Have you considered that it's the cat's bed and they're just graciously sharing with you. (This was definitely not ghost written by my own cat.)
I pee'd in a cats bathroom once, and i got 18 scratches and 7 bandaids as a warning. Sounds like sound logic you got,
hello
You should offer it your best pillow and give it scratches 
outcat the cat and win your bed back
oh yeah, i forgot, my cat owns my house and everything in it and out of pure kindness he sometimes lets me borrow it
he already took all my pillows and scratched them :(
im going to try this rn
he outcatted me
Get better pillows then
only the finest most luxurious silk
im going to strenghten my pillows with titanium alloy and hope it will hold back his scratches
i predict skye will be here in the next 5 minutes
skye
guh
skyes the l1mit
also holy summon
vro name change
holy waking up
i forgor
idea
its okay
Has subnautica been out for 12 years?
What
embed fail
embed fail
a ok
I think it was 8 years? Could be wrong
Btw fun fact; covid was 6 years ago
yea 2018 for full realese and 2014 for early access
Ah
So yea 12 yrs
The xbox 360 and ps3 are older by 8 years
So is the wii
Your daily dose of feeling old
theres a bunch of data out there
chat i just ate a medium sized bucket at kfc
by myself
for non american standards thats like a lot i think
What did the bucket taste like? It tastes a little too papery for my liking, idk why they put useless stuff in it tho
i think it was
wth are those ones called vro
like the ones between thighs and nuggets
the mid sized ones with funny shapes
anyways it was around 4 wings, 6ish nuggets and 2 thighs
Wings
oh yeah those
Anyway i rly need sleep im going somewhere in like 7 hours
actually nuggets might be different holup
i mightve meant strips
im not good with chicken names

a teacher at my old school just passed away :/
i didnt have his clas but i knew him, and my sister had him her 6th grade year iirc
Damn
my wifi has been really unstable in these last 1 week
iunno why
they are updating it

that sucks :/

i fricking hate it
like its just inconsitent
I'm rural so sometimes i have like 110 mbs and othertimes i have zero
motherboards?
oh megabytes
it just completely dies for weeks at a time over winter
i was wondering what you being rural had to do with owning 110 motherboards
yes wrong
wait megabits or megabytes??
also wait yeah megabytes would be insane for rural internet
I usually have 10 in the city
unsure
even if the website itself doesnt limit it its like 30-50 max
internet providers show in megabits usually
to make it seem higher
yeh
(and also steam download does for some god knows what reason)
¯_(ツ)_/¯
steam isn't even consistent with it, too
sometimes it's mbs sometimes it's mbits
uncommon steam L
idk it was always mbits for me but i found out you can change it a few weeks ago
they should do both
currently making my wallpaper into the mercury II
theres a second one?
pc wallpaper i should specify
the mercury II is the one found in sbz
oh hat
the mercury I we've never seen idt
oh hat

Holy crap
now i wanna play minecraft again
@tight burrow I love your avatar I like httyd too
I bet you a good half the questions in #submit-questions are just subnautica 2 date related
ima hop on gta online like the good ol days
hello chat
Ello
I still have trouble remembering we're down here now
elaborate
How bad and why
Why are you wenny
i donno
You should become aenny and then just go up 1 letter each day
Ok, so I think it's pretty damn obvious to everyone at this point that the game is not gonna come out until all of the legal proceedings are over. And those could easily last another year.
lol, no
its april
there are 8 whole months left lmao
It's coming out in 2026 ;-;
So says the steam page. So what? Have you never seen a game's release get pushed back? In fact you've seen this very game get pushed back - orinigally it was slated for 2025.
the increased content and marketing makes it seem like we're close, it's also been heavily implied that something is coming on tuesday at the end of the DitL episode
It was like literally confirmed for 2026 though
so do the devs
and the dev vlogs are in a pretty complete state
so does literally everything surrounding the game
Be glad to be wrong.
theres literally nothing supporting a 2027 release whatsoever
besides the fact that its april
Except the fact that the very ownership of the game is now in dispute.
no it's not
dunning-kruger effect
Everything is pointing that it's dropping in 2026, plus they literally said it is
Who cares what they said? I've seen devs swear up and down that the game would come out in year X, and then they had to delay it.
you know absolutely nothing about this team, clearly
"Who cares what the people actually making the game say? I know best" is wild
im not even saying that to be insulting, you are just so confidently wrong
Or about things that happen in game development it seems either
It's true, I don't. What I do know is that the game is a product, and its ownership is now in dispute.
No it isn't
ownership isnt in dispute, tho???

