The Real World Discussion Thread

Bruh, I'm surprised no one has pointed out tiering system limitations yet. And staff who knows tiers 10 to 9 long enough will eventually point out oversimplified tiering system limits.

Regular people can do 9-C stuff, it's just that it would make athletes technically 10-B (which wouldn't make any sense, surprised no one thought out this contradiction).

Also, this is Real World verse stuff, so this should realistically apply in-case you're trying to raise 10-B

"
Be more realistic and careful when scaling entities around tiers Below Average Human level to Street level, as the tiering system becomes inconsistent due to the tiering system being oversimplified.
  • Examples:
    • Humans having Street level energy output on their legs and gravitational potential energy when anyone is capable of injuring a person with a full punch. And yet, athletes can exert below this energy output.
"
Okay, thanks for explanation about Tugia's scalings. Also should Caracals and Servals be upgraded to 10b or not? What do you think?
 
I am curious: Are we planning to rework the "animalistic" tier for intelligence? I feel like it currently underrepresents the actual intelligence of most animals.
 
so uh, what's the general consensus on my gpe calcs (I fixed them fr this time)

I honestly feel like we should raise Wall level since no human has even punched through a wall before
These aren't really traditional physical blows (they're not getting hit by something solid), and that still doesn't counter the "Hmmm, a 10-B punch breaks through a human that can tank 4 Gs" when the punch should've mathematically added up to 9-C through faster speed and mass, yet and it doesn't have that speed or mass. Defacto powerscaling isn't traditional powerscaling when you have to factor in that IRL doesn't break any law of physics, and the most direct methods of calcing AP are the most reliable ones.

People get severely injured by 9-B falls, if that were the case that Gs = physical blows, we should see a lot more cases where people tank 9-B attacks and 9-C would be a lot higher in threshold by now considering it was revised years ago.

Evidence?

Depends on their physical build (clarify the build please with sources), anything can be dangerous with enough bites and vital tissue damage.

Uh... We did have multiple posts about animals demonstrating intelligence feats, I'mma just reply them so both of you have an easier time discussing this.






Yeah there's quite a few sources here and there, it does help reinforce that we should be more ecocentric rather than anthropocentric



^referring to both Flashlight's and my posts.

I wonder how many social animals (as in ones that commonly live in groups) have demonstrated high levels of intelligence (by human standards) beyond the ones we already know of (corvids, pigs, elephants, apes, octopi, etc)...
^these too.

Also, H3, I need your opinion on these:
Speaking of which, perhaps these could be considered for addition as references for the Composite Human.

(the list of peeps with multiple degrees specifically)
We probably should also update the Human Race page to stay up to date with modern sources on stuff like how long Homo Sapiens has actually existed, the size of the human population and the quantity of weapons and whatnot.

The Homo genus has been around for at least 2+ million years (2.775±0.025 specifically going off of LD 350-1), the earliest pure/definite Homo sapiens specimen was 0.40-0.20 million years ago (if using the Sale cranium) or 315±32 thousand years ago (if using the Jebel Irhoud fossils) (though there were earlier fossils showing a mixture/admixture of features from both (and possible proof of interbreeding between) archaic previous Homo species and early modern Homo sapiens).

As for civilisations, debatable on what civilisations consist of but there's probably these we can use:

Should update this to 8+ billion with the current estimates.

We could use these (though these articles themselves may also need updating):

Not sure if we could consider adding the people from these lists:

Again, back to the post containing the list of posts with links to Wikipedia pages for sourcing and finding entries to the Real World verse page in them:

Also, again, reposting possibly important links for Real World and Composite Human stuff:
Also, on a side note, we may need to look through the Composite Human and Common Feats threads, I had quite a few other useful links in there too for either the Composite Human or real life stuff in my messages that would probably be better to find in one place so I'm linking the threads here to indicate which threads I've linked stuff in regarding said topics:







Posts with relevant Wikipedia links for possible entries to the VSBW Real World verse page:

We could probably consider wildebeest/gnu, buffaloes, bison, etc if they're not already included?
We need to add rheas, wildebeest/gnu, trumpeter swans, Dalmatian pelicans, more dog breeds like the Akita and German Shepherd and Malinois and whatno, snowy/wandering albatrosses, etc (I checked through the verse, they aren't in there)
 
^these too.
THere's a bunch of animal species we know and don't know, and the examples we do know may not represent the average or majority of species.

In regards to anything composite human, it needs to have actual stronger foundations for nonreplicable feats (which the scientific method demands), and there needs to be a compiled list of accepted changes. My time is stacked with college, Mage and the Demon Queen and trying fix much of the current real world verse page. Speaking of changes, do you have any wiki editing experience? If you have not even at least 5 mins to edit, that would help speed stuff up in regards to IRL.

Do I need CRTs for new pages though? (Also we'd need to add placeholders in the Real World verse page to link to the profile pages for the additions, right?)

If the change improves readability, grammar and doesn't fundementally change what's communicated, you're allowed to edit stuff in official pages. However, if it's fundemental stuff like changing statistics (Attack Potency, Durability, etc), or any power/ability, you'd need a CRT. (there may be vague lines between what needs a CRT, but if you feel like you don't know if something needs a CRT, then don't be afraid to ask for changes in the content revision or questions and answers section of this forum)

Placeholders from what I remember from the context of what you said are optional, but go ahead. By the way, keep an eye on your time management. This wiki is fundementally still addictive social media.
 

