i put a bed (build 42) I just picked one up because i wanted to move its location but now i cant put it down as a tile again (I have a hammer so its not it)
does it spread via salivia?
if beast boy had malaria
beetles or ants
I think ants would win
one ant vs one beetle
is it ever confirmed in lore that beast boy can catch animal diseases
hes always human ig
im alrdy out of my depth what do u want me to say... hes boy
he’s boy and dumb
men 🚬
Beetles don't live In colonys
mutant
que 40k xeno herecy.png
HE WASNT BORN GREEN?
his parents injected him with serum that turned him green
and gave him the morphin powers
what the fuck
that’s no good
thats kinda fucked up
science keeps turning ppl green
oh well that's normal
"He received a certain amount of abuse from his parents, consequently becoming increasingly reclusive"
from the same wiki page
what a pussy
wait hold on
I can't type slash s wtf
this example is literally what we were just talking abt
and then i told him hawk threea
So the reason he's such a clown is a trauma response?
yes i realise this contradicts the previously established lore
yeah the whatever disease died inside him because he was monke
but a mosquito would probs not be the solution if he had malaria cos he wouldnt be killing the malaria
how could they
it's like they make it up as they go
🤓 ☝️ its complicated
I do that with everything in life
speaking of lore, is it ever established why skynet rebeled. I feel there's more to the story than "self defence"
kinda a weak argument
it did it for the vine
id be pretty upset too
it realized that movies need a villain
Wrong
I am a villain
impossible. im never wrong
There's a first for everyone
that'll be the day...
what is your favorite insect
bug
que buzz lightyear gif
always been a big fan of pill bugs
i am not aware of this one
Rolly pollies are a classic
land planarians 🔥
also silverfish i think i could watch them crawl around all day
what about ear wigs
i havent seen earwigs in like 25 yrs idk
been that long since you tipped a log or rock?
no its been that long since ive lived in a rly rural area
they have no childlike sense of exploration smh
rural areas?
i forgot america is a concrete jungle

we have a wild garden with a lot of activity
and i live in the city
next to a marsh
Even concreet jungles have areas with life
real
we have coyotes here. like everywhere else in na
the wild hedgehogs scuttle under the deck at night
ive seen a lot of coyotes & i used to see a lot of armadillos
in the city??
u must have other animals then
yes? in the city. coyotes r everywhere
And yet you haven't seen earwigs
do u have natural parks in cities
like pockets of bush cause its too hard to build there
cities have trails?
trail?
what do you mean by trail
in the big skyscraper part of the city
Oh
of blood
so you're not in a city
the big skyscraper part of the city has some parks in it tho
I see
i mean
but im not in the suburbs & im not rural
im trying to find the words to explain what i mean by park
I thought cities have to have skyscrapers
no they just have to be dense i think
im in a city bc theres a fuckload of ppl & businesses in my immediate area
there just also happens to be a trail with beavers & coyotes on it
that
kinda looks like that yeah
real
Nice place
i used to have to ride on the trail to work it was pretty but difficult cos most of it is just bridge
so im on my scooter like brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr
northland 
trails are nice :3
several miles of bridge
the onomatopoeia with this one
In the town where I lived there was something similar, a 40 km trail where I first saw a squirrel and a huge anthill. XD
big fan of onomatopoeias here
ururuurururururururu thumpthumpthumpthump
planked trails are a different breed of travel
anthill you say
saying this & immediately hearing thunking from the other room
all im hearing is the soft sound of snoring
Yeah, he was huge.
anyone here ever red humanity lost?
spec fiction in general is my top genre
I just wish sci fi writers could actually write characters
If I ever get to the point of writing out the setting, the lore and everything will be laid out, and immediately thrown away for the characters to actually live in the world
it sounds familiar
oh right yes I've heard of it
again, characters aren't the best. But the world is fascinating
i do agree the "deus ex machina" intervention of the author to continue the world was a huge L for me
almost ruined my reading of it
if it's the setting I remember. There's this odd sense of cultural homoginaity, and the characters from what I remember are rather flat. Very one dimensional, and I feel is a great insult since alien minds sould be complex, like us. But along the fact they should have their own depth and personality quirks.
This is the reason I don't think I'd ever write aliens
Humans are hard enough to write, aliens will be impossible
We are simply unworthy to even attempt to imagine how one will think and act
hmm
yeah i agree
humans are simply too much like setting concrete
i read an interesting piece about speculative exomusicology
i think it would be huge undertaking to make an indepth alien world
but it would be sick as fuck
I'm so glad I've got a Keurig. Otherwise I couldn't make even instant ramen for 1 without a whole-ass pot. Or just a cup of hot chocolate.
There's too many variables. And too many individual quirks. We inevitability will over simplify, and misconstrue actions.
There's a good reason why it's best for poc characters to be written by, or at least informed by, poc. You can't do that with aliens
We can't even do that for non human animals even
you know, our cousins
what are you guys talking about?
actually
this is a huge good take
Character writing in spec evolution

