Just a quick question,How can i see my removed questions and answers?
I have some deleted posts and i would like to read them again.
Also,thanks for saving me from downvotes...I bet I would have lost 200 EXP in 24 hours...Thats scary.
What could trigger an Inverse Chronological Order experience?
In the movie "Memento", we as the viewer see the movie from what's called Inverse Chronological Order experience, where we see the ending first, and then the subsequent events leading up to the "beginning" of the story (which is not a...
How many dead bodies are required to stain a river red?
Historical accounts of battles sometimes talk of rivers running red with the blood of fallen combatants.
Many Lancastrians were killed while fleeing; some trampled each other and others drowned in the rivers, which are said to have made...
In this case it was a discussion. Like with the recent 1-rep-on-meta it might just be that it got lost because there was never a feature-request. But there was also not a whole lot of discussion happening there. It's unclear whether switching the privileges is the way to go or to create a new kind of privilege. I suspect the latter will be too much and the former is another, bigger, change in the privilege structure on WorldBuilding.
Sadly there is no bounty option on meta so I can't just put a bounty on it to "Draw attention" and ask for more opinions.
I was lounging about in my throne room when a man came to speak to me. He had one leg cut off (recently, too) and claimed he was an alchemist. He says that he wants to get revenge on the king of the neighboring kingdom, who cut off his leg with a spoon. I do not like this man so I happily agreed ...
Recently, my neighboor upset me. As I discover that he plan to somehow improve trebuchet to throw nasty things across the river, I tell him that my pig mounted cavalry will attack him.
I need to confess you something...
I don't have any pig mounted cavalry
Is it possible to have a pig mounted ...

