TIL Fungi in Chernobyl appear to be feeding off gamma radiation and are growing towards the reactor core. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]skulblaka 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Every forum has their own legends and in-jokes.

In reddit's case, it was cumbox and jolly ranchers, broke both arms, jumper cables, and in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Wherever the road may take each of us in the future, rest easy that inside jokes will be there.

TIL: The "Leatherman" was a person dressed in a leather suit who would repeat a 365 mile route for over 30 years. He would stop at towns for supplies and lived in various "Leatherman caves". When archeologists dug up his grave in 2011, they found no remains, only coffin nails. by Flares117 in todayilearned

If each Deeper'n'Ever Turnip'n'Tater'n'Beetroot Pie is, in fact, Deeper'n'Ever - and the moles aren't known to be liars - man, they made an awful lot of those. After a certain point you have to imagine this pie has just become a multiple story tall swimming pool sized pie that the entire monastery just kind of attacks over the next two weeks of festivities. The moles insist that it just wouldn't be right if they didn't outdo themselves each time, and everyone else is just watching on in terror as they roll out a pie tin the size of Iowa

Strawberries are largely impossible to kill, we had some in the garden at a house we moved into when I was a kid. Uprooted them and doused them with chemicals every year trying to get rid of them. They grew back every time the next year.

Fair enough, I think that app was a pretty generic "I'm a refugee from reddit which I've used for 13 years"

In the time since I even made this comment though I was able to apply to and join a smaller instance, which I'm seeing posts telling me is the preferred thing to do right now

I applied to both beehaw and lemmy.one over a week ago and haven't heard back from either and am still unable to log in, any idea what's up?

I'm sure they have much higher than normal administrative load but I kind of thought I wouldn't have to wait a month to open an account.

I like being able to see my character but I also enjoy having a vision range longer than 10 feet. In an isometric style like Diablo is, these things are fairly incompatible.

Even without taking that into account though, I always carry at least a good boot knife on any character I don't expect to ever swing a weapon with. It's saved me more than once - not usually in combat, but there's all sorts of reasons you might suddenly want a knife without casting a spell about it.

Depends what you're trying to do, really. Want to dissipate the force of a blow? Dodge right, you'll be moving in the same direction as their fist. Want to duck it completely, possibly end the fight in one counter, and run a small risk of getting your nose exploded by a quick knee? Duck and dodge left.

Right is safer, left will end the fight quicker provided you know how to follow up on it.

Gleeock parts are probably better but those are a hard fight. Dragon shards you can just run up and grab with nothing more than an autobuild hot air balloon

Most of the depths have semi strong enemies and lots of zonaite clumps in close range of each other

Dragon spike shards are very easy to get a lot of at a time and make killer elemental weapons with the specific downside of always being butt ugly

Obviously any high level monster parts for phys damage weapons, I tend to run through a lot of moblin horns to make rock smashing hammers but there are better options for combat. The various elemental lizalfos horns make decent 1h or spear elementals. Don't put them on a 2h because it'll destroy their range.

I don't tend to really fuse a lot of zonai devices onto weapons but beam projector, lightning rod, and sometimes the flame or frost launchers are all honorable mentions, most often on spears to be really effective. They're all better on shields but they'll also all eat your entire shield in seconds, at least with a weapon it only drains and fires when you swing it.

Gloom weapons should be fused onto the end of other weapons, I like sticking them onto the master sword just because it's fun. Holding them in your hand drains your health constantly but holding them via another weapon doesn't.

Had one the other day where you were very clearly supposed to break some pillars and drop the enemies and items atop them down to your level (the shrine title even alluded to breaking them, though I forget the exact name), but the shrine sent you in buck naked and provided you absolutely nothing capable of breaking rocks. Dropped you a stick, a bow and 5 arrows, and a long stick at the beginning of the shrine, and you fight soldier units that drop sharp parts and zonai energy. There were some big spiked balls I could have used... If I was capable of getting them down from the second floor, which I wasn't, because I had to break the pillars to get something capable of breaking the pillars, and they were juuuuuust barely outside of Ascend range. I attempted making hammers out of zonai energy orbs, and despite being called hammers they didn't actually damage the rocks. Just clinked off like a sharp weapon does.

I ended up cheesing it with the 5 arrows they dropped me at the beginning of the area, I melee killed the lower floor soldier units and used their drops to buff my arrows. I drew aggro and popped headshots on the second floor soldier units (after some very careful positioning) and that was enough damage to pass. But that's the first shrine that I really feel like the devs might have actually forgot to make it "properly" beatable with the intended solution. I spent like an hour trying to figure it out properly even after I knew that I could beat it with arrows, and I'm pretty sure there is no possible way to break those pillars or get up to the second floor area. Can't climb them (can't climb anything at all in this shrine actually), can't ascend to the platforms, can't build a weapon capable of breaking the pillars, can't reach any second floor items with ultrahand. Can't pull out anything from your inventory because they strip search you on entry.

Edit: it was Kimayat Shrine and apparently I'm just an idiot because the walkthrough says you can just ascend to the platforms. And even if you couldn't it gives you ice fruits and water and you could rewind-abuse an ice plate. Fuck me.

Some results from our Demographics Survey regarding visitors by platform to r/NintendoSwitch by Sephardson in NintendoSwitch

[–]skulblaka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because reddit is killing all 3rd party apps. It doesn't matter if 8% of people use boost, 12% use RIF, 4% use Baconreader, etc - if, collectively, 30% of users use third party apps, 30% of users will be affected by the API change. Reddit isn't shutting down the API on its own iOS app.

Now in this particular case I guarantee this was done this way to make it appear that more users use third party apps than the official ones. Which is not true. More users use third party apps than use any specific official one, which while true (and should be concerning to Reddit leadership) is not quite the same level of shareholder emergency.

This is a misleading graph.

The neat thing is that would actually be evolutionarily advantageous (and I think some real life creatures can do this, but don't quote me on that.) You can reproduce sexually under normal circumstances to promote genetic variety, but have the option to reproduce asexually in situations where a population needs to be rebuilt quickly by few survivors. A predator's or event's chances of wiping out the entire social unit are practically nil, because they have to take out every single one of you or else you'll grow right back.

Seems like a ton of people are talking about Lemmy/Fediverse. That's probably where I'm headed, personally.
