In zero gravity this is a legitimate concern
This is why I’m never traveling to outer space, what if I drown up there
In pussy from all the panties flying off at trying to drown the first man in space with squirt (piss)?
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.
Had to look up the movie where that happens.
It’s Passengers.
This would make a fantastic SCP.
There’s already red ice…
Yeah but red ice is obviously red, and obviously ice. I’m talking about an SCP which is water, looks like water, but if you jump in you can’t “break” out again.
Write it?
I’m gonna be honest; I’m a fairly capable writer. I just found joining the wiki very difficult.
I haven’t tried since getting medication though so you might be on to something!
New fear unlocked thx!
Three-Body , the chinese hard sci-fi series is about this question.
Is hard Sci fi different from Sci fi? What’s makes it hard?
No one really gave examples, but hard sci fi works within our understanding of physics. It’s realistic, e.g. when people go to space they put on a space suit, climb into a rocket, and launch like how they would in real life.
Soft sci fi can ignore physics. Think of star trek or star wars, where the ship gently lifts off the ground and flies up into space, no gforce issues and no trouble just chilling in the sky without falling to earth. Their ship has gravity in space, they can turn sharply and no one feels it, and if they want go go somewhere far away they just warp there. Ships often run on magic crystals. None of that is realistic based on our current physics knowledge, so it’s soft sci fi not hard sci fi.
I dunno. Most things billed as “hard sci-if” (including Three Body) end up having fantastical tech loosely based on, but not actually explained by, scientific theory, to the point of may as well be magic. Hard sci-fi is more a marketing bullet point than a reality, like when they say a new movie has no CGI.
Oh for sure. There’s a massive grey area in the middle.
I guess Three Body builds on our physics knowledge, with assumptions about new things being discovered, where as Star Wars ignores it.
Some stuff that happens later in the series (the books) does seem to be pretty much fantasy, but it doesn’t have people warp across the galaxy with no time relativity issues so it’s probably closer to hard sci fi than soft.
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
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
What if I drink it all? Its trapped in me then
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.
“I’m not trapped in here with you, you’re trapped in here with me!”
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.
Watergate, and Home?
Yep.
Like that one fart cloud enemy from Banjo Tooie that would stick to your head and deplete your air. Terrifying.
That description is hilarious
And accurate!
What if air just don’t let you breath it in one day?
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.

Go into the water Live there, die there
We reject our earthly fires Gone are days of land empires Lungs transform to take in water Cloaked in scales we swim and swim on
I think it’s time for a rewatch.
Toss in some jello packets during the meet
ask saturation divers
Go into the water Live there, die there
