I read it in middle school and loved it, but I went back to the school library recently while home and looked for it to no avail. I will list all the details I remember:
It starts off with an agrarian society in which people are all happy. A person has memories of a grandparent who died a long...
I was searching Google trying to find an anime I saw 6 to 8 years ago and found this post from late 2019 and no one successfully answered the question so I'm reposting it, I'm pretty sure that the post is talking about the same anime (if not the plots are near identical)
Here is a copy of the ori...
It can be seen in Endgame that cap can too summon the Mjolnir and it flies to him as it does with Thor. But what happens when both of them try to summon it at the same time?
If it goes to one of the then would that mean one is worthier than the other?
If your answer is related to distance between...
Novel very similar to Eric Flint's "Time Spike". Pretty sure it was published 5-10 year ago.
A platoon? of US solders and their vehicles (APCs and Hummers) [like 12 people, and 5 vehicles] on duty in the middle east, are displaced back in time.
In addition they discover there are also a large gro...
I read this book in 2018/2019. It's a young adult science fiction trilogy about a world where people can upload their minds and consciousness to a simulated computer world and interact with others. If they die in the computer world, they die in the real world too. If their body dies in the real w...
I read a manga some weeks back where the main character was in coma for several years while his soul was in the Hall of Heroes (where all the souls of heroes of the past are) and received training and knowledge from these heroes. After the training was completed his soul returned to his body and ...
@Marvin I was going to answer that, we don't know is fine as an answer and it is relatively answerable from addressing several misconceptions it puts forward
In the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, "One World, One People",
However, almost as soon as the trucks set off they are blown up. The camera then pans over to an old man in a car putting what is likely the detonator into his pocket.
Who detonated the bomb to blow up the armour...
This short video shows some clips of actor Bradley Cooper performing and recording the voice of Rocket Racoon: "Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-ray Featurette Clip 4" (from the YouTube channel Marvel Entertainment).
In one shot you can briefly see in the ba...
The novel "The Lovers" (1950) and the novella "Rastignac the Devil" (1954) are set in a universe that has this fictional story:
-Earth suffers a biological apocalypse that is about to wipe out the human race.
-The few survivors belong to isolated minority races that spread throughout the world, s...
I'm looking for the title and author of a short story I read sometime between the late '70s and the '80s.
It's about a young couple who are curious about a neighbor with a peculiar behavior. I don't recall the specifics of this behavior. But the neighbor ends up being an alien that is appraising ...
In The Fellowship of the Ring (movie), Gandalf arrives at the Shire to much fanfare. In particular, young children chase his wagon hoping to see some magic. This would logically imply that Gandalf was well known in the Shire, since the children would be too young to remember him if he was not a...
@TheLethalCarrot I've seen this in other fora as well. Not even the username changed. I don't even understand how this spam is supposed to work. And the persistence is odd, given how fast it's slapped down.
That said, at some point SE could usefully just match a full post against the text and block it before posting. (Or, better, swallow it while appearing to work.)
@TheLethalCarrot Huh. That's even worse. Maybe links in likely spam should be temporarily inactivated? Even if only for 5 minutes to give the community time to react.
@Mithical What's your opinion of Carrot's idea? You have a lot better insight than I into how these things work, and the potential for unwanted side-effects.
We know that Fiona’s curse puts her as a human from sunrise to sunset and as an ogre in the night from sunset to sunrise.
But what about when the seasons change from summer to winter? In winter, the sun sets round about 4 o’clock (at least, where I live).
Would Fiona still change from human to og...
In many Hollywood movies (specially movies with catastrophes like earthquakes, aliens, tsunamis, tornadoes...) military personal always wake up some scientists at their houses and take them (sometimes in pajamas) to a secret base under the earth where the scientists will usually solve the situati...
Back in the 1960s I read a science ficiton book or story, probably by a prominent Britisch science fiction writer like Brian W. Aldiss, where in the distant future the planet Earth had a ring.
This ring was composed of rubble from the Moon, which had exploded. The Moon had been used as graveyard...
I'm watching the movies, and I don't know if it is given some explanation in the books, it has been quite some years since I read those. Anyway, I can't help but wonder, what if Gandalf had summoned the eagles in the Shire, to carry them all to the Lonely Mountain, after he'd gone to the elves to...
About 10 or so years ago, I remember watching a movie where there was this planet inhabited by a race of aliens. The boss alien, a big green thing, would often dip the smaller aliens in liquid nitrogen or some other deep-freezing agent if they displeased him. I don't remember much more.
I read this short story in an anthology book from a public library in England around the mid to late eighties.
The story concerned two characters (I believe a man and a woman, possibly lovers) and the complete set of bones from a strange skeleton, which is almost but not quite human. I think one...