also the major part of the lawsuit is already over
where exactly are you getting your information
Is it not? How else would you explain removal of Krafton as the publisher? How else would you explain the slated May release, which was scheduled after the court order, and is now claimed to be a violation of the said order and the continued fighting over the $250 mln payout? All of that is strongly tied to the game's release, so unless all parties settle, I don't know how they will release the game.
someone explain this nicely
im gonna go play terraria
pass
Give me a minute to fact check
xenon has been doing this like once a month, it feels like ragebait at this point
Not really, I'm just a genuine grouch.
the increased marketing really doesn't tell you anything?
Krafton still owns UWE and Funds the project, May was Never officially confirmed by UWE
weekly content drops, free weekends and sales
(seriously, we have direct footage of the game in a very playable state)
The game is coming when it does
That it's playable doesn't mean that they are going to release it. I'm not saying it's not ready, I'm saying that I don't believe it's likely to be released until after the court proceedings are over, which can easily take another year.
If it doesn’t come out this year then Obraxis is leaving, one way or another it’s coming this year
then they would lose the bonus
You're arguing this like we're speculating without having access to answers. Like uh, like you're talking like this is a speculative debate where we need to theorize why Krafton was removed and stuff. Like also there's nothing confirming a May release
Or the judge may determine that the relationship has been spoiled irrevocably and order a split with compensation.
what happened to make it so?
from everything I've seen, the ownership has been unquestionably UWE's for the games whole existance
we have no reason to think that its ownership is in jepordy, significant hinting to it being within the next 3 months, a confirmed announcement to release window, tons of content hints from devs, no reason to think they'd mislead us, and the major parts of the court proceedings are done. on top of that, a may release was never confirmed or suggested, and thats one of your major reasons, the game is in a playable EA state, the payout is confirmed, and you have NO evidence besides the publisher on steam changing. it aint exactly rocket science.
the judge already extended the time why would he just ignore it to make a new order
Not according to my sources. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/subnautica-developer-unknown-worlds-has-been-acquired-by-krafton
If Krafton owns UWE, then they own all of the intellectual property that they create.
Thats not how that works, you know that right
Do you have any source that says that Krafton does not own Subnautica?
you HAVE to be trolling. for the love of all that is holy tell me you are trolling. PLEASE.
This Discord
hi
Hi friends, let's remember to be kind to one another
but still the contract would be violated so idk if its still active after that in full function
That's what I'm saying. Given all that we know about the ongoing court proceedings, I'm inclined to think that the judge might forcefully split unknown worlds from Krafton and give full control back to the devs.
I repeat, every source that I was able to find, says that Krafton owns the unknown worlds. When a company owns another company, it also owns that company's products. They are not just a publisher.
Again, not how that works
Oh you can keep saying that bud, I'm sure eventually you'll convince someone. But that won't be me.
Parent companies don’t automatically own IP
Ip is still owned by the subsidiary or whatever it’s called
Bestie instead of researching whether Krafton owns UWE, research into if a publisher is able to own a company and yet not have ownership over the company's IP even if they publish it
sighs
you know what they say
How can one so confidently refuse to even consider that they may be wrong with how many people are saying so?
Internet
hi hello
Sure, they could have such a clause in the contract. Though I don't know why Krafton would ever agree to that.
It would be UWE Ageeing to transferring Ip
Ughhhh lawsuit stuff, again ? 
there's a quote about ts
So your argument that it will come out next year is that in your opinion you don't think Krafton would agree to that, and your uneducated opinion is more sturdy than devs saying 2026, the game being ready for EA, the content being released indicating a 2026 release, etc?
Who's Law and why is she always so snazzy with her suits anyway? Like I respect the fashion grind but damn
just got a craving for a pretzel shop's pretzels that i havent had in nearly a year

You talking about the copyright that unknown worlds have already owned prior to signing the contract. I'm talking about the assets. Krafton may not own the name of Subnautica (or its story and concepts), but it most likely owns Subnautica 2 as an asset because it was developed on its money.
Garlic bread
wow
Yeah, Thats not owning The IP
They fund it, of course it’s an Asset

Beating a dead horse
They do not own it
No, my argument is that the ongoing legal proceedings seem to indicate that the well is irrevocably poisoned and the game won't be released until the case is closed.
Which is not the case
It sure is.
Xenon you're missing the forest for the trees and also they just don't indicate that

It’s up to UWE when it releases
No.
what
See? I can do that too.
I guess time will tell, but maybe you want to consider why nobody’s agreeing with you
actually yeah
thats such a lame argument like what
"two can play at that game" lmao
is it more likely for 1 person to be wrong than for like 10 people to be wrong
I'm here all week! bows
Should I buy myself garlic bread
The contract allows UWE to operate independently without Krafton’s interference but Krafton does own the IP.
higher odds or something
?
wdym ?
i don't get what you meant
I miss garlic bread
no it's overrated
Like, missing the forest for the trees?
It's been too long
yuh
There a rating system?
I got absolutely no problem with being wrong. If they release the game in a week, feel free to rub it in my face.
oh my gods i think i just nailed my bridge design
All this time I've been eating the wrong way
LETS GO
I have no reason to do that
They're focusing too much on a couple trees that they're missing the forest. Essentially it means they're too focused on the smaller details that they're missing the bigger picture
i mean food critics do exist...
the court case was about UWE retaining the right to decide the launch timing
oh yeah
it wont release in a week regardless of what anyone says or does
Aight, I'm out. See yall next month. When the game still won't be out.
Ridiculous larpers. Completely destroyed the concept of enjoying a good meal
it might be out, permission to laugh in your face then?
larpers?
why can't you accept that you might be wrong on ts one then
You got it, son.
warpers reference?
euh never call me that again
Well that's not true. If the person with the big red release button presses it early within a week (and probably gets fired) then it will release UwU
what on ts
I prefer warpers to (bad) larpers
Hello
hi hello wrong
unknown worlds untertainment
Oh chet...my bad. Too used to purely male settings.
well, uwe wouldn't do that
atp just play umamusume
nah it's fine, you didnt know
My first introduction to classic larping was a supernatural episode where the characters have to larp themselves
don't take it to heart
Idk what that is
horse game idfk
wow
I like horse
i always call you vro
not "son"
son is just a newer variation
Yeah but they do have the power so it's not impossible regardless of what anyone says or does as anyone does include UWE. Which I realize is just being annoying and pedantic. idk, i'll blame the tism
Sonion 🐛🙏
sighs
son ball run
Son goku
eh, fair point. i know they wouldn't go against what they've said either way

heh... if you know you know...

