Go to the buffet after church. You're in your best. The haircut you have is like your wife's, but yours is a toupee. Hers is held aloft by so much hairspray that it's a fire hazard. Your daughter is still in her daughter/daddy purity ball dress. The purity rings are low quality metal, but you know a machinist and you'll have your high quality material. You know the machinist personally. The one who degloved his hand that one time? Well he has another hand and he gave your daughter something that won't ever be fitted to her finger and it slides around, occasionally falling off. Good steel though. American steel. Her purity ball dress is too tight. Your pride and joy son is doomed to become the president of the United States one day. And because it'll be 2067 by that point, it'll be from the back of a technical as he shouts to a starving crowd through a microphone because most of the US is underwater, seceding or irradiated.

You're feeling a little queasy and wonder if that tuna casserole tasted off or not. Your stomach roils. Now you're a man of the world. You've been outside of the county once to the capital to show off your prized hog and got fourth place. And you know never to trust a fart, but just this once you do. And thump, right in the tidy whities.

That's the face you make when you poo poo your pants at the family photo at the country buffet. And because you're so practical, you never throw the picture away. It cost you fifteen dollars and you're not wasting that.

Goons describing the many, varied, ridiculous bugs in dwarf fortress will never not be incredible.

egg tats posted:

everyone always talks about the cats getting drunk bug, and they should because it's a funny story, but no one ever talks about my favorite bug: the time Toady put in the wrong values when he was setting minerals melting and evaporation points, so he loaded up a save and the entire ground immediately puffed away into a cloud of steam

scamtank posted:

didn't watch that, did they mention the update that had geese laying eggs that were actually iron thrones

Vengarr posted:

Someone in the Rimworld thread mentioned accidentally changing the boiling point of blood to the point where dwarves would literally explode when exposed to sunlight. Limbs and beards flying everywhere.

Shady Amish Terror posted:

The history of DF bugs is unbelievably wild and immense, especially if you use the expanded definition of 'bug' to include 'features that were intended but had unintended consequences which should have been obvious'. Originally, dwarves that created artifacts would haul them around possessively for a period of time that extended from 'a few months' to 'indefinitely', which is all well and good when they make an artifact andesite ring, but would lead the creators of artifact lead floodgates to frequently starve trying to drag their perfect, immaculate lodestone from place to place.

-Then there was the time dwarves were completely, consistently eating poo poo in combat because it turns out the math was wrong and they were half or less the size they were actually supposed to be.

-More recently there was Toady adding riding mounts, but it turns out that that worked by sending commands into their psyche and so undead mounts couldn't be controlled because there was no soul into which to input your riding commands.

-Occasionally monsters that took over civilizations would, as citizens of that civilization, grant you quests to destroy the monster that took over that civilization. (Proposing to call this 'pulling a Roger Muirebe')

-Then there was loyalty cascades, that might or might not be finally fully fixed, where kinslaying within a civ could set off a rage-virus cascade of conflicted loyalties (since the aggressor would become an enemy of your civ and then be attacked by members of your civ but then because they're a member of your civ that would make those that attacked them an enemy of your civ but also an enemy of theirs so you'd have factional civil wars).

-Then there was the time the boiling point of fat got set too low so everybody's fat boiled out and sloughed out onto the ground at the start of every embark, leaving wounded, fatless, but still-living dwarves.

-Then there was the time that some material (some specific kind of wood, I think) had an ignition temp set too low so sometimes your wagon would flashpoint into a raging inferno on embark.

-Then there was the period of time that the 'restricted' pathing weight literally made tiles inaccessible to the pathing algorithm, and since all entities follow the path weights (including invaders), you could make your fortress completely safe from invasion by sternly telling the opposing army that they weren't allowed in.

-Then there were the oft-previously-discussed undead sponges that could still charge and crush dwarves with their immense mass while being totally immune to beheading and thus, at the time, immortal.

