Q: Did Logan intentionally pay off Yukio's prophecy?

KutuluMikeIn The Wolverine, Yukio is a mutant that has the power to see how people she touches are going to die. At one point in the movie, she tells Logan that she saw his death: I saw you die, holding your own heart in your hand. In that movie, this scene leads into one where Logan but while he...

Q: How could Bumblebee have worked with Hot Rod?

CreationEdgeIn The Last Knight, it's revealed that Bumblebee fought alongside Hot Rod (or a Hot Rod looking fella) in an earlier World War (as in Earth). Have any interviews, promotional materials, or other works hinted at how this was possible, when we saw Bumblebee arrive on Earth in the first Transforme...

@Babelfish That's a hell of a connection! I don't care if they intended it from the beginning or not, I'm impressed.

Q: Anthology that retold well known stories from other viewpoints or with twisted endings

mergedlokiI have been trying to find this book for years. I bought it when I was 16/17 (2001 or so) so I assume it was published in the 90's or early 00's. The book had a purple cover. It was an anthology that retold well known stories from other viewpoints or with twisted endings. The only 2 story plots...

Q: Business man made leader

DijkgraafI remember reading a short story in where the political system they used is that they would select a successful business man, liquidate all of his assets (it becomes state money) and at the end of their term they would be given back assets in proportion to how well they did during their term. I ...

Q: Why didn't Jon Snow recognize Summer?

ashveliI was watching Games Of Thrones complete seasons again, when I was watching the episode where Bran & team are at "The Gift" in a watch tower, there was a fight going on between Jon & Wildlings as Jon betrayed the Wildlings. In this particular fight, Jon & Ygritte were fighting against 19 Wildlings

okkk....
yesterday, by Derpy
@Voronwë Also a form of punishment. Every time the ones forget the daily floof, I will replace it with a daily bug.
 
9:44 AM
@Derpy Good one :)
 
10:10 AM
@Voronwë too many edits...
Like way too many. Please don't clutter the front page
 
@Derpy floofy bug
 
@Edlothiad don't tell me there's a rule for that....
 
@Voronwë 3 edited questions on front page at a time.
 
@Bellerophon Gotcha, I'll try to remember next time
 
@Voronwë There's an informal rule to have ~5 edits at a time. It's not a strict rule, but it's considered destructive to the front page to clutter it with edits (that said, you're nowhere near the worst offender yet).

@Gallifreyan Well something new I've learnt today
@Gallifreyan Er any chance you could tell me who this amazing person is?

A: My edits bump the question, can this be avoided?

KevinNo, edits intentionally always bump the question; it's part of the peer-review process that keeps the network well-groomed. As a matter of fact, there have been a number of pushes to get moderators that ability, and even they have been declined. It's fine to bump questions with properly substan...

@Voronwë No one in particular, but some user had been carried away while editing, taking almost the whole front page.
We also had a Big Edit Event, where we purposefully destroyed the front page to fix Tolkien tags, Marvel/DC tags, Star Trek tags, dead HTTP images, etc. That was a fine day for my Copy Editor badge.

Q: Was Obi-Wan alone in sensing a disturbance in the Force?

The Dark LordDuring the opening dialogue in The Phantom Menace we learn that Obi-Wan is feeling a general disturbance in the Force - although what this relates to he can't quite put his finger on. OBI-WAN: I have a bad feeling about this. QUI-GONN: I don't sense anything. OBI-WAN: It's not about the m...

 
on other stacks like rpg.se and gamedev.se we've steadily moved away from rules like that, since we found that regular users just moved to the newest questions view at little cost to new questions getting answers
 
@Gallifreyan Was that the day you all added the Tolkien's Legendarium tag?
 
gamedev.se has been editing away a meta-tag with hundreds of entries recently, and happily just turned over the front page on a daily basis through doing so
 
10:25 AM
@Voronwë Yep.
 
@doppelgreener that's exactly what I do, couldn't be bothered to view the main page.
@Gallifreyan Nice! It was a smart addition. Who thought of it?

A: Tolkien tags - the way forward

RikerKeep middle-earth for questions about the geographical area, tolkien for the author himself, and a new tolkien-legendarium for his works as a whole. Also, possibly a new arda tag. This would mean all questions tagged middle-earth or simarillion would also get the tolkien-legendarium tag. How w...

@Riker ^
 
@Gallifreyan nice :)
 
10:50 AM
@Voronwë The informal rule of thumb is that at most 5 of the top 15 posts on the front page should have been last edited by the same user.
@doppelgreener One user did over 2000 edits in about a day during that event.

wow O_O
that's some impressive editing
good use of the event :)

Q: Did Yoda (and other Jedi) had any lethal force abilities?

As we all know, Palpatine hit Yoda's hand with lightsaber which caused the Jedi Master to lose his lightsaber. We also know what happened later. My question however is, would Yoda still have a chance t...

Q: X-Men animated series

Louis TI would like to watch the X-Men animated series, from the beginning to end, to get to know it better. I mean, there are several series out there, but I don't know which one starts it all, to begin with. It would be great if someone could help me with a list in order to start with. Thanks

Q: searching for a fantasy dragon book

Book NerdSo in grade 4 my teacher read us a book that I ended up really liking but years later I can't remember the name of it what so ever and it has been literally bugging me for years and I've even tried to research it and have come up with nothing. But I do remember a few details of the book: **Ther...

Q: 2 towns seperated by wall: humans 1 side, monsters other

JheurfI'm not sure if this is a book or comic book, but it's about a human city, separated by a massive wall from a "monster" city (giant beasts, liches, goblins, witches, etc) It's futuristic and fantasy at the same time, I think it's another planet Once a year, 5-6 teens are sent as ambassadors/emi...

Q: TV show that starts with debris encompassing Earth

Q: Why did the crew of the Nostromo destroy the ship?

PointlessSpikeIn Alien, the crew, finding themselves unable to kill the titular character, set the Nostromo to self-destruct and attempt to escape in the shuttle. But why destroy it? It actually cost extra effort to destroy the ship. If they just left, the Alien couldn't get at them, and they wouldn't have de...

 
@Babelfish I can't remember, did they plan to do that before or after the android turned on them?
if it was after, I'd understand blowing up the ship so the company couldn't get the alien, and learned a lesson about killing its employees.

So
some years ago I was chucking out a lot of my dad's old junk. Came upon an old alarm clock I liked the look of so I kept it.
Let's say I have some suspicion that it may have a certain glow in the dark element and I liked the design
Stuck it on a shelf and kinda forgot about it
This morning I was watching a YouTube video and it showed the end of Back to the Future where Marty is waiting to drive at 88 mph. The alarm clock Doc set up rings and I paused the video
I have the alarm clock from the Delorian
