Looks like the whole thing got cut off. So I’ll just paste it here. Gniess_Name is just a geologist, named after a rock, who enjoys talking about rocks in block game and all statements should be taken as strictly his opinion and not a guaranteed scientific fact. Gniess Inc. is not responsible for any arguments or altercations you may get into from repeating any of these opinions, on the internet or otherwise. Geology is also a completely independent science from Paleontology, Geography, Archaeology, and Anthropology, and as such Gneiss’s authority to make claims about such topics is by no means completely scientific or official. He didn’t even write this himself, he had me, his anthropology and Linguistics majoring daughter write all of this for him. Honestly I’m not even sure he is going to read all of this, though of course you, his loving and adoring fans who have paused the video to read this are. Comment “***” down below to prove that you actually saw this. To prove that Gneiss will not read this I will now insult him: Gneiss name constantly smells like limestone, pencil shavings, and the inside of a Menards. I mean its not a bad smell, but its impressive how a human being can just naturally smell like a lumberjack and a sculptor decided to attempt to create life on their own, and then it actually worked! Anyways I just saw spiderverse, no spoilers dont worry, but did you know that in most animation, characters are animated either every frame, or every other frame (on the ones, or on the twos) when compared to the background. But when animating spider-punk, they decided to emphasis his distaste for consistency and conformity, and animated him and his body on the threes (with exceptions depending on the circumstances) So he is actually being animated at a completely different ratio and frame rate than the rest of the characters, thus effectively setting him apart. His guitar, interestingly enough, is animated on the fours! meaning it is not only animated on an entirely different layer from himself, its not even moving on the same frames, making his animation even more purposefully discordant when compared to the rest of the film. I’ve already seen the movie twice in theaters, and I’ve seen the first one 5 1/2 times, its such a good film. If you haven’t seen it you gotta check it out. While I’m plugging things I’m gonna talk about Wheel of Time since I’m almost done reading the series in its entirety. No spoilers again, don’t worry instead I’m gonna be talking about the Old Tongue. The Old Tongue is the language spoken by the people during the age of legends. It is now only learned by nobles, historians, and performers, or people magically gifted in understanding it. As far as what languages from our world it resembles, it reminds me of Welsh, and Old English. Well I started a little bit of a project, as an aspiring Linguist I wanted to translate some sentences into the Old Tongue. But when I started looking for canonical translations I noticed we only knew 500 words on the Old Tongue. Now, that may sound like a lot but its really not that much when you start to translate it. There weren’t even a full set of pronouns, or a form of greeting or goodbye. So I set about to add words to the Old Tongue, by utilizing my “linguistical knowledge” and the root words of modern english words, from old english to determine what Old tongue words I would combine to create a new word. Either that or utilizing the canonical prefixes and suffixes that we have access to and again combining those with existing words in the old tongue to create something new. For example there was no word in the Old Tongue for “brave” so I took the suffix for not “inde” and the word for fear “daghain” and combined them to created “daghainde” which would literally translate to “fearless” but shares enough of a meaning with “brave” to work. I’ve also had to sort of do this backwards. I had the word for lost “niente” but so I had to create the word for lose “nien” Then I added the suffix “nen” meaning “one who does” to create the word for loser “nienen” I also added the prefix “de” meaning “action” basically making a word into a verb, for the word losing “denien” It has gotten to the point that I am familiar enough with the Old Tongue that I can understand the basic meaning of most sentences in the Old Tongue without looking up the translations first. Maybe I should count that as my second language instead of Mandarin. In conclusion, take everything that Mr. Gniess, the current CEO of Gniess Inc. (until I find a way to depose him and martial control over his adoring fans) with a grain of salt. But be careful. If you get too much of that salt in your hands he, as a geologist, will approach you and lick it. In case that scenario happens remember to keep your palm flat like you are feeding a horse. We don’t need anyone accidentally loosing fingers. Stay safe out there. And thank you for reading.
You jokingly suggest the possibility of a horse being a predator, but if they were carnivorous, they'd be terrifying persistence hunters. They have a lot of the same adaptations humans do that allow us to run for a long time, such as the ability to sweat. These allowed early humans to outlast anything that's able to only outspeed them in shorter bursts, such as gazelle. They'd catch up once their prey inevitably has to stop to catch their breath, as they can't do so while sprinting. Not a lot can outspeed a horse, but they can likely outlast almost anything that can.
@@Gandhi_Physique Horses, as well as many other herbivorous ungulates (large hooved mammals, e.g. cows, deer, pigs) are “opportunistically carnivorous”, meaning that although they don’t require meat for nutrition, and don’t exhibit any hunting behaviors, they will sometimes eat meat if it is provided to them such as by human feeders or a predator’s abandoned carcass. Sometimes they may even kill for meat if given a very easy opportunity to do so, such as when a chick walks in front of a feeding horse.
in Warhammer 40k the Death Korps of Krieg bioengineered hairless, carnivorous horses with cloven hooves and special organs that release supermeth and supercrack to make them completely immune to pain and fear. And in Greek myths, there was a king who had carnivorous horses that ended up eating him and he would feed his enemies to them
I had wanted to be a geologist when I was a kid, but when I was told that the most likely jobs I would end up getting as one would be in the oil industry, I decided that despite my love of rocks, I'd rather not be a geologist.
