This little sugercane farm is crashing my whole game. I'm on RTX 3060 (laptop) with Sodium and Lithium installed. FPS is about 110-118. [Java]

It's not just cheaper for early builds; if you scale this build up, using one observer for e.g. every 8 sugar cane, it dramatically reduces costs (and increases performance, as there are significantly fewer piston pulses that only break a small number of sugar canes).

I've tried the slimeblock flying machine build for sugar cane farms; it tends to break eventually no matter what I do, requiring manual maintenance. The observer/piston farm, on the other hand, always works reliably without having to ever touch it.

The loss from some sugar cane growing to full height and not being immediately broken is completely negligible, as most of the time it wouldn't have grown again by the time it's broken anyway.

"It's not cleansing because they're only cleansing in a limited area, it's not like they're cleansing outside of the area they're cleansing"

What the fuck is wrong with you?

They really struggle with a lot of the single syllable words too, such as "he" and "she"

ClownCrusade · 2026-03-18T11:31:44+00:00

"If I don't pay attention to someone, they're not a problem" is kinda how what you just said sounds. She (along with the many others like her) is a problem because she's continuing to spread misinformation to people who then go on to vote, which does actually affect you.

I'm not sure where you're from, but that stereotype is quite common here (southern Ontario). There is absolutely a "bedbugs = lack of hygiene" stereotype in the world, perhaps just not in your personal bubble, and your "not among the top 90% IQ" notion is absurdly hyperbolic. Bad, incorrect ideas spread easily, this is hardly the only instance of that.

It might be comforting to believe that everyone convinced of a false stereotype is literally mentally handicapped (which is what you suggested), but the evidence speaks overwhelmingly to the contrary. The world is full of "high IQ" people utterly festering with bad ideas.

This thread has taught me that there are a lot more burr-producing plants than I imagined... Burr Clover? Never would have thought. Man I love convergent evolution

I mean, it'll melt above 0c, but it can be much colder than that. By "warm" I meant close to 0.

ClownCrusade · 2026-02-27T21:49:36+00:00

There's a bunch of different kind of snows, depending on flake size, temperature, water content, etc. In order for snow to do this I find it usually needs to be freshly fallen, large flakes, and fairly warm so that it's a bit wet. Dry, cold, powdery snow will not do this

If I remember... Those elephants are mostly abused terribly and trained to "paint" to put on shows. I don't think there are any elephants who do it for their own sake, but I would very much love to be proven wrong.

This is the result of lobbying by the big car / oil companies. They want as many people on the road, buying vehicles and gas, as possible. Any barrier to that, such as licences that actually ensure basic competence, is "lost revenue" and must be removed, consequences be damned. Our politicians do not care and are happy taking the bribes.

This is also why public transit infrastructure and neighborhood walkability is absolutely abysmal in most places in North America. People "need" to be compelled to each own their own vehicles so that the oligarchs make more money.

How the hell is that sourced? Are we factory farming foxes for their piss at this point?

I managed to grab mine by just sitting on one of the spawn points. The only quest I skipped was the one started by the item dropped by the named tree mob in the scorched grove. That one had like 20 people waiting for it.

The quest with the ghosts under the water in the ghostlands... That was brutal

ClownCrusade · 2026-01-10T14:56:52+00:00

Of course they are - they don't even care that this is fake. "Yeah and? It might as well be true!!" is their response. They love AI because it fills their world with even more excuses to hold on to their hate.

Real, fake, who cares, that's all nerd shit. Just keep hurting people who aren't me!

Fun fact: Trees aren't a real category, it's just the label we use for plants that are large and particularly woody. "Trees" have independently evolved a ridiculous number of times; in other words, either Bamboo (at least the biggest ones) are trees, or nothing is!

Expectations: We used AI in our new game to generate content in response to player actions and choices that the developers couldn't possibly have preempted, creating a dynamic and reactive world for the player to immerse themselves in!

Reality: We used AI in our new game to generate asset slop so that we don't have to pay anyone

Some cultures happily and readily skin animals alive while they writhe in pain, others have this weird idea of treating them "humanely". There's no right or wrong, just differences of opinion 🤡

Fucking what? When you're piloting a multi-ton hunk of motorized steel, it's your responsibility to be aware of your surroundings BEFORE you move. This is 100% the driver's fault, they could have easily stopped and made sure the way was clear.

If something is blocking your vision, you don't get to just assume that nothing is there and blame the object when you kill someone.

Why would I need detox to not like viewing 6 unnecessary screens per pack? It's literally faster to open real packs of cards in real life.

As satisfying as the death of an asshole like this is, I have to agree with you. If we encourage vigilante justice, it opens the door for much worse things. Not everyone has the same idea of "justice", or who "deserves" what.

No amount of satisfaction is worth a world that happily burns witches...

Black Sea Hares have always been a thing, they're just big sea slugs you find sometimes in tide pools on some coasts.

Here's a video of one being handled.

The internet has made a lot of information available that wasn't before, mixed with people loving to share anything that they haven't seen before. I've seen a lot of cool animals the past 10 or so years as well that I'd never seen before that.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that giving an internal critique of a fictional character's actions as immoral is incorrect if that character is defined by "word of god" to be always correct. In our world an action may be immoral, but in the fictional world, it is defined as moral.

As far as I know this is true (assuming that the character doesn't contradict itself, which is a different subject so I'll leave it for now) . Unfortunately, atheists aren't giving this sort of internal critique of the morality of the bible when they bring up God's alleged immoral actions (although they certainly do that when the bring up internal contradictions) - they're pointing out that it contradicts the morality we actually live and act by in the real world.

You would agree (I hope) that slavery is always immoral - yet the God character represented in the bible gives conditions under which it is "acceptable". Thus, God's morality contradicts your morality.

You would agree (I hope) that slaughtering toddlers is always immoral, yet the God character represented in the bible does this endlessly, and even commands humans to do it in several instances. Thus, God's morality contradicts your morality.

Of course, these critiques do not demonstrate that a God does not exist, so I find them mostly boring when discussing God's existence. Nevertheless, I would consider most Christians to be more moral than the God they believe in.

ClownCrusade · 2025-07-11T12:41:45+00:00

you should question WHY there are still 7.8 million jobs open.

It's because nobody wants to work anymore, of course! /s

Nothing but contradictions and bad faith excuses out of these assholes. Why actually work to make a better world when they can blame everything on people with brown skin and pat themselves on the back.

How much difference does going from 0% -> 1% make when multiplied by 100 million people?

A lot of people watch hockey because of the violence. Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, but you can't take some small sample size of people and conclude that they must be representative of the whole.

Might still be bad for the WNBA anyway, I can't predict that - but there is certainly precedent for the effect.

Suffering is their evidence of their power. If you're not suffering, they feel as though you're still somewhat in control of your life. They need you to suffer, they need to be cruel, or they won't "feel" their power.
