LittleMe Jewell Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Almost everything that broke Mon morning is still broke and now my production server is down so I cannot even continue trying to fix things And the forums are darn near dead as well, so nothing here to amuse me. I'll just try to shock a bit of life back into this thread Edited August 11, 2017 by LittleMe Jewell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 OK ... maybe something that won't get ****ed What would be the coolest animal to scale up to the size of a horse? How about scaled down to the size of a cat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ummmmmm - NVM Scaling up - I'll have to think on that one Scaling down - I want a Koala bear or a Panda bear to be cat sized to be a pet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is harder. I like the proportions of baby animals, many of which would already be the size of cats. As they grow, I lose interest. Adult pandas look and act like babies, so maybe that would work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would love to have an elephant small enough to sit in my lap. Ooo, or an Orca that would fit in an aquarium. Scaling up ... I want a butterfly the size of a horse. With a saddle. And a parachute ... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Scaling is an interesting thing. The way we imagine it is not the way it works. The mass of a thing increases as the cube of it's "size". The strength of a thing increases as the square. This is why grease ants can carry away bits of Tostitos (their favorite food, as determined by my childhood experiments) ten times their size and I can't. Mass grows faster than strength. That's what limits the size of living creatures. The scaling of motion works the same way. Doubling speed quadruples inertia and drag (drag is complicated, but that's about right). Your shrunken Orca would move very much like koi in a garden pond. Your elephant would freak you out with the rapid twitching of its trunk. My enlarged bacterium would collapse and burst like a giant water balloon long before it could spin its flagellum. And this is the beauty of SL, a place in which the laws of physics may be cheerfully ignored. Rhonda, would you mind scaling up your butterfly enough so that Iva can sit in the driver's saddle and take the rest of us on a busman's holiday?

It's non-oily and so doesn't collect sawdust in the trunnions of my table saw. Nor does it stain wood passing over the top. There is much to be said for this. I was once told that WD-40 and Duct tape will handle everything. If it moves and shouldn't, apply the tape. If it should move and doesn't, use the lubricant.
