GreeningGalaxy

I resize myself back into my normal teen size and tell the children all about Nuclear Salt Water Rocket propulsion, which causes them to run in terror back to their mommies and cry about the scary story the creepy gray lady in the black dress told them. The juice is absorbed by the ground and causes the grass to become even more lush, and that which touches me becomes intergalactic ice-dust in the GreeningUniverse. My juice-fertilized hill.

Have a skeevy website's largely accurate diagram of the most ridiculous propulsion system I've ever heard of. (Yes, even more ridiculous than Project Orion)

Cool! What are those wire loops on the back of the ship? Some kind of engine? So today I made this cool hypersonic Valkyrie-inspired plane with B9, SP+, Procedural Wings, and FAR. After a few hilarious aerodynamic failures shortly after takeoff, I managed to get it up to a nice speed at a somewhat high altitude. It has some RasterPropMonitor cameras on the bottom too for recon missions. Nice views of the ocean below... The one on the far right is actually located on the underside of the plane at an angle of about 45 degrees below forward, but it still shows the horizon because I'm at such a high angle of attack at this altitude. The aft camera, in the small window to the left of the other two, is at a similar angle relative to the aircraft but shows only sea. Unfortunately, all three cameras exploded due to Deadly Reentry's aerodynamic heating as my speed climbed. Wish there was some kind of shielded sensor window I could put them in to prevent that from happening. I then decided to fire off the BD Armory Hellfire missiles attached to the plane's underside (because why not). They made nice little fire arrows at first, but the fifth one I launched collided with something on the way out and blew up the plane. A constructive test flight, I suppose!

Underwear with considerably more delta-V, life support equipment, heat/radiation shielding, and dubiously-plausible FTL drives than standard underwear. 10/10 would wear to Jool.

I drop the coefficient of the strong nuclear force within the sign and its post until they violently disintegrate into hydrogen gas and neutron radiation, which I trap and direct up and away from the hill. The hill remains grassy and natural, despite the fact that a humanoid universe just altered a small part of a bigger, amorphous universe on top of it. My grassy, natural hill.

I don't have any data plan, so I'm stuck with hopping wifi networks when I want to use the cloud. Which is not any fun at all. I too am a big proponent of local storage, and hope enough people stay that way that 'cloud-only' devices like chromebooks don't proliferate too much. Why pay for someone to keep your stuff safe (assuming you have more than a few gigabytes and can't just get by with free space) when you can keep it locked up on your home computer that's only online when you need it to be?

I have an old iPod Touch (4th generation) which, objectively speaking, is probably the crappiest computer I've ever owned. It surpasses every other device I have, even my 12-year-old Dell laptop running Debian 6, in terms of how capable (or incapable) it is vs. what it can be reasonably expected to do. Its home button only responds every third or fourth time you press it (which is not actually a button hardware issue, I've discovered, it's just the software being really bad at reading button events), its CPU and RAM aren't adequate to run the majority of apps without crashing frequently, and it lasts less than half an hour on a battery charge (for active use; when on standby mode and not connected to wifi, it can last almost three hours) despite the fact that it's only about three years old. The screen is also way too tiny for me to type effectively on, and is easy to smear but very hard to clean effect8ve. I realize that Apple's tech has improved significantly lately (and is probably better if you shell out the whole $800 for the best stuff instead of buying a $300 knockoff), but that experience was enough to turn me away from wanting anything else they've sold since. I now have an LG Nexus 5, which replaced a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I had to return because of a defective charging port. The Nexus has so far given me a little trouble here and there (no expandable memory, rather ornery MTP performance when trying to move pictures to my laptop, and the occasional corporate BS pulled by Google) but it's given me no trouble compared to the problems I had with Apple and is very good hardware for its $350 price tag. I'm not going to say that everything Apple makes is crap or that everything that runs Android is the best technology ever to befall the Earth, but my own experience has made me wary of Apple's fully-closed business model.

break the 10 char rule

My friends doing nothing but play with each other on their nifty little devices and completely ignore me

1/10 Seen the sig, don't remember seeing your name.

They fail to locate me, because I am noncorporeal at this time. I pervade the thoughts of the next poster, inducing them to try to construct a small pyramid in their backyard.

0.79/1 Humorous enough, but seems to imply that you're prone to starting arguments with TheCanadianVendingMachine. Also probably makes GregroxMun get irritated to a greater or lesser degree, which is not wholly a bad thing because that kind of thing just motivates him to come out with more hilarities for the HypeTrain (see "quadruple track drifting").

