Legitimately tempted to search for random bullshit just to see if it'll show up, mainly because I have no shame. But then I might show up on some kind of watchlist, because that'd be my luck. Sounds like Vallo's saved from that kind of fun. Though seriously, consider me encouraged to just ask people when I have questions instead of putting out there on the network.

Just ask Jayce and Viktor, I put their giant nerd-brains to use as much as possible. In fact, I'll recommend them to all of you for similar use.

	Would that relieve your anxiety if you read there was a 5% chance of turning into a spider and giving birth to yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wouldn't! But if the possibility was real then I would take 5% chance versus a higher percentage? This conversation is painful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess here everyone has a 5% chance to turn into something horrifying if magic goes haywire? If you ever turn into a spider, I'll help you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't let me give birth to myself. That is a trauma not even therapy can assist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think the probability is higher or lower than 5% if you turn into a man-spider in multiple universes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd need more knowledge of the genetics and DNA of the man-spider to make a fully scientific guess? Is it a condition they were born with? Magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Let's say they developed a genetic mutation after getting bitten by a radioactive spider when they were a teenager, and this mutation gave them the abilities of a spider while still keeping their general human shape. What are the chances of the mutation progressing again later on in life and turning them into a man-spider?

And then let's say there was a supervillain who injected them with another mutagen that turned them into an actual spider and then somehow they got pregnant and erupted from themselves with all new powers?

What are we thinking? Like... 25%? 30?

Uh ~~What is thi~~ ~~Is this an actual scen~~ I'd say the odds are never zero, but I wouldn't consider them that high. Mutating abilities is always possible, but typically there's some kind of trigger. I'd say the chance of it happening with nothing prompting it would be lower than 5%, but that doesn't factor in the abnormalities of a multi-verse, which is nearly impossible to predict.

	[...] So let's say this was someone, that probably means they're not growing six more eyes right now as they speak? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh, no, probably not, unless someone cursed them or something was going on outside of normal circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent)