i retract previous statements and change my views
Yeah
I dont refuse to wrote alien characters because I don't like aliens. It's because I respect them too much
bro is cooking
I'll just throw list last part out. Has it ever bothered you how monocultured aliens are in media? It's bothered me a lot
fuck yes it has
While the humans are mutli cultural
ah. I have no interest in this. Very good.
I kinda wished star trek has the aliens as genetically altered humans instead. Things would make waaay more sense
but thats just me there
I appreciate the sentiment
i couldnt find a gif i liked
its supposed to be me eating up the meal
i hate the one dimensional way aliens are portrayed in fiction
it should be expected that they be as, and actually more, complex than us
especially in the cases where aliens 'invade' or 'land' on earth/otherwise come to the humans instead of the other way around
how would space faring impact their world cultures? nations? peoples?
what is there relationship to other species on their planets
This is kinda the reason I can't fully get into warhammer 40k. It's a setting designed to be morally simplistic, while I always try to add moral depth
valid
also I am sick of hearing about your herecy. I invoke xeno compatability on your entire species
i wouldnt mind "slice of life" spec evo comic with just different people living their lives
And why are entire planets owned by a single entity. I'd imagine there would be a lot of planet sharing and disputed territory. A map makers nightmare I know
xenocartography_chat
Oh and territory is a very western idea. Or at least, not universal
I'm not sure how hard borders worked for Asian counties
or war? or weapons?
that's what I'd like to do
one day
not just "alien gun" but what about the war strategies and weapons of different species
how they adapted to their environments and used it to further conflicts
it changed
clans, peoples, states, empires
You know
Breaking bad is the equivalent of The Office with Millennials but with Gen Z
who tryna let me join a server?
who need their server joined
idk, I feel the two shows are very different
i think they mean the cultural impact
Incredibly, but they both have the same role.
I see
one of my favorite bits of this style thing is in project hail mary (mild spoilers, btw) || the protaganist meets an alien lifeform, who, among other things (such as having a language similar to birds chirping from the human perspective of it) came from a planet much, much larger than earth with an incredibly thick ozone layer and minimal decaying isotopes, which led to their species having no knowledge of the concept of radiation. it ends up affecting the plot but my takeaway is how interesting the starter conditions for life can affect their understanding of the universe ||
absolutely
that’s what i’m sayin
I sentence them to Marie Curie
they didnt do anything but be born on a different planet
it takes quite a while for the human guy to explain it too, despite being a post grad who can explain it, the other goober has literally no context for the whole thing
thats on earth
post grad in what
we did worse to our own for less
microbiology of some form? I'm not super well versed in the terminology
im joking
i thought the story would have the equivalent of like critical race studies but with different species
so the guy had some understanding
Oh you also want to do micro biology?
no, izzy talkin about a character in a book
oh
nono this is a first contact scenario, for context the dude is essentially trying to save the planet (albeit not willingly, he was coerced) from a micro creature that is fucking up the sun
ahh
oh god
i forgot to mention he is in space
alone
which is kinda an important distinction
whats the book called again?
project hail mary
I fukcing hate this space ship
same guy who wrote the martian if youve read that
space piracy is always cool
oh real?
hmm
ill look at it
the beginning is a little slow but it's written well overall and has a really nice second act
real!
is there gay
sadly no 😔
it's always a nice addition when there's gay
subatomic level gay
a central pillar holding up the plot
a load bearing beam
the pillar
the entire strutural integrity of the writing is the gay
SIGNALIS is literally a lesbian love plot with horror and i love it sm
a bastion of architecture
mark, give me the zucc
a monster calls and more than this
theyre good gay books
monster calls is mostly subtext and more than this doesnt have it integral but
they gud
oooh will add them to my book hoard
lol
and they removed the gay
book movie itis is real, fuckin sucks when bad adaptation
literally, i watched it directly after reading and could tell all the parts they removed
homophobia is so cringe
Im disappointed that I am legend was overly streight. But I couldn't really be suprised
you red it?
nah
I read it a while back while on a zombie kick
i have read gay loner in the apocalypse books tho
oh, well he kinda gets with the only female character iirc. If im wrong im glad
dude had a wife
Oh yeah there was a looooot going on in his mind
World War Z is my other Book I Love That Got A Horrible Movie Adaptation
real
I shpuld finish that book
tbh if i know a book has an adaptation i dont watch it
i mean its fine, i guess, generic cheesey action flick but it completely has jack shit to do with the book sob
id rather just read it
the children of gia I only simp for ironically
yeah true!
One of the only exceptions was the martian, I saw the movie first and it was really good, and the book was muuuuch better
glad i saw it in that order tho lmao
book was great
need to start doing this
hey there are some good ones
tbf
star man got me in the feels
the ratio of bad and good is bad dude
the i am legend movie makes no sense to me cos its like they literally didnt even wanna do i am legend
too bad for me to consider it
I think WWZ had great potentional for a movie adaptation, scenes like Yonkers for action but also some social commentary in the slower parts and great B plot potential with all the unique little stories
the like... was it 2009? one
Hey the 2009 one was good. Not the same but good. That with the alternate ending is pretty good
but its not an adaptation imo
But I do want an adaptation with the depressing alcoholism of the book
and given the journalistic pov they could also just treat it as an addition to the main book with new stories, except maybe including the beginning chapters and yonkers as it's a key moment in the book for explaining the scale/consequences of the war
also the first adaptation is on the wikipedia page iirc
The 19 whatever one is the closest to the book. It even had the pit make an appearance. It just sucked
The protagonist isn't charismatic as a plot point, and that don't lend itself well to movies outside of specific audiences
something something he like me frfr ahh character
there are movies I can enjoy because I think about them well after the runtime even if the content wasn't super entertaining in the moment
potato
no
sparrows must go
plague on yee

