Reply to comment by icefire9 in [WP] When you discovered your daughter was a magical girl, you angrily confronted her patron. However, you were surprised to see that they also did not like the fact that your daughter was a magical girl but unfortunately, she was literally the only option they had. by Bloodgulch-Idiot

I remember there was a manga where a body builder is one of the two potential candidates to take up the mantle of magical "girl", the other being the young generic kid you would expect. When he found out, he basically took it for himself even though the patrons wanted the girl.

In the event you wonder what that looks like: https://myanimelist.net/character/36730/Atsushi_Takada/pics

I vaguely remember him actually being quite exceptional in working as a magical "girl".

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

When you really think about it, cars are also propelled by explosions. We are the TORGUE of the galaxy!

Reply to comment by the_dayman in [WP] Every species in the galaxy eventually fell to a robot uprising, leading to the eradication of their people. Therefore the machine-council of the galaxy are surprised when a newly discovered machine civilisation from a planet they designated "Earth" arrives side by side with their creators. by Kitty_Fuchs

If allowed to propagate, it would take less than five years for it to spread and consume 99% of all plastics on the planet. I'm telling you this so you can understand why I chose to release it this morning." by InspiredNameHere

Wouldn't that just mean that plastic is basically airborne and will be breathed by living beings around the world? Doesn't sound too good for the body.

Reply to comment by twobit211 in TIL: raccoons are native to North America, having been introduced elsewhere only in the 20th century. by acequark

I'm not all that surprised, I remember at one point when I was living in Ontario they were sort of at war with raccoons when trying to make a garbage container that prevented raccoons from getting in and was inexpensive enough.

At one point the lid was made more complicated so they wouldn't be able to open it...but this resulted in the material itself being somewhat cheaper, and raccoons would scratch the bottom of the containers until they made a hole to grab stuff out of.
