Makes sense that the only good thing to come out of Animaniacs was copied from something else.

"Gross" is touching a slug. This guy is some other adjective entirely.

Reply to TIL in 1962 a General Electric engineer named Nick Holonyak developed the first LED light bulb capable of emitting visible red light. The same bulb was used in the 1964 stop animation animated TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Rudolph’s bioluminescent nose. by undergroundgeek
You know the author of that article must be a zoomer if she refers to an oldschool LED as a "bulb". Nobody ever called them that until very recently.

>When you make changes to the world, the seed is changed to make sure the change you made appears the next time.
Okay stop, this is complete ignorant nonsense. That's not how seeds work. You're proposing some sort of mechanism that could losslessly compress several hundred K of arbitrary data into a single number. Not only is that not how Minecraft works, it's literally impossible.
How Minecraft actually works is that a chunk is generated once when it's initially discovered, then written to disk. Any subsequent changes to that block are written to the save file.

Reply to TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87
That's a lot of British Telecoms.
