Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] When humans make contact with the wider galactic community, it is discovered we were the only species to use rockets for space travel. Most other species use much safer antigravity tech. So they are appalled to learn that we basically propel ourselves into space with explosions. by UndyingCorn

A mournful dirge begins, tear-jerking choirs harmonizing with a soaring violin, bespeaking tragedies and losses known by none for generations.

A hand slowly raises, a small brick of pure deletion gripped tight in white-knuckled fingers. It moves across the snowy plaque, erasing a single line from existence before another hand shakily replaces it with an oval.

The "Days Since 'Humans are Space-Orcs Prompt'" counter has been reset from 1 to 0.

The children weep.

Reply to comment by lacergunn in [WP] No one courts death like a human. They eat food that evolved to be toxic, ingest known poison for recreation, engage in potentially lethal sport for fun, and have an incredibly high risk tolerance. On the galactic stage they are feared, admired, and generally considered crazy. by SeriousGoofball

sadly resets the counter to "0 Days Since" as the violins swell, the tragic melody of the piano sweeping away dreams of one day seeing the counter rise above "1"

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] They call you an "eldritch horror". They say you drive humans insane with your incomprehensible cosmic revelations. They you're evil and want to end the world or something. LIES AND SLANDER! All you ever intended was to uplift these ungrateful savages from their primitive existence! by aRandomFox-II

That's a pretty broad statement and very clearly isn't true. Not "everyone" knows the risks. People gamble, invest, and spend money on things all the time without bothering to learn the risks. There are still people who thinking vaping nicotine is less addictive than smoking cigarettes, still people losing their life savings in Vegas.

And you might make the claim that they're idiots who are the exception, not the rule, but I'm not sure the stats agree. Either way, there are plenty of folks who would gladly take huge risks without truly understanding the stakes, and if even one of them has seen this dude's vids and rethought their next move, then he's done someone a serious service.

Another YouTuber, Ann Reardon, started with just cooking vids, then started debunking fake viral cooking hacks, then branched out into debunking or challenging other trends. She covered electric wood burning (I feel like there's a name for it but it escapes me right now) and how and why certain how-to videos were immensely dangerous. People died replicating them, and many other people chose not to because she shed light on that.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [EU] The CIA are trying to kill Clark Kent and make it look like an accident. They don't know he's Superman, he's just a really good journalist and is getting too close to some things the government wants to keep secret. by Affectionate_Bit_722

I'm always baffled when I see an old Tumblr post totally recycled into a WP. I know it's not theft, technically, but it feels disingenuous.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You're a SCRABBLE nut, and a world class player. You've never lost. Little did you know that you had a superpower, one of linguistic retcon -- the universe would change so that any letters you placed were always a valid word. But are there consequences to changing a language. by thetomahawk42

I need a sequel to one of these where an Eldritch entity of some sort manipulates your plays so you recreate a spell in an ancient and erased language to summon horrors from beyond the veil.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] A prophecy foretells that a newborn baby will one day grow up to end your evil reign. Knowing that fighting fate is useless, you decide instead to take the child in and raise them as your heir. by NateTSO

Yeah this was a Tumblr post years ago

Reply to [PM] Give me prompts to help me think of some character and plot ideas. I'm looking to write a Cyberpunk story without being too derivative of the series I'm watching right now (Cyberpunk Edgerunners). Bonus points if the prompt includes something to help make the world unique and different. by SorryUncleAl

Cybernetic enhancements and prosthetics are common, and advanced models have minor AI programming to make them better at certain tasks. One day, someone gets bored and decides to see what happens if they combined a number of such advanced prosthetics, only to find they've accidentally created the world's first true AI in an exceptionally capable body.
