  • Boss can't fire me because i'm japanese

    well obviously this is not real

  • Pazuzu rose to the position of chief post-editing demon around 2015 when Takihi, "the demon who eats beautiful actresses' clothing" retired/was cancelled under mysterious circumstances. His most ardent worshippers refer to this event as "Gamergate"

  • Why do they hate it then

    I believe it though. I was scared of ghosts and stuff as a kid and then I masturbated a lot as a teenager and stopped being scared of them completely

  • It's like 1/2 an inch of fluff, so not thick

  • Yes while I started typing it I tried to picture what American classrooms looked like (from Hollywood films etc) and realised they're not the same as where I live

  • Fake: anon slips on a puddle but classrooms are supposed to have carpeted floors

    Gay: anon hurts a woman and makes several girls scream

  • Quite embarrassing

  • Shitty Ask Lemmy @lemmy.ml

    People of Lemmy, I'm about to take my clothes off - but no peaking, alright? Alright??

  • Explain

  • That's fair enough, but I guess the premise of star wars is that they've always known about the force since pre-space times (Though literature outside of the movies explains the opposite), so to me it seems more like just the fantasy premise of the series.

  • Honestly the only Bradbury novel I've read so far was Fahrenheit 451 (I loved it). That's probably not sci fi, because tho it is set in the future, the futuristic elements which couldn't exist today are spoke about in vague terms and it's more a story of highlighting what's wrong with our current society by extrapolating where it will go from here

  • One of the best documentaries I watched was Brian Cox's Solar System, so yes that's a very good example of how the purely scientific can create a pretty fantastical impression!

  • It strikes me as very sciencey.

    • The space travel, for instance, is "how could space travel actually work?" And even when they have a satisfying explanation for planet to planet travel, they need one for longer distances, so they introduce those wormhole gates? I haven't read very far into it
    • it tries to make space colonisation as realistic as possible, including the body horror

    the alien plague

    And therein lies the balance. Real science for where we know (or think we know) the boundaries of science, and completely theoretical fantasy for things we don't know about (the existence of alien life and what shape it might take)

  • Yes but I'm interested in other people's views on this. Thought it would cultivate interesting discussion

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Regarding Sci-fi: Do you prefer it to lean more into the Sci element or the Fi element?

  • It's weird how fun it is to pretend to be a streamer or gaming YouTuber. It's probably good practice incase you do actually want to do that

  • Ooh deadass? I don't think they have them in my city let alone country yet, but when they come, I'll be ready

  • I'm pretty sure I also wondered "holy crap is that guy really that big?" When I watched it

  • The biggest dude of all. A giant!

  • 😁👍

  • One of the things I hated most about reddit was just the sheer glut of celebrity worship.

    Really underappreciated point actually. They think they're "not like the other social media users" and then end up being worse than them allllllllll

  • Writing @sh.itjust.works

    Know of any books which tells a story across distinct snippets of someone's life, rather than a continuity?

  • Casual Conversation @piefed.social

    Do you find that you have to challenge/call people out on things a lot in your life?

  • Casual Conversation @piefed.social

    My life is getting weird. This week might be my very last one of treating reality like it's real and not just a wacky simulation.

  • Casual Conversation @piefed.social

    Freaked myself out with google calendar

  • Off My Chest @lemmy.world

    Going out and meeting people I don't know seems to leave me quite rattled

  • Writing @sh.itjust.works

    When writing a fantasy novel does it make more sense to appeal to a teenager audience or an adult one?
