honestly, i stand by the fact jackie wouldve hurt/tried to kill nat if she survived longer. the tension that was going on between them, the arguments and then the travis situation, i think it wouldve lead to a couple of pushes between each other and back handed comments throughout the winter. all of it until it wouldve exploded, maybe nat saying something and jackie losing it. maybe something that wouldve ended bad bad. idk, i just wish we coulve gotten crazy jackie

Hiiiii! Hope everything is going well on your end!

So the engines can infect each other, right? Are they capable of infecting humans or is it a sentient vehicle exclusive thing?

I'm doing good, thank you!

Eh, it's more of a sentient vehicle thing. The engines don't really want to think about what would happen if any of them bit a human.

The infection itself is partially of some kind of twisted gold dust magic. Hypothetically, if humans were capable of getting infected, not much would happen. The person's skin would turn grey, their teeth would fall out and be replaced by sharp canines and mechanical parts MIGHT materialise in their body. The mechanical parts depend on what type of engine bites you. Getting bit by a steamie would replace your stomach with a firebox, small axles will extend out on the outer sides of your ankles until they puncture the skin and allow the wheels to materialise. In the throat, a whistle would grow and create a third throat pipe with a chord that goes down, then splitting in two. One half would travel to the lungs and connect there and the other half would connect to the voicebox.

If the person just takes a deep breath and screams, they'll whistle, and if they put their hands to their mouth and simply whistle, they'll sound like a steam engine. If a diesel bit a human, the same type of thing would happen, the person's stomach becomes a literal fuel tank, horn in the throat, etc. If Diesel 10 bit P.T Boomer, Boomer would likely get his own version of Pinchy, but in a VERY gorey way. Imagine a baby xenomorph bursting out of your chest, but it's a hydraulic claw coming out of your back.

One day, you wake up as the opposite agab. Nobody knows this has happened and everyone remembers you as the new gender. There is a button you can use to turn back into your agab, but you can only press it once. If you press it, everyone will forget about your gender switcharoo and remember you as your agab again. The button disappears after a year and you can’t reverse the change at this point.

Oh my God dude my brain is fuzzy and I have a question that needs answering now

Ok, so, let's say hypothetically, when you die, it is required that you are subjected to the same harm you put onto others (Hell) before you are allowed into Heaven.

This harm isn't stacked, it's sequential. So, if you stabbed one guy and hung another, you would be stabbed then hung before being allowed into Heaven, rather than both at once.

You are subjected in exactly the same way as the person you harmed. So, if it took 14 minutes for the guy you stabbed to bleed out and die, that's how long you would remain stabbed until the next punishment. There also isn't any cooldown and it happens immediately upon your death.

Given these conditions, starting from the exact moment of death, would Hitler still be in Hell right now, at the present moment? If so, what fraction of the way through would he be?

Hey, just a quick and purely hypothetical question:

Let's say it's sometime in mid to late February. Which means that while there may be snow and ice, you know for sure that it is slowly beginning to melt.

Now, imagine that on your walk through a forest, you walk by a lake and see that it's entirely frozen over. And let's even say that you test its strength and it appears to be strong enough to carry you.

Cookie hypothetical

for context I had a argument with my friend bc they said that they would choose the one WITHOUT a super fun image and I fully disagree

[thefourfan]

If I were to create a series that became popular enough to form a decently-sized fandom, I kinda want to make a random ass rarepair canon for 24 hours to see how the fandom would react

Like I'm genuinely curious on how this hypothetical fandom would react overall. Would it become one of the most popular ships? Would the fandom mostly take the ship seriously or would most people treat it as a crackship? Would there be a loud minority of people that would continue to believe the ship was actually canon even after the 24 hours were up? Would there be a loud minority of people who would send me or other shippers of the temporarily canon rarepair death threats over the ship becoming canon for 24 hours? What would the shipping discourse be like? Would this bring together or tear apart the fandom? Would people try to convince others that the ship was somehow problematic to cause drama? Would there be someone in the fandom notorious for really liking the ship? How would the few people who already shipped it before it became temporarily canon react?

This hypothetical is making me genuinely curious dkdksjwisosjnsysiowbsbskoz

if gravity falls and the owl house had a crossover episode, stan pines & odalia blight edition

stan would be impressed by odalia's business strategies and probably compliment her sense of style, but as soon as she starts bragging about her abusive parenting, she is getting DECKED in naught point five seconds flat. odalia would feel threatened by another business-minded person, but would come to see stan as a kindred spirit after one or two conversations. and then she brags about committing child and spousal abuse

somehow, my "new entities theory" is making me sympathize for The Extiction.

i was thinking about a post I saw about how episode 8 seemed to have a LOT of characteristics of that one Extiction report, and I thought; "hey, what if the undoing of the Mass Ritual was what The Extiction needed to emerge? an apocalypse to be overcome, with the remaining population being forever marked?" and even though there isn't much evidence to THAT, oh buddy are there some possibilities to it.

imagine; you're the youngest of 14 siblings, all of you (along with your parent) are all elder gods of fear, and you're pretty new to all this. then all of the sudden someone does a ritual that pulls the 15 of you into the mortal world and causes the apocalypse and that's the whole thing you have power over! yay! but then your spider-loving older sibling tells one of the little humans they keep around to tear a hole in the universe and you get scattered all across the multiverse and when you land you're not with your siblings anymore????? you're with this strange new group of entities that apparently got scattered around like you and don't remember anything of where they came from and- oh. oh no. ohhhh fuck. those ARE them, they just got all mismatched and some do things that NONE of you did before. you're the only one left untouched. AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE RULING ENTITY HERE????? BUT YOU BARELY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?????? WHAT??????? and yet you have no choice but to accept your fate, completely unprepared, as your other older sibling's replacement.

Shadowbugs and...Fluffy Ponies (Oh Dear...)

Let's say, hypothetically speaking, Shadowbugs and Fluffy Ponies were in the same universe. Now, Fluffy Ponies are cute but essentially have glass bones and paper skin. On the contrary, Shadowbugs are incredibly strong creatures that sometimes forget how big they are and might be a bit too affectionate.

So, putting two and two together...This pairing would likely be a disaster whether it be from the Shadowbug accidentally squishing the poor Fluffy or said Fluffy getting a heart attack from seeing the "scawwy buggy munstah" (if they're anything like hamsters).

So yeah. Unless the bug is veryyyy careful, them and Fluffies won't mix. Especially since feral Shadowbugs would likely hunt and eat feral Fluffies (you know, being carnivores that are built to rip and tear flesh).

Person: Lemme ask you a question... What's more? 21 or 64?

Any other rational human: 64

Me (thinking): Oh god is this a trick question? Is it so that by using some crazy math mumbo jumbo it's actually 21? But what if it's a double bluff? Or maybe they want me to think it's a double bluff whereas actually a triple bluff... Or a quadruple one?? No by that point it would be too unlikely. But that doesn't keep it from possible being a double bluff. OH GOD PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT ME BECAUSE THEY'RE BAFFLED BY MY INABILITY TO ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION. BUT I STILL HAVE THIS CONUNDRUM. WHAT DO I DO? PANIC.

You are playing a game with two boxes. Box A has $1,000 of guaranteed money. Box B either has $1,000,000 or $0. You can either pick only Box B or both boxes. However, you are also playing against a super-intelligent AI. If the AI predicts you will only take Box B, it will put $1,000,000 in Box B, but if it predicts you will take both boxes, it will put $0 in Box B. The AI’s result is not guaranteed to be accurate.