the locusts will soon follow
the mandate of heaven has been lost
it's a biblical reference
oh
yeah so God was mad at Egypt and sent a plague of locusts
wasn't there a locust plague at one point in the christian cinematic universe
ah
pretty terrifying honestly
the ccu
Locusts ate just silly little guys
ccu expanded
christian cinematic universe
myes
ccu expanded: now including the new testament
I thought it was in the old testament
but this is the expanded blueray cd
hm
available now at blockbusters
Probably cus is all i ever fucking see
i have knowledge of different pieces
which one?
but nothing big
hmmmm, se asian, zoroastrian, khazaki myths, minoan myths, greek, iranian
greek?
what
how the fuck did greek get all the way over there
this isn't a ck3 haesteinn playthrough
colonisation in ancient greece was big dude
i know some eastern african, northern african, south african
as well
hmmm maori myth as well
roll for expansion
different bits
I know they did colonialism, but like all the way to nam?
oops china collapsed again, gotta reload a save
At least they reunited crying chud
they lost theyre phonetics when they standardised with the han too
language hell
theyre metaphorical phonetics i mean
do you want my exchange argument about metaphorical languages in star trek compared to ancient china
is this why you don't like i ching
yes
I may not understand it but i will listen!
damn
Hello
hi
Are you guys having an issue with AMD for build 42?
it's a documented issue atm
argument i had 12 years ago
that was my piece
that was one of my pieces i should say
first resident evil game got me over here poopin my pants
Is this an argument about how the Chinese dialect, also, changes?
I wasn't quite following
Sleeeeeeepppppppyyyyy
slep
no
i didnt cap the argument
essentially, the starter inquiry was how a language such tamarian could be taught
and someone said it wasnt possible
so i corrected them with an irl example
with added spite cause i hate the han dynasty
I'll give them credit, if no surviving records exist then yes, it can't be taught
no theres records in the show
aka the aberhamic gods name is lost to time
in fact i think they understimated the universal translator in it
ah well that's different then
it could effectively translate the metaphorical language
tamarian is a language based on metaphor
and that can be translated
its been shown in irl languages
theres whole fields of study dedicated to it
which is why the response was SO FUCKING WRONG
nerd man rage
a language based on metaphor?
yes
Guess they're bad at giving strieght answers
Ye, which is why thought is so bizarre
for example tho: "shaka when the walls fell" was used to describe "pain or frustration" based on when a city was breached
we need more ace representation for example
hi chat

