Meatloaf is a classically trained opera singer, and wanted to make rock ballads. I can understand people not getting it. Bat out of Hell II, Back into Hell was where he really hit his stride.

Mercury used to be bigger than it currently is. The only thing that’s survived the wrath of The Sun is its core.

I was envisioning a story where sperm whales became the dominant species of the galaxy with sonic beams. Maybe more Deathworlders Fuck Yeah?

IIRC the radio scripts were the very first version. Which means that the joke in the radio show was probably deliberate.

I know for a fact that in the books there’s a throwaway gag that the petunias thought, “Oh no, not again,” and the narrator mentions something about the fact that if anyone knew what that meant, the universe might make a whole lot more sense.

Now this is an HFY prompt.

On Dec. 3 1941, the US as a whole was quite content supplying the allies with everything they needed materially. We had told the USSR to just make tanks, we would give them everything else, including the ammunition for said tanks. Letting the USSR take a win was certainly preferable to what happened after they took a loss at the end of WWI.

I wonder what could have possibly happened on Dec. 4, 1941, that got the country to collectively say, “Fuck that. We aren’t sitting by anymore.”

I just suggested it, as I played in a campaign as a Dweomersmith/Wizard with a Loremaster/Cleric, and a Psionic Monk. We were pretty much unstoppable, even without our followers.

Wouldn’t divination be more accurate if it is a Loremaster Cleric?

I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just different than their normal smell

I can smell when a woman is pregnant. I’ve shocked several friends by congratulating them before they even took a test.

We could create and detonate about a ton of antimatter. That should be enough to crack the planet again.

According to my mother, I have only needed 4 hours of sleep in a given 24 hours, since I was born. Same for my brother that is 3 years younger than I am. Finally in my mid 40s, I have to take a 30 minute nap occasionally, mostly if I’m bored.

I would have thought a spider was impossible to pet had I not seen this. Chill little fella.

Democracy can and will work once a simple rule is implemented. Namely: no one who wants the power to rule should ever be allowed anywhere near power. Of course the rich won’t allow such a law to be passed, and enforcing it is the stuff of thought crime dystopic nightmares, but I’m sure we can overcome those small issues.

Repeal the Taft Hartley Act would be a start

Dyson Sphere Program is closer in gameplay than Satisfactory, for a 3-D variety

Good luck Madagascar!

Bicycles. If we could have gotten bicycles a few centuries before cars, I don’t think modern cities would be so damn car centric.

Someone should tweet that right back at “Round The Homeless Up and Imprison Them” Newsom

I wonder if the seal is using the mud as sunscreen, similarly to how pigs do.
