Half of Robin Hood's animation is from other movies, so they kind of had to have the snake do the same thing it did in Jungle Book to be able to reuse those bits So the question should really be why the snake does it in Jungle Book. It does it in Robin Hood because it does it in Jungle Book

Was Alan Moore into something when the mirrored Alice starved to death? Are there foods and substances that actually exist that would work similarly, or is that science fiction?

Leave posted:Mostly because a lot of the defenders of it sound like stupid, self-righteous assholes. To put it very simply, in large molecules you can have identical atoms bound to the same central atom, but in a different arrangement, which can dramatically alter the behavior of these molecules. It is especially relevant in biological systems, due to how specific and complex they can be. An example of this is all Amino acids have two possible arrangements of their atoms, known as the "D-form" (D for dextro, or right-handed) and "L-form" (L for Levoro, or left-handed). All proteins are formed with the "L-form" of each amino acid, while the "D-forms" are very uncommon in nature. This is in contrast to any synthetic chemistry, where you would expect to form roughly 50% of each type without some mechanism encouraging the formation of one form over the other. The different "handed" versions of each molecule would not function properly if you tried to assemble them into food. You could individually substitute types of molecules (like one specific type of sugar, or one specific AA) with its mirror, and you would get a range of results from no functional difference (body can break down/use both forms) to killing you (mirrored image of something good is a poison). This relationship is known as "enantiomers", and this video/looking on wikipedia will probably help more than my explanation. https://youtu.be/V-2OTlRH65g?si=fRItc79DgxbDQnID

Could, for whatever reason, we make opposite "handed" food? Its like in Tetris when you need an L to clear a line and get a J instead and it blocks everything up. A lot of chemistry (especially biological stuff) relies on things fitting together just right, and depending on the shape of the hole a mirrored molecule might just not fit. Bulk calories might be a strech since those systems have evolved to take on a lot of options, but a problem with chirality in a critical micro-nutrients/vitamins seems more plausible. Say that the Vitamin C in the mirror world is backwards and doesn't fit anymore and she'll die of scurvy.

Sometimes this is very important, like in Thalidomide, where the right handed version is a useful drug for a variety of diseases, but the left handed one causes horrible birth defects.

DildenAnders posted:Chirality This is all really fascinating, thanks. I knew chirality was a thing because of some dialog in Breaking Bad (which touched on the Thalidomide thing) but the way you explained it is really concise. In my line of work it's obviously not life-or-death but one time our supplier sent us two left-handed studio monitors (speakers; sometimes they're designed to be chiral and oriented a specific way) and I got to explain the concept of chirality to my coworkers. What kind of dunce ships two left-handed monitors???

The hair has a nap and loses the race, the tortoise is the winner so now he is “the fastest animal”. In his new role it’s his job to run thru the Forrest and warn the animals when there is a fire. There’s a fire, he’s slow as gently caress, everyone dies.

Thanks for the explanation, Dilden!

If that's supposed to mean it prevents aging, that's kinda rear end-backwards -- geros means "old age" and iatricos means "medical" hence the way we use that word

Extra row of tits posted:Kinda off topic but the actual ending to the tortoise and the hair is hysterical. It's funny, but not the original ending. This was added like a hundred years ago as a satirical take on it. The original "slow and steady wins the race" version everyone knows goes all the way back to Aesop of ancient Greece.

I don't think most sighted people ever learn to read by ear that fast because it's so easy to read fast with your eyes but that's a pretty normal speed for people who use those programs or devices. I've seen videos where people show you the difference between the speed they listen to for quick easy stuff and the speed they use for better comprehension but they're both pretty far beyond anything I can understand.
