What? If you're trying to get back at me because I was being useless and just "first posting", it's a reference to 269: TCMP, and I also, by the way, wrote the whole first paragraph of this explanation. RadiantRainwing (talk) 02:50, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Alright, sorry, just realized what you did is a reference to 493: Actuarial. Sorry about that! RadiantRainwing (talk) 02:53, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Larry Niven had a story about alien-made indestructible spaceship hulls, except the makers didn't account for tidal effects when grazing a star. The test pilot was nearly ripped apart, but figured a way to survive. He sued their butts off against the guarantee. He concluded that their home planet did not have a large moon, a Clue. --PRR (talk) 02:41, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

I think I finally figured out the common thread. All the items here are here because they are elements of Life on Earth. The way the explanation was written kind of buried that important part of the comic.

Overall, if you just look at them as unrelated phenomena, then Lightning seems quite common. Islands made by microskeletons, and life-forms which change their form during development seem like they would be pretty common where there is life. Large tides - thought to be uncommon, but don't have much data, and models are hard. 2600:387:4:803:0:0:0:A0 18:04, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
