big fan of how classic who doctors are like "i will defeat this opponent with my intellect and skills" and then they beat the shit out of said opponent

The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

ignore the terrible quality but this has been plauging me for a good while. is the lightbulb just really big, or is it normal sized and karate joe is just really small. i thought the latter option was funnier so i did some very approximate math to see how tall he would be compared to the lightbulb

to make a long story short, using the lightbulb as a unit of measurement, he is smaller than a newborn child.

rough explanation under read more

my first step was to find out what size the lightbulb would be if i were to use it as a unit of measurement. since i didn’t feel like getting too specific of what lightbulb it is (remember, this is very approximate and mostly done for goofs), i did some research and then calculated the average length of a standard A19 bulb, and i ended up with 4.1 inches.

after that, i used ibispaint to trace the lightbulb and stack them until they reached joe’s height, and it got up to 3 1/4 lightbulbs. 4.1 x 3.25 = 13.325 which would equal 1 foot & 1.325 inches (or just 1’1”) or 0.33 meters (when rounded to the nearest hundredth)

so there you have it. if the lightbulb was regular sized in the above image, karate joe would be super tiny. if i used different units of measurement i’d get very different results but the lightbulb was funny to me so i only did that. if anyone else wants to try and calculate more accurately go ahead. i am not a math expert so this was mostly done for the sillies

children portrayed in video games is always so strange to see.. it's always just a smidge off. they so rarely seem like they would gleefully beat the shit out of you if given half the chance. thinking about the tiefling kids you meet practicing swordplay mostly - the fact that not one of them tries to hit you with their fake weaponry is a travesty of immersion-breaking proportions

I will never understand how I manage to have anxiety about things like making a phone call or respond in group chats but still be ready to verbally curse out someone when I'm angry about something I care about... also it's been too long since I've had a debate about politics with people irl I should really have another verbal fight with someone just to release stress lmao

this week is SOOO heavy i’m going to lose my mind

[squireofgeekdom]

catch me grumbling because i know full bloody well even the six tabs and fifteen minutes of googling i’m doing for fanfic for this daft show is more injury research than the writers on the show ever did and yet. i don’t stop myself.

please know that however much dull first aid detail there is in this fic when it’s finished: it’s like half a page less than it used to be. it could be worse.
