hey look up "[your birth month(in numbers not words)][your birth day] pokemon". if it's over 1025 remove the last digit. that's you as a pokemon now what did you get
theres something so funny to me when hermits are talking about redstone and theyre like "and then theres an etho hopper clock here-"
like. of course they use etho hopper clocks, itd be weirder if they actively avoided using it, considering its like. a redstone thingy that is very useful and still works even after all this time, and from what i understand it was like. a pretty big deal in terms of useful things you could do with redstone back when he first made it because it opened up ways to do even more things with redstone
and like for the most part theyve probably been referring to that particular thing as an etho hopper clock for longer than theyve even known etho personally, considering the etho hopper clock predates his joining hermitcraft by at least 1-2 years, and several of the other hermits joining hermitcraft by even more. so of course they still call it that
on a related note, most of them likely had at least heard of etho before meeting him, even if they didnt personally watch him (tho i know some did) since he was an old school minecraft youtuber. like his original season 1 of "lets play minecraft" started when minecraft was so new it hadnt been officially released yet. literally back in minecraft alpha. he was a minecraft youtuber OG
so with those two points taken into consideration it completely makes sense that "etho hopper clock" is something ingrained into the terminology of anyone that does stuff with redstone somewhat regularly. theres no reason it wouldnt be
but when you put it into contrast with like. their actual interactions with etho. it kind of cracks me up???
its like. in my head the vibes are this: imagine building something and being like "okay guys, for this machine we need to use an archimedes screw, which is named of course after its inventor archimedes, a man so genius that to this day he is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors and mathematicians to ever walk this earth" and then like thirty minutes later you go to a restaurant and you see archimedes, of classic antiquity fame, trying to eat a sandwich but the ingredients keep falling out in increasingly comedic manners. so you of course call him pathetic to his face, and then ask if he wants to try out your new totally-not-a-scam product that you carry on you at all times for opportunities like these. and for some reason he doesnt just say yes, but buys two
[image ID: two images. the first is a tweet from Docm77. It reads “For some reason my logo suggestion for my shop was turned down. Can’t imagine why.”
The second is a screenshot of the hermitcraft discord chat, which was attached to the tweet. Doc shares a link to a Belmarzi tweet suggesting a “Big Wood” logo that is deliberately designed so the text is subtly shaped like a dick. The hermits respond:
Hypno: oh my
GeminiTay: [a pepe emote that is sweating with a :| expression, holding up a red sign that says ‘NO’]
Smallishbeans: that’s actually a really clever logo design, completely inappropriate but kinda genius
Docm77: yeah, super genius, lol
Xisuma: [a picard facepalm reaction gif] omg… i was wondering what the big deal was? Took me forever to see it
Docm77: lol
ZombieCleo: That’s a merch logo if I ever saw one /end ID]
putting this on the list with “iskalls villagers” as one of my favorite images of hermit communication of all time i am laughing so much at all of these responses,
