Let's say that, before Vader strikes him down, Obi-Wan tries his best to tell Vader a lie in order to mess with him. What's the biggest (or funniest) one he could have gotten away with? Would Vader have even believed anything?

What if Obi-Wan said "Padme is alive" before getting hit? Or just shouted "FORCE-TELEPORT!" and pretended to not die? Was there anything he could have said to help Luke and the Rebellion out?

We all know the trope.
"A vampire cannot enter your home unless invited in," usually by the owner or someone with some kinda authority therein.
However, they usually just leave it at that, and never (as far as I know) have a vampire set fire to the home or take a bulldozer to it to "destroy the home" or kill the occupant.

Say a human and vampire wanted to run an experiment. "how much of a home must remain standing for the invitation-ward to remain in effect?"

If a hole was blown in the wall, is the threshold where the wall was still valid?
If a human tossed some bricks out the window in a line, making a line from the door, around his mailbox, and back to the door, is this new loop part of the home?

If they start knocking walls down, at any point does the threshold stop existing?

Can a person essentially just make an "anti-seabear circle", but for vampires?

If one were to extract all their acidic blood and the meat inside their exoskeletons, what would be the best way to cook it?

Considering they are lanky and lack any visible fat deposits, I’d say something like stewing or roasting would tenderize the tough muscle fibers

Or would neutralizing their acidic blood with a strong base to make a sauce to brush on the meat work better for moisture?

With the Massasi Temple being a Sith/Dark side temple and its history with Exar Kun, were the Rebels at least knowledgeable or aware of of its side effect on their Persia

He didn’t have all of them purely in the soil when this happened. He had already collected some and put them away for eating and resowed the rest. So why couldn’t he use his poop from between when he made the original soil and to now when he needs it, and sow the potatoes he grew but were in a separate place to the plants?

A wormhole opens between the 40k galaxy and the star wars galaxy. Guilliman sends explorer fleets into the other side of the wormhole and soon finds a galactic civilization inferior to the imperium of man in many aspects but impressive in others. How would Guilliman proceed?

Scenario 1: He comes into contact with the galactic republic during the prequel era

Scenario 2: He comes into contact with the Galactic empire

I havent read Neuromancer in years But I just reread Johnny Mnemonic and it got me thinking about this. Johnny tells us he had to not only turn the shotgun shells himself on a lathe, but he even he had to build the press for packing them with powder. Multiple characters remark on the "crudeness" of Johnny's shotgun, and it is actually the only firearm in the whole story (which we know takes place in the same world because Molly Millions is a character in both and she even mentions Johnny in Neuromancer) The Loteks have no guns, Ralfis bodyguard has no guns, Yakuza assassin has no guns.

I seem to remember in the first chapter of Neuromancer that Case tries to rent a gun but is told they are all out and is given the cobra instead. I always assumed that the seller had just rented out his last gun of many before Case showed up but now I'm realizing Gibson might be trying to impress upon us the scarcity of traditional firearms for whatever reason in the future. Do we ever even see a normal gun in the whole book?

I remember that late in the novel Molly does get a gun but it is a scifi flechette pistol with, like, shellfish neurotoxin darts and other special future ammo, so not really applicable.

Are gunpowder weapons gone from the future when everything else in that future is such a lawless free for all?

I’ve tried to look on the Marvel wiki, but it seems to just be very confusing with it having a number of different definitions.

The Contemplator can expand his conscious field to almost infinite parameters and probe the phenomena of reality and whatever he wishes to know. Captain Mar-Vell’s allows him to know exactly what he needs to know at any given moment, such as an opponents weakness. I’ve also seen it being labelled as enlightenment to the truth of the cosmos on Hank McCoy’s wiki page. But other sources have said it’s knowledge per se so I’m very confused.

Would someone be able to explain it, and what it can do with examples? Because I get that it allows its users to sense things across the Universe, but to what extent? Can you never be surprised again if you have Cosmic Awareness, is it like precognition? If I have it do I need to manually look around the Universe, or do I just know that there’s an angry Skrull on Throneworld plotting to harm me. Do you just know where everyone is automatically, become the ultimate tracker? Is Spider-Man’s Spidey Sense like Cosmic Awareness?

The Big Lebowski takes place in Los Angeles in the August of 1990. What were Jeff Lebowski and Walter Sobchak doing during the Rodney King riots two years after the end of the movie?

After Peggy's backup parachute didn't deploy, would it have been possible for the other skydiver to maneuver towards and grab onto her before deploying his own parachute?

I mean, I think it would psychologically fuck anyone up, knowing your world just disappeared and just... having to go about your day-to-day pretending nothing ever happened.

