Expanding the References for Common Feats page

Looking at this calc, can this be a standard for travelling across the entire earth in seconds?
 
Yeah, "traveling across earths in seconds" is not suitable for common feats as it depends entirely on how long.
One really can't simplify it further than "Know the timeframe? Divide earth circumference by it and you have your result".
 
Does anyone mind if I made another copy or draft of the source code for the RfCF page and corrected all the grammatical errors? I was thinking about doing it in a Word document.
 
Can somebody remind me what we currently need to do here please?

@Antvasima Well first, I'd like to propose a bit of a cleanup of the RfCF page before we add anything else. Was thinking of copying the entire source code for it and correcting all the grammatical errors and saving up some space for it, but I have already made several corrections to the grammar and spelling on the page. Also, there was a broken link in the Weather Feats section, so I fixed it.

Okay. Thank you for helping out.

@Jasonsith

Didn't you plan to improve on the structure of the page in question?
 
Yes but this requires some quality time from me or (even better) feedback from you all.


Like, how should even common feats be categorised? I have made a small recategorisation at my own blog (with "older" feats)

Would like to hear your feedback.

Well, according to different types of feats I suppose, such as breaking common objects, explosions, and the like, but more complex instructions are probably needed.

What do the rest of you think?

Also, can you link to your blog again please?
 
Looking at this calc, I've been into thought about this for a while now. Can this be used a reference as to growing and shrinking planets such as earth simultaneously? (I mean the calced bottom section obviously.)
 
Buttersamuri is notably unreliable, if I remember correctly.
 
AFAIK "growing" and shrinking planets involve not just movement of mass but also density of it. Please refer to the formula of gravitational binding energy for what is actually happening.

Treatment can be very different on different forms of growing and shrinking.

And if mass creation or reduction involved that would be one more figure to find out and be added to the final yield.

Total yield would be

Kinetic of movement of mass involved
Plus
Difference in GBE of planet before and after size change
Plus
(If any) Energy involved in mass reduction or creation




I mean, no pointing fingers at a certain someone. Just let the calc workers reevaluate on each calc.

And assume every calculation yield unevaluated until being properly accepted or rejected.
 
Do we have a calculation for crushing billiard balls? I recall seeing one but I cannot find it.
 
Can we add surface wiping feats to the common feats reference page?

I am thinking:

Why is the blast radius of 2*PI()*6375000m/2 being used.

Like, the rationale should be better explained. Why not just the Earth radius? Why not just the Earth diameter? Why not the GBE of the Earth?

Can you even imagine how a fireball such radius could actually achieve surface wiping? Can anyone even imagine how such is achieved?

And therein lies the problem. 6375000 m is the radius (The distance you'd get if you dug halfway through the Earth), that's not what we want to use here nor is it what's being used there. We want the Earth's circumference of 40075 km (The distance you achieve when you travel in a straight line around the Earth.

Think of it like this, imagine the Earth's surface being spread out like the Flat Earth stuff and being 40000 km in diameter. The Explosion covering the entire thing would thus have a radius of 20000 km. Same thing here, except the world is round.

Like this maybe, except a beam or energy ball creates an explosion on contact?
Great.

Make sure a simplified explanation of the rationale of using such blast radius is drafted and added to the calculation.

I appreciate your help. Thanks.

But it's already there, it notes down Earth's circumference and the explosive radius being half that and whatnot. Ugarik also noted down in the comments that this is how Therefir did the calc when the other guy thought radius of Earth was being used, when in fact it was the circumference.

Much obliged.

I mean, something like: (okay I am drafting this by myself)

The circumference of the Earth is chosen for the blast diameter as this is the minimal length depicted to have the blast to cover the whole planet surface in one go.
