    the following is a continuation of my previous SU about how we know nothing as individuals and how we're all standing on a mountain of knowledge built by our predecessors 

    so i was thinking about that again right
    about how much collective knowledge we have. 
    all the technologies and just...things that we have today

    so i started thinking about what things people from the past would be shocked at if they knew we had
    people commonly point out smartphones and electricity and stuff
    which, yeah, they would definitely be shocked at that

    my mind went there first as well, which makes sense, i'm a very techy computery person
    but i realized that, recognized my own biases, so I intentionally went in the opposite direction
    sure, they'd be shocked at all the new things we have
    but in a way
    i think they'd be more shocked at all the things we don't.

      Okay, but I have come up with dozens of epic theories and such only to realize some scientist thought of it first. Makes me wonder how much I could explain to a pilgrim child…

      I wonder if we could get people together, and then see how far they could advance civilization if they were sent back to a certain year.

      I have no idea what you’re talking about and it’s scaring me a little.

      wait i have an idea

      SCP-XXXX
      CLASS: KETER
      SECURE CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:
      There is currently no way to completely contain SCP-XXXX. Disengagement Groups Theta-19 and Bravo-15 are to be dedicated to spreading information confirming the 'non-anomalous' status of SCP-XXXX. Foundation Webcrawler 17645 (4k4rm) is to monitor for any signs of SCP-XXXX becoming public knowledge and for new SCP-XXXX instances.
      DESCRIPTION:
      SCP-XXXX:
      SCP-XXXX is a form of microparasite capable of infecting television screens located within bowling alleys. There is no known way of detecting instances of SCP-XXXX before its anomalous properties manifest (SCP-XXXX-1). How SCP-XXXX feeds or reproduces is unknown, though it has been theorized that instances feed off the collection of confused amusement in the localized emotional metasphere (Dr. Nexad, Localized Metaspheres and their Manifestations, 1987). 
      SCP-XXXX-1:
      SCP-XXXX-1 is the manifestation of the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is a collection of poorly rendered 3d animations that appear on the device that an SCP-XXXX instance inhabits. These animations are generally nonsensical, but older manifestations seem to trend towards thematic relatability with the location in which the host of SCP-XXXX resides, usually a bowling alley. The animations are unpredictable, changing daily. The content of the animations is generally shocking or unexpected, examples shown in the table below. 

      and i'm bored now so i'm not gonna continue it
      if you don't know what the SCP foundation is this isn't gonna make any sense lol

    You're a fullborn, compound it.
  6. dannnex
    they'd have to get close enough for that you can fly and move at super ultra speed and even if they do capture you, good luck keeping you there
  7. dannnex
    i doubt any current government would be able to capture you. at least not for long. fullborn powers are absolutely godlike.

    I don’t think a hemalurgically/feruchemically charged metal counts as a different metal. it might have an additional affect when burned, but it’s still the same metal it was before it was charged.

      Spoiler

      alright one more thing

      i was right

      narrator is a character

      and that character is hoid

      hi hoid

      i wonder who he's telling this story to

      also this love story is so cute and i love it

      when Charlie started to say that Tess was like his gloves i tossed my head back with a smile and audibly "awwwwww"ed

      WOAH WOAH WOAH
      "AETHER SPORES"??????
      this changes everything

      i guess that explains the water

      i wonder if sand mastery is actually also just an aether magic

      also hoid's narration is great and actually incredibly in-character for him

    Sometimes i like to think about how utterly useless we are as individuals 

    reminder: you are no better than prehistoric man. they were equally as intelligent, we just have years of compounded knowledge

    like, look around you right now, choose any random object. now imagine you were instantly transported to a gazillion years ago. lets assume you can't die of starvation or illness and nothing is trying to kill you. do you think you could make an exact replica of that object before you die of old age? \

    99.9999999% of cases, no you can't.

    i wouldn't be able to make a pencil. think about all the design that's gone into something like that. the exact type of wood, the yellow paint coating, the composition of the rubber tip. all the machining and technique required to do even the simplest thing.

    i can look around right now, and i don't think there is a single object that i would be able to replicate in this hypothetical scenrio

    bottle cap: no
    wooden baseboard: almost, but no idea how to make paint or nails
    a nickel: noooo way
    shoelace: wouldn't even know where to start

    and the thing is, i don't think anyone alive today would be able to either
    sure, plenty of people would be able to thrive in scenarios like this, some survivalist people are insane
    like you could definitely make substitutions for all of these. a crude pencil or shoelace wouldn't be that tough if you know what you're doing
    but nobody would even come close to accurately replicating them. 

    we are standing on the shoulders of millions of giants

      Fair enough, I was mainly making a joke (though even then, it would still be possible to polish it, though one would likely have to test several materials nearby).

       

      Incidentally, there is at least one YouTube channel dedicated to showing how various ancient tools were made and could be used - https://www.youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550/videos. I do agree, bootstrapping would definitely be difficult, and I actually have an idea for a story involving an immortal trapped on a planet and having to go from nothing (as in, they start wounded and naked, but unable to die) to developing a rocket or other type of device to leave the planet.

    KNIGHTS OF WIND AND TRUTH
    I WAS ALMOST RIGHT
    i was convinced it would be Knights of Wind and that he'd just drop the 'T'
    instead he kept the 'T' and added an 'A'
    BUT WOOOOOOOOO

      Well it ends on the holiday right? Not when the present is delivered :P

      That's my logic

    1. putting something in quotes and labeling it as stereotypical/cliche doesn’t make it illogical and/or untrue 2. didn’t say that, just asked for a reason on an unexplained vote. the fact that it happened to be a vote on me is irrelevant strongly disliking Kas’s posts so far, but let’s see how i feel in the morning. he seems way too confident for this early in the game.
  20. dannnex
    obviously at kas meant *reasoning* for a read my bad
  21. dannnex
    said the person who hasn't posted a dannex read yet. i think we're all more interested in yours.

    Ah but some of us aren't in the inner circle. I will always operate under the following principle as a villager: If a piece of information does not help the Elim team, it should be shared with the Village. I believe I have expressed this maaaaaany times, so should be no surprise. If they realize they've revealed themselves in the IC doc.
  24. dannnex
    Not entirely sure but more info never hurts the village the elim team can spectate the inner circle so they already know no reason we shouldn't know too it would help us figure out when exlo actually is
  25. dannnex
    I think this game is very elim-leaning, so I'd hope for a smaller sized team. I think sizes of 3 and 4 have about an equal probability of being true. Depends on how mean our lovely GM was feeling. Hoefully we can learn how big the inner circle is eventually. Like if someone knows they're gonna get elim-killed they can tell the rest of us before they die. I have no idea how to even approach guessing how many there might be.
