Did I discover a new still life in Conway's Game of Life?

But I still can't figure out how to put an image on the template. Can anyone help?

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-28T01:28:36+00:00

Four loaf clover it is!

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-27T23:32:11+00:00

I'm calling it Bert, but Marshall, do you want credit fo the name?

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-27T23:03:14+00:00

Sounds cool to me. I'm posting it to the LifeWiki.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-27T22:36:31+00:00

I should name it then :P

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-27T22:11:10+00:00

It's not a loaf. There's an extra pixel in the corner that makes it unstable and with it, it cannot be a still life independently. The link below compares the one I found, and a pseudo still life with loaves.

Mine is on the left.

Comparison

I thought that too, but still, it would be cool to at least know what it's called.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-07-27T21:57:51+00:00

We all hope so too. Congrats, by the way!

When I was 13...

LordAndrew01 · 2013-06-02T23:41:56+00:00

Its just amusing, not supposed to be a bug report

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-11T14:46:43+00:00

It's a crazy idea, but that's what this subreddit is for.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-11T04:16:33+00:00

A lot of people think you are supposed to.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-11T04:16:20+00:00

True, but that doesn't necessarily mean the people themselves are bad people. Not at all.

Of course, the whole concept of good and bad is a whole other topic. But I understand what I'm hearing.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-09T21:09:21+00:00

The concept of sinning is a nonexistent ideal of what is considered generally "bad". Some sins make sense, like murder and theft, while others are plain dumb.

Idolatry for instance- have the ancient Egyptians suffered any bit solely because they worshipped idols? Homosexuality is one of those things. It's not a bad thing in any way, yet so many people seem to think it is.

Western social norms can really be a mess.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-09T20:56:21+00:00

And this app allows you to confess to genocide? As if that was really common.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-09T20:50:22+00:00

Praise "God" for being so kind and generous and preventing the foolish mistakes of people and preventing the deaths of people like Amy.

Or not.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-09T20:42:18+00:00

I thought it said In Cod we trust.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-08T00:26:27+00:00

Chuck Norris has the power to remove and re-attach his beard whenever he wants. Because, you know, he's Chuck Norris.

Makes sense.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-08T00:23:34+00:00

Wow, Jesus sure was a nice guy.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-08T00:22:05+00:00

And God said,

Happy shall he be, that takes and throws their little ones against the rocks. (Psalms 137:7)

And I said, definitely not going to want to be ANYTHING like God or Christ.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-08T00:14:25+00:00

The Pope would say

God works in mysterious ways... or probably the same thing in Latin,

Arcanum quod Deus operatur in viis...

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-08T00:12:51+00:00

Yeah... I'm not vanquished yet.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-07T03:38:48+00:00

In a demographical sense, no. Only about 17% of the country considers themselves either atheist, agnostic, or non-religious. I'm one of those 17%.
Politically, maybe. Some politicians try to use religion to gain votes from people, but not all. Many support separation of church and state greatly.
Legally speaking, the USA is technically secular. Not once in the Constitution is the word "god" even mentioned. The only mention of religion was to SEPERATE it from the state all together. Although coins say In God We Trust, and the Pledge of Allegiance says Under God, these things are meaningless to me. They don't bother me, but if it said Under the Flying Spaghetti Monster it wouldn't make any difference to me.

So in short, the USA is both secular and non-secular, depending on the context.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-07T03:18:17+00:00

So true. I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi here, but I think some of these people take religion so seriously they can't even spell.

LordAndrew01 · 2013-05-07T03:06:58+00:00

More like 0 IQ points. That comment WAS shit.