Did I use the sandbox right this time, @Hosch250? ;)
Yesterday, there was a question of rather gruesome content. OP asked on how to make female-on-male rape a torture practice. No surprise this question got disliked a lot simply for its content - not most peoples favorite topic.
While I did read some of the comments and people discussing their dis...
Does anyone think this is story-based? It's asking about the actions of an entity in a world, rather than an aspect of a world, but it's a government, not an individual. I'm not sure.
@Gryphon I am not sure about the question. It reads like an idea poll for story seeds. Potential government actions are not really a problem, similar to how you can ask for Average Joe Capabilities instead of My Original Character Actions. I also don't really see what problem the OP is trying to solve.
Isn't this just asking for "Bribe them", "Assassinate them", "Make the beaurocratic processes too slow for them too realize", "Message transmission is too slow", "Racism, so they don't really care about the people that died", ...
@Hosch250 It's not about talking about "torture". It's about playing down the topic of real torture and presenting it in a way that is just... Let's just say I agree with the comment that I am lacking the right nice words to really express how I feel about this specific question...
Also, that user has a loooong history of such questions and acting in bad faith on the site, which likely makes me a bit biased when reading something like that...
(Forgive the editing in advance; I’ll clean this up when I get off mobile)
How strong does a magnetic field around a planet need to be to be habitable?
To my understanding, part of the reason life is able to exist on Earth besides its ozone layer is due to its magnetic field which protects the ...
@Secespitus thanks for updating the comment script. I hadn't thought about the rep barrier lowering, and would be embarrassed if I chased new users away from the Sandbox/Meta just because of saying they didn't have the rep
@dot_Sp0T No, the "Make rape more brutal" question yesterday crossed a line and was deleted because of the attitude the OP has displayed about this topic, like every time before.
@Secespitus at least this one is between "can i ride war-pigs" and "my pigeons turned into spoon", so there is little to no chance that the dude really want to know how to cut a limb with a spoon
i don't know the op neither the content of the question, but i can understand that some questions can't be asked
"how to make a bomb with kitchen and household product" may be on topic in chemistry.SE per se, as it ask for a specific chemical reaction with some products, but i could understand if someone delete it
Although at one hand I have grown up in environment advocating freedom of information like the other two answers do, I do believe their arguments are intrinsically flawed, because they do not account for the responsibility one holds when being trusted with information.
Unlike in the past knowled...
Recently, I've seen a trend of $\mathcal{\color{red}{SCARY}}$ questions back on chem. They're mainly about this:
Get the picture? No? OK, I'll be more straight-forward 1:
How to dissolve fifteen elves and seventeen trolls ASAP?
How much does it take to dissolve an angry bird with hydroc...
it smells putrid, if you heat it up, it explodes, if you shake it a little, it explodes, if a feather lands on the table, it explodes, if it is exposed to light, it explodes
Also, if there's anything organic in it, it explodes
In 1813, an NCl3 explosion blinded Sir Humphry Davy temporarily, inducing him to hire Michael Faraday as a co-worker. They were both injured in another NCl3 explosion shortly thereafter.
These were the two best chemists in the world at the time
for the record, I have never made explosives and never intend to do so
If anyone's wondering why we had a long discussion about explosives in chat, don't ask
@JavaScriptCoder Correlated point, it's not illegal to own books on explosive or even to own the ingredients to make explosives....it's is illegal to combine those ingredients into explosives.
@Green And it's also illegal to take those explosives and pack them into the neighbors dog house because the creature barked non-stop from midnight till 6am the night before an important presentation. Definitely don't do that one.
@Secespitus Only the dog barking all night because the neighbor passed out drunk after letting it out part. See my disclaimer above.
Apparently a lot of people have actually been arrested for making "bombs" out of aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner... So yeah, it's a good idea to really think things through, even if they seem innocent.
How to make the 'Master Swordsman' fantasy realistic?
The idea of a truly masterful swordsman capable of taking on dozens of average swordsmen by himself (sometimes even above average!) is a pretty common depiction in fantasy media.
A recent example I can think of is Barristan Selmy from A Son...
@AndyD273 There are any number of ways to launch attacks on cities, airports. The secure perimeter can only be so big. You can't catch everything. Hence the term "security theater" applied to TSA airport checkpoints.
@Green hear about the guy in Alaska that commited suicide by airliner? He worked on the ground crew, and decided to just take the plane he was servicing. Apparently flew some really impressive maneuvers before crashing into the ground.
@Gryphon Maybe. Apparently he was a big flight sim player. Maybe in whatever state of depression or mental illness he was in the idea of flying for real before dying was too big of a temptation.
"Have you flown before?" "I've spent a lot of hours in training sims. They are basically considered legal aircraft." "Well, ok, this is an emergency... What are you looking for?" "The place where I type in the code for god mode."
@AndyD273 If you pay a couple hundred bucks, you can get a USB key from Laminar Research that will let you turn X-Plane 11 into a fully functional, FAA certified flight sim.
Get the right controls and it's pretty dang close.
@Green It was only a couple days ago, but it's interesting that it hasn't been on the news all that much. Probably because it didn't have anything to do with politics and there was only one death.

For example, a street this wide to have enough blood run down the length shown in this photo? Assume that the blood isn't going down storm-drains for whatever reason and assume the stretch of road is 100 feet long. There need not be literal 'rivers' of blood, just enough that the entire street is...

@Secespitus that section has written down stuff and other things that aren't related to the topology. But I can't really remove it with the software I use and don't have anything to crop the img at hand
@dot_Sp0T When I click on the image and it opens up the image view in my browser window I am not able to discern what numbers are shown on the black-and-white scale in the lower left hand corner.
I am Kaine!! God king of the Wraith-men exiles. With my brother Carrion and his twelve sons and their hordes, we have laid waste to many realms. It is only when we went to war with holy city of Morguss we got to fight worthy prey. My black legions march on their Holy Citadel that resides inside a...
@James 1. They don't know that they'll die, 2. It's a trap! 3. They got scared 4. Maybe they fled so far away you won't catch them... Yeah, this is starting to look broad. Oh, the premise doesn't make much sense either to be honest :P
