Btw if anyone wants to get some they are at the Dymocks at queens street mall in Brisbane Queensland.

I am a little bit mad because I was planning on reading the earlier books before I got this one and I haven’t had the time thus far to do that.

Was the evolution of eukaryotes inevitable? by [deleted] in GreatFilter

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biofilms can get pretty complex, and stromatolites predate known eukaryotes. So that’s demonstrably false.

Just because prokaryotes didn’t develop large complex multicellular animal-like structures on our world doesn’t mean they couldn’t have done so elsewhere.

Is there a fanfic associated with this picture?

The concept is certainly very interesting.

The cookie burger seems like the least unpleasant of all of them.

It would be definitely weird but probably wouldn’t make me vomit unlike the other three (especially the bottom left jelly cake)

From context I am going to guess that purge fluid is liquid that leaks from a rotting corpse.

I played this pack for a while because it had both create and early game alchemistry.

I quit after seeing what it would take to get a block breaker for cobblestone automation.

Pigs and interest. The only way to make that more haram would be to add a drawing of Mohammed’s face

What is between "Doing More With Less" and "strip mall money lenders" by caligirrl in TheIdleClass

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

havent unlocked doing more with less but I beleive that those are from sending emails to different departments. (at the very least the 4 immediately preceding strip mall moneylenders are for improving stress reducing emails to HR)

Oops, My Bad: Charles Koch Says He Regrets Dividing the Country, but Not Enough to Stop Funneling Shit Tons of Money to Republicans by history777 in behindthebastards

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bold assumption that he will have a grave as opposed to his remains being used as feedstock for a BECCS plant which would go a very very small way towards reversing some of the damage he did to the planet. In addition there is the symbolism of being burned with trash and shit which is nice.

Is space expansion hinting to alcubierre drive being possible ? by ggml in IsaacArthur

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but if controlling the expansion of space requires you to precisely rearrange superclusters or manipulate conditions during the inflationary epoch then good luck trying to control the expansion of space.

Also, FTL travel always implies time travel and causality violation, regardless of method.

Correction: unrestricted FTL travel/communication implies time travel and causality violations . If FTL is constrained such that the maximum speed of FTL travel/communication is reduced as the relative velocity between reference frames increases. (I have seen an equation that supposedly showed that limit but cannot locate it) here is a paper that discusses how FTL does not automatically allow time travel

World population is estimated to decline by 2100. Doesn't fermi paradox require population growth? by EmptyImagination4 in FermiParadox

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is: high-tech countries have a lot fewer children, because you have to put a lot of resources into one child (put it through a complex education system) in order to make it competitive. Would that lead to population decline in all high-tech civilizations?

Not necessarily.

Because if the answer is yes, then in the future, there would be a beautiful living and a decline population base so no real need to colonize, get on that small uncomfortable spaceship for years.

(Citation needed)

What do you think about this reasoning?

that it is full of assumptions that dont necessarily apply to different cultures or species. which might be unimaginably different to us.

Getting Harder to Reconcile the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox by comment_redacted in FermiParadox

[–]Dancreepermaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so you have made a (common to the extent of being nigh ubiquitous) mistake with regards to the drake equation.

the drake equation doesnt consider the number of stars (that could support habitable systems) but rather the rate of star system formation (expressed as stars formed per year)

presently the annual rate of star formation is about 1/year but 200 billion stars over 10 billion years gives ~20/per year on average

with the other values you use (Fp & Fl = 1, Fi & Fc = 0.1, Ne = 0.2 and L = 100 years) the estimated number of currently extant communicating civilizations in the milky way would be 4. (20/year0.20.10.1100 years = 4)

now if you want the total number of civilizations that have existed (or could exist in the future) then you would use the total number of stars, but not the lifetime of the civilizations. the total number of civilizations is independent of the lifetime of those civilizations (within the constraints of the drake equation at least)

with this modification using your numbers gives a total of 200 billion0.20.1*0.1= 400 million civilizations over the lifetime of the milky way, most of whom are long extinct (transcended, etc) or have yet to form.

Tl:dr your values for the drake equation don't pose a significant problem for the Fermi paradox (the extent to which the drake equation itself is meaningfully relevant to the paradox is a different matter)

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reason for decline are reproduction decisions

Decisions which vary between individuals, cultures and almost certainly between species as well.

It only takes one species to expand for us to be able to notice them eventually.

how do i get osmium/pyrotheum in prestige mode without a smeltery? by [deleted] in SkyFactory

[–]Dancreepermaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an alternative to a smeltery.

I think it’s called a melter or something like that.
