  1. Hi. Welcome! If you could have a cosmere creature as a pet, what would it be?
  2. When they push on the planet's core, they would move it (let's assume they figured out the logistics to make it work), but they would only move it a very small amount. So small that other forces acting on the planet are likely greater than it, and the net force acting on the planet would likely remain practically the same, especially if a meteorite or something counteracts the force of the push on the other side. But if the only goal is too move the planet, you can do it. You just won't notice because the planet has so much inertia that it will resist your push and disperse its force to the point where the applied force is negligible.
  3. Welcome to the Shard!
  4. Hi! Welcome to the Shard. What's a yeet?
  5. Agreed. Thank you @Cadmium Compounder for being an excellent host. I look forward to seeing you around the Shard!
  6. It's been possessed...
  7. No, although we could use one as impartial referees for duels... Edit: it misread that as mediating. But a place to stretch my sword arm wouldn't hurt either.
  8. Leave dungeons and dragons out of this. @Sahin the Just I accept your monkey. I will name it Frank.
  9. I forgive you. We're cool. *semi-awkward virtual fist bump*
  10. I assumed you were just a terrible baker. It makes sense when you think about it, why would an assassain know how to bake? The taste was probably from you burning them or something. The real killer was the shards of glass sprinkled in the dough. I didn't stand a chance against that.
  11. Strictly speaking its ambiguous why the cookie killed me. @Sahin the Just never said it was poison. I take the view that it killed me in a manner healable by bloodsealing. After a quick stamping, my health was restored.
  12. Although judging by their how clumsy their assassaination attempts are recently, you've nothing to worry about. I mean, at least have the decency to finish the job @Tineye Navigator...
  13. Merchants of death. Don't worry about them, they are mostly focussed on other pursuits than killing random members.
  14. @Tineye Navigator luckily Archer created the chalking, designing it with flaws and mental blocks for just this scenario! Archer's chalking destroys what it thinks is Archer, but is really just a decoy. Meanwhile, the real Archer watches from a safe distance, hiding in his space station and wondering why someone's out to kill him.

    Hullo

    Hi! In your opinion, which SA book is the best?
  16. Oh sorry, did I just break the rules?
  17. Cantaloupe, fluttering paper makes a duck.
  18. What? You dare speak ill of the the great Alcatraz Smedry? I have half a mind to chuck a teddy bear in your mailbox. A pink one.
  19. Hi. What's your favourite book?
  20. If you could taste a colour, which would you choose? And what do you think it would taste like? How many dragons does it take to change a lightbulb? If Thor fought a man in a chicken costume (who was holding a small basket of potted ferns), how could the man win? If you were in a room filled entirely with people named Gary, and I mean filled - thousands of Gary's packed into a concert hall for a big convention - and you were the only one not named Gary, what would you do? Would you try and conceal your identity? Or rise up and become the leader of the Gary's? Or try and escape the Gary's before they find out who you are?!?
  21. @Sahin the Just There were several witnesses. Isn't that enough?
  22. @Sahin the Just! Yes, I am back from the dead. As luck would have it, I happen to know a good Bloodsealer. Otherwise that cookie you gave me would have killed me for good!
  23. Welcome! Hi! Exclamation points! What's your favourite cosmere book?
  24. What if you could make a chalkling that could think? Life is made out of cells. Each of the cells in our body are relatively basic, having only a few simple functions. When combined with trillions of other cells, they make living organisms which are able to act and think independently. It would be easy enough to draw a 'cell' chalkling, and then give it the commands it needs to contribute to the system. If you practiced enough, and used small enough chalk, you might be able to get the shape down to (random estimate) the size of a dime. Then if you repeated this process trillions of times, keeping them close together and connected all the cells to each other, you could make a brain. An insanely massive brain, but a brain all the same. If you could accomplish this, would it make a sentient chalkling? EDIT: Google puts the size of a dime at 18mm. Therefore, the area of one cell would be 2.54 x 10^-4 km². Multiplied by 37 trillion cells in the average human body, the surface area the chalkling would cover is 9398 km². That's about the size of Jamacia. Which is smaller than I thought it would be. But that's for the whole body. There's only about 100 billion cells is the human brain. So just to make the brain, you'd need an area of 25.4 km². I'm not sure if you'd need other organs like the heart as well to make it work, or if it could survive on its own.
