WAIT IS YOUR BDAY IN JUNE HAPPY BDAY

Ahem

Well this year one of my favorite artist's released an album and it was amazing. June has nice weather. We had our garage sale in June. It rained a lot. Father's day is in June. Some important birthdays are in June for me. Perfect swimming weather. Everyone gets out of school. And many more…

excellent glad you like june lol
I like… idk I like all of winter. I'm not a big fan of heat and summer tbh, the only reason why I tolerate it is bc my bday is in July

Same I prefer cold

But June is different

honestly that's fair

SPACE MYTHS GUYS

I NEED SOME HELP I STARTED A CHAT IN CREATURES IF YOU WANNA HELP ME BRAINSTORM

MAY I SWITCH SUBJECTS SOMEWHAT????

UUHHHHHHHHHHH SURE?

What are your opinions on space travel? Like lightspeed, hyperspace, or cryosleep?

I really liked the way Treasure Planet did it where there were Solar tides and stuff that carried the ships fast enough

YUSS

What about realistically though? Like in our world (well, galaxy)

Hyperspace is my preference

I think lightspeed will probably be it for our universe

Cool!
It's an interesting thing to think about. I found this one article on space traveling while researching some things…
https://io9.gizmodo.com/there-s-only-one-way-you-could-personally-visit-an-exop-1773864995

For my universe, I thought of the long distance space drive to be a black hole generator, the rest of the ship would be so close to the black hole, it would generate extra gravity and make it seem like it had more mass. Because of this, it would make it almost seem like they were travelling at the speed of light.

The book I just finished this morning relied heavily on wormholes, and the universal relevance of a planet was heavily dependent on whether there was a wormhole nearby that gave the rest of the species easy access to that planet

Also @That_One_Purple_Owl_that's_into_Sci-Fi that's a v good article I like it

Yeet

The book I just finished this morning relied heavily on wormholes, and the universal relevance of a planet was heavily dependent on whether there was a wormhole nearby that gave the rest of the species easy access to that planet

That’s super cool

not entirely true though,

Yeah but still super cool

well yeah wormholes are mostly theoretical at this point, and any that we think exist are itsy bitsy
but like scifi is cool because it can be soft or theoretical science
I'd say "hard" scifi is cooler though- like Doctor Who got to be more sciencey/technical when capaldi came on, and I like that (but I have a friend who doesn't really watch anymore bc she doesn't like the technical stuff, tragic)

Glad ya liked the article!
I'll probably use cryosleep. I haven't seen it in too many things.

yeah and cryosleep is just so cool! And it just has so many benefits that can be used in a story
like… preserving the last of a race after a massacre (like the Alteans in Voltron), putting someone with a deadly injury in while everyone figures out how to solve it (which also might have happened in voltron once… but I can't remember tbh…) and like, space travel like the article said…. yes scifi is cool thank you for coming to my TED talk

Applauds kat_i_am's TED talk

THANK YOU THANK YOU
the "thanks for coming to my ted talk" meme thing is like my favorite thing

Yeah

oof I'm having a block any suggestions for the myths?
