The Bookwyrm

This caused the cabbage man to scream: "NO!!!! MY CABBAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!" Louder than he had ever screamed it before.

And the fact that the cabbages were cultivating a pollen that the Selffalfrednahgs were severely allergic to. And seeing that Selffalfrednahg sneezes destroy planets...

Bookwyrm was temporarily thrown off by Nameless's weird formatting choice.

This was because EoF was floating in space, where there is no air to carry sound waves.

I put yes on the second question, but the mechanics of it would be very wonky. Reminds me of this: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/a_bunch_of_rocks.png So yeah, possible, but difficult and not in the way most people would think.

...What?

Meanwhile, the Selffalfrednahgs began rebelling against the Cabbage Nation. They rescued the leaders of the Ghanderflaffles and the Eizards, and together, the three races formed the United Coalition Of Weird Creatures from The Longest Thread, or UCOWCFTLT. The UCOWCFTLT began forming an army to combat the cabbages that were slowly consuming the universe. The narrators continued their business on a secluded planet, unaware of the war that was about to begin around them.

Okay, sorry I'm a tiny bit late. I've been a little busy. ....Isn't this common knowledge? Or is that reserved only for Space Nerds? I agree, interstellar travel with where we are technology wise is a long way off. I think it's definitely possible, and achievable, in the future, however. Call me an optimist, but we shouldn't completely ignore those other stars and distant exoplanets. Yes, it may be two or three centuries down the line before we even get to the point where we have a solid plan to send humans to another star system, but it's something that can, and hopefully will, happen someday. But for those two or three centuries, I agree, we should focus on Solar System colonization. Moon! Yes, lots of good resources there. As I said in my last way-too-long rant, the moon also has water ice that could be converted into Hydrogen fuel. That, plus the H-3 you talked about and the fact that it has low gravity, would basically open up the rest of the solar system to us. So yes, the moon is definitely a place we want to be going to. Mars is literally the only other planet in the solar system that we can actually walk on conceivably without dying. It's pretty similar to Earth (Or at least used to be) but that in no way makes it hospitable, like you said. Mars is simply a good target because it's close, relatively hospitable, and can be used as an outpost for more exciting destinations. Venus: I have no idea why you'd want to go to Venus. But the whole "Let's turn it into a battery!" thing was new to me, so I guess there is some kind of resource there for us to harvest. Thank you for teaching me new things! It's also possible that there is something helpful and useful there, we just haven't found it yet, and we need to get a lot more advanced in technology before we can explore widely enough to find that resource. Mercury: Basically everything you said above fits what I thought about Mercury. Jupiter: Yes, the moons are viable and we can mine resources there. Maybe even set up stations and colonies. (I'd need to look at exactly how shielded from radiation those moons are, again...) But, you're forgetting something called.... SATURN!!!!! Yes, this is my favorite planet, so I may be somewhat biased, but seriously. Saturn's moons are just as viable as Jupiter's. (Unless once again I'm missing some important information on the lack of radiation shielding.) Saturn has more confirmed moons than Jupiter, not even counting the rings, and these moons hold just as many things for us as the ones of Jupiter. Jupiter's moon Europa may have life, but so may Saturn's moon Enceladus. Heck, we've discovered organic molecules spewing from gigantinourmous geysers on Enceladus! The other moons most likely contain the same resources that the ones of Jupiter do, and Saturn's rings are currently made almost entirely of water-ice, which is a helpful resource. Titan is an interesting world for research (because I like science), but it is also one of the most Earth-like worlds in the solar system. It has a storming atmosphere! And there are probably lots of resources there, too. And yes, Saturn is pretty. But that doesn't mean we should skip it. Uranus and Neptune: We don't really know what's out there yet, so there may be some kinds of viable resources. We should start with some scientific expeditions before we send economic ones. Who knows, maybe they have some valuable minerals on their moons, or something along those lines. Pluto: If we make Pluto a planet again, then we have to make, like, at least five other bodies - and possibly dozens or even hundreds more - planets as well, because they all follow the same rules as Pluto. So Pluto should not be a planet. But it can be a really, really, really cool dwarf planet. (Seriously, there are some cool things on Pluto. And it has five moons.) On a more serious note, the entirety of the Kuiper belt probably holds vast amounts of resources for us to harvest. Both on the dwarf planets and the asteroids. I briefly mentioned it above, but the Kuiper belt is huge, so it has likely tens of thousands of asteroids, and maybe hundreds of undiscovered dwarf planets. Which means lots of places to get resources from. The asteroid belt is much smaller, but there are also lots of resources there for us. So there you have it. My next huge rant, which is mostly about why Saturn is worth our time.

I put what I did, but I actually think this would depend on the Jedi's and the Mistborn's skill level. If you had Yoda against a newly snapped Mistborn who barely had any training, Yoda would win. But if you had Vin from Hero of Ages against some random Jedi who just passed the trials, then Vin would win. If you have two equally skilled individuals duking it out, it comes down to luck, random advantages, and the terrain and surroundings. Now, what would happen if you had two force sensitive lightsaber-wielding Mistborn pitted against each other...

When you're a Sanderfan and also the oldest of six children, you do what you have to do. Which also includes getting your ten-year-old sister (who has a VERY high reading level relative to her age) to read Mistborn. And then pestering her about it constantly to get her to read faster.

Thirteen Sky Bison.

Why did those guys just get pummeled by an evil villain in a creepy mask? NO! MY CABBAGES!!!

Ah yes. I temporarily forgot this thread was a thing. 125.

What would happen?

It depends on how sleepy I am. TPBM has eaten a cooked bug.

Can you tell me about it?

Parmesan. But I normally don't really like cheese. TPBM has had chocolate cheese. (I have not.)

What? No, I have not. But now I want to. The Person Below Me is thirsty for water right now.

Isn't it annoying that you can't get a concrete answer at all on this thread? (Am I using rhetoric illegally without realizing it?)

I put "Um...ants can't screw in lightbulbs???", but I think that if they were given direction and had the capacity to understand such direction, they could probably do it. I just don't know how many it would take. The AI one stumped me. I had never really thought about it. I think that an AI could hypothetically get pretty close to sentience, to the point of achieving it, but I do not know, or what the implications of that would be. It might be that it could simulate certain aspects of sentience, to the point that living beings perceived it as sentient, but it wasn't actually sentient itself. I do believe in souls. (I am religious, see my signature.) I don't know if a sentient AI would have a soul, though. Good questions! They made me think.

Oh man, I want to learn how to play Pai Sho... Something tells me that I would enjoy playing it, but be terrible at it. (I have the same problem with chess.) Edit: Look what I found! https://skudpaisho.com/site/ Look at that and see if you can find anything interesting. It would seem as though many different interpretations and versions of it have been made over the years. That website has quite a few available. (You might have to click some links.)

How did you guys end up posting so many questions so fast?

How do we combat such a powerful and dangerous creature?! ...Wait, how did it get out of the mirror in the first place?

When your little siblings are watching some little kids show and you keep thinking to yourself that the talking inanimate objects are Type IV Biochromatic Entities. When you are tasked with putting those same little siblings down for their nap, and they ask for a story, and you tell them "The Girl who Looked Up" and "The Dog and the Dragon." And then later they ask for "The Girl who Looked Up" again.

"Wait....how can you be older than Time?" Bookwyrm asked Render. "Doesn't age imply that Time would have to exist for you to be that old? Also, when wasn't there Time? It's the fourth dimension! It's always existed!"