4030: Caroline Kerman discovers that ground up mun rocks are not pure poison, but actually a mixture of several different substances of various disagreeability with the kerbal body. She notes that while Cave Kerman's illness is somewhat consistent with poisoning from the highly-reactive elemental iron nanoparticles found in munar regolith, he lacks any signs of the silicosis expected from his alleged dust inhalation. When Caroline analyzes a blood sample taken from Cave's arm as he slept one evening, she discovers that not only is the blood lacking in any munar compounds, but it also contains dangerously high levels of mercury. When Cave Kerman awakes and finds Caroline's results, he enters a rage state, pursues Caroline through the facility, and explains (in proper villain style) that his mercury poisoning was borne of his own error during an ill-conceived attempt to assassinate the most influential members of the Kerbal Space Agency with mercury-injected shower curtain linings. Cave succumbs to the toxin before he can drop Caroline into the acidic lake in the bottom of the Karbonite mine, but manages to trap her at the beginning of one of the testing tracks. The video records don't show her coming out alive at the other end, but her body is never found. I have to do an analysis paper of Portal 2 for one of my classes. I can hardly wait!

Before the Novikov self-consistency principle notices what I'm doing and shuts me down, I displace one of the hillverse's hills onto the surface of a barren planet somewhere in the GreeningUniverse. The hillverse hill immediately starts undergoing binary fission, replicating itself and covering the formerly-flat surface of the planet in hills in a matter of hours. In thaumatic backlash for my clear violation of physics/logic, the planet's tenuous atmosphere turns to elemental mercury and settles around the bases of the hills. My Land of Hills and Quicksilver.

??? My external reflectivity prevents any lasers from entering my universe-body, and altering the size of things around me is no concern to my scalar field manipulation powers. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "expand via death lasers" either- explode into expanding debris clouds? Those also pose no difficulties when you can vary the gravitational constant/speed of light/fundamental charge constant/strong and weak nuclear force constants at any given zone in space. But sure, you can have a cloud of hot debris. Your cloud of hot debris. I shall be over there, mixing up a batch of metallic hydrogen. My metallic hydrogen, of course.

Yeah, heh. I saw the thread title and was like "...do people not realize that it's one of the easiest things to photograph in the solar system?"

Yeah, except I always gathered that the life wasn't so much started by the monolith so much as it always existed there in some capacity. When Jupiter was ignited, it was going to proliferate, and didn't need dirty humans to come muck it up with all their terrestrial bacteria and ideas of conquest. See also earlier in the same book when the Chinese ship landed there to refuel and got eaten by a light-loving monster from under the ice.

Based on this image (notably the fluidity of the mud) I'm more or less sure this is just a guy being funny by jumping into a mud pit, then crouching down after he hits the bottom so it looks like he's sinking. Edit: More actual footage of sun!

Thread summary: "Look! A paradox! It's logically a paradox." "Actually, it's not a paradox because it's not even contradictory" "Love this paradox!" "Oh my god if you think about it too hard you'll END THE UNIVERSE xD XD" "..but it's not a paradox-" "LOVE THIS PARADOX!!"

Granted. You are now a slave inside of the magical fairy realm, and they make you clean all their toilets and take out the compost and wash all their dishes and generally not do anything exciting or fun. I wish all the change on my desk was worth a million dollars.

My quantum signature and 4-by-1 dimensional nature prevents me from accessing the hillverse. My normal hill in the normal universe, your hillverse.

The user above me must be kept away from Europa at all costs. Hopefully we have a monolith to do it for us. The user below me like cheese and crackers.

My vacuum was already at its lowest, most stable energy state, so a vacuum metastability event could not possibly have an effect on me. In fact, I had been isolating my scalar fields from my surroundings to prevent such a fate from befalling the rest of the universe, but you, in your foolishness, stopped me from doing that. As the wave of vacuum collapse spreads outwards from my universe-body at the speed of light, all matter and energy in the normal universe and in the megatigeVerse succumbs to particle decay. Both universes lose stability and collapse out of existence as a result. I am left alone once again. Way to go, megatigerVerse! King of the Hill Vacuum Metastability Event Tally: ||| I spot another universe of stable vacuum energy far off in the meaningless distance. In a time interval that doesn't make any kind of logical sense, I arrive at said universe, locate a planet with a hill, and plant my flag on top of the hill. Let's see how long the Apocalypse takes to strike this time! My hill.

Then, per the usual progression of that kind of plotline, you would incur the wrath of the US military, which would try to shoot you and take the kerbs back. Of course, you would probably also gain mega-OP powers that would let you fight off the army buffoons, and the kerbals would build hilarious contraptions to attack the military / escape Earth and return to the Kerbol system on their KSPI starship. What if I wore lipstick today?

There was an engine in an earlier preview that I thought bore a very strong resemblance to a grayscale LV-909 (which is fine, since the 909 has a pretty generic look anyway). Nothing in that picture looks familiar, with the possible exception of the air intakes on top looking a bit like re-skinned B9 Variable Geometry Intakes. Seriously, though, none of that is a bad thing. This game looks really cool! I can't wait until it's out.
