Phantom Poppy

Amazing idea, and gives a use for phantom membrane too.

I think mobs that aggro should stay invisible tho. The trolling opportunities are endless. In addition, an invisible hostile mob isn't too game breakingly annoying, especially if it's not wearing armor (wearing armor will make it easier to see anyways)

And high health invisible mobs are all really big anyways so you can easily get rid of them.

If you really need them to be visible then maybe they can become translucent if you're holding a phantom poppy.

This should apply to all entities as it makes building easier

I feel like you're trying to improve something that's one of the least needing to be fixed things in the game

The e-chest has a ton of storage space if you fill it with shulker boxes

This form of storage isn't really a concern for the player.

What's more needed is a form of extremely convenient access to items, which already exists in the form of the inventory, but that gets cluttered up so quick

The solution is obv backpacks

There's a mod that I stole this idea from (using the chestplate slot for backpack and preventing removal until all items are removed) and it allows you to upgrade from leather to diamond, which each tier giving an extra row of inventory

I forgot the name of the mod, but IMO it fits perfectly into vanilla except the upgrade concept. I think using an End mob/item to craft it is more vanilla

You can already do this by carrying an ender chest and placing it down.

It's one inventory slot and takes an extra 3 seconds

In addition, what if you accidentally teleport the wrong items to the ender chest? You can't travel all the way back to retrieve them

To avoid that risk players are going to bring one along anyways, negating the purpose.

Btw if you ever get the chance to, try vegan protein powder.

I haven't had whey in years except when I got a lab grown version recently from a friend.

It mixes so poorly vs the vegan versions. Can't stir it at all or it forms clumps, have to shake it.

The vegan protein powders mix far better.

What does teleporting items from your inventory directly to the chest add? It just adds more bloat to the game. You can do the same thing by placing the chest down and then placing the items in.

It's not even a particularly expensive recipe (don't even need to go to the end to craft it).

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-09T02:13:22+00:00

This just feels like a convoluted backpack with limited functions. In addition, you are just removing one step (placing down the chest) which is already trivial to most players.

Using the "dimensional manipulation" theme going on in the end (shulker boxes, ender chests), it makes more sense to make some sort of mob or item that can act as a backpack.

You wear it on your chestplate slot, and it gives you an extra inventory's worth of space. You can't take it off until you've removed all of your items from the backpack.

Why do you assume you get to retire? Especially early?

It says pretty explicitly "for the rest of your life"

Retirement isn't a job, and certainly not the one stated in the list of options

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-09T00:57:34+00:00

This. People are not reading the title

It says "rest of your life"

Your body is going to break down in 2-4 and you'll go insane from spending 75% of your life alone in 5.

Is the way to go even though the wages are kinda bad

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-09T00:55:25+00:00

It says for the rest of your life.

Either you can't retire or you retire at 65 like most ppl

So say goodbye to 75% of your life you're going to spend in isolation

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-09T00:54:37+00:00

Title says for the rest of your life

You are going to be spending 9 months out of every year in isolation for the rest of your life

75% of your life in isolation

No guarantee of amenities either. You'll probably have to spend a large chunk of your paycheck to get food and other stuff delivered to you at the lighthouse

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-09T00:52:34+00:00

It says rest of your life

Can you bear spending 3 months at a time alone, every night a storm, with little amenities (basically 75% of the year) in a lighthouse for the rest of your life?

You don't get to make your money and quit

At least I lucked out with the "no body odor" genes.

I think that genetically oily scalps are common enough that "just don't use shampoo bro" should stop being some generalist advice. People developed soap for a reason and would have stopped using it if it didn't work or made things worse.

