Q: Comic in which Wonder Woman tunnels through the ground by spinning really fast

KernelPanicSometime in the last ten years, I saw an excerpt of a comic in which Wonder Woman was trapped underground, I believe with one other person. To resolve this conundrum, she turned sideways and spun so quickly that her body functioned as a drill. My memory is of a cross-sectional view of an dirt tun...

Q: What killer robot is this?

Tikersillo8 SlerI'm about to go crazy trying to find this movie. It is about a humanoid robot with an all-metal body except for the head.

Q: Help finding sci-fi movie with depressed android

Gemma WoodI have a very vague memory of a sci-fi film I watched as a child in the 1980s (I don't know if the film was made in the 80s, it could be 70s).

Q: SF Book about Extreme Socialist Society with penalties for gifted people

Rohit GuptaI read this store some 10+ years ago. I am pretty confident that it was a short story. I have been through my collection a few times but I haven't been able to find it.

Q: Short story involving time dilation and a girl growing up while her astronaut mother explores other planets

CoalSmudgeI am trying to find a short story I read a few years back in a science fiction course. I believe the name of it was "Borrowed Time" but there is a short film and a new anthology with the same title, so I can't find it online or the title is completely different.

Q: Manga (I think its a manga) where the female lead is reborn because she committed suicide, i think?

user174511I saw in a recap, but they never told me what the name of the manga was. It starts with, I think the female lead (FL) named Stella and her sister, that's apparently not her sister and they were both adopted by this one duke guy that already had two sons that were weirdly exact copies of him. Then...
