Suprised no one has mentioned Minecraft yet. That’s probably it for me.

Always. I kept a dream journal for a while and I definitely would have noticed if one of my dreams was in greyscale.
The main advantage of early guns wasn’t that they were more powerful, it’s that they were easy to use. You can train someone to fire a gun in a day, while it takes months of training just to get an archer strong enough to draw a bow.
Also the whole “the Europeans were dirty diseased peasants” thing isn’t accurate, and I have to say that IMO the right response to racist depictions of indigenous people as unwashed savages isn’t to just turn around and say “actually the stereotypes are correct it’s just that it’s about the Europeans this time”.
And Indigenous people had more advanced technoglogy than many give them credit for but "The Europeans were technologically behind indigenous people in nearly every way. " is just blatantly wrong.
I do think you’re right though that without smallpox and other diseases the Europeans wouldn’t have colonised the Americas, though there were several other major factors in it.
P.S. I’m not a historian, grain of salt, etc.
There are also some ants that farm certain types of fungus! It’s really cool.
Oh damn, nice. I also finished the campaigns (Neter and AotE) this year, though I definitely couldn’t do it on Very Hard- I had some trouble even on medium.
Sure why not. I haven’t really built anything optimized recently though, so I might have to send an old design. Do you want to do a land, sea, or air battle? (or maybe space?)
Huh, didn’t expect to run across another FTD player in the wild. Hi!
There’s so much wrong with this… even beyond the obvious, they tiled the wall with exactly 6 tiles just around the sink. The sink is blocked by the shelf so you can’t use it from the front. And (it’s very blurry so I’m not sure) there seems to be some sort of sign stuck above the sink?
The technology behind it isn’t new, but The Thought Emporium is a Youtuber who:
1: DIY-d a genetically modified virus to cure his own lactose intolerance (successfully)
2: Is currently working on a biological computer that runs on animal neurons.
3: Has livestreams where the viewers submit ideas (like making tomatoes spicy) and he designs DNA to accomplish it.
Also he helped shut down a scam health product that contained radioactive material which isn’t particularly futuristic (actually it reminds me of the “radiation is good for you” craze in the early 20th century) but I wanted to mention it anyways.
Cool, where did you find all those pixellated icons?
The contrast between the super slick minimalistic icons and the bright green Duolingo owl is absolutely hilarious.
I’ve never used Duolingo, what’s that widget for?
Looking at their profile, it’s probably !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
You can create communities on instances other than Beehaw. Beehaw has some restrictions which include not being able to downvote and not being able to make new communities, so yeah it’s an intentional decision on their part.
Huh, I’m also a Boost user, and I’ve found it pretty similar to Boost. What differences do you want to change?
Same, I guess I have to fight an evil clone of myself or something.
Go to the communities tab, sort by all, then search for whatever it is you want.
Same. It seems like there aren’t any active communities here about art, which is a massive shame.
How do you do that? I have Element but all the chats I’ve joined are organised as single channels.
Not really, it’s more like Whatsapp. I don’t know why people keep comparing it to Discord.
Which suprises me. Someone who was a kid when Minecraft came out would be 25 now. I wonder what the age demographics are like on Lemmy.