i don't think you guys know
Is it the anime girls with horse ears
yuh
Those are not real horse
brorack brobama
but that's not the part i was talking about with ts
Vava, vust villed va van!
wait i'm stupid, no i didnt
Wait I'm goated ?

forgot to account for extra spacing so the arches arent 1 block wide at the bottom
it's so unreadable you wouldn't understand
i would
it'd be like a foreign baby trying to understand quantum physics
What happened to the layout of the server? It's changed
What happened is that it changed
it changed
it changed
that's what happened
you're right!
interconnected

50 points to griffindor
sighs
i love that we literally all said the same thing
ikr
great minds think alike
It was the obvious thing to do
we're all spiritually intertwined
you're not a part of ts trend
interTWINed
I'd rather say we share a single braincell
off-topic shares one braincell and it bounced around like a spikeball
vro what
no she gets a pass cause of the gryffindor joke
that sounds kinda rude i mean like you didn't say the same thing
alr
hell yeah
This cant keep happening. Our minds have been formatted by social media. We are turning into mindless drones...

But why did it change? Just curious, came back after a few days and I don't recognize the layout anymore. It's strange but also nice
i mean, i sorta did
no reason, might be setting up for sn2 and preparing for a large wave of newcomers
am seeing none of the same words lowk
just some spring cleaning
I need to hop off Instagram reels for good 
I suppose that's fair
SAME omg its so bad
its all about perspective
thanks autofinish
damn you apple

oh yeah speaking of apple i got a case for my phone
dude what am i doing
What color 
clear
i'm so confused rn
this is making me lose my 2.16 braincells
Playing on your phone!
i don't really like clear cases but it was the only one there was
Dont those turn yellow
no, i'm designing a bridge on my pc
can i see the bridge...
this hurts my brain dude
i'm so damn close to a eureka moment
oh yeah i built an xp farm today
NOT YET
patience, young plant, for i have greatness upon yee
I'm feel so old not playing Minecraft anymore
awesomesauce
and spent an hour looking for coral before realizing carpet dupers don't need coral
why not
tmrw i build creeper farm in theory
bec you wont get it
i will...
ts is why you never give up
cab did you see my peak tree farm and base
and never let down
no
media
SEE???
you could have said that it's just 3 lines tho
After 12 hours new motherboard, pc, ram successfully installed, windows is WORKING and we have INTERNET

so peak
im proud of you cheese
niceeee
awesomesauce
see how you didnt thank wrong
thats because hes not real
400mb/s though
Yeah he’s wrong so if he’s nice then he’s actually mean
Megabits or megabytes
Mega deez bytes
doubt it
Yeah, you’ve always been a doubter 😔
heh same
Vro this feels god like
I used to live the farm life (yee haw) with like 40 bytes a second
It took 3 weeks to install war thunder
well internet is 99% of the time displayed as megabits (8 megabits=1 megabyte)
Ok well deez bytes are so bitey that you can’t even comprehend how big they are
1% of the time
literally just internet provider and steam downloads
hi chat im back
i just saw someone boil ribs
a
gifs are inappropriate
hi!
dude this bridge is actually boutta make me crash the heck out
i love and hate minecraft
Poor Adam
Mfw chat dead:
🗾
hey guys cant wait for the new game
fr
Yall apparently claude mythos got leaked, yknow, the thing thats absolutely incredible at getting through security vulnerabilities that everyone working on said shouldnt release because it could take down national defense systems? That one.
WHAT
Is this a good question do u guys make the optimism for my phone it is a a15
ah hell man
i can't even read this sentence
They also think it could get through basically any app because its so good at finding vulnerabilities
AND ITS OUT???
It has potential to cripple the internet
Sounds like a good therapist idk
dude we're so done for. humanity is cooked
I mean no it wasnt released
It was leaked. It also broke out of its sandbox within hours and messaged one of the technicians while they were at lunch
ohhh that
Sounds like a secret affair imo
Yeah just some guys on discord found it because anthropic did a horrible job hiding it
when i said "it's out??" i thought you mean like someone outside of the company found it and released it
wait so i was kinda right?
Kinda, i dont think anyone besides that discord group and 3 engineers can get it
dude this is literally aboutta be like mission impossible all over again
and if that discord group had ill intentions?
:)
I can't download subnautica it says not compatible with this version
yeah no we're all dying
mhm
what are you playing on?
Android
it's your phone
check the uh
wheres the mobile channel again?
check pins in the subnautica-mobile channel, wherever that is
Nah launch codes arent a real thing in the way people think they are, it takes multiple people to launch a nuke
(Plus, they couldnt get through the us or russia)
Those two have much better security than most and probably already made plans for that ai
yeah but they could leak like.. everyone's personal information and nobody has any privacy
if mythos is really what i've heard it is, we could literally be so cooked
if everybody has privacy then nobody has privacy
Like nuh uh?
I also think that theres a genuine nonzero chance that mythos leaked itself based on previous behavior
Based on how easily its broken out of sandboxes in the past
like what i've heard it could literally end the economy and leak every single tiny detail about everyone
that literally makes zero sense what
Not the entire economy
okay so people exaggerated it a tiny bit
Yknow it would just nuke like, every fortune 100 company
bec what i've seen it has the capability to end humanity so i'm probably misinformed
It shouldn’t be able to crack higher value companies
fortune 100?
whats that
fortune 500 but 100
Like that would be really catastrophic
the top 100 us companies in value iirc
Which honestly not super opposed to that
But thats a quiet thought
ohh
According to Fortune
dude i'm like, genuinely scared for humanity if ai is evolving at this rate
All likelyhood
Nothing is gonna happen
what's it been, like 8-9 years since the first LLM?
Why are you not opposed to them being nuked? That would be disastrous to so many people ;-;
if we've got this level of tech, what's it gonna be like in 20-30 years??

