star wars - Do Hutts find humanoid females attractive, and if so why?


Jabba the Hutt kept scantily clad humanoid slaves. Jabba even tried to kiss Leia. But IIRC Hutts are hermaphrodites and of course should by all biological reasoning not be attracted to creatures of a specific sex (don't recall sexy dudes hanging around) with radically different body design.


So do Hutts find humanoid females hot, and if so why?


Or do they just do this for status and to show off to the largely humanoid populations that surround them?



Answer



Jabba's affection for "dancing girls" is not common to all Hutts. Jabba is a specific Hutt who took pleasure in surrounding himself with bikini-clad dancing girls, but not necessarily the only one.


From The Hutt Gambit:



But Aruk was not one of those sybaritic Hutts who relished the pleasures of the flesh. True, he was a gourmet, and often a gourmand, but he didn't maintain entire palaces filled with slaves to cater to his slightest--or most perverse--whim, the way some Hutts did.


Aruk had heard that Jiliac's nephew, Jabba, kept several female dancing humanoids--humanoids, of all things!--on leashes near him at all times.



Aruk considered such indulgences distasteful and extravagant. The Desilijic clan had always had a weakness for fleshly pleasures.


Jiliac's taste was better than Jabba's, but he enjoyed hedonistic excess just as much as his nephew.



Since Star Wars in general is PG to PG-13, I doubt you will find out any information about any explicit sexual behavior the dancing girls are subjected to. Jabba's bikini-clad harem are almost always referred to as "dancing girls".


In Rebel Dawn, Jabba admires a woman's figure, but there is not anything explicitly sexual in the admiration. His feelings could be closer to how someone might want to dress up a cat or dog:



Jabba watched [Bria Tharen] as she walked away, and found himself thinking that's she'd look magnificent in a dancing girl's costume. All that reddish hair spilling down her bare shoulders. Nicely muscled shoulders. This human was fit, exquisitely so, and her height was impressive. What a dancing girl she'd make!



Other characters in the EU have impressions of what the dancing girls mean to Jabba.


For example, Dengar in The Mandalorian Armor:




Dengar could barely recognize her. He remembered her from Jabba's palace; she had been one of the obese Hutt's troupe of dancing girls. Jabba had liked pretty things, regarding them as exquisite delicacies for his senses, like the wriggling food he'd stuffed down his capacious gullet. And just as with those squirming tidbits, Jabba had savored the death of the young and beautiful.



And Porcellus in Tales from Jabba's Palace:



Porcellus had never learned exactly what Jabba did with his "pets," usually female but always young, lithe, and beautiful but he knew they seldom lasted long and he'd heard some truly horrible tales from his friend and fellow slave Yarna the Askajian.


At the moment, however, all the Hutt did was scoop up a fingerful of the vegetable-crepe stuffing and hold it out to her, and after a moment, with visible distaste, Oola licked the subtly flavored concoction from his slimy hand.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

harry potter - What is the difference between Diffindo and Sectumsempra?

In the Harry Potter books, Diffindo is called the 'Severing Charm' and it’s most commonly used to cut ropes and the like. However, in the last book Hermione uses it on Ron but misses, creating a 'slash in his jeans' and his knee gets cut, causing him to 'roar in pain'. We've only seen Sectumsempra used once on screen when Harry directly uses it on Malfoy in the sixth book, but there it's mentioned that he is 'waving his wand wildly'. Wouldn't Diffindo, if used in such a fashion also cause a similar effect? Similarly, if it was able to cut Ron, it would also be able to, say, chop off an ear (George's)? In that case, how are these two spells different, except for Sectumsempra seemingly used exclusively to hurt humans? Answer While Diffindo and Sectumsempra both can be countered by other spells, Diffindo is far more easily countered. Reparo, a relatively common spell, can completely reverse its effect when used once. “He pulled the old cop...
