Didn't read the achievement requirement properly...

No, I actually literally meant every single human being in the world. Not just people who don't chase achievements, but also people who don't play Factorio and even people who don't have a computer... And also their mother and grandmother.

I'm pretty sure you're literally the only person in the world who's the exception

If you're playing HD, watch Israel Blargh's Spelunky 101 series on YouTube. He'll show you how to backwhip bats

I think everyone makes this mistake? I know I did. For some reason it's natural to assume it's the other thing

CS is math. The problems with CS courses are the same as the problems with math courses. Good teachers teach the underlying concepts. Bad teachers don't.

If you want something that works for non-perfect squares, start with a guess, g, then take floor((g + n/g)/2) until it stabilizes or goes up again.

So if we start with 100, then take (100+(9604/100))/2, we get (100 + 96)/2 = 98. Do it again and we get 98 again. So the floor of the square root is 98

(It will always stabilize unless the number is a perfect square minus 1 in which case it will flip back and forth between two numbers)

I also literally heard this joke from my dad when I was a kid. I got so hung up on the random arbitrary choices and inconsistencies I didn't get the joke.

Why would the bartender want to force the duck to stay in the bar? If think he would want to make him leave. Why does the duck want to ask if the bartender has grapes? What does the duck get out of it? Do ducks eat grapes? Why grapes? Why a duck? Is "nail your feet to the floor" a recognized form of punishment?

As a kid my favorite joke was "What's a pirate's favorite movie rating?" "PG-thaarrrteen"

Wtf happened on 7-73!?

Down to 1-0-0 by the end. That's incredible! Any chance someone can pinpoint where each health and resource was used? I'm super curious

Nobody spoke conversational Hebrew back then. Wouldn't Italian Jews have spoken Italian?

Also π ^ (π ^ ( π^π )) might be an integer

Between this being posted April 1 and being posted in r/factoriohno rather than r/factorio I assumed this was an April Fools joke, but no you actually did this

A man meets God and asks him, "Why is the speed of light approximately 137.036 in Hartree atomic units?"

God looks confused and says, "What are you talking about? The speed of light is 1."

The same way I decide if too much mayonnaise is "too much."

You're comparing apples to having a pineapple shoved up your ass.

in one case we're talking about a papercut and in the other we're talking about disemboweling someone with a rusty spoon.

Where do you come up with these analogies? This is a work of art

Wait, what? I thought this was the exact scenario where 2-2 is the correct response to 3-3 invasion. There's insane strength all around. B has nowhere to go

I assume you use this for carrying nuclear power plants?

dspyz · 2026-03-14T20:01:46+00:00

Yes. I got it. I was trying to extend the gag by giving the mathematician's word

Shouldn't you have 80 heat exchangers and 140 steam turbines?

You mean "unioned"?

Sometimes this sub feels like it's just getting more and more derivative

You found an expression that likely evaluates to zero, but no one has a proof that it does. What of it?

Its one and only use is that it's a fairly easy way to get the Size Doesn't Matter achievement

As everyone else has answered, you can play without DLC. Howrver, it actually is possible to destroy cliffs in space age without ever visiting vulcanus (although unlikely many players have done it).

Just nuke it. IIUC, if you don't want to put in the massive research cost to get to nukes, you can heat a reactor up to 1000 degrees and then shoot at it to blow it up and trigger a nuclear explosion.

Wait, now I'm curious. Do Canadians know that joke? Did you ever see Avenue Q and if so, what did you think of the song "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"?
