this is how we get Cyclolucidites

like many other war crimes, it only counts if you do it to a ‘uniformed combatant’ of a country recognized by NATO

still less penetration less quick than if u used the nuke to propel a solid projectile real fast. photons have like negligible/arguably nonexistent mass, the real fun with lasers (as weapons) is using them to target enemy optics (mechanical or biological). one relatively weak but rapidly spinning laser array could permanently blind an entire unit or crowd of people nearly instantly if they don’t have specialized protective equipment like high-quality mirror goggles (implausible) or camera/sensor helmets with replaceable/redundant sensors (likely doable in the future but impractical currently).

yea turns out lasers aren’t magical lightsaber blades that immediately cut through anything, and actually need time to heat the surface of their target while having issues with penetrating thick or dense materials.

lion king porn is usually ‘feral’ (no physical humanoid traits, just a normal animal body) and often focuses on child characters, so is especially problematic imo.

‘neither male, nor female, but forward’

china building the Magi system from neon genesis for real

they want to sell ur email + metadata to data analysis corps so they can sell that aggregate info + analysis to other corps (associating email/identity with specific interests for marketers etc.)

this is also why we need mecha in addition to drones imo

not an expert but i believe there is an element of haptic feedback with these surgery robotics so you can ‘feel’ what you are doing and how much resistance there is to your actions, imagine trying to cut next to an artery without being able to feel when you are about to cut into it until 100ms late for example. even more difficult if the system relies on pure visual input to the surgeon with no haptics information.

idk about you but i would actually find it horrific if they kept tissue from a human arm alive (say, a bicep) and made it do stuff with electrical signals (say, lift something) for ‘research purposes’, that’s actual Strogg behavior, we are approaching the Quake 4 future the fascists dream of
