Okay, so I'm in the writing faze of a series, and I really wanna incorporate time travel in the latter half of it.

However, my problem with it is my brain isn't big enough to comprehend time travel much.

My series follows a digital world, with the individuals within becoming sentient after the developer of the world pours his consciousness and heart into it (basically in the style of the movie '9', if anyone here has seen it).

However, later in the show, a threat is oncoming and to defeat it the characters need to travel into the past to find an individual that prophecies of the present tell can stop the threat.

The people in the past are before the whole 'sentience inheritence'.

The issue is I really wanna make the people in the past aware too (I'm not gonna spoil why, but it does have plot importance). The way I'm imagining is some sort of bomb taken from the future that has captured the essence of the developer's soul that can be unleashed on the world.

Only issue with that is that if they did this, everyone of the past would already have soul, which would mean the people of the future don't have to go back with the bomb which means they never get soul.

Is there any way to get around this?

So, I'm making an animated series in the future and I wanna build a nexus. It would be non-commercial on YouTube, but I still wanna be careful with which universes I do. I plan to incorporate the Valve games as universes and also Minecraft as a universe (both are very happy with non-commercial stuff made about them).

I also plan to add the backrooms, maybe Alice in Wonderland, and an SCP universe.

What are some other universes that could be done?

They all need to have some supernatural or otherworldly element, and I specifically want more public domain universes.

This is more so a question of why it doesn't exist over a new invention idea, as I'm sure someone's already thought it up.

Paper receipts are obviously damaging for a number of reasons, including littering (a lot of people just toss them) and unnecessary damage of trees to produce them. I'm pretty sure if you pay via card, sometimes you get digital receipts for stuff (I might be wrong. I don't ever use digital currency as I don't trust it much).

Why can't we have digital receipts for physical money (cash) transactions?

I know they can't automatically send you a receipt via email if it's via cash, but could a system not be implemented to produce a photographic receipt, which the buyer can then photograph with their phone if wanted?

It might take an additional few seconds due to how people aren't always the fastest, but it wouldn't be a requirement. Like current receipts, you would get asked if you want it, and if you don't then the process isn't required. The difference is that if you DO want a receipt (or if they print a receipt even if you don't, as some printers actually do that even if you say no), it wouldn't cause removal of trees for it, and since most companies [that have physical shops] print receipts, this would be a great difference if people chose to participate.

I just wanna ask WHY this doesn't exist.

Are there downsides?

Okay, so this might be a strange question but I want to emphasise it is ENTIRELY theoretical. ☎️

If anyone has ever watched the movie 9, you'll remember how the puppets in the film are alive because of their creator giving them his soul, making them technically he him but just with different new personalities and memories.

Theoretically, would it be possible to build a soul-transfer machine to propel one's own mind into an animation software such as SFM or Blender and share their soul with an asset inside the software (AND keep the memories and consciousness).

If so, HOW could this be done?

Reminder, this is entirely theoretical. ☎️

So, my girlfriend is constantly getting harassed by family, and it's happening even more while they're currently on holiday in Poland. her sister does things like knocking over their luggage then ordering my girlfriend to pick them up, criticising her for biting her nails in nervousness, and taking photographs behind my girlfriend's back in order to share to her friends to laugh about her, and she also constantly ridicules her for being upset and often claims that mental health isn't a thing in order to make her feel worse. It might not seem like a big deal as a one off situation, but it happens DAILY, and this is really damaging her mental health. She's attempted overdose twice (was successful once and was temporarily hospitalised) because of things like this.

I don't really know how to assist her. Her parents aren't really the nicest and they often refuse to really do anything, but we obviously don't want to become violent as violence is very rarely the answer to non-violent actions.

In the Portal universe, is GLaDOS actually sentient or simply 'replicating sentience'. She has character development like an ordinary human, but one could argue that's simply because of how super advanced AIs might be able to replicate personality and replicate pain and replicate actually being able to grow and live. Is she actually sentient, or does she just pretend to be like all robots in OUR universe do?

So, me and my girlfriend are about to watch the film in cinemas (it's surprisingly still on in this cinema next to where we live). However, she's REALLY sensitive to gore.

At what moments is there gore? Is it ONLY where Clark gets eaten?

If there are other parts, what happens just before that (I'm not gonna try to remember time stamps cause it's disrespectful to be on your phone in cinema but I'll try to remember the events)?

Thank you so much.

I know this might sound REALLY RANDOM but this is important. Did Cave Johnson smoke cigarettes? Does he ever talk about it? Was he addicted?

What would a Reddit movie look like?

We had A Minecraft Movie. We've had Discord The Movie. We had the Facebook movie. We had The Roblox Movie. We've had (or are having) the Burger King video game. We've had the Youtuber mobile simulator game. We've also had a Chess movie (though it wasn't lore accurate).

But we've never had a Reddit movie. What would that look like?
