Q: looking for a tv episode where tiny men go around recreating the world in between seconds

user133011Looking for a TV episode where tiny men go around recreating the world in between seconds, behind the main characters backs/just out of sight. I think it was older. My memories say it was in Black and White. Similar concept to Twilight Zone's "Matter of Minutes," different execution.

Q: What is the Tales from the Dark Side episode where a teenager has a literal conniption over getting one dollar to eat at Dairy Queen?

GarrisonI'm not even sure if it's from Tales From the Dark Side, but I imagine it would be since it fits the style. In this episode, a middle class mother has a McGuffin that turns her figures of speech into literal occurrences. Near the end of the episode, she says, "Help! He's having a conniption over ...

Has anyone read Adrian Tchaikovsky's latest book "The Doors of Eden"? I'm halfway through but struggling. It feels like he's trying to emulate Blake Crouch.

Q: Looking for a webcomic where the basic premise is that the weather change is a huge threat

VienLaI'm looking for a webcomic I've read in the latter part of 00s/early 10s. I have found it by browsing through a huge database of webcomics by checking out tags that seemed appealing. At the time it looked professionally made at the time, similar in esthetics to the "Outsider" webcomic. I have a f...

Empire in Black and Gold? I got halfway through the first book and got bored.
 
@JohnRennie I lasted 5 pages

Children of Time is good in the unlikely event that your "to read" pile is getting low.
 
@JohnRennie I haven't read a full book in years (:
 
That seems an odd statement from an SF fan. What do you read? Just short stories?
 
@JohnRennie yes, and I live vicariously through everyone here

Q: Can 3D printing and augmented reality be used to create the Star Trek holodeck?

safe_mallocI was wondering if its possible to create a large room sized 3D printer. If 3D printing reaches the point where it can create supported structures rapidly in this room, then it maybe possible to create custom scenes. If these structures can be rapidly disassembled and the material reused for new ...

Q: Sci-fi book or story from the early 80's or before

user118098I read a sci-fi story in about the 6th or 7th grade. The movie "Passengers" triggered the memory. What I remember is that it was about a young girl waking up from a stasis "pod" or "cocoon" on a colony type ship on a super long trip. The cocoons were held on rack in levels and layers. In trying...

^ This is an old usable question, why don't we invent a title for it?
something like "Early 80s sci-fi book or story: girl on alien spaceship wakes up from stasis pod alone, occupants of other pods long dead"
it says "think the ship was piloted by aliens", that's worth a mention
