          That actually makes sense considering I have a vagina, and sometimes when I cum, I mistake it for having pissed…

          To be fair I haven’t always had a vagina

            Neat. I’ve never really looked into bottom surgery but that’d be pretty sweet if they essentially use the male parts for lubricant or some kind of skenes gland opening. Last I remembered it took people decades ago lota of prep for sex and lube lol.

        Hard sci-fi is when writers take time to understand current science and understanding how things would work, and then apply it to the future. Arthur C. Clarke is the default example of hard sci-fi.

        Basically, “hard” sci-fi uses real world science to figure out how something would work in a future setting. And hard sci-fi really tries to figure out if something is practical outside of a set piece. “Soft” sci-fi is more about social problems of the real world and beyond, like Star Trek. But there isn’t an exact formal definition for where hard starts and soft begins, and vice versa.

        And I think 95% of scifi fans would agree that neither is better or worse, it just fits the story as its needed. Personally I love hard scifi as a concept, but my favorite scifi stories are all soft, like Star Trek.

          Glad to see The Expanse on the TV show list. First couple episodes a dude loses his head and the blood coalesced into a blob, I knew right then and there it was going to be a good show

          I’d say the classic example of hard sci-fi is The Martian. There’s only one scientifically inaccurate scene in the whole book, and that’s when a martian sandstorm strands Watney. Weir did all the math, and indeed was so insightful about NASA’s internal politics they demanded to know his source.

        “Hard” science fiction usually means that the futuristic concepts and fancy technology are based on (and limited) by our current understanding of the physical universe - if you had enough engineering ability, you could actually do the things presented in the story. This is in contrast to things like Star Wars and Star Trek, where the things they’re able to do are basically fantasy dressed up with a technological skin.

        It’s when they make the aliens strangely sexy in a way only you can appreciate.

      Wait when did this happen? I only remember the aliens and nanofibers (and that fucking boatscene, damn)

      Or did you mean the books, I just assumed it was about the TV show

      With the human body being in most part water, it’s like you’re giving it reins over you freely.

        I feel like the water I already had inside would keep the control and not betray me seeing new, evil water joining. It just wouldn’t go down like that.

          Every time you shower or take a bath, your water betrays you for a quick hookup. Water only has loyalty to water.

    Stargate has an episode like that. With sort of zombies. It’s great! You should watch it.

    Stargate Atlantis also has a similar one. With fog instead.

      That’s not a what if, it’s a when. Might not happen suddenly, but our air quality and ability to breathe it is going down fast the longer pollution reigns supreme. Air becoming a luxury is a real threat that money owners happily ignore.

    Like that one fart cloud enemy from Banjo Tooie that would stick to your head and deplete your air. Terrifying.
