#terrifying technology

[bruh-please]

HSO thought

So, doctors will sometimes cauterize wounds to stop or minimize bleeding (I think), I guess it's just kind of crazy to think about that. But imagine an alien visiting their human friend, and for some reason cauterization gets brought up, and the human friend casually talks about themself getting a wound cauterized and the alien friend is horrified bc that isn't something that happens in space?

Idk y'all, human medical technology and techniques are absolutely wild and bonkers, we see it all as normal and whatnot, but what about aliens that have never seen or heard of techniques that we use regularly?

Log 8.6-ASL/H, by Krrilli (Konith, Xeneath Prime/Xeneath VII, Sector 3 - Segment Alpha, '''-'--''-)

"Hello, carbon-based endoskeletal reader. You know how humanity has developed rudimentary adaptive learning algorithms (which they named artificial intelligence, AIs for short) much before becoming third stage spacefaring species.

As natural to other young races they have greatly integrated it into their technology over the last three centuries. I cannot stress how aberrant it is, but the Confederation allows it, so they have it. Most of their machines and complex systems utilize relatively rudimentary ALAs, ranging between type 3 (input -> built-in answer) and type 5 (can create new answers to new inputs based on built-in answers), but are unable to feel emotions or think. Like all ALAs.

It is however witnessed how humans cling to their adorable behavior of giving personification to objects and this extends to their AIs. I have witnessed myself two humans treating terminals as their own, "cuddling". I don't know if this is their term. a rifle before a training exercise, and even curse a vehicle's bloodline after it failed to pass through obstacles.

In one instance, however, I came to greatly disagree with the Confederation's categorizations of their ALAs. I was covering an Exorith invasion in one of their mining stations and I deeply believe to have witnessed an armored vehicle's cannon (which had failed minutes ago) fire again after a quick prayer from its operator.

Whether this phenomena was my bias, a psychic/methaphysical effect, a new biological matter manipulation trait, a hidden mechanism, ignorance, an unknown function in the machine, or sheer dumb luck is still under study. Close log."

hi im ranting (positively! this game kills me but in a good way) about breath of the wild again

i know it's controversial but i love the way the story of the game is told. because you start the game in the middle, perhaps near the end, of the story. the game is entirely through link's perspective and he wakes up knowing and remembering nothing. in turn, the player starts off knowing nothing. the past is revealed as the story goes along, and the player learns about the past and about the land as link does. there are little tidbits about hyrule and about the calamity scattered across the land. an old woman in hateno village tells you of an age of desolation that she grew up in. the travellers you see on the road are younger people because they're described by older characters as more bold, whereas the older characters grew up being told to never leave the village, it's too dangerous outside (compare this even to tears of the kingdom, where travellers are more common because the land has been safer. even older characters have left their home to travel elsewhere (not including the lurelin villagers)). battlefields are still strewn with old rusty weapons and deactivated guardians that no one but monsters will go near. myths and legends about the princess and hero have been passed down, to the point where their legitmacy is questioned and everyone has a different opinion on them.

it's environmental storytelling. it's things like seeing drawings and a bow in zelda's study and seeing a child reading a storybook with a hero that wears a blue tunic similar to link's. it's the stories that the villagers share about old myths that turn out to be true. it's the ruins scattered across the land, long since overtaken by monster camps but still unmistakably being houses that people once lived in. it's the utter lack of civilization anywhere remotely near the castle and the feeling of dread in the ruins of the town that surrounds it. it's a kingdom entrenched in its past, with no ability to move away from it until the calamity is finally defeated.

ngl while it's good that people are becoming more wary of new technologies and would rather take their time with integrating it into their daily lives I do fear that the climate of tumblr is turning many people into technophobes

Woe, angst be upon yee

Think about this plot for more than a minute and it'll start to fall apart probably but just uhhh please don't think about it too much😞🙏

So Sosu has been frozen for over 210 years, they came from a world that wasn't as irradiated as the Commonwealth is currently, so, why not give them radiation poisoning?

They feel fine when they first step out but even still, they can just feel things are different, everything, even the air, feels contamimated. Over the many years, most of the radiation has disappeared, people of the Commonwealth have grown a tolerance to the low amount of radiation that still persists, but Sosu being completely new to this world has no such tolerance and even with a radiation suit slowing the process, the poisoning still seeps into them, slowly starting to kill them. At first it's barely noticeable but the closer they get to their goal, the weaker they seem to get.

First true problem presents itself, the Dimly-lit desert- I mean the Glowing Sea. Even with the power armor taking most of the radiation, by the time they get to the insitute, they're severely ill. The fatigue, the effects of the radiation, it's all obvious. Despite never knowing them it pains the Father to see them in such a way, perhaps it was cruel to let them out of their frozen prison.

Nonetheless the institute is smart, has people to deal with what radaway can't heal, and so with time Sosu is cured but it's made clear to them; any trips to Commonwealth are risky, simply put their body can't handle the radiation.

Obviously there are companions that want the Institute destroyed, but I wonder how they'd react to this? Going off of the assumption that they're close to Sosu, just how willing would they be to write their death sentence by demanding them to destroy the only thing that can help them stay alive? The thing that'd let the companion keep their close friend, maybe their lover, alive? How willing would they be to sacrifice the person whose been there for them this entire time, despite Sosu having their own struggles to deal with?

And with X6? Oh with X6 just think about it. Time passes and he's, dare he say, attached to the future leader. Slowly, without his notice, he's started to truly care. How would he take it, hearing other companions, or faction leaders, demand that Sosu does the "right thing" and destroy the Institute, destroy the only place where they can roam free without a hazmat suit, without having to worry about radiation?

He'd be kinda angry about it I think

HELP

[mahkinarya]

I hype myself up for my Asian parent-mandated medical-related course by making art for it apparently Fun fact the test tube they’re holding contains culture medium known as a butt-slant (the butt part being the lower flat portion). You stick the inoculating loop with the sample in the butt and you drag it out in a zig-zag pattern over the slant as you pull it out. The more you know (I know you should wear a mask in a bacteriology lab. Shhhh)

main thing that scares me about moving to the west is that i'm so used to the comforts here that i won't be able to adapt. like what if i move to a city that doesn't have door to door public transport that literally costs like 3 pennies and this gum i found