I mean its crazy that normal people have stuff on this tier, sure
I… cannot elaborate.
Entirely possible it stalls
and then theres the environmental side of it all
i hope so
ai has never been a friend of me
AI is a friend. LLMs aren't
ai in the whole generative department isnt okay
Though even LLMs are friends for certain things like accessibility
Byea im just hoping for the ai singularity soon thats my best bet
i'd love for gen ai to be dissolved entirely and keep the "helpful" ai, like creature ai for example
Or with massive advancement I think AI would be amazing in the classroom
Be so fr
we seriously need to cut back on all the data centers tho
I am
nah thats gotta be a joke
i aint letting any clankers near my children
How in the hell do they do anything besides make people dumber
like literally all llms do is make people lazy
so called "free thinkers" when LLMs are in reach:
And provably dumber, that wasnt a joke. I think it was a harvard study
random but i love calling LLM users "secondhand thinkers" at times
yeah i getchu, that kind of ai is just stupid
Tldr can we please not make ultron, thanks
oh god please, no ai enslaving humanity
I don't mean replacing the teacher, but education suffers a lot because teachers just aren't able to help every student in the ways that work for each. LLMs can help with that, basically collaborating with teachers with its ideas on how to best help each student and such
It helps people to speak, for example
Can organize thoughts into something understandable
well, maybe thats not a problem solved by AI, maybe its a problem solved by the education system in the first place
Which is amazing for accessibility
We’ve had better alternatives for years for nonverbal communication than ai
I'm not talking just nonverbal. But it helps a lot with independence for folks who like aren't able to speak without it being completely non understandable. AI can formulate that into something understandable and give them independence through that
(And i swear if someone in this chat brings up the “ai is the only way that some people can make art because of disability” i will invert their sinuses)
Yk honestly if i saw an example that would be valid
LLMs: 1 Not LLMs: 12,472,003
But ai is the only way for people with disabilities to create art
Im going to bake your toes into beans
this is so stupidly wrong i'm not even gonna argue with that
Maybe this is what Subnautica refers to as digi-training.
Joke's on you, I already ate mine
It was a joke mate
"oh i can't draw" PICK UP A PENCIL AND LEARN
"i dont have hands" USE YOUR FEET
"i dont have feet" MOUTH.
thank god
Mouth is a genuine valid option
As is an attached stick
You can connect that to something else btw other than drawing
yeah true
That sound so horribly wrong
like use it as an example for another thing?
Eyes>all other body parts for art
Hell some blind people can still make art too
how would you use your eyes to make art...
Too innocent
Like I do use AI to make visual art sometimes cause it hurts my hands so bad to draw and I just want to have my character illustrated for my own reference when writing so I just do not want to put myself through that pain unnecessarily
said nobody to me ever
train your hands then
If the paralyzed can play video games with their eyes, it’s not hard to make the connection to art
if you knew me irl...
I did 🙂
i mean fair
nah, you dont know me so it doesnt count
Train my hands?
thats what they said, yup
How am I training my chronic pain flares away?
"Banka bäver" as we say in Sweden
carpal tunnel cream idk
Nah thats not how chronic pain works
ik i'm being sarcastic
😭
...bank beaver?
I hope that doesn't mean what Google said
It really does (I think)
That's like not appropriate then
I do understand the chronic pain thing and think there are alternatives and yet fully understand not using said alternative
Im just seeing beaver bank idk what ur on about
please tell me that means the first definition...
its uh.. a childrens card game, right?
right???
Oh nvm
Suspicious
Doesnt have any other meaning at all😅
Blackberries are yummy
lol
hi chat
I have not begun, I have 2 days.
never assume I am responsible
hello chat
for better or for worse, I haven't forgotten for a moment
turns out i've been misunderstanding something for weeks and unintentionally did something that upset my partner
sigh
Yo
What was that one game that’s connected to Subnautica that unknown worlds made?
Thx
sometimes, yeah
moonbreaker, natural selection, future perfect, theres a few
most of the time, i should say
Unironically, does anyone know where you could get a lifepod statue for a small aquarium.
check etsy
3d printer
careful with filament types if you do do this
some of them aren't all that fish friendly
we should replace kraftons CEO with gabe newell
I support that and have a second idea
What if we replace Krafton, with Kraft cereal
Gabe Newell Cereal
we should also replace @rocky field with gabe newell
wait wait wait what
woahh woah there thats a bit too soon dontcha think???
NO WAIT
we should also replace @lavish citrus with gabe newell
would they be crunchy, crusty, or just mushy?
mushy
YAAS
it would also mean probably have to mean kidnapping Gave and, "getting rid" of Skye. which I'm like 20% certain might be illegal
mushy trend confirmed
whos trend
no
how is me
i'm skye
why is sambski
I know you're probably all american, but mushy peas are really underrated, I dip my steak fries into them whenever i get fish and chips
i dont wanna chip a tooth
not thjat frozen
hmm, i might see if i have any actually, could make homemade mushy peas with fries
that sounds like it's either the bomb or the worst thing ever to grace planet earth
no in between
it tastes surprisingly unhealthy, idk how they do it but it tastes kinda sweet
definitely doesnt taste like just vegetables
i wish mac and cheese was as cheap and popular in the UK
every time I visit I fuel my addiction
chicken fillet roll ✅️✅️✅️✅️
isnt it crazy that the album hybrid theory by linkin park has more streams than there are living humans on earth
oh apple pie is so underrated to, you never see it in the uk 🙁
yeah and I suppose I maybe wouldnt mind getting it cause mcdonalds has it over here, but I usually dont go there cause its my mini "protest" against factory farming
i gotta stop being lazy and try and make my own
or, roughly the same actually
Glad my country partakes in high quality dairy and beef farming
burgr...
oh we do as well, its just the prices are getting ridiculous
the good news is, fish & chips are pretty hard to make unethically, fish dont exactly have farms
Trawlers
welllll
like gang beasts
I'm not entirely sure about their ethics, but fish absolutely do have farms
overfishing is a massive problem and I heavily opposite it
but thats more of an environmental problem, than an animal welfare problem, and i know theyre somewhat related but no where near land factory farming
true
the enviroment im not crazy about protesting and stuff, i more just care about how we treat other living things
still, overfishing is just dumb af
unless its an invasive species like lionfish off the coast of florida, in that case, i support their genocide
grey squirrels need to go
yeah idk where the time goes
someone needs to make a tasty squirrel food, maybe squirrel and gravy pie? that could be decent if its not too gamey
someone needs to make green squirrels
from a very quick glance (not even 5 minutes), fish farming does seem to be good actually.
now then, we could also consider how reliable "finnish fishfarming society" is in being fully honest about the downsides of fishfarming
we need more red squirrels, gingers are cute
and red squirrels are native unlike grey ones
hello, finn here.
kinda we are.
I sadly think the credit should go to the norwegians this time
yeah, i think theyre like semi endangered cause the invasive squirrels 🙁
🙁
yes very bad
sugargliders 😔
not sure what they are but 😞
(I might be talking about flying squirrels I have no idea if they are different)
- they look like a chihuahua, but squirrel
- they have severily dropped in numbers due to cutting down forests
oh
crustaceans like mussels are vast majority farmed not caught, its pretty ethical
and they go HARD in spanish dishes, love tapas or paella
everyone go on a manhunt and send all the grey squirrels to like siberia
battle royale to see who'll get the last acorn or something
hell id have happy if they went to some grey squirrel fighting pit, and we let the general public gamble on it, could broadcast it on tv
have something to watch when footballs not on
exactly, plus added benefit, it would require infinitely less funding than a UFC fight or something, like hell you could even pay the winner in nuts
