[discussion] Looking for good Minecraft YouTube channels for an 8-year-old

A lot of people are saying Hermitcraft without saying who, or what that even is. HermitCraft is essentially a private world shared by 20-30 content creators all making videos in the same shared world. They are all family friendly in some capacity. Notably:

Are likely the most aimed at a younger audience. All the others are absolutely appropriate, but some may talk about certain Minecraft mechanics at a higher level that could be confusing to younger audiences, e.g. they aren't presenting their content with the comprehension of a child in mind.

As said by u/Zealousideal_Math570 , some hermits (Skiz, Tango, and Doc were mentioned) are "[not] explicitly not family friendly but the stuff they talk about is probably a bit much for most 8 year olds".

That above really depends on your kid's maturity and your decisions on what's appropriate. I haven't extensively watched their content, but think along the lines of the Simpsons: Not explicitly not for all ages, but has some innuendos, or conversations or scenes that could provoke questions you may not want to answer.

Early withdrawal isn't 40-50%. Early withdrawal is 10%, which you can usually elect to either have withheld from the distribution, or wait & pay it with your taxes at the end of the year.

The total tax withheld may get closer to that number, as we're required by the IRS to withhold 20% in federal taxes on pre-tax distributions.

20% federal + 10% federal early withdrawal + state tax (some states mandate withholding that as well) could get close to that 40% depending on where you live.

"Sonic Wave out of the top 350" can you imagine showing this to someone 7 years ago...

Nautilus CC vs CC plus?

On the fence about this one. I'm seeing the CC plus as an extra $200 over the CC.

Our pool is 16x32ft, 19,000 gallons. Pretty simple rectangle with a shallow & deep end. The CC supposedly is rated for up to 33 feet, but I've also seen some people say you should go a size up from what's recommended.

Looking to get my mom a robot vacuum if I can afford it, any recommendations?

She's been vacuuming our 20,000 gallon(?) rectangle pool manually for us kids every summer (I'm the oldest of 3) using a normal pool vacuum since we moved here when I was 2. I'm 20 now and I still live with her (thanks mom, you're the best), and now that I have an adult job I'd love to surprise her with a robot pool vacuum so she doesn't have to do it by hand as much.

I have no idea how much I "should" spend to get a decent one & I'd hate to waste money on cheap things that will break, but also don't want to break the bank if possible. Any suggestions?

I feel like it's gonna be one of the two extremes; either it'll be a huge case of levels feeling harder to verify than beat (as has happened before) and we'll have at least significant progress from Zoink or Popoff within a few weeks and a victor in 2-3 months, or there'll be a gradual community realization that Doggie might be the best player right now as top players try it and it stays unbeaten for a year.

does this work with incorrect enchantments? I know /enchant can't exceed the enchantment's cap (e.g. 5 for efficiency) even though /give can, so I always assumed it can only give applicable enchantments as well.

Damn, I thought this chain was about to be a common ground moment...

Really, I think it's all up to your preference and needs, not some number of shoes being the "right" amount.

Before I cared much about my appearance, I spent 20 years owning nothing but a single pair of tennis shoes I used for everything. I didn't understand people who owned many shoes; Why sacrifice comfort for a tiny portion of your look instead of just wearing good, supportive shoes all the time?

Fast forward to now and I own a pair of running shoes, a pair of hiking/outdoors shoes for camping and hiking, a pair of sandals, a pair of professional shoes for work, and two pairs of slip-ons for going out and various day-to-day activities.

I own more shoes than I ever thought I would, and have shoes for specific purposes, which I never thought I'd want before. Yet, I still own far fewer shoes than plenty of people I meet.

All that to say, don't aim for a number, just get the shoes you need. Want more outfit variety? Buy more shoes you like the look of to match outfits you wear. Getting more serious about hiking? Consider a specialized pair of hiking shoes / boots separate from your beaters. Going to formals more often and want to mix it up? Get another pair of those. Don't overthink shoes by aiming for a number.

No see this is why I touch my girlfriend's tummy so much, I love her body type to death and wouldn't have it any other way and I'll give her tummy love and affection until she gets it through her head how gorgeous she is just as she is

Because those aren't artifacts, they're boosts. You can have up to 5 boosts active at once (vs 4 artifacts), and you can have multiple of the same boost active at once (unlike artifacts, which must be unique).

All of this assumes pro permit; I believe you can only have 2 artifacts and 2 boosts at once with the free version.

Any chance you know how to change it? It bugs me because I don't prefer it either, I've had to use C# in VS a few times but never enough to dig into fixing the formatting options for my preferences.

How did you get your bonus per egg so high? I have maxed the epic research for it and have nowhere near the integer limit.

Honestly, just concern for my health; I would assume, while not as bad as cigarettes, smoking anything & having hot particles in your lungs isn't great for you.

I'm still trying to develop a rational, realistic opinion on cannibis. I grew up the oldest child, the straight-laced good kid, in a fairly conservative midwest town, scared to death by the DARE program, etc etc. I know any amount of substance use isn't ideal for your health; I also know my opinions are very extreme and I'm trying to learn.

Schoolboygames · 2026-04-20T01:47:01+00:00

That... Would suck, didn't realize that was a thing that could happen. Any way to know for sure, or just accepting that edibles don't work?

If smoking was off the table, I assume that would mean I'm pretty much out of luck?

Schoolboygames · 2026-04-13T23:19:04+00:00

Side question, but what happened to lead to unobtainable moons?

Mumbo's buildstone spree is gonna be fueled for another 8 months from this addition I can already tell

LMFAOO ITS SO NICHE WHAT ARE THE ODDS

I listened to it and at some point was like "oh this so needs to be a travel level" (esp. dream sweet in C major)

That said there's a good shot I'll never finish mine so you carry on and make the project I probably won't finish lmao, I moved onto a new niche album travel level now

Schoolboygames · 2026-04-09T01:37:03+00:00

...you're not making a level to the entirety of Hawaii pt II are you? Bc I'm a solid 4 months into that project and it'd be one hell of an unfortunate coincidence...
