    But precalculating is just waste of resources when you are building a pure procedural universe.

      I doubt that’s really a consideration when you are literally God

        Well, obviously he isn’t a literal god since he made mistakes and retcons and had to rest afterwards.

          So it’s always been a programmer joke from the “beginning”?"

        Eh, this god is lazy. They even had to rest a whole day.

          And they had to reset the simulation at least once because of all the bad behaviors.

          Procedural, law based world generation is the trademark of a lazy and experienced god.

          Story with that premise:

  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
