That's

Okay I don't know *exactly* how ticks work, but they don't work like that.
They're not the gross insects which inject embyroes, they're more like vampires. 

Though my parents tell stories-
And this is a bit gross-

Spoiler: My dad insists this is true (click to show/hide)

Supposedly my great-gma, who I knew growing up, once had a "mole" for several years.  And my brave father was the only person who would point out that it was a tick.

He exaggerates, but I think there's a kernel of truth.  And that's awful.

[Frumple]

I mean, normal ticks don't work like that, sure. Who can say for fanta's ticks?

[Rolan7]

I suppose Nazi-adjacent ticks are capable of rationalizing anything.

I just considered Nazi-adjacent bedbugs and it was too real.

[Frumple]

... y'know, it took me a minute to remember that bit of history.

Parasitic soda ticks is the kinda' wunderwaffen nonsense they'd get up to, though, innit...

i think nazi-adjacent bedbugs are just bedbugs, tho

[Rolan7]

I literally can't imagine bedbugs being any worse than they actually were, yeah.

Thought while dreaming of playing Battlefield 3 in my usual way (Trying to use knife whenever at all possible): "I should have made my nickname be Kurohebi (, Clumsy Assasin)." Looking at my stats, out of 1132 kiils 136 were done with knife and 40 with C4.

[Rolan7]

Now that's a noife *looking at a handful of c4*

Stabbing people with explosives is my favorite way to stab people.

Barbed hand grade harpoon. Impossible to remove, 100% a war crime

[Frumple]

Probably split atoms, I think. Stopping someone from setting off a nuke is pretty high up there on reasons to hurt someone...

[Il Palazzo]

What's the smallest thing you think you would be willing to hurt someone over?

For me it would be hurting my pets or knowingly destroying a piece of my garden without justification.

And not trying to take your drill away?

Oh yeah, definitely that. Coyotes killed several of our chickens last year. Never successfully hit one, but definitely shot at them several times and nearly caught one by hand. Threw rocks at the deer in the garden, which didn't ultimately save the garden. Going to have to eat some deer...
Legally, I could shoot and kill someone who attacked or tried to steal my livestock or horses (state law actually still says cattle rustling and horse thieving are hangable offenses, wild west shit out here why I never trespass on other people's property they could shoot me or I'd end up in jail. Nobody's actually recieved the death penalty from a court of law as far as I'm aware but plenty of people have been shot and killed by rednecks), not necessarily my garden though. And I would never actually do that, but I can absolutely demand they leave and call the cops just for trespassing, who'll show up 45 minutes or so later after showing up at the wrong properties first.

I'll start a fight over my animals though.

I dunno if this actually fits here, but here it goes.

I wanna write a fantasy series based off of Internet itself. Not really like a story, but as a personal journal of a exploring scientist. The scientist, which is more akin to artificer scholar, uses a magical construct to temporarily summon creatures from a "strange, transcendant realm" that is not accessible to material beings. This realm is The Internet we have here. The realm the scientist is on has a lower "meta-level" than The Internet, both being below ours.

Like, the scientist can't get inside the internet himself since he is less real than it, and whatever he draws takes on a form of being appopriate for its "context" in its native realm and possess supernatural features. He can peer inside with the same construct, though. He essentially websurfs with his construct, though it is much more real to him than it is to us. All he sees will be more real than his own surroundings.

The format of the entries is that the scientists peering device either locks onto or is sometimes intercepted by an entity or entities flowing into his realm and into a temporary observatory. This is done by "pulling at the web", and moving a section of it into his realm; same logic as jumping and pulling something down by force. He then makes his observations before the web pulls itself back up and drags the alien entites back in the process.

What do you think? Can this be pulled off? Can I do this idea justice, if it is even a good idea at all?

[Eric Blank]

Only if he at least once accidentally pulls beings from porn sites. The internet is full of sluttery, afterall.
