Yeah I read through that stuff when I was younger and I feel like I would remember any weird sex stuff I read as a horny teen. I don’t even remember there being a lot of sex in it.

The whole dragon sex ritual forcing its human riders to gently caress thing gets a little odd. The White Dragon also has this scene as described by the wiki:

“Jaxom becomes affected by the emotions of the green Dragon, and the Weyrlingmaster lets him leave, but Ruth takes him to Corana and the two — unexpectedly, in Corana's case — make love again. The next day, Jaxom is remorseful at his act, and isn't sure if he wants to continue being Corana's lover, although Ruth abruptly reveals that he knows Corana enjoyed their love-making; he could sense her thoughts while they were together.”

Pern or something?

But AFAIK Ursula Le Guin has always been amazing.

Also not to distract from memes, but NK Jemisin and Ann Leckie are fantasy/scifi authors people need to pay attention to, if you're at all into the genre.

I wasn’t crazy about Ancillary Justice, it definitely felt like a junior high reading level sci-fi book. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing mind blowing. The gender stuff was fine but like you said, LeGuin already did that (and executed better) in Left Hand of Darkness decades ago.

NK Jemisin’s stuff is really interesting, kind of like if Harry Potter/Dragon Age “wizard school” poo poo was written well and written by a geologist. Was a little upset to see her all over Twitter raging against Sanders for some reason but oh well. I still need to finish the Fifth Season trilogy.

you are not thinking of the right kind of water stream. do not think in terms of rain, but rather in terms of a broken dam

Terminal velocity of rain is 16-25 MPH:
https://www.uu.edu/dept/physics/scienceguys/2001Mar.cfm#:~:text=A%20smaller%20raindrop%20of%20radius,when%20they%20begin%20their%20descent.

Pee is 95% water, so the remainder is negligible physics wise:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/arti...blems.%E2%80%9D

All mammals (despite bladder size), pee for approximately 21 seconds:
https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/regardless-of-bladder-size-all-mammals-pee-for-approximately-21-seconds-with-video-goodness

Let's assume the piss starts from rest and reaches a terminal velocity of 25MPH, which is 11.176 m/s. With g= 9.8 m/s^2 this takes 1.14s until it doesn't fall any faster.

In 1.14s the piss travels 6.48m using the
deltaX = t*(v+v0)/2 equation.

In the remaining 20s of pissing it is traveling at 11.176 m/s, so it travels a further 223.52m.

So if you start pissing at a height of 230m, you will finish your piss before the first drop hits the ground.

For an example of what you need to piss off of to achieve this feat:
http://www.bluebulbprojects.com/measureofthings/results.php?comp=distance&unit=m&amt=230&sort=pr&p=1

The best piss object they list is the Eiffel Tower, which gives you plenty of margin to piss from the top and meet your goal. The Golden Gate Bridge is pretty close to ideal, pissing wise. The Washington Monument, Space Needle, and St. Paul's Cathedral are all a bit too short.

Hey team, got some new piss research for you this afternoon.

Many leading medical journals have put forth the theory that the human "bladder" stores piss:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/cystometry#:~:text=For%20the%20normal%20female%20bladder,H2O%20usually%20occurs.

And estimates that 400-600mL of piss is stored in the bladder, and the urge to piss is caused by a pressure increase of 2-6mm Hg.

While this is an interesting theory, and it is useful for simple first order approximations and estimations of pissing, we all know that piss is stored in the balls.

The average volume of the testicle is approximately 20cm^3.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicle#:~:text=Normal%20volume%20is%2015%20to,12%E2%80%9330%20cm3).

Alright so how do we fit 500mL of piss into two 20cm^3 balls? Easy - pressurize it.

Using the bulk modulus equation:

K = V * delta P / delta V

where K = 2.1 gigapascals
V0 = 500mL= 500cm^3
V1 = 2*20cm^3
deltaV = 460cm^3

2.1 GPa = 500cm^3*deltaP/(460) cm^3

Solve for deltaP, and your piss is pressurized to 1.932 gigapascals.

What's that in normal human units? A mere 19,000 atmospheres.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2.1+GPa+*+%28460%2F500%29

This is 200x the pressure at the center of the Earth, which makes sense, because when you wake up in the morning you really have to fuckin go.

I brought it to a remote cabin in Wisconsin with no internet access, where all I had to do was read it over the course of a week. It was insanely difficult, and I know I left at least the last 20-30 pages unread because I felt like I could just round up.

Maybe I lack imagination because none of the stories in there got me interested in an epic battle or a city crashing into the sea or a timeless love story.

Count how many loving characters are in this passage and if you remember who a single one is (Galadriel doesn’t count):

quote:


Thus spoke Maedhros and Maglor and Celegorm, Curufin and Caranthir, Amrod and Amras, princes of the Noldor; and many quailed to hear the dread words. For so sworn, good or evil, an oath may not be broken, and it shall pursue oathkeeper and oathbreaker to the world's end. Fingolfin and Turgon his son therefore spoke against Fëanor, and fierce words awoke, so that once again wrath came near to the edge of swords. But Finarfin spoke softly, as was his wont, and sought to calm the Noldor, persuading them to pause and ponder ere deeds were done that could not be undone; and Orodreth, alone of his sons, spoke in like manner. Finrod was with Turgon, his friend; but Galadriel, the only woman of the Noldor to stand that day tall and valiant among the contending princes, was eager to be gone. No oaths she swore, but the words of Fëanor concerning Middle-earth had kindled in her heart, for she yearned to see the wide unguarded lands and to rule there a realm at her own will. Of like mind with Galadriel was Fingon Fingolfin's son, being moved also by Fëanor’s words, though he loved him little; and with Fingon stood as they ever did Angrod and Aegnor, sons of Finarfin. But these held their peace and spoke not against their fathers.

I tried reading Dune a few years ago. I'm by no means illiterate. But I'd read pages and pages and have no idea what was going on or what I had read. I'll probably try reading it again after I see the new movie.

Dune is half sci fi hero’s journey, half political/ecological/religious world building and philosophy.

Dune Messiah is really good, almost as good as Dune. They could really just be two acts of the same book but I respect Herbert for breaking them up. I’ve re-read both several times.

Children of Dune was ok, it got very strange. I think I liked it? But I’ve never re-read that one. I didn’t continue after that if that tells you anything.

When it said "the dudes dick gets longer", I thought it meant that both parties were still asleep in bed, and then the guys dick grew to like 8 feet long. It would snuffle around blindly like a snake under the sheets until it found the puss, then go to work. This of course didn't awaken either party either, so at some point a month or two later, the couple would just be like "Oh, guess we're pregnant now."