(heaviest flying bird in the world)

(bird with longest wingspan in the world)

(largest overall bird in the world)

Probably worth adding these to the Cenozoic Era section.



Hey Tugia, here to talk as I said.
Definitely interested in conversing about this, especially since we have peeps surviving insane g-force both sustained repeatedly (John Stapp) and experienced instantly (as you mentioned in the 2nd part, but you haven't mentioned other outliers like Kenny Brack and Karl Wendlinger).


Time Manip for humanity


We need to add this too.
We need to add these to composite human too.
 

We'll have to keep watching these pages for sure.

Is there a way to add images in bulk...? (Welp I need to upload images and wait a bit before being able to add them to the galleries, that's gonna be very time-consuming.)
Please, help upload the Wikipedia images into VSBW.

 
Also, unsure if we could add the rosary pea, gympie-gympie, strychnine, castor bean, nightshade, hemlock, etc since they can also kill or very severely negatively affect other organisms through physical and chemical means (stinging thorns/spines, poison, etc)?

Also unsure if we could add Pando or other clonal organisms to Civilisations in the Real World verse page, need to check in with you all.

AND THE HUMAN RACE PAGE IS PROTECTED, CAN ANYONE MAKE IT LESS PROTECTED SO REGULAR PEEPS LIKE US CAN EDIT?!

^Just quickly compressing these into one message to refer to so it's easier for us to see what needs to be done, I also really need help from anyone who can edit in source, I'm more used to editing in visual, source is extremely bulky in text for both the Real World verse page and Composite Human page in source and images still need to be uploaded either way, H3 is very busy with college and work and I'll also be unavailable today so requesting assistance from others who are free.

I've seen pretty much 90%+ of your replies in this reply of yours by now, in reference to anything for composite human and the human race, the ability needs to be nonmundane [a subjective yet needed unwritten rule for any ability in general]. The human race should only include what the overall species can do which includes what most/any nation or the great powers right now can do. Composite human should only include the high-end capabilities of any human. Your suggestions are generally ok to apply in regards to composite human and the human race.

The Real Life verse page is made as a reference point and because a lot of profiles there generally don't give out the same controversial vague lines as a profile for Mike Tyson or this angry mustache man. Clonal organisms and Pando are fine, but only if most people would generally accept they are civilizations despite vague lines on what is a civilization. People would accept Pando in the other or plants category in the real world page. I'm not sure if the gigachad Argentine Supercolony would count considering it doesn't fit traditional definitions of civilization.

The human race is a political yet a frequent civilization that is overpowered frequently within fiction, that's why it's still here. But that's also a major reason why it's locked for edits as the wiki itself stated it doesn't want to involve political or real world figures. You don't want Mike Tyson as a profile reference point if that also includes Logan Paul or Donald Trump, that's how careful staff are. You might as well prevent any politically controversial vandalism for the human race's profile.

True, but I was thinking more of updating statistics on weapons and population and stuff with regards to the human species/race, but yeah we can leave out the notable people (famous and wealthy and powerful people) parts then.

Added the animals and plants (and bacteria and the blister beetle Meloidae and amoeba and other protists and whatnot) to the Real World verse page (honestly wondering if we might end up indexing, categorising and listing every single organism in the Universe in the Real World verse page or if we will just stick to those that are record-setting or notable for unique reasons), may need help with clonal organisms.
Will need help adding the martial arts to the Composite Human (those that aren't already included that is).

It's generally better to start with a sandbox first on any of the wikis, Maybewantstoedit and I were working on one, I'll pull that up to help you polish any information that will be presented before posting it.

Edit: Here's the link

I added the placeholder images so far, haven't made pages for them yet. (I meant to say I added the images of all of them into the Real World Verse page, but not made actual articles for them.)

What we do know is it has Superhuman speed (32 mph), Large Size Type 0 (10 ft or 3.048 m tall), and AT LEAST 9-C durability (due to being bulletproof)

We're that much closer to mass-producing humanoid robots that may actually be viable then I guess. (Would want to see exactly how powerful a fully functioning humanoid robot could be at most compared to the strongest humans... I suspect they would be capable of surpassing human physical and mental limits/capabilities (having access to all the knowledge we have, and being able to withstand and exert more physical energy than humans) but they would still have no ability to withstand our other creations, weapons in particular, unless specifically being built to resist them and even then there's only so much resistance that can be done/resistance still has limits, no pure immunity to our most destructive weapons, so welp they'd basically be just about better, but not by much, than humanity.)

That being said, that's if they're working alone... if they work together and are capable of evolving and improving themselves without limits they would also surpass us in the ability to create and improve stuff...
I wonder if there's a way to pit an "ideal realistically feasible and viable robotic species" and the human species against each other with the same amount and types of resources and population and see which would end up being superior both on the individual and collective scale.

On individual level it's obviously robots, but on a collective scale it's still most likely humans. It's just way too hard to make the same amount of robots, without draining Earth's resources of iron, oil and etc, so humanity most likely still will be way more populated than any sentient robot species

I should have added the extra condition of the robot species and human species both having the same population when pitted against each other but yeah even then robots, while being able to create and improve themselves faster than us, would eventually be deprived of resources that are essential to their functioning, while we could repopulate ourselves with less strain on resources, but it takes longer for us to actually replace ourselves.

Wait I already DID add the same population condition oof.

But I'm unsure as to which side would run out of resources first, since we'd also have to factor in attempts of both sides to sabotage and deny/deprive each other of resources... and then there's the matter of whether said resources can be replenished and how fast either side can make weapons and whatnot as well.
