The tale of a self-destructive reality

Long long ago, before the dawn of time and space, a being of unfathomable scale and power took its last breath, its limp body sinking through the surrounding void, veins bleeding time and body rotting into universes, but some universes were made of flesh that wasn't so decayed, that was fresh enough that it still had some of that infinite power that every primordial scavenger sought to harness, and harness they did, creating vast inter-universal empires headed by warlords wielding god-like power, who hoarded their territories like raccoons, if raccoons were so inclined to hold territory, but some raccoons are more ambitious than others, and warlords were no different, as one of them, Ygadle, had a scheme, by using their near-infinite power, they could repurpose one of their universes into a device known as the Eternity Engine, a hyperspherical construct, quadrillions of light years in diameter, with the capability of pumping the temporal blood back into the corpse from which all reality grew, and in doing so, reversing the flow of time itself, allowing the warlord to revitalize the putrid remains and harness even more of the god-being's energy to conquer reality, but there was just one issue: every other warlord knew about the Eternity Engine, and so every faction came down on Ygadle in a war lasting billions of years, where soldiers died by the trillions for only an inch of progress, but even after Ygadle and their forces were long gone, the other warlords fought over control of the device, extending the war into uncountable epochs, until finally, the last warlord, Glthmir, stood triumphant as the sole, all-powerful dictator of existence, but as the Eternity Engine was built to provide an advantage in the turf war, and Glthmir was already the most powerful being alive, any additional power granted by the Eternity Engine would be superfluous, but an unquenchable lust for ever more power drove Glthmir to activate it anyway, as everyone in existence watched with awe that swiftly turned to horror as the Eternity Engine worked too well, the flesh of the corpse became too revitalized, and shook the foundation of reality as the god-being, whose death facilitated the continued existence of all this new life, arose once more and carried on its way, completely oblivious to all the history, civilization, and lives that were lost by its reawakening.

The Real Killer Whale Was the Friends We Made Along the Way.

     1: Morality is a mostly human-made invention to categorize actions and behaviors of other humans as either desirable (good) or undesirable (bad). Morality is not a binary, obviously there's a lot of grey area, in fact, most of it is grey-area, but my larger point is that ascribing it to stuff that isn't human gets messy. Is a lion "bad" for eating an elk? Is water "good" for hydrating us? Is lightning "a douche" for turning my hotdog into ash? The answer to all of these is, probably, no.      This was a longwinded way of saying that I don't think Tilikum was the villain in this situation. Were they the victim? Broadly speaking, yes. SeaWorld, famously, is a factory for marine-mammal misery, and if the article is anything to go by, Sealand was basically the equivalent of orca hell, “If you pen killer whales in a small steel tank, you are imposing an extreme level of sensory deprivation on them,” .     The villain of this story, in my op...

Did I find THE best sources for my topic? Realistically, no.

     Here are the two sources I selected for this discussion:     1:  https://www.space.com/15830-light-speed.html     2:  https://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-the-monty-hall-problem/      Now, let's go through the CARS for each of them.     The speed of light one doesn't fail the credibility check, but it doesn't exactly pass it, either. The author is not anonymous, and has a background in science, but it's ecology, not physics. The Monty Hall one, I think, fails the credibility check, as I could not find an author.     Both are fairly accurate, the Monty Hall one even having a minigame where you yourself play through the scenario. The light-speed one was posted only one year ago, though the Monty Hall one was posted six years ago (though, I don't think fundamental aspects of statistics tend to change over time).      Both are also reliable, being internally consistent, and spea...

Haha wow pandemics seem pretty scary, good thing one of THOSE has never happened.......

     I wouldn't exactly call dystopia a "trending" genre, they've been around for quite awhile. I've read most of hunger games, as well as one and a half books from the maze runner series. Brain scientists seem to attribute the popularity to the developing brain, specifically the rise of emotional complexity/exploration.     Looks to be about some sort of flu that wipes out practically everyone.     My best guess is that the "The bright side of the planet moves towards darkness" line connects to how dystopias are often set in the future? I have no idea what "There is too much world" could mean, it sounds like the person wants  the world to end, but that doesn't really fit with dystopia since that word has a negative connotation. If they want the world to end, and then the world ends, it would be a utopia (for them, at least.)     As I write this, I'm on page 6. My main thought right now is how bad plastic snow would be for your long-ter...