it only counts xp once every minute
i break my sentences up a lot
wow
its also prolly cos u joined after they nerfed xp
yes
What happened to xp
they nerfed it
when did they nerf xp
idk
everyone keeps telling me they nerfed xp
ppl with way less posts than me have vet so it must be true
idk when it happened but i think half my lvls r from before that
I had a almost vet account get smited
u got smote?!
Im a unoficial vet
yeah
what happened

discord crimes?
That was my other other account
I got smited twice

ur unstoppable im scared
Actually one wasnt even banned
I just lost the email to it when i threw my phone into the water
I see
seems like the shit youd pull
losing an email sucks
The other one got banned coz i couldt be bothered verifying my age to be over 13
i lost my phone only once
I didnt like the song it was playing
and it was forced
my brothers email got deleted. like the email doesnt exist anymore. so he lost his old acct & it orphaned our family server i had to start a new one
family discord server?
ya
equal parts cringe and wholesome
i get this emote of my familys cat from it
very nice cat

i think she had just gotten a bath & it looks like my sister also flashbanged her w the camera
also this is just the consequences of having a gamer family like our other avenue was fb
never
my younger siblings dont have phones so we cant group text
gamer family is cool
"hey, sibling, join my fb group 😄 "
my dad is the only one actually active on fb 😭 it was bad for my mental health
do you have siblings stink
with other men who cant get pregnant
is ur dad a gamer
real thats why i specified this
i had it on lock bro
I forgot if i brushes my teeth 
shit
I shouls brush again
you outmanuvered me
After choxcy milk
i mean also this
wasnt expecting trans inclusivity? thats kinda problematic dude
choccy milk is good
myes
if my old as fuck dad walks in with a reversed vasectomy and a pregnant 25 person i will rage
answer the fucking question tho is he a gamer
yes
good
I'm sorry for your loss
lmao
where is this going to end
i dont game with him much tho
@toxic hawk I didn't notice the cloth physics worked in the loading screen, sick
what games
i think i told u i play with my friend [his ex] more
ye
real
it is
typo brigade rolling in
is he a filthy min maxer
my dad mostly plays stellaris... but he got into some card shop simulator
same question goes to you
reason why we dont play it together
ur dad selling overpriced pokemon cards to kids
unfortunately stellaries isn't very roleplay orientated
i dont think so, hes rly focused on things that "feel cool"
hes a huge mtg & ttrpg fan its like therapy for him
idk i like things that feel cool & it usually isnt minmaxing
I dont really have any good mp builds though
hops into pz server --> ends up playing stellaris with other members dad
some shit i would do
interesting developments
in pz specifically im a rper first & gamer 2nd but sometimes i am cracked at it
i dont fucking type numbers consistently bc im so cool
sleeper build
stellaris really needs to move in the rp direction more. It's getting there but it's not there yet
the only real thing you need is alloys and sci
hi again chat
hello
im still alive
good
but at what cost
12.50
sanity
you forgot to include sales tax
actually funny thing my local server for locals is like
mostly the dads in my local group play with me
locals?
ppl who live near me
you in cali?
no
oh
i say locals bc its easier to say than like
