The Real World Discussion Thread

"Wow this verse sucks ass lmao"
"Haha Tier -1"
"How about talking about grass, you decide to go out and touch it"

This thread is for talking about things that exist in the Real World such as guns, swords, improvised weapons, flying machines, things designed to explode, things that were not designed to explode but did anyway, things with bones, things without bones, things so small they're probably living in bones, things that look alive but don't count, and things that also look alive but also don't count.

Also, tardigrades a.k.a. the coolest things in existance.
Also, dinosaurs. Can't forget about those.

 

[CrackerVolley]

I guess I should get the ball rolling, huh.

Well, I've heard about scientists discovering that this certain type of protist (Halteria) is able to consume viruses if it lacked other food sources back in January. That's probably interesting enough to warrant a profile.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

What about dinosaurs a real world discussion thread wouldn’t be without dinosaurs.

 

[CrackerVolley]

Those fall within the "things with bones" category
Yeah, it couldn't hurt to add.

So only real world in the sense of animals and other things that have profiles

no real world in the sense of stuff in the real world like manga, video games, celebrities, and everything else that exists in the real world

 

[CrackerVolley]

Yep.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Yep.

Maybe we can talk about the discovery and history of those things though.

aka the news stories of the discovery of new dinosaurs or maybe the history of the weapons that have profiles on here

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

I just wonder if T-Rex is a bit overrated though, it’s actually not as strong as people think

 

[CrackerVolley]

I mean, it's a big bird-lizard that's almost as big as a school bus. It's certainly impressive, but it's not like larger firearms aren't going to completely mess it up.

I would like to hunt a T-Rex and put it on my trophy wall

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

@CrackerVolley your favorite dinosaur/animal?

 

[CrackerVolley]

I'm not one to say that there's an exact favorite. I like a lot of animal species. With that in mind, highland cattle are pretty amazing and deserve to be loved and cherished.

This thread seems underrated

 

[CrackerVolley]

Maybe if we post hot takes about medieval swords, people will get annoyed enough to join into the conversation.

You mean European long swords

 

[CrackerVolley]

Other swords too, even if they aren't necessarily medieval. "Pre-contemporary" is probably a better term.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Or maybe a flail or long bow or your typical European crossbow

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

When we talk about swords I feel like Chinese swords are underrated compared to other swords (though maybe a factor in this is the fact I brought this up because I’m Chinese)

Though it’s probably because Chinese call any sword a “Jian”

I love the jian... mostly because that one ALTA episode about Sokka learning swordfighting was gold.

Dao Swords are cool too.

Yeah dao is cool

same with the hook swords like the ones from kabal from MK

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

I like Abraham tank @CrackerVolley

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Favorite gun?

 

[CrackerVolley]

Snubnose revolvers are always cool.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Snubnose revolvers are always cool.

Revolvers are cool but I heard you have to be careful in how your holding them cause the gas and heat released from the chamber when you fire it can actually damage your finger if your not careful

something like that

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Bumping up because this thread is underrated

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

[ImmortalDread]

So

who is working in this verse?

 

[ShockingPsychic]

We're all working on this verse. Every hour of every day

 

[ImmortalDread]

Damn, are there any guidelines for the verse?

 

[ShockingPsychic]

The only one I know of is that you can't make human profiles

 

[ImmortalDread]

but I can create tanks profiles?

 

[CrackerVolley]

I would fail to see why not. There's already quite a few vehichle profiles anyway.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Would it work if I use WoT data and gallery?

 

[CrackerVolley]

Considering these are IRL tanks, it would probably be better to use other information sources, even with the WoT community's devotion to accuracy.

 

[Flashlight237]

Well, I went out of my way to calc Argentinosaurus' GPE because I felt 100-200 kJ was really underselling it.: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Flashlight237/Argentinosaurus'_Potential_Energy

4-5 Megajoules... Yeah.

 

[CrackerVolley]

I forgot I made this thead

 

[H3110l12345I20]

I forgot I made this thead

I'm thinking of moving any scaling discussion operations here too rather than my other discussion thread lol. And I'm in the IRL animals and composites sections of this verse.
