I’ve found a genre of animal that I really enjoy, I’m calling it “big scary animal and close relative that’s literally just big scary animal but much smaller”. What do you guys think? Do you have any more examples?
@MonteLeCleane@DraghettisSplat@inkblotPrincess We had a pretty decent understanding of what the moon was, its orbit, and its lack of life by the time Marx was an adult. Hell, iirc there already some very, very early ideas for chemical-powered rocketry as a means for moon expeditions by the time Marx died.
@MonteLeCleane@DraghettisSplat@inkblotPrincess Dude, that was like the 1600s lmao. Scientists had already deducted the moon’s lack of atmosphere through observing the lack of light refraction of stars as they passed behind the moon in the 1700s. By the 1800s, Marx’s time, we had fully mapped and named the Earth-facing side.
@TalesofKaimere@JurassicLion We do have evidence of material from Earth hitting the moon during the impact, glass from roughly 66 million years ago found in Lunar samples, but I’d imagine anything biotic would vaporize upon impacting the Lunar surface, purely from how fast it’d have to be going to get there.
@RBaggys@ghostband26@DevotionDream Plus that was a dumbed down lesson for little baby Yuji who had essentially no idea how anything jujutsu related worked at all, there’s a good chance Gojo oversimplified, used an imperfect analogy, or intentionally left out barrier techniques to avoid confusing Yuji.
@AshfiqDanial@ghostband26@DevotionDream This would kinda make his ability pointless, no? Thats like having infinite energy but you can only use it to charge an iPod. You functionally don’t have infinite energy because you can’t use it, even if you do on paper. I suppose that would explain why he’s “weak” comparatively.
@ghostband26@DevotionDream Like, he should be able to brute force his way into replicating almost any feat we see in the series with that much CE. CE blasts, even crude technique replications, anything. The only reason I can think of as to why not is just because Hakari is canonically an idiot lol
@ghostband26@DevotionDream Since they eat CE, I wonder if they would just instantly explode from catastrophic expansion when entering his CE aura. There’s a so much stuff Hakari should be able to do with an infinite supply of CE, but he’s somehow a punch and kick merchant. He’s Gege’s very own Atom Eve lol
@siickohs@pocolocofan9468 Do be clear, there’s nothing inherently feminine about those things, just that they would be to a man with traditionalist views. What could all this imply? I’m not sure. It could very well just be pointing out hypocrisy/double standards, or it could be smth deeper, as you said.
@siickohs@pocolocofan9468 Yeah, I think that’s the implied intention with his character that a lot of people miss. He’s very outwardly misogynistic, and yet he has ear piercings, wears eyeliner, his domain is shaped like a uterus, and, well, people have already mentioned his… unique… shape as a curse.
@MettatonDickRdr@huskpupz It’s killing me that people don’t seem to be noticing the Scott Manley mention, literally WHAT overlap could their fanbases possibly have 😭😭
@CanadaDry42@LastGoonVildor@Riggstalks In other words, humans just create the cursed energy that the souls inhabit, not the souls themselves, which were already/always there. Iirc that’s how they stop curses from being born, by changing human CE so souls can’t inhabit it when built up. This is explained in Modulo.
@CanadaDry42@LastGoonVildor@Riggstalks Nah, they probably can, based on what we know. Curses are created when cursed energy collects like sediment, and that sediment builds up enough to become a suitable vessel for a soul. Nothing saying those souls can’t reincarnate into human or even animal vessels too, afaik.
@Segages1999@jib_loger_alt The other one was just a dead whale on its front though???? It’s so obviously a whale that I remember finding it frustrating when people would say the real image was a decomposed lizard or something as a kid, because of how obviously-a-beluga (what it actually is) it was.
@RickRaptor105@dino_man06 Wow, I had no idea about some of these. Haikouichthys is actually really cool, I used to say I thought the parietal eye making chordates an ancestrally 3-eyed group was cool, and once I drew a theoretical incredibly basal 4-eyed chordate ancestor. Cool to know that’s real now!
@Potatoe_salaad@Kbronproyectado There are plenty of animals we’ve bred or used to go out and find/retrieve stuff for us, that doesn’t mean they’re sophont. He could’ve just gave them the command to find a box and return to him when they found it and lead him to it, all possible without the fish being sophont.