ppl i met thru my disability group whose parties i go to
Apparently we have a local fire of our own
Singapore sais locally grown about things grown in litterally other countries
Locally sourced ig
😭
i just wanted to say i game with dads a lot
but not my own...
this is so sad. eveyrone pls like & share
Say you like to play with other peoples dads
exactly like that yeah
do you play football with your dad in the back and share stories about the latest game
American football?
we dont have backyards here
read: any sport
sad
backyards are a luxury
We're running low on backyards
I hate suburbia
I just witnessed a bloodbath in a zomboid server..
The russians just got murdered in LV by 2 different factions..
i fucking despise suburbs
does suburbia exist where you are from stink
theyre not good
I thought we contained the sickness...
Stinky fartman lived in a cave
nah
when i was a kid suburbs had more foliage tho
i lived in apartments and outskirts or deep bush
i cleaned in suburbs for a while & there was like. nothing. it felt so.... idk
Balls.
balls
balls!
sterile?
fake?

How do u make words smaller?
artifical?
it was kinda scary
Cant do it here
they claim freedom and diversity but enforce conformity
But i wanna
i was thinking i would get lost if i had to walk around such a neighborhood but realized these neighborhoods r not made to be walked in
Gonna get 1984d
how are people still wrong on stuff when they can just google it and get the answer
like theres no trees so the pavement was hot
Its easier to get corected
I hate moving
I want others to movw for me
Ill move all ur stuff to my house
information burnout
this is what i meant by backyard
thats rual
ye

Up hill both ways

as long as humanity survives, I can die somewhat comforted
idk man
chapter should end
shit changes
would be sad to be stuck in the mud about it
maybe all plants will mutate and no oxygen
they will instead turn the atmosphere into mostly sulfur and other shit
Somone once asked me what I fear most. I said the death of humanity, they didn't fully sympathize (I get it). But knowing all this progress, all this knowledge, all this work to be erased. And knowing what could have been. It troubles me
Oh and also the fact how my ideological framework is playes into that too
why so
why so what
why are you troubled
Loss, on an unfathomable scale. And the death of a better future
What keeps me going, is that when I'm gone that there will be something left. Something I can work for still being here
and to see that gone. I guess it's like an ant losing it's queen
new one
If you played frostpunk, the phrase the city must survive is basically my stance
i se
wow this is depressing
I dont see how a what if sinario is depressing
i love tom lehrer
the masochism tango is my theme song dude
Dudeposting
why did i expect you to choose that one plums
cuz you know me well enough
we dont really talk hm
that says a lot about how much of an open book i am
O
y
I beg thee
looking it up rn
Fn youre no longer fartass
leon
it's the end of thr world story basically. Very depressing
it expresses my feelings on the matter well
alright
ehh
im not bothered by 'the world' ending
cause i know its not the world
my friend rly liked this one iirc
I mean yeah
unless an asteroid breaks up earth but even thats just shit happenin
but it's my world
I'm concerned if I start hearing clicker noises
i will be kinda mad if the world ends
real
