It was mentioned in one of the older Star Trek movies - an enclosure for whales, I think. I didn't particularly care for that movie, but I do remember the transparent aluminum scene. If you watched it and followed the invention of transparent aluminum, particularly the timing of it, its uncanny how this development got predicted in that movie.Xavier_Onassis » 02 Feb 2023, 1:58 pm » wrote: ↑ I have said nothing at all about see through aluminum. I am pretty sure that it was not mentioned at all on Star Trek or Star Wars.
Star Trek is science fiction,but it is THOUGHTFUL sci-fi, as opposed to the sci-fi where the hero scientist wins battles with rubberoid monsters and/or little green men. Star Wars movies are more like war films that take place in outer space,but they are still way better than the usual sci-films of the 1950's.

ST IV.

I went to the crossroads.....Skans » 01 Feb 2023, 4:58 pm » wrote: ↑ Would you take this deal?So, which of you would take this deal?
- You could go back in time and be 18 years old, and retain your knowledge of everything you learned up to this point in your life.
- You get to relive your life, but not only that, you get to use the information you have at this time, even in the past. For example, you could play the stock market knowing what you know now, but back whenever you were 18 - to whatever age you are now. Or, make different personal choices, etc.
- There's no "gotcha's" - you don't have to sell your soul and nothing "bad" will necessarily happen to you. However, you will have to live with your new decisions, choices and consequences.
- Once you go back, your life will go by in real time - there's no jumping forward or back again - this is your one "do-over", but everything gets done over and it is doubtful that things will end up exactly the same as your life is right now.
- As an added bonus, if you are presently 70 years old for example (or whatever age you are), this would (potentially) give you 52 more years of life (in addition to whatever you've still got left). So, the older you are, you're sort of cheating death!

What if you got a bigger dick?Skans » 02 Feb 2023, 2:10 pm » wrote: ↑ I suppose it is only fair that I should answer the question.
I would not take the deal. If I did, I would end up living a life and an eternity of heartbreak and painful regret trying to get back what I already have.
The money. The different opportunities - all would make me something I wasn't at the time I met my wife - we would likely not meet or if we did, not fall in love. And, it would be impossible to get my child back - lost forever, but with that memory forever haunting me. Thrown away like garbage and for what? A chance to make more money and to **** like a wild wolf again? Throwing away those who you love most of all and who love you.
For me, the Devil would win this deal. He wouldn't need my soul, wouldn't even want it because it would be left vapid and empty as soon as I said "yes". He wouldn't need a damn thing from me. God blessed me with the family I have - I prayed for this family. My suffering would be eternal if I were to take that deal.
But, I realize the Devil doesn't always win either. What if I never married; never had children? Or, what if I married a hateful woman? Or, cheated on my wife and divorced without fathering children? Or, jilted a girlfriend I actually could have made a life with for sexual escapades which lead nowhere except to my own loneliness?
I might take that deal. I would have little to nothing to lose, and perhaps everything to gain.
What if I had a wife and child whom I loved very much, who were the love of my life, but lost them in a vehicle accident decades ago? Would I take the deal? Knowing I would never spend a day in my life with the child I once loved dearly, but lost. Oh, maybe I could recreate a life with my wife who died and even keep her from dying. But, the odds say I completely erased that dear child of mine from ever even existing. Could I live with that for all eternity?

I would have to say no...too much of a Twilight Zone fan...while knowing things, I would probably end up worse off because of some ill fated twist in life that would happen...

That is something I don't need nor want. As a wise woman once said "Dick is some of the freeist stuff there is". So, I figure as long as I have enough, no need to ask for more in that department. All more dick is good for is hanging it on your wall to impress your friends.

Sure, I would like to do that, only not at the age of 18 but 22... and correct something, see how that would have worked out.. but if you change something then you don't get to relive your life, it would be a different life.. the person you are now is the result of decisions you made in the past and experiences you had so you can't do it all over again, it would be a different you..Skans » 01 Feb 2023, 4:58 pm » wrote: ↑ Would you take this deal?So, which of you would take this deal?

But a deal implies you.. the devil.. would get something out of it too, if there's no gotcha it wouldn't be a deal with the devil...

In the movie Death Becomes Her, the husband (Bruce Willis) is offered the magic potion.
As the muse describes the wonderfulness of immortality, he pauses and says,
"What if I get bored? This isn't a dream... It's a nightmare!"
I am old enough to understand that.
Coupled with your post, only a fool would just jump at the offer without a thought.
Unless you have a crappy life currently the risks are worth considering.
Not every choice I made in this life was a bad one. I might **** those up...
On the plus side, it isn't immortality being offered.
But unlike consrule, I have no progeny, so my investment in the present is no impediment.
I would take the deal, BUT FOR ITS AUTHOR.
I don't know quite why, but I suspect that feller is slippery.