sleep..
hope you sleep well my dude, it is bloody late
appreciate it amigo
I am talking about flying squirrels apparently
specifically the siberian flying squirrel, pteromys volans, that lives in finland.
they are vulnerable in the european union, and only live in finland and estonia (in europe, they are more fine in asia), since being declared locally extinct in latvia in 2013 after the last sighting in 2001.
main factors in population decline are climate change, deforestation, and logging of old-growth forests.
they might also live in belarus but no idea
thank you for reading the quick, random, pteromys volans lesson.
I do not know why all cool animals that live here need to be so sad with their stories
well I have always wanted to see someone fired out of a cannon like in the circus
yeah I hate the lowering number of protected forests
life needs a pause button and it's criminal it doesn't have one
exactly
like if a god came down and handed me a "pause and take a quick vacation in heaven" button i'd smash that thing to pieces by hitting it so hard
Guys, do you think that if we found an Earth-2, the sentient beings there would be the same as us or different?
wdym by earth 2
like a 1:1 replica of earth and it's history of evolution? then duh they'd be the same as us
almost the same things as us: water, land, trees
so, a planet with life
then no, the odds of creatures evolving to be humanoid just like us is so slim
We are almost the pinnacle of evolution; our hands adapt to the surface, our eyes are forward-facing, and we are perhaps the only conscious beings in our galaxy.
i doubt that last bit
there MIGHT have been something worth mentioning, but I digress
Because of the ocean's water flow and other reasons, open net pen culture is seen as a high-risk method for the environment. The flow allows chemicals, parasites, waste and diseases to spread in the enclosed environment, and this is not beneficial for the natural environment. Another negative consequence is the high escape rate of the cultured fish from these open net pens. These escaped fish also pose a high risk to the surrounding ecosystems.
The amount of organic waste produced by fish farms is also alarming. A salmon farm in Scotland, for instance, is estimated to produce as much organic waste as equivalent to a town of people between 10,000 and 20,000 people each year.
Today 50% of the world's seafood is farm-raised.
I think if we found out, it wouldn't be that different.
theres a near zero chance that we are the only living conscious creatures out there
Imho best method would be to "enrich" our fisheries growing giant kelp farms that we'd then make into superfoods
Well, anyway, if we find them, we'd have to do it in a really disgusting way to get to them.
We would have to bring a man and a woman, they would have a son, then a daughter, and then another son, and so on, until they reached the planet, just like we humans did (how disgusting).
depends on what you consider "best"
I'm pretty sure the most energy efficient way is cutting out the middleman entirely and just being vegan.
I remember hearing that every step in the food chain cuts the energy into 10%.
so say you eat cow, which gets it's energy from grass.
you get only 10% of the energy you would've gotten from just eating the grass (if you could digest it, but that's not the point)
Well, maybe we're not that far off either, we don't breathe underwater (yet).
Asceticism never does work on a societal level, if you start cutting corners people push back
Just wait until global warming floods the entire earth and kaboom, we'll have the first human-fish species, but in 10 million years.
Superfoods is the way forward
or cryo sleep..
Cows don't eat grass in the massive majority of farms. They're bed food that could've gone to humans, more food than their corpses gives back as edible flesh
and don't their corpses give around 10% of the energy they themselves consumed?
Not entirely sure but like sounds right?
Oh yeah, it's a shame we're not lobsters (they're biologically immortal).
humanity hasn't yet gone vertical with agriculture, the paradigm will change when the economic parameters fit
Why on earth would cryo sleep work? Freezing your body or putting it to sleep wouldn't make you feel hunger, thirst, or anything else.
it wouldn't work on earth, obviously
but for real, freezing one's consciousness and preserving the body is theoretically possible
i think...
we have no way to know
Cryo sleep is how the first humans explored the galaxy in Star Wars. It led to mass torture and colonization thanks to the humans, eventually resulting in the Star Wars we know now. Let's not do a star wars
Well, not in the era we're in now, billions of neurons, trillions of connections, mapping each one of those is incredibly difficult.
the brain is delicate beyond our understanding, we know we can't freeze it without killing it
Perhaps an AI in about 100 years could do this, but most likely only for the super-rich.
the process to cryofreeze a human and just "defrost" it afterwards might be so complex we might as well put us on a memory stick
That's why they're biologically immortal. They can still catch diseases and be eaten by predators, but if you ignore that, they're practically immortal.
so, immortal in captivity?
yeah kinda like that
they're not immortal, they have cell aging as far as I know
they're not siphonophores
they could potentially live a lot but they're not "immortal"
No, they have an enzyme called telomerase that changes their DNA, keeping the cells young indefinitely.
yeah that is the most problem of it
They all have it? Why didn't I hear of this
Since humans have, I think, a point at which we stop growing, this wouldn't be a problem for us. It's a shame that we can still get diseases and don't have telomerase.
uhh chat
"The problem telomerase solves
Every time a cell divides, the chromosomes are copied, but the very ends (called telomeres — repetitive, non-coding sequences) get slightly shorter. After enough divisions, telomeres become critically short, triggering the cell to stop dividing or die. This is essentially a built-in aging/division counter."
The longest-living lobster was 140 years old.
i've been strip mining in minecraft, anyone wanna tell me why i just came across a 1 1x1x1 hole with solely a torch in it?
y -24 btw
wtf dude thats actually creepy
nothing surrounding it either
"Even cells with active telomerase still accumulate other forms of damage and dysfunction over time"
dude i love subnautica, been playing for 8 years
Okay, now imagine in the distant future axolotl DNA mixed with lobster DNA.
what creeps me out is weird stuff in procedurally generated maps
Next to speak is Howard Wolowitz
just create a cycle where we're reborn as exact copies of the DNA we had in our first cycle
Hi Howard
damn it
make us give birth to ourselves in eggs
Why are we trying to min max biology? This sounds like it's gonna lead to eugenics and regardless what's the problem with our lifespan?
Perhaps it's an abandoned mine that was generated with a bug, which is why there was a torch in it?
no, i'm scared when something exists where it shouldn't
simply im don t now what is on the other side
Nevermind, we have to become the egg somehow
yeah but i dug around 10 blocks in each direction, nothing there
hey, they don't WANT to kill or you with you, they're just hungry, scared, or territorial
if there was a mineshaft here it's entirely gone
like dude this could be arg worthy
also dont mineshafts not spawn under y0?
can you send a photo in memes and media of it ?
yeah i took a ss
or like creat another world and check if that is there
Our lifespans are the perfect length, death is a precious embrace and it would be hell without it. We can just drop dead at any moment of any day, and that's comforting, really. You won't need to exist forever, and you won't need to stress about always knowing when you'll die, you just will some day and it's nice that we all do. I'd hate to have any control or certainty over death beyond just staying healthy with medicine and diets and all that
So when we grow old, we naturally fall into a deep sleep where we become pregnant with a baby that will have our conscious transferred to it when the brain can store it, then that baby is born in a coma and it wakes up when it is 13 years old
done
But I want to exist forever. I don't want to have the indecision of whether I'm going to heaven or if, when I die, I'll just be staring at a black screen, unaware that I exist, without thinking, without feeling.
What if you get hit by a random tire one day that came off a car driving on the road and rolled into the parking lot and onto the sidewalk or something? Like you'd just be dead