He seemed pretty cracked at the end of his "Ben" era.

Back in Hercules Vol 3 from 2005, Hercules filmed a reality show where he had to complete a modern version of the twelve labours. Even Captain America was watching the show. It made me think about who the most famous and popular heroes are, there's obviously Captain America, and the Fantastic Four has a great PR team.

I know that Wonder Man is an actor, but he calls himself a struggling actor, so I take it that he hasn't had much luck. That's surprising considering he's an ex-avenger. Wasp is also a fashion designer, but I am not sure of how successful she is.

So if I understand correctly, the shields in Dune can be penetrated by objects moving slowly. Because of this, close combat became more popular.

But if I have to trade blows with an enemy I'd prefer to pilot a Gundam rather than wield a dagger. Technology doesn't seems like an issue because they build space ships and all.

I use Arch btw, but I'll try OpenBSD or Mac if it will save humanity.

If that doesn't stop Judgement day, then maybe at least I can watch Microsoft Skynet crash because of an unexpected update.

The other day, I was rereading the X-Men comics around the time when the school went public, and one of the angry crowd members accused them of flying in illegal immigrant mutants. It got me thinking, do the X-Men sort out visas afterwards or are they actually just flying in tons of illegal immigrants on their X-Wing?

[Terminator] : Questions about the T-950 Infiltrator Terminator and previous Infiltrator Terminator Models

QUESTION 1: Would a T-950 carry over a lot of the same features, components, abilities and skills as these previous Infiltrator Models?

T-799: The T-799 considers its target's emotions, devising better strategies to neutralize them. It can maintain a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) indefinitely, and its living tissue resists radiation, healing itself by consuming proteins.

T-800: The 800 Series Terminator has a Neural Net Processor, a "learning computer," housed in the endoskull and shielded by inertial shock dampers. The T-800 has detailed human anatomical and psychological files, with a jack in the back of its head for receiving instructions and persona templates. It’s faster than the T-600, reaching speeds up to 22 mph. The T-800 can replicate human speech by recording and synthesizing voices, and its auditory sensors can filter specific sounds. Its optical sensors detect a wide range of frequencies, including infrared, with advanced vision features like motion tracking, facial recognition, and zoom. The T-800 is programmed in COBOL and 6502 assembly and has backup systems to maintain function if damaged.

T-808: The T-808’s CPU integrates mimetic human software.

T-850: An advanced T-800 model, the T-850 understands human emotions and socio-ecological interactions, making it a superior Infiltrator. It has files on 1,000+ emotional elements, zoological data, animal sound replication, and popular music knowledge. In combat, it uses action network circuits, akin to electronic adrenaline, to enhance its performance. It also predicts and out-thinks enemies using continuous data analysis and sensor arrays for 3D environmental modeling.

T-888: The T-888 runs at high speeds, can reattach its head via wireless control, and features an endoskeleton with sensors and independent power. It also possesses detailed knowledge of human behavior and psychology, improving its interpersonal skills. Slimmer chips in later models ignite upon oxygen exposure, preventing reprogramming.

T-900: The T-900 can check vital signs by touch, assessing stress levels and medical conditions.

QUESTION 2: Could a T-950 regenerate/heal/regrow it's skin back?

Superman and Louis lane are the power couple when it comes to superheroes dating normal civilians, but what about villains? Which villain in a comic book universe is most likely to date a civilian, with no ties to the criminal underworld? What would that person think of their significant other’s activities?

Just have been going through the comics and was wondering why shazam was siding with superman. Solomon is considered to have been the wisest man to exist on Earth besides Jesus of course. But would Shazam not know that Superman's path was wrong and side with Batman. I know he does in the video game so why hadn't he in the comics. I'm only on the gods war right now so maybe he does soon by why not sooner

We see this throughout the Kingdom Hearts games where someone finally crosses the line of allowing hatred and malice to fully consume them, effectively killing the person as their heart is ripped out of their bodies and transforms into a Heartless.

Clayton was crossing that line in the first game, as did Jafar (who used his third wish to save his own ass), as did Mother Gothel and Hans in the third game.

What other characters would possibly be transformed into a Heartless due to how evil and malicious they were.

I know the story and how it ends, but i just find it unlikely humans would win.

All the terminator movies they are pick up with the war already in full swing. what happened after the nukes fall?

How did the resistance become the resistance ?

It just seems like after the nukes dropped I find it hard to believe that the resistance has the ability to beat the machines.

I would think after the nukes have fallen there are so many things to deal with. Hardly any food. If the blast don't kill you the fallout will. No meds. No nothing.

Am I the odd one out thinking humans wouldn't win?
