lol I’m not going to watch it

Thanks, that’s a good way of looking at it

I’m not quite sure what you mean by that, I wasn’t imposing ‘guidelines’ just pointing out that their argument against me was meaningless.

I post 1 AI image. People say to me ‘you shouldn’t do that because if everyone did that, it would be bad’. I respond by saying that their point is not wrong, but meaningless because we all know there’s no way everyone would do it here. I’m not imposing anything — it’s them that’s trying to impose on me by trying to tell me what not to post based on a fantasy scenario

Mine?

That’s true, myself included at times

Which side do you think is unreasonable?

True, very true. But do people really have to justify themselves with never-happening ‘if’ statements?

And that, peeps, is why I don’t believe in alchemy!

But… is that only because we’re accustomed to not seeing them in suits??? I wonder…

I’m not going to watch it

Have you ever wanted a green spectral pet bird

Erm… no. No, tbh.

That is interesting. Not sure exactly how it relates to the homunculus (unless people perceived the homunculus as trying to grow a perfect being, though I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that) but it’s certainly an interesting point about perceived perfection never changing and that’s what all them paintings symbolise.

Oh wow! I’ll definitely look into that, thanks!

That, plus I’m not an anime fan. Like, at all. Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you the first thing about anime.

True. I’m not 100% sure if that was the historical purpose of homunculus (or even what their purpose was other than to make one) but I guess it could be.

The fact that we live in a world full of robotics and other things we’ve made that do everything for us speaks volumes to your point though, I do have to say that.

I guess, in a legacy kind of way, we’re still working on that homunculus, just one made out of metal and plastic, numbers and code.

I’m not sure they’re ‘related’ per se. But they are certainly comparable (maybe the legends came from the same/similar sources maybe?) idk.

Possibly. I personally don’t watch (or even know the first thing about) anime, which probably doesn’t make it any more likely I’d even know I was looking at it, let alone see it in my searches

Actually, I first encountered the term on YouTube — one of them ‘mysterious YouTube videos’ compilations where someone had claimed to made one with a chicken egg or something. That’s what led me to research the topic. Also, I only used historical search terms like ‘homunculus alchemy’ or ‘homunculus history’ which might explain why I didn’t see it.

Ah. I haven’t seen it lol

Thanks for reading! That’s interesting about that game