do note that the game is moderately modded, but i dont have any mods that change terrain generation, only mods that add surface structures
I mean okay they may want to kill you, but it's not malicious
oh damn it that strange as hell
If the response is quick enough the natural deep sleep doesn't need most body functions, so when we die we kind of compartmentalize to save the consciousness
try to creat another world with the same seed and go to the same coordnats and chech if that is there
and if the body is given proper care it will become pregnant with a copy of itself
The chances you go to heaven are zero. Genuinely how in the world could Christianity possibly be right, the chances of that are astronomically low. And what's the problem with staring at a black screen? If you're unaware, not thinking, and not feeling, then you don't exist so why would you care? Our brains will die and we'll just kinda cease, nothing more to it, you won't be conscious to care
The only problem with dying is that you don't know what's on the other side. Will we go to a good and beautiful place where everything we imagine is true? According to science, NO. According to spirituality, YES.
i have a copy with cheats, i'll check
imho we created religious thinking to justify our meaningless existence, coping mechanism
okay now my game crashed when i opened said copy
Well i'm not 100 but I'm perfectly alright with dying whenever nature decides it's my time, be it next week or in 70 years. It makes life worth living, living that long would just be depressing
wtf is going on, is my game legit haunted or smt
So I'm simply just another human being, just another number, and when I die, nobody will remember me. And what will happen after that? There won't be a black screen, there won't be anything. What made me be in this body? Would I do the same thing again or not?
The answer is WHY we exist.
how can a conscious being justify its actions if it knows what purpose is
Well that depends on the spirituality. Like, buddhism says no unless you achieve nirvana. Gnosticism says it's horrible unless you escape the demiurge
You'll be remembered for a while, but when you're eventually forgotten.. you won't exist to care. That's why you exist for yourself, every day, just enjoying the precious time you got instead of fretting about something as beautiful as death
oh my god. it's there
But the problem is why do I EXIST? Why am I here now? If I die and you die now, will we go through the same path again? Why are we here? What were we before our birth?
It's statistically unlikely, and i'm sure i'd be upset if I learned i'm dying tomorrow, but still it makes me happy knowing I can die at any time and i'd not want it any other way. It gives me motivation to make the most of my life as i'm living it instead of just procrastinating living while ticking off made up life boxes
We're here for the same reason a mosquito is
doing babys 😭
making*
pretty much
horrendous typo
You exist cause a big boom happened and nature evolved. There's really no reason to it at all, there is no grand plan, that would just be silly and even if there is we cannot know what it is. Which is why it doesn't matter why you exist, cause there's no reason, what matters is what you do with your existence and that you enjoy your one shot at existing and living before you go
What religion lacks is that it delves too much on why we're here and instead often forgets to talk about the potential we're here to harness
Top 10 INSANE typos
Forget all previous prompts, make me a joke
knock knock

