Life Points

A resource from the japanese playing card game Yu-Gi-Oh. They start at 800 and if they drop to zero you lose the duel.
Life Points can also be used for card costs and maintenance. Two card examples are Solemn Judgment (One-time payment of half of your current) and Imperial Order (700 LP per turn or the card is destroyed).
A few monsters' offensive and defensive stats are also dependant on LP. Two examples based on your own LP are Meklord Emperor Granel and the Dinomorphia monsters. One example taking the opponent's LP as attack is Endless Decay (when summoned, ATK = half of the opponent's LP).

Duelist A: I discard Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring to negate your Maxx "C".
Duelist B: Chain Link 2, I activate Solemn Judgment and pay the Life Point cost to negate your Ash Blossom.
Duelist A: Chain Link 3, I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit by paying 1000 Life Points to negate your Solemn Judgment.
Duelist B: Motherf... I don't have a response.

Wolf Point

Stab City. If you don't want to get stabbed, don't go into town after dark. Stay home and stay alive. If you want to stay alive don't get stabbed at the Water Hole #1

Wolf Point- If you drive from Glasgow to Williston don't stop in Stab City.

Man Points

Seriously guy, the social credit score I have completed fabricated within the confines of my retarded midget mind is REAL! It's REAL guys!

A midget who looks like a fairy "I got a man points!"

Hym 🤦 ♂️ *sigh* "Uh, yup. You sure do bud... You got all the... You got all the man points. That is a totally real thing."

Zero Point Energy

The holy grail of "free" energy, or the ultimate physics troll, depending on who you ask. It's the theoretical, lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system can have, even at absolute zero. This isn't empty vacuum; it's a seething foam of virtual particles popping in and out of existence. The dream is to somehow tap this boundless quantum froth for limitless power. The reality is it's likely impossible to harvest for useful work without breaking thermodynamics, making it the favorite buzzword of overconfident inventors and shady energy cons.

Example: "He claimed his device in the garage ran on zero point energy, pulling power from the quantum vacuum itself. Scientists called it a perpetual motion scam, but his YouTube comments section was convinced he'd Big Oil the whole industry."

Zero Point Energy Harnessing

The speculative practice of extracting usable work from the quantum vacuum's ground state energy. Unlike ZPE engineering, harnessing focuses on methods to tap into this energy, often portrayed as drawing limitless power from the seething foam of virtual particles. Proposed mechanisms often involve dynamic Casimir effects (moving mirrors in a vacuum to generate photons) or manipulating Van der Waals forces. In popular science and fiction, it's the hand-wavy power source for everything, despite physicists pointing out the vacuum state is the lowest possible energy; you can't milk the bottom of the well.

Example: "The UFO conspiracy guys swear the Tic-Tac crafts use zero point energy harnessing, with a quantum vacuum flux capacitor pulling free joules from empty space. Scientists sigh and explain you'd need to create a lower-energy vacuum below ground state first, which is like digging a hole in the bottom of the universe."

Zero Point Energy Engineering

A more rigorous (but still highly theoretical) approach that focuses on modifying the structure of the quantum vacuum to create energy differentials from which work can be extracted. Instead of simply "tapping" a static resource, this might involve creating regions with different zero-point energy densities—like generating a "false vacuum" bubble whose decay releases energy, or using metamaterials to alter vacuum fluctuations locally to produce a usable Casimir-like force. It's less about a magic battery and more about the precise, active manipulation of quantum field boundary conditions to generate propulsion or power.

Example: "The paper on zero point energy engineering proposed a 'vacuum differential drive'—using tightly wound spacetime geometries to create a gradient in quantum fluctuations, producing a net thrust. Peer reviewers called it 'beautiful, plausible, and about a Type II civilization's budget away from testable.'"

Hesitation point

A small indentation in a turd formed when it's creator momentarily hesitated pushing it out, causing the anus to contract leaving behind a mark.

That shit took so long there were like 3 hesitation points in it dude!
