The only flaw I've seen is the men who acted as living biological models not having blood pulsing through their missing halves. Stay inside the invisible zone entirely for 2 days, you become invisible, spend 2 days with your side or head outside the zone, that part of your body becomes visible but the blood and the part inside the zone remains invisible. One of the animals on the planet used that trick as well.

I'm curious as to how they keep it a secret from the women so that they don't figure out that they're being sabotaged and manipulated by their husbands, do women just not get it until they become men or is there a huge conspiracy that all of them are let in on upon becoming male? If it's a conspiracy, Dunkirk and Not-Plume might end up destroying another planet.

They can pretty much just put a limb on any part of their body and control it from what we've seen, they definitely just heal them pretty quick. Which makes sense for a race that specifically has detachable limbs. Also Dunkirk is one of my favorite Thorsby characters ever, his ridiculous scheming and quick-thinking semi-cowardice is always good.

Cat Mattress posted:Or at least, not generally applicable beyond the Tjargellos. While it tends to be Biotruth: the Webcomic; so far it has shown different aliens adopting very different approaches to fulfill the same imperative. How could the "royal harem" theory apply to the trap-building aliens who never actually meets, for example? You're assuming that every single species goes to war. I bet the ones you're talking about don't even have a word for war.

I kinda wonder if not-Plume is gonna out his identity to the Commander to force Dunkirk's hand in his favor. I doubt Dunkirk's good enough to take out Shim as well, though he is pretty sneaky.

That's pretty hilarious. You know, people like to be all "biotruths" this and that, but he's totally right. There's a pretty good reason in those charity commercials they always show you the starving african children and not the adults.

Hempuli posted:Anyway, do you people think Thorsby might personally believe some of this stuff? I have hard time believing that, but it sounds like some people in this thread do. Some of it not so much but it's pretty undeniable that we're biologically programmed to like babies. If we weren't nobody would put up with their poo poo because they're terrible in almost every way. edit: I understand that a lot of the general reluctance to acknowledge this sort of stuff because a lot of stupid assholes use it to justify sexism or racism, but it's hardly a reason to pretend like it doesn't influence the way we are in pretty large ways.

BiggerJ posted:To add to the opposite end: just as it hasn't been very long since we outgrew the need to want to eat fatty foods and store body fat, hence our continued instinct to do so, the spacefaring humans of Petrevolt haven't yet evolved an instinctive aversion to the death of a species. They've only been off Earth for a couple thousand years. Aside from the obvious cosmetic genetic things that other races modified into them they're evolutionarily pretty much identical to the humans of Earth.

Well, stopping them from having a war with themselves and instead having them have a war against another species is certainly one way to stop them from blowing themselves up. Might also be a good way to get all of humanity wiped out but hey, those babies were pretty cute.

vyelkin posted:Don't forget, too, that they're all running around outside a hospital having just had major brain surgery. The scientist lady was really adamant that doing so was super risky, so it's almost inevitable that one of the Ulfs will be the unlucky one who dies from complications. There's a pretty good chance she was just saying that because she wanted him to stick around for her scam. It could be true but it could also be bullshit.

That's an awfully short time to be suddenly trusting this insane person to run away to a remote Swedish cabin together, even if you are pretty fond of them and they helped you fulfill your crazy robot sex fantasy. I assume you meant Aisha, not Vera. Well it's either you run away to a remote Swedish cabin or you hang around to get killed by an angry scientist lady. Ulf's already proven pretty solidly that his brain chip is for real.

All Ulfs are the Ulf we were originally following, but I'm fairly confident that the Ulf on the left side of this page is the one who we've been following for most pages of the story. He's Ulf AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA or something like that.

I just checked it out of curiosity, by week 21 there should be 2,097,152 Ulfs total, but there's only 713,866. That's 2 dead Ulfs for every living one.

The number is increasing, but the percentage of dead Ulfs out of the total number has been decreasing every week, so Ulf's efforts at world-saving have been working to some extent.

Mister Olympus posted:Now how many clicks until they run into an Aisha that converted when the first Christian Ulf did, and she starts hijacking things? That's not how it works, the universe she connects to only splits off from when she hits the button, just like the universe that Ulf connects to only splits off from that 1 week interval time. None of the Ulfs came form before the chip was implanted, and none of the Aishas will have any previous experience different from the Aisha we've been following all the story, only their futures will be different.

The first Aisha to ever use the chip is substantially more experienced and mature than the Aisha that existed back when she first met Ulf, she has the advantage of having spent all this time watching Ulf lose his mind trying to fix the world and knowing what not do to, as well as having a clear goal to pursue.
