There are no posts from last week listed on the Recent Activity page, so this appears to have happened to all posts from last week. I’ve checked on multiple networks and devices, so it seems like it would be like that for everyone.

Well it would be an orbit through the core, not around the core. It would basically be a straight line, they’d be going back and forth on. It’s a similar scenario to an oscillating spring. And that’s assuming the hole goes all the way through.

I think it would mainly cause the no-gravity location to be not in the geometric…[Read more]

In a symmetrical sphere, the gravity gets weaker the closer you get to the center. At the center the gravity is zero. Gravity will always pull toward the center, so if you were passing through the center, gravity would change directions. (If you want more details look up Newton’s shell theorem). Your planet is not spherically…[Read more]

I thought it may have become stigmatized because people used it in situations where they didn’t mean “am not”,

Just looking it up now, though, it looks like the history might be a little more complicated. Merriam-Webster dictionary says it originally came from a…[Read more]

@catwing is right that when you delete a file it only removes a record that the file exists, not the actual data. As a result, there is software that exists that can attempt to recover deleted files. However, if you save something else to…[Read more]

This would probably be a lot of work. People would have to find your website, so you would have to figure out how to market it. To make money you could still use a Patreon account or you could look into advertising (or both). You could also…[Read more]

It’s from a nuclear fusion reaction.

@scarletimmortalized
This caused me to realize that nuclear reactions are another way of generating heat. However, you would have to think through if the technology necessary to develop nuclear reactors requires fire.

It is pretty hard to think about…[Read more]

I was wondering if some personality types that were prevalent among writers (…or at least prevalent among writers who join online forums and are into personality types…). Maybe this thread will help me figure that out. For example, I’ve noticed a lot of INTJ’s on this site, but that could just be because I notice people who have my p…[Read more]

Steampunk involves technology and alternative history which are science fiction concepts.

I like how I can use my imagination to build my own worlds.

However, recently I have started writing fiction set in the real world. I use world building to connect several story ideas together.