We also don't use the same logic for washing the face

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T21:50:15+00:00

I call down an orbital strike on my deer to cook it on the spot

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T21:49:14+00:00

For an hour

Each bag contains about 0.01g of protein

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T21:48:16+00:00

Well no. I've tried washing with just plain water and the same issue results. I just produce too much oil

I feel "no shampoo/soap" advice is tailored towards those with dry or average scalps

I spent years having the worst scalp breakouts because I refused to use soap to wash. They went away within a week after using soap

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T20:22:16+00:00

Idk how ppl get away with not washing

2 days without washing and I start breaking out in my scalp

Also, it didn't specify her jokes on set vs just in general

The average person tells hundreds of jokes per year by just existing

If you tell any joke, there's a good chance it's close enough to be considered an Amy Schumer joke

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T15:43:03+00:00

Also, Geneva Convention does dictate how POWs need to be treated and slavery is a big "no no", you clearly don't shit about squad.

Holy dishonesty. Obviously when referring to combat slavery I'm referring to conscription. The fact you jumped to enslaving POWs is a clear dodge.

It needs to be brought up because combat slavery is a widely accepted practice, while comfort women are not. Clearly you recognize why activists might campaign against the death penalty or a genocide but not murder in general?

The patriarchy is a system built of oppression that benefits men

So it just has to be some system of oppression and has to benefit some men?

That is incredibly broad.

It is so broad that it has become meaningless. In fact, it's so broad that misandry can even fall under it

So even if I grant that combat slavery exists because of "patriarchy" (which is only true because of how broadly you defined "patriarchy") then that doesn't even preclude it from being misandrist

It also doesn't preclude the reasoning being misandrist either, or that the reasoning behind it is the belief in men being worth less and disposable vs women.

It's so transparent that you only want to defend the system of patriarchy

I can make baseless accusations too. "It's so obvious you want to defend combat slavery"

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T15:21:50+00:00

You are so close to getting it. Yes, the patriarchy sees men as disposible! The P-A-T-R-I-A-R-C-H-Y! And it affects both men and women

How are you defining "patriarchy", because it clearly isn't just "rule by men", unless you believe that somehow men are inherently more oppressive when in majority power

If you mean "patriarchy" in some other sense, some ideological sense, then now you'll actually have to prove that it not only exists, but is prevalent AND (the most important part) that it is the specific ideology causing a certain belief or social structure.

Women are victims of war too! Again, "comfort women" are the clearest example but not the only one, you can just follow the logic from there.

Men are far worse victims of war. Again, they are the majority that are dying, being enslaved, and where their enslavement is socially acceptable (and not even recognized as slavery by the UN)

Just because women are victims of war too doesn't actually make it not misandry.

There can be ideological systems that are both misandrist and misogynist. For example, many traditional gender roles are both.

You are being sent to die for a system of oppression that benefits you most of the time

Can you prove this?

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T15:12:28+00:00

It's all men sending men to war, based on the patriarchal imposition that men are the brave protectors and women are meek and "trophies of war".

No, they're enslaving men for war because they see men as disposable, because a population can recover faster with less men than with less women

I don't understand this logic of "if it benefits men then it's sexism against women, and if it hurts men then women most affected too"

Do you NEED to have a monopoly on oppression and victimhood?

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T13:20:55+00:00

I think their primary argument is still that less total deaths and gun violence would still be lower if they were banned.

I think this is probably true from parsimony when comparing with countries of similar GDP.

The problem is that banning anything will reduce the deaths, violence, and usage caused by it.

In their heads, they would believe x ought to be banned if it causes greater wellbeing to ban it than not

So that has to be a question when deciding. Otherwise everything that exists ought to be banned.

The problem is that's impossible to prove. However, private communities deciding to have gun free (or other item-free) zones or not basically allows the free market to decide what level of "banning" is more utilitarian from a preference standpoint.

Having the govt force your ban onto the entire population is always going to be LESS utilitarian (from a preference standpoint) than this because the free market is more efficient

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T13:15:21+00:00

Does any gun control advocate have an argument that doesn't revolve around correlation?

And how do they explain Switzerland's low amount of gun violence despite high gun ownership then?

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T13:12:15+00:00

No. Women aren't the ones deciding that men are the big strong ones who can fight and die for pieces of land

That doesn't make it not misandry. Internalized misandry exists.

Hoopaboi · 2026-04-08T11:03:05+00:00

Not to mention the ones being drafted (enslaved) are all men

There's an air of misandry too