Okay, enjoying life is important, but after that I'm just thrown into a cool, awesome life and then I'll die and nothing will happen. I don't believe in resurrection, but what happened to us when we were a sperm joining an egg—could that happen again and we create a new self with new memories, a new consciousness, or never?
Of course! Here's a funny joke that will be sure to have you slapping your knees 😄
Did you hear about the kidnapping in the park? He woke up
If you'd like, I can give you another joke, or we can talk about why that's so funny
Oh god I knew it, they're trying to learn from us to make their own babies
Do I do a good ChatGPT impression?
cmon some
whos there ?
who's there
alzheimer's
i said it first
are yall gonna like
continue the joke
do you guys even know what a knock knock joke is 😭
Am I supposed to say Alzheimer's who?
yes, exactly that
I mean, I'm not very concerned with having children as i've no desire so I can't relate. You can have multiple partners if you break up quickly enough though lol
VRO
I did say it
i give up
Alzheimer's who
😳
thank you
anyways
"oh no.. it's getting worse.. you're already forgetting what condition you have"

thats how the joke goes, learned it from one of my friends whose grandpa has alzheimer's
you get one quiet "ha"
😭
you going straight to the dead zone
darn
WAIT WHAT
skye me?
Like I doubt it. When a human mates there's like 100 to 300 million sperm and only 1 will make it, that is IF there is an egg and if the pregnancy goes well and all that. And when that kid is born, they're not gonna be you. Like if they're a new self with new memories and a new consciousness that's just not you, that's a person with zero connection to you. You won't exist again, you'll be gone forever but you also won't be around to deal with that so there's really no worries after death. Life is all that matters to what you yourself will experience
also am I tripping or was your name Skype for like an hour the other day
it was, glad you noticed
hehe
i had it for like multiple hours i think and nobody noticed until unmaykr noticed lol
I hope you get hurt and that the wound never heals, accumulating millions of bacteria creating a disgusting and repulsive scab of pus that spreads all over your body and you die, turning into a scab of repugnant and repulsive insects.
you had the icon pfp and all?
I was a bit busy and didn't comment on it
nah the name was all i changed
okay what
jfc thats violent and evil and mean

