That's even more useless than useless! They belong in the Absolutely Useless Patterns Not Worthy Of Patterns Thread :!:
I don't see the difference between this thread and the "Absolutely Useless Patterns Not Worthy Of Patterns Thread" thread. Could you clarify for me? Thanks

P.S. How is it even logically possible to be "more useless than useless"?

This thread is for patterns that are technically useless (because they don't quite work, and can't be salvaged, e.g. oscillators that work except for a single cell in the middle that can't possibly be saved, or a collisions of gliders coming in from places they could not possibly reach without interacting first, or a conduit that goes through some impressive Rube-Goldberg machinations to miraculously reform its components, but in the wrong place, etc., guns that construct spaceships that don't quite escape the gun, or that fire inwards, destroying the mechanism, etc., but nevertheless are impressive enough to be interesting or amusing. Real-life analogs might include blooper reels from movies, or examples of failed architecture (e.g. sinks with electrical outlets inside).

The thread for "Absolutely Useless Patterns No Worthy of Patterns Thread", on the other hand, is for patterns that, in addition to being useless, are also not interesting to most people either. Real-life analogs might include a art made by a dog smearing paint on a canvas, or a video of a tone-deaf person attempting to sing karaoke.

It might be easier to understand if the two threads were "Useless and interesting patterns" and "Useless and uninteresting patterns".

2 glider + long boat = block

I found this interesting because the reflected glider travelling SouthEast gets "caught" by the sparks which eventually form the block.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

Note that the two final pulsars are made from a common collision of two nearby honeyfarms. While the first pulsar is just about to complete, a second pulsar is forming from two similar honeyfarms, but is destroyed early.

And around the same time another prepulsar predecessor (gen 73 to be exact) is made, survives for a few generations, then is destroyed, bringing the total number of obvious pulsar predecessors to six.


Edit: actually seven since there is a prepulsar that forms at gen 61.

At generation 159, the reaction is a pre-pulsar with two mozarts.

I once read a story about the development of Microsoft Word. One engineer was tasked with writing a function to return the height in pixels of a line of text. He wrote the function to just return an arbitrary constant value. This was incorrect, but that was an issue that was discovered subsequently during debugging, and correcting bugs was some other engineer's problem.