-Then there was the period of time early in the 3d builds where you could embark on existing sites and steal all their stuff (or sap an enemy goblin tower by establishing a dwarven camp at the base and undermining it)

Hell, most of us have probably experienced bugs which we couldn't quite figure out how to even report and haven't seen or experienced since. One of my fortresses was attacked by a dragon that, after killing half the population and setting several fires, settled down and became a permanent, essentially neutral inhabitant that often hung out in the hospital or dining hall and which mutually ignored my dwarves.

Shady Amish Terror posted:

Also remembered how much I loved that a military unit that fell onto a spike could, at very low odds, critically succeed and successfully dodge, parry, or block the spike with a shield or armor. Since fall damage ramped up massively with distance, and experience rewarded was commensurate with the blow averted, this would instantly lead the unit to being something like Legendary+12 in whatever skill was used to escape death. Throwing your military conscripts off a cliff until one of them successfully developed superpowers and blocked the entire earth was a legitimate shortcut to power.

So Math posted:

If you're bringing up the mount code, you have to mention that dwarves carrying their babies were considered as mounts on the first iteration. So, the parent would follow the pathing AI of the baby (crawl on the floor randomly), until they starved to death.

An earlier version of the simulation knew what parts go in a body, but not where they are located. It was possible to pierce both a dwarf's eyes with a singe arrow and cause no other injuries. The game was calculating chance to hit for each individual body part, which also meant that dwarves who were already missing body parts were better at dodging attacks.

started out as an innocent question about efficiently finding diamonds in minecraft

Pollyanna posted:

Is there a better way to find diamonds in vanilla than by digging down to Y12 and strip mining in a single direction? I've easily spent an hour and a half and have only found a couple.

pseudorandom name posted:

You don't have to strip mine, if you dig out parallel 1x2 tunnels separated by two blocks you will see every ore cluster you intersect. (And then when you move vertically to dig a second layer of tunnels, you stagger the tunnels one block horizontally.)

Pollyanna posted:

Well, by strip mining, I specifically mean the 1x2 tunnel. Though I haven't been making them like that...I'll see if I can adjust!

A Fancy Hat posted:

I know Japan, okay, I know it EXTREMELY well and they love me over there. I fed the fish, did you see this? I fed the fish and that's not... nobody else is allowed to do that, or even WAS allowed to do that, before me. And there was so much more, of course, that they... they took me under the ground, underground they call it, to a wonderful place. A very magical place but instead of magic, you might say it was something else. And that was technology.

There was a guy there, straight out of central casting with the glasses, who watched everything. And they took me around and they said "Sir, please don't touch anything." And I didn't, not a thing, but then the wonderful robot woke up and started screaming. And I said "Wow, that's... that's technology. Is that steam?" and it wasn't, it was something else, I believe.... they told me they put a human in there, they "Plug" him in and a wonderful liquid flows over him, although it's not the wonderful liquid that I love so much.

*SnffFFFTTT*

But they get you wet, you're in the plug, and then you go fight. Do the fight. "He's fighting against the angels now" is a thing you might normally say at a funeral, perhaps, but they were saying it every day, and the angels were.... they looked like crystals or perhaps like a young boy that you fall very deeply in love with, in a very unique way. So now? I see all of this and then they take me very deep down, and I'm in there and I see a guy, big guy, and they literally crucified him. He's been crucified by the FAKE NEWS JAPANESE MEDIA and they even stuck a thing in him, and he's wearing a mask. Dr. Fauci would love this guy, wouldn't he folks? But so.... well.... some things happened, some things happened to some people. And then everyone started clapping for me and said "Congratulations!" and I said "Say it again" and then some more people were saying "Congratulations."

And of course, the whole time, there was a wonderful girl with the blue hair, who may have been.... I think she may have been the mother as well. I don't.... some of it was very confusing. But that was Japan, they love me over there.

I have heard that sperm can survive stomach acid and penetrate the walls of the digestive system, although it's very rare. In any case they can occasionally get past the walls of the anus and find their way to the reproductive organs one way or another.

It's also possible to get pregnant from oral. Again, it's super rare, but I remember there's at least one case of it happening a few years ago that got mentioned on the news.

I cannot say for sure how much of this is lies and ignorant stupidity told to me by my lovely abstinence-only high school sex ed.