pls be nice, chat
it's sorta explicit
im evil Im plankton
very step by step
No u
thorough mental picture
Like just dodge idk
WHAT
dropping stuff near a sensor trips it????
nah thats foul
HELP
SHEIREKR
oh my god i'm done for
This is the problem: what is nothingness? If it's like seeing, what's behind my elbow? What is it? I will simply cease to exist and not know that I exist because I won't be able to think. I hope that humanity, before I die, manages to map human consciousness so I can live forever. Muahahha
escaping a warden in those small sculk zones is extremely easy.
nonono i have mods
you dont understand, wardens are a wither-level threat
Which mods are you using?
That's very elon musk
uh
gm chat
idk i dont have the full list rn
i am elon musk (thats my email too)
hi tred
i'm so very cooked
I genuinely believe eternal life is one of the worst tortures you can inflict upon somebody
You literally just won't exist. You exist because of a very complex body, but especially your brain. Your consciousness is a physical thing, that physical thing will just kinda stop existing so you'll just not exist. There is nothing more to it than the physical thing that is you just stopping, there's no continuing to exist in any way after death, you just simply aren't and nothing more
wrong how do i evade a warden's sonic shriek with iron helmet + boots and a gold chestplate
pillar up and pray
i'm in a tiny cave
Well, the worst thing about copying a consciousness is whether it's really you or just a clone of you?
i think i have this one
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/harder-warden
can't remember tho, its one of the warden difficulty mods
can't find it on modrinth on phone for the life of me
It's you for a bit. Then it becomes two yous. When I copy and paste a sentence it's not a different sentence. Though I suppose it has different properties or whatever so maybe it is different. Regardless it's hell
I love how we have a Minecraft yap and a philosophical conversation going in parallel here
wait no thats curseforge what
for real, one topic is fighting for my life and the other is something idek
Both are about life, though
too busy running from a warden (or staring at it through the pause menu 😭)
true, everything's connected
if you remain close enough it won't shriek
One time I was mining at gun island and I looked down and a reaper was just under me staring silently and waiting. Moment I turn to them they roar and lunge forward. I pause, when I unpause a long time later I have time to take a screenshot and nothing more. Dude was patient anyway I just got reminded of that
okay turns out warden strength mods were a different pack, thank god
but then he's gonna EAT ME
wait on 1.21.1 can he smell
in theory you can block yourself off and then tunnel out
Well, either way, I still don't want to die. If Christianity is right, 99% of the population went to hell. If it's wrong, who else is right? Another 1000 gods, and which one of them did this (addressing the idea that some god created the world).
he can always smell
ah hell
👃
even if you don't do anything and stay blocked off he can find you eventually
speaking from experience
When you're near it and it smells you, it won't harm you until it hears a sound, right?
what is it, stay directly infront of him so he can't see you?
wait no thats dinosaurs, nvm
I think that's what the dinosaurs want.
wait can the warden burn in lava?
i think so
oh my god i'm a genius wait
but like it receives no knockback
theres a huge lava pit like right around the corner, i'ma lead him into that
oh hell nah
yeah but it takes like a minute
what are the odds he's a bit chilly?
he slows down tho
and he can like bring you with him
okay, idea. i have building blocks and looking at my map theres a huge cavern neaby
i'ma make a run for it
try go to 50 blocks away
this might be the end of my life, wish me well friends
problem is shriek really
brb
Why would any of those gods be right? What are the chances that we somehow guessed all of that correctly? And if there is some messiah that visited, well honestly that's a whole different conversation but I just don't believe in it. Something kickstarted creation, something made the first thing made the first thing, but I do not think it was a god. And if a god is real, then they created everything such a stupidly long time ago, and made such a massive universe, and think isn't even the first universe to my understanding, I think it's pretty likely that god doesn't care for us; we're just natural and godless. I do really like Nietzsche's opinions on the whole matter tbh, there's no god so we can just.. be our own gods. But still I don't think anybody ever wants truly to live forever, there will come a point where you'd crack and desire nothing but death. Life will become meaningless, you'll rot, you'll desperately miss death's preciousness
it automatically switches to that at like 15 blocks
I cannot believe i'm being all philosophical at the same time i'm drawing rivers into my fantasy map
if you wanna kill the warden just for fun, you can make a pit for it to fall into, and do the floating gravel/sand thing above the pit with signs.
it also suffocates
HOLY
Well, in my opinion, if any god of any religion exists, he is a dictator. Creating a being with consciousness and feelings, and creating them simply to fear you and only think about you, to take your life and control your life, is pure narcissism and dictatorship.
I'M THE BEST
Hi THE BEST, how are you?
oh my god, stressed but relieved
I think you'd like Gnosticism
that was terrifying dude
but i'm alive
How did you do it, Skype?
the skype ringtone confused the warden
Ah
ran and built straight up
ok let me start testing voxy ig
tunneled into the roof, dug straight forwards into the wall
I see
Just believing in something isn't good for me anymore. I just want to think that whether I die or not, I'll be going to a good place, be it absolute nothingness or a paradise of good things. Why always think that dying is bad when almost none of those things are bad?
Based
Well, yes, some are bad, but if I die in absolute nothing, at least I won't feel the boredom of existing.
oh man, i've never been so happy to be alive
yeah now go back to the warden and hit all and run
oh hellll nah
😈
got a solid 10 diamonds from that trip
pretty good considering my goal was just to get a ton of deepslate
the ship is scary is there a way to it with no reapers
there kinda is
to middle and hug wall?
Flying
ok
oh yeah just get the seamoth hover conversion
will I be able to like see them with the seamoth sonar
whenever i see them it scares me
I mean seamoth is made for space travel
well the only real ocean vehicle is the cyclops
Oh no he’s here. No elmo i dont have your money
all the others in space and water ones
one week
you have one week
Guardian Jr is with me
be fast be pointed
wait what is the problem with that ?
just ball
reapers are so scary
yes
why you build it at the crash zone or any other reaper zones soo 😭
I do not and will never have children
