TikTok does not show you "everyone". It teaches us an algorithm can addict you to a carefully selected set of short 6 second clips. People watch their little bubble thinking they saw everyone without even realizing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ—จ

People need to think about the crazy potential of geothermal energy in general. Thanks for bringing that up ๐ŸŒ‹ . But the problem here: How do we get the Pizza down there ๐Ÿ•. Folding the Pizza through a Borehole ๐Ÿ—ผ? How stable is the temperature at 100ยฐC spots?

No other gaming company seems to do as much for open source as Valve. Microsoft finances its closed source XBox platform, Sony does the same with Playstation. Epic? Nope.

Hate that aspect of social networks as well. Someone has to moderate manually in the end, once a community is not finely curated. Since that is not pleasant experience.

Thats why I Love the idea that users have to show some merit before allowed to join a community. But that kind of system does not scale well. And social networks usefulness is all about scale. There are contradicting forces at play here.

For Videos I can get it, since that costs much storage and bandwidth for the host ๐ŸŽž๏ธ. But for raw text/html? No.

Can someone tell me what happens if my Lemmy instance host shuts down ๐Ÿ’€? Will my posts be deleted?

With the mass adaption of discord these kind of "nice search engine finds ๐Ÿ”" will become rare again.

And I heard that reddit also has a special search engine deal with google while blocking others?

Grabbing me the popcorn: This will be interesting, many weird, unknown systems are introduced on Elbaph๐Ÿฟ.

  • Animal gigantification: The World Government failed to create anything gigantic, meanwhile on Elbaph cats, hedgehogs and bees are giant, everything is scaled giant? ๐Ÿ“ Classic WG L
  • Why can the cat transfrom into a lion? ๐Ÿˆ->๐Ÿฆ
  • Why is Yggdrasil so important to the giants? ๐ŸŒณ Seems to carry their country
  • Some giant cultures build with lego houses? Reminds me of the building of modular houses in Scandinavian countries nowadays.
  • Interesting we never saw these Lego houses in Big Moms flashbacks on Elbaf, indicates isolated giant cultures.

Also: Usopp before fight: ๐Ÿ‘บ Usopp after fight against giant house cat: ๐Ÿคฅ

 

[Theory chapter 1124+] The defense Hierarchy of Elbaph

Are Giant Warrior Pirates the Giant army?

Supposedly the giants have the strongest army in the world (according to BigMom), yet we have seen the giant warrior pirates lackluster performance. Of course they tanked the egghead buster call quite well, and even played with battleships like Toyboats, but this pirate crew does not seem worthy of a Yonko Bigmoms attention. The giant pirates do not use Haki and only brute strength, like their giant archers sinking boats with .... giant arrows. Their captains Dorry and Broggy may only use Haki with their strongest attack -- Hakoku sovereignty.

Warland

This lead me to the theory that the giant warrior pirates are outcasts and joked about for their weakness by the true warriors of Elbaph who live deep inside the island. Elbaph may be organized in multiple defense rings, where each ring is at war with its neighbors. This would explain the name Warland Elbaph, a land at constant war with itself to evolve a capable growing defense against outside invasion forces. Giants seem to be thick headed, easy to anger and its common among them to fight decades long battles for forgettable reasons as Dorry and Broggy have shown.

The Defense Realms of Elbaf

So let me characterize the defense rings / realms / levels of Elbaph:

  • Outer defense Belt: Pirate outcasts live at the coast.
    • the coast is defended by pirates only ~ they do not like if outsiders point a gun at their hometown (RIP captain Kid)
    • Shanks has set up camp there, keeping a fragile peace
    • Government agents like Mother Caramel where only able to infiltrate this outermost ring, not further inland, before she got banished from the land for Big Moms tantrum.
    • Giant beasts comparable to the five elders beast transformations in size roam its forests, as Dorry and Broggy recount at egghead
    • frequent incursions by the inner rings force the pirates to escape outwards and seek fame and resources in foreign lands
    • giant mountain passes make it difficult to intrude further inland (as shown in the Shanks vs Kid Anime episode, these mountain scenery feels like the Alps of Heidi Girl of the Alps)
  • Inner Defense Ring: Giant Army fort
    • giants skilled in the use of Armament and Observation train here, hunting giant beasts.
    • the greatest honor is to become a personal guard of Prince Loki
    • the Palace guard of king Loki recruits from their ranks.
    • this is the Army of giants Big Mom wanted to attain by marrying Prince Loki with her daughter
  • Innermost ring: Yagdrasil / Adam tree
    • a giant tree seems to grow in the center of Elbaph. Perhaps its inspired by the legend of Yagdrassil "the world tree"
    • Prince Loki chills in the Palace and his honor guard reside here
    • Adam wood is sold here, making this region extremely rich.
    • Conquerors Haki users are common, nocking out approaching invaders with ease
  • ((Treetop)): The entire defense of Elbaph is centered to protect this treasure. Only a brave warrior of the sea can reach it ...
