Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

@#8046 oh ok, yeah I guess that actually makes sense in the long run, in fact I think I saw you talking about having it at the very top in Discord, that way people see not only the question but also the tag for it right away do they know heat they're looking at. (more) |

@#8046 hm ok so it's like when it comes to questions about something admittedly fictional but not necessarily worldbuilding, yeah that could work just as well as exploration, cause I'll be honest I'm a curious nerd with a bunch of questions so just asking questions to satisfy nerdy curiosity without ...

@#53890 oh no I think I get it maybe that's another thing I did wrong, either way I appreciate your help and input it'll definitely help out in the future when making tags (more) |

@#53890 Originally it seemed like when I tried to use technology there wasn't an already existing category for it for some reason and originally wouldn't let me create it, not for some reason it'd fine so I really don't know the story. I also typed up tags such as cybernetics, science fiction, etc, n... (more) |

@#53890 yeah honestly I do see your point, it's just with my case I just wanted to know what the appropriate tag was and first time around I was allowed to use technology or science fiction as a tag, don't know why technology was ok this time but still. If you think these tags are appropriate then go... (more) |

I like the idea, since sometimes people are just curious about certain ideas and would like an answer. Problem is with certain questions is the internet only has many answers, but through this site people can get input by actual people who may know something about the subject in terms of science, phi...

| Answer | — |
A: How can Worldbuilding successfully support creative exploration? I've been on thise site for a couple months now and what I like about it is that it's very flexible. I used to be on stack exchange and after seeing the difference between the two sites I can see why people leave it for codidact; stack exchange is designed for topics with clear almost definitive answ...

Yeah a sandbox to practice wouldn't be a terrible idea, especially since it would allow the person asking the question to really think on how they want to ask their question and how it looks and maybe get some feedback. In terms of the "handling" you do have a point that sometimes rather than telling... (more) |

| Question | — |
What would be the potential of cellular cybernetics and it be more or less practical than nanoscopic robotics So as I was thinking about characterizations I started thinking about cybernetics, and I started to wonder about the concept of cellular cybernetics and what the possibilities of such technology would be. Now I know basic stuff such as maybe being able to regenerate and possibly form machines but tha... (more) |

Ok so basically again it wouldn't really work that well ok, yeah I'm mainly just asking what happens when an object emits high frequency vibrations underwater since I know you can't exactly shake water and I looked online but found no real answers since everyone seems to say different things. Also I ... (more) |

| Question | — |
If someone had vibration based superpowers how would their powers react underwater I had an idea for a character who can emit very powerful vibrations. As I thought about the possibility of how this character's vibration powers would work I eventually started to wonder how would affect water let alone react while underwater. For a better idea let's say he's submerged in either a bo... (more) |

Ok so it's not just a simple matter of having vibrations hit a rock at certain frequencies but also a matter of mass of the rock in question and the rock won't be able to process the vibrations in any other way other than being heated up (I know I'm probably butchering what your saying but still). Al... (more) |

| Question | — |
How many megahertz of vibrations would it take to Shatter solid rock Backstory: I had an idea of someone who can generate powerful vibrations that can either be used to amplify physical attacks or fire these vibrations in a direct oscillating stream for ranged attacks. In addition he has superhuman durability so his own vibrations don't kill him, but his main trait... (more) |

Hm alright yeah I think I can see that, yeah thank you that was very useful and informative. So basically they could theoretically work so long as the person uses them "correctly" for a lack of better words. Like if they want to go a little bit fast and determine grab they adjust and when they want t... (more) |

| Question | — |
Could a winged humanoid with two sets of wing types (one set on the back and one set on the arms) function properly So, I've been experimenting with this idea of someone with the power of winged flight. The details about said character I haven't fully figured out and might not make. That said, I have a basic idea on the main attributes of the character, which is winged flight. The concept is that the character wou... (more) |

@#8176 you do have a point, yes sites like these should be free of judgement and sometimes a story having a darker grittier tone might be the purpose to not only hit readers down to their core and even expose them to certain subjects that probably should be discussed and if a question is uncomfortabl...

Hm ok so basically it's just a touchy subject, ok fair enough, alright and yeah I'll take in the advice that about modifying the title like "in science fiction setting".

Hm ok fair enough. Honestly this why I like this site more than stack exchange because over there I would've had my question shut down almost right away but on this it's a lot more liberating and creatively open, in anycase I will look into it and then go from there, like I said I'm just a nerd who h...

Ok so even though the question itself isn't terrible per say, it's not only a mess but also isn't ok because it's more of a real world issue..so should I make changes to it or just delete altogether, honestly I was mostly just asking out of genuine nerdy curiosity, especially since I recently rewatch...
