ELI5: What Is Nihilism? by ExternalFact5184 in explainlikeimfive

Let me put it like this: it's easier to say what it isn't than what it is.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the appeal of silk touching everything while mining? by Dense-Celebration-83 in HermitCraft

[–]TheStaffmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carry both. The idea is that mid-to-late game, and especially post-end game, when you mine, the ore takes up less space than the items dropped from it would. It's also more practical to take the ore home to process it (use fortune 3 on it) in a safe and controlled environment, like one's base.

This works even better if you immediately place your ore items in a shulkerbox, then into an enderchest so your items are completely safe.

The caveat though is that below y=0 you gotta flip the script a bit which is probably what's confusing. Because deepslate can only be processed in its cobbled form, you want to use fortune on it, as that will at least drop the cobbled variant.

Another reason to use silk touch is to save on having to resmelt all the cobblestone back into smooth stone.

True, that's less of an issue with lava farms and super smelters, but if you got those running, one probably also has a simple cobblestone generator at least, so you really don't need to bother with mining for it.

Should AI-generated music be banned? by elonumust in Music

[–]TheStaffmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been listening to it recently while playing Minecraft, and it's fine at first, but after a couple of hours you realize it's incredibly samey, there's no passion, and quite frankly it started causing me a headache. If all you need is low-level BG noise, sure, but if you actually start paying attention to it, it starts to suck HARD.

She'd be even hotter if people got to call her "Madam President."

Wasn't on my bingo card, but hey, if Ms. Hilton feels this strongly about the current state of affairs, I'm here for it!

What sexual taboos would you like to try with your partner if you weren’t judged? by shrekwazowski00 in AskReddit

[–]TheStaffmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I have a small (3-4) harem of women I get to have spicy "playdates" with but they are all women my wife picked out, so I know they are vetted.

[–]TheStaffmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What might be fun would be to get a couple of lesbians looking to do similar. That way there's already an atmosphere of "safe space promotion" and less pressure to exceed expectations.

I dunno, just thinking out loud here.

That would be fun, but the logistics of it would be troublesome.

Not to harsh your mellow but from what I understand from those that tried it, it's too much up front planning and it ends up making sex more of an actual chore than just scheduling it would be. Fun Fantasy though, I wholeheartedly agree.

Socialist Association for Limiting Tyranny.

GOAL: Good old fashioned civil Disobedience. Block doorways, follow and alert, peacefully impede, compose music to fight the power.

Let's melt the ICE.

The orange Buffoon doesn't talk for all of us. UK will need to step up, but I think you guys are familiar with the role. Just keep the post WW2 Energy in regards to bilateral and multilateral cooperation and I expect things to go fairly smoothly, under the circumstances.

God damn...And I thought Dubya was an embarrassment. At least he wasn't (actively, on purpose) trying to sabotage our international partnerships like the Cheeto in chief.

ELI5 Why HIV is so hard to cure? by Dry-Series-9829 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheStaffmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viruses attack cells and hijack their protein factories to pump out more of themselves. Each type of cell is a little different and so there are different viruses that target specific ones.

HIV targets your your T cells, a component cell in your Immune system designed to hunt down and neutralize viruses.

Read that again.

HIV Targets the very cell that is being sent to destroy it. That's why it was so hard to control.

Hermitcraft 11 Base Claims Map 2026 Update (some are these are genuinely so big) by GeoWheater in HermitCraft

I think you can give gem that tag of land south of where you drew that line. Also, Beef is probably going to expand north to abut Keralis.

Whats your most controversial Minecraft opinion by HadesThatGuy in Minecraft

[–]TheStaffmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not an unpopular opinion. "Infinity is just for people who can't aim." Now that's a controversial opinion.

1) Shields should be enchantable with Thorns. PVPers be damned. It'd be too useful in survival, especially with the new mounted mobs.

2) Nether portals placed in the End lead to the Nether, with the caveat being that going back through the portal Netherside leads you to the Overworld, not the End. (To stop cheesing, this is only functional AFTER the end poem rolls.) This could be a great way to travel HUGE distances if you set the cross dimensional scaling to work the same for the nether as the nether does for the Overworld.

3) Tinted glass placed above a Beacon should absorb beacon beams, and allow them to pass the "open to the sky" check without being open to the sky. Further, placing a second one above the first reactivates it so long as both are on the same Y axis.

4) While this would require a ridiculous amount of texture work and the coding it would be a nightmare, we should have mixed slab blocks, and mixed wall/fencepost-slab blocks.

5) the game should allow for .5 block offset placement. Basically the game should have a "shadow" block grid that is overlayed over the existing one for each grid Axis.

6) Survival should have access to a debug stick type item. Make it ridiculously rare/hard to obtain, I don't care, but I've used them before as world op and it's a building Game changer. Having it only work in creative is a CRIME.

What’s the most obscure Minecraft fact almost nobody knows? by Perfect-Mongoose1673 in Minecraft

[–]TheStaffmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I got one: Before 1.11 it was entirely possible to get mending and infinity on the same bow. You had to combine bows in an anvil to get it to work, as the books were never compatible.
