The Factory Floor

@James I opened a couple of doors to leave, but they were all closets containing Cthulhu, so I stopped trying. You have a strange house.

Congrats @JDługosz!

It's been a while and I still can't get used to @Green being blue. @Green is supposed to be red! :-)

As of 51 minutes ago, @CortAmmon is Worldbuilding's first 50k user.

@sphennings You see, you're missing something here: @James, Steward of WB, Crusher of Dreams, Lord of The Factory Floor, First of his name is, well, @James, Steward of WB, Crusher of Dreams, Lord of The Factory Floor and First of his name and has powers that even us stewards-in-training can only dream of

PSA: Don't abuse flags. You'll make a whole lot of people very unhappy, and you'll get yourself removed from chat.

@FutureHistorian There are 2 types of people: those who can extrapolate from insufficient data....

@FutureHistorian No. You throw around so many ideas that they quickly get filtered out as noise.

@NexTerren "How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?" "One. We are efficient and don't have humour."

You still alive @Green? Are you using the last of your flickering cell phone power to talk to us while you slowly freeze to death next to a fire made from all your furniture?

@NexTerren Stop scaring off the fresh meat, Nex.

@TheMattbat999 Don't worry, it rarely comes up, and the sacrifices are generally very easy

@Green Yeah see the diamond would still conduct the heat into the legos and the'y still melt. @NexTerren is right the only reasonable answer is a lego made of solid diamond.

thankfully never been in a Russian jail either. You can count the number of foreign jails I"ve been in on no fingers.

I guess you could throw in foot peddles... that might make it interesting

@WorldbuildingMeta "And of all the places I've visited, or participated in, this stack has been probably the most inhospitable and unaccountable online environment I've seen so far." This is one of the friendliest SE sites I use... O.o

@HDE226868 If it was a spherical spoon in a frictionless vacuum, maybe?

@redfrogcrab Um, I'm not sure I can make the decision for you. It would depend on what feel you want for the story.

@Ash Humans are weird. <--- It explains a lot.

@FoxElemental I think I've invented a new term. "Liquid Science." For when sci-fi manages to break every single law in physics.

@Gryphon Depends, are you a pizza?

Latest blog post: Your Time is Come from a new contributor. (Feed didn't post it here.)

The election has begun! Voting will last until July 17th. Please take all election-related discussion go the 2018 Worldbuilding Moderator Election chat room. Best of luck!

@James One time a friends kid was running through a crowded area with a lot of potentially breakable things. As she went past I told her to stop running in an off hand way. She looks back at me, sticks out her tongue, and slammed into the wall at speed, then fell on her butt. It still warms my heart.

I just made it official too, I was hoping for signs of improvement, instead all we see is the good ones going.

plus "look, officer, that man was shot. All I have is this smoking knife"

If you're not on a FBI watch list then you aren't world building right

STUPID FOREIGN ROGUE PLANETS. WE MUST MAKE THE SOLAR SYSTEM GREAT AGAIN!

Going boom is similar to breathing fire. We can work with this.

We are some diabolical people here. It makes me so happy!

I'm stepping out now. Try to keep things civil everyone, ok? There are a lot of strong feelings around the current US election, but let's remember (a) the primary purpose of the room and (b) that SE is worldwide.

Granted, it can go too far. I shouldn't be putting more effort into your story than you are, but that's a different matter.

If I'm on and someone pops in and is not demanding, asks nicely, and is grateful, I'd brainstorm ideas. Done it lots of times in the past.

So since it always be strictly worse than doing nothing. It's not interesting in any practical sense. Hence rules abuse and artistic expression being the only areas where things of this nature work.

Go forth and youtube the podcast has been posted: youtube.com/channel/UCar5xDnyEGKpjpFKxRRoKzw?view_as=public

I think it's commonly referred to as black humor. One of the chief exports of soviet countries. They were too poor to export anything else.

I'm going to start reading every question on this site as if were a bunch of cosmic deities asking for how-to help with creation.

Just wanted to share my attempt to render Slartibotfast in digital knitted headwear. :-)

@AndyD273 It amuses me that the most fascist group in America has named themselves Anti-Fascist.

No, plot should always be first, then internal consistency, then characters, and then other stuff like science.

Go watch episode 3 of the WB podcast, The Factory Floor

yes, waiting takes time

@HDE226868 You're welcome. My daughter woke me up at 4:30 this morning, so you got that post while she sat on the floor in the basement and made monster noises.
