I see ice-cream this tall and think:
YOU ARE DOOMED BY YOUR HUBRIS.
DO NOT DELAY FOR SMILES OR RECORD KEEPING.
EAT YOUR TASTY TREAT CAREFULLY BEFORE GRAVITY MAKES A FOOL OF YOU.

Made with Blender. If you want to see more (or read details I've written about before) I have other threads but note that most instances I've seen seem to only get one thread or the other (so you may need to look at my threads on Kbin). There's another image (an office plant) in the comments of one too. Nothing really substantial yet, just trying stuff.

Aesthetic note: Some of the look is just a side-effect of a lower resolution with color reduction to reduce the data of the png. For live-rendered content, I prefer high-fidelity (if certain options actually have a benefit maybe I'd use it, but even then something like vertex lighting is more likely).

For potential gamedev I'd like to use Raylib (with bindings for Nim-lang, and I ran into the issue of vertex colors not loading). Godot 3.X could work but I noticed every imported model will have its own material (Godot 4.X would be nice, but no production-ready bindings for Nim yet like 3.X has).

The Blender workflow here could be better:

  • give every new object color data by default
  • ~~render settings eg filmic contrast w/transparency~~ EDIT: this is covered by file>defaults>save...
  • swapping to solid render mode for the vertex paint mode and then back to rendered for object mode
  • an add-on to set vertex colors in a way that allows quickly editing them (sort of like a color index)?
  • do geometry nodes have any use for this style/vertex colors?
    • I made a spiral vase with modifiers easily, but couldn't figure out how to make stripes in the vertex colors without applying the modifiers first and doing it manually...

It was a streaming site that pulled from a large amount of other sources automatically.

Funnily enough it didn't have any discovery features whatsoever (no front page, popular, latest etc), it was just a search bar that took you right into the video so you needed an idea what it is you wanted to see. And I don't think it was nearly as popular as other sites (like you probably weren't finding it from search results, as I don't think it even had the info that'd be grabbed, and probably didn't even have SEO or anything like that)

Me watching a movie from 2 decades ago on a free site called gronkmooveesh.heh

Somebody on the internet: "U think bees can smell the flowers? Just a dude lovin' his job, that's purpose. Not like us, oh boy if I don't sell the pointless squares right an old man is gonna project his angry breath at me and if this happens enough I become homeless again."

Family in real life: "What they're doing at CERN scares me. They're gonna destroy the world! Also climate change is made up for some reason and I see no problem with oil companies."

KiB, MiB, GiB etc are more clear. It makes a big difference especially 1TB vs 1TiB.

The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.

Either that or maybe something that uses physical measurement of a hard-drive (or CD?) using length. Like that new game is 24.0854 inches of data (maybe it could be 1.467 miles of CD?).

Looks to me like empty boxes taped together.

But who knows, tide-goes-in tide-goes-out you can't explain that. So maybe it's a miracle or whatever.

Ugch, fine, you can use me to feed a patch of mushrooms that's beginning to grow in the now-warming areas of the planet, ultimately to become a giant organism/network that covers Antarctica in white mycelium/mushrooms/spores to replace the albedo effect of snow/ice to save the future of all life on Earth.

But I'll need a ride there.

society must allow for 200lbs of meat to be moved fifty miles per day

And in the US, said transportation will likely make even less sense (in terms of weight, cost, and health/comfort).

So, as it turns out there are a few big reasons.

  • it's a cosmic felony

  • causing improbable events creates a new timeline which increases entropy in all probable realities, which can have some drastic (and usually negative) effects.

  • most time travel agencies (which is what most people can afford) use technology that doesn't actually allow for free will, that's why it's mostly sold for vacations.

    • you can alter/push some decisions, but for most people it's not gonna be successful stocks.
    • older technology was advanced calculation in a realistic simulation. Most people just wanted an old memory or to get closure. Some people just try a different meal or movie choice, the experience is all that matters.
  • time mercenaries. We're actually not sure who these guys are, but we also don't wanna know either. Some say they're who cause spontaneous combustion and embarrassing deaths.

  • most forms of actual time travel leave the user stranded, with chronic or terminal illness (and sometimes amnesia), and in some cases fading/poofing out of existence when certain thresholds are crossed.

    • On top of that, new timelines of you typically aren't experienced by you. It's a different you. So that was nice of you.
  • time spiders. You don't want to know.

"You want to... leave the planet? With aliens you just met?"

Listen, the bar is pretty low. I'll take my chances and will probably be fine with pretty much anything that isn't prolonged neglect/indifference or intentional torture. If you make contact after interstellar travel I'm just gonna assume you're cool and got things covered. And if nothing else you could probably put my brain in a roomba so I can weld in space or something.

TL;DR it don't matter, none of this matters.
