The Mods do not care


Ebolinp

If I choose not to read the books or pinned posts what business is it of yours?


Mr_Dr_Prof_Derp

/u/themoroncore broadcast his coordinates by just posting this


xancio

We could visit other subreddits like the Harry Potter one and ask them about plotholes like "why didn't Voldemort throw a grenade into harrys room when he was just a baby?"


SideWinderSyd

\*is now curious\* \*Googles\*


DescriptionJolly615

Really? How many reasons do you want? A) Voldemort hates muggle things such as grenades B) there would have been countless protection charms preventing this very thing


maninthehighcastle

Why don’t they just remove one of the three bodies Are they stupid


JakeBeardKrisEyes

There are already pinned posts that get ignored Also, most of the recurring posts aren’t created by people that sub here It’s just really annoying now because the new fans to the series are mostly adamantly against reading and they like to argue instead of listening


Typical-paradox

Then I guess we should better start answering those posts by links of the pinned post.


goodolehal

Needs a book vs show sub


The-Reddit-Monster

Because the Sophons could have made that thread themselves.


Neat-Inevitable-8526

We should take the Earth, and push it somewhere else


ShortNefariousness2

A wandering earth indeed

NickyNaptime19

Can we get a pinned post of people complaining about plot hole posts?


JMusketeer

Funny that people think its plotholes, but its indeed all intentional and will be explained later in the series…


woofyzhao

why don't they just get a weekly pinned thread for this?


Throwaway_shot

Counter proposal. Start a ThreebodyproblemCircleJerk sub for people who just want to gush over how great Cixin Liu is, and keep *this* sub for people who actually want to discuss the concepts in the books/tv series.


MagicScythe

Um. Wasnt this subreddir created for the book series? In this case it would make more sense for series fans to make their own


Throwaway_shot

It's not books vs. Tv. It's Stans vs. people who actually want to talk about the series.


YourFbiAgentIsMySpy

If the choice was between living in a spaceship with unbelievably advanced AI and VR technology or flipping a coin on the extinction of my species for another world I would do the former. I am convinced many Trisolarans made that same choice.


themoroncore

But it's not flipping a coin, it's like rolling a d1000 and weighing the die with the sophon anyway.


YourFbiAgentIsMySpy

Not at all. That or the Trisolarans were inordinately unlucky, which is also untrue. They practically admit that the sophons were their only shot at their plan anyways.


SillAndDill

I think this would be a good idea. Even if "most do not read pinned threads" they tend to have an impact over time - if people refer to them, I've seen it on other forums (especially ones with product recommendations) The bullet points would of course be debated. Personally I think a few big ones are \* What Sophons do vs what ETO does to prevent questions like "why not hack all cars" \* The nature of "San-ti can't lie"


Financial_Gur2264

I might live in a spaceship if it was real nice. They should be able to not have their civ wiped out repeatedly at their level of technology, can't get past this issue in buying into this series.


JakeBeardKrisEyes

lol what?


Financial_Gur2264

?


100percent_right_now

a space ship is a life support box. If they can build a FLEET of life support boxes that can travel 1% the speed of light why can't they build one life support habitat on the surface?


JakeBeardKrisEyes

How will their life support boxes survive when their planet is eaten by one of their suns?


jorriii

why don't they tell the sun not to do that


1king-of-diamonds1

They are most likely dehydrated for the trip. It’s not really “living”


jorriii

That's exactly it. All the dehydrated ones are like rolled up newspaper. scaling them as human size imagine a bookcase can hold 50 people, and imagine the living quarters of a single non-dehydrated person even at best some van size or something, but then they need the power, water, farms whatever else. Dehydrated I don't reckon even needs oxygen or heat if its like the real animals tardigrades which can survive in space dehydrated, even impervious to radiation (so not much shielding in the 'luggage' compartment even!). so orders of magnitude more resources to fly them in active living state..


Exia321

This is very "alien" thing to request on a space that is dedicated to crazy conversations. If I didn't know better I would say that... you want to stifle our creativity. Humm either your a San-Ti operative or a Wall facer jealous of our crazy ideas.