Not sure why everyone thinks that all geologists work in oil. There are a ton of geologists doing engineering geology and risk assessment for construction companies. Lots working in preparing for natural disasters, or for assessing environmental damage. Plenty more work in mining and mineral extraction. It's a very very broad field.
bro same i was flailing for a major and was like "i like geology and i can code, what if cimputational geology", and it turned out to be simulations of seismic reflections of oil bearing strata i dropped out 💀
It is unfortunate that you and many other people got that impression, because it is completely untrue, and is actually the driver behind many universities cutting funding for geology departments and geological research, ironically pigeonholing the focus of geology courses towards the energy industry even more since that’s what they perceive students would be interested in rather than any other area of geology. The fact is geology is an extremely broad field, and people have a whole lot more use for the study of the planet we live on (and in some cases, other planets) than merely petroleum and oil. There are surveyors who gather information for mapping companies, geoengineers who asses the ground upon which buildings are constructed and plan for natural disasters, geochemists who help analyze groundwater and reservoirs that feed whole cities for radium and other mineral contaminants, geologists who work with soil for agricultural interests, hydrogeologists who work with dams on rivers and asses coastal communities, and all of that barely scratches the surface of everything geologists do. It’s not just “mostly oil and gas”, and if Mr. Gneiss is reading this exchange I really hope that he goes into this subject more in subsequent episodes and dispels this unfortunate idea for the benefit of everyone interested in this wonderful science.
An unsung thing about your videos is the builds themselves. You do well! They look very nice. I like the big soil and rock cutaway early on, but maybe that's because I'm a bit of a dirt nerd. I warned you about the stones, bro.
My dad and uncle are geologists and in now studying geology. It took me a long time to realize most people don’t understand what geology is since I’ve been learning it my whole life
so... about those 2 other episodes... i'm interested in your explanation of what geology is, but i'm especially interested in why geology is not well understood by the public. i looked at the newer videos on your channel and none of them look like these other 2 episodes... 🤔 but... in a more recent video you just made a verbal commitment to a much larger string of videos about all the different kinds of ores in game... 🤔
Yeah, I wanted to get the other two of these done soon after this one but there was a bunch of other topics I also wanted to do and figured I could get done quickly. So not it’s been longer than I would like but this and the ore episodes will be done.
@@gneissname nod, i'm just teasing. i realize that producing videos is way more work than we non-creators can understand. i worry a little, on your behalf, that you're over-committing. watch out for burn out... seems like every creator is exhausted these days. 💚
While geology is an interesting subject, combining it with Minecraft to explain topics seems interesting and entertaining to me, it makes me feel like I'm on a museum tour. They should put these videos in schools so that children don't get bored and learn something. "I warned you about stones bro."
I warned you about the stones bro.. Also, the presentation in this was fantastic man. Good work. I do wonder though, do you worry/are you kinda running out of content ideas? Not being a geologist, I just kinda feel like there isn't much more to talk about. Idk though, just curious.
I have thought about it but it’s not really something I’m worried about. There are plenty of the natural blocks to talk about still and more will be added probably. There is world generation and discussing natural processes that make the earth. Things like rivers and mountains to volcanos etc. there is a lot more to do with the geologic timeline display that I would want to do as well. It would also be cool to talk about some planetary geology. I could also talk about the biological, and archeological part of the game as well. Maybe dealing with the fictional game world history. I have a lot of things in mind for the color stuff I do as well and then I have actually playing the game that I like to make videos for too.
@@gneissname That's fair. There are plenty of geologic events and phenomena I didn't think about I guess. Well, I'm excited to see what you present next. Thanks for the content.
Study biology = biologist Study geology = geologist Study archeology = archeologist Study metallurgy = metallurgist Study anthropology = anthropologist Study paleontology = paleontologist Study geography = geographer What? Is geography an action rather than a specialization? If it's an action, "graphing earth," then why do we have another word for someone who does that: cartographer?
Palaeontology does seem to be very interlinked with geology. Correct me if my perception is wrong there but a lot of materials we non-geologists would consider "stone" are made of things that have once been alive. On the other hand, life itself was, obviously, formed by what was there before, the materials and their distribution. Also: I warned you about the stones bro
I wouldn't say Geography is completely separate from geology. I'd say all of this falls under geography. Geography is where anthropology, economics, some of sociology, geology, seismology, meteorology, & basically all these other ones fall under it. at least that's how it works in schools in the UK. All my knowledge of these topics comes from my geography GCSE & A-level. What is geography proper then as it mustn't really be taught in the UK or at the very least the backwater of Northern Ireland under the exam board CCEA (which I hate-love as its such a wierd board but then again its the board I know best but I prefer the welsh one as they have really nice UMS & really nice time I don't even need my extra time in them despite what my Mum forced me to do sat for what an hour extra Edit: oh you explain it. 4:53 but still I guess that we just teach these things only in geographic studies & due to that well we kinda need more actual geology to be taught.
oh no, i am very much so not well informed, i know next to nothing about the subject!! but i hope you have a good time here in Australia!!!!!!!!! my beautiful home!!!
It’s been fun. I recorded a few of these episodes before I left. I have spent the last month working around the finders ranges and now I’m back in Adelaide to relax. Going to visit Melbourne and Tasmania before heading back home. It’s been great and really enjoyed everything so far.
@@gneissname damn nowhere near me so i cant say if those places are cool or not, canberra is nice, i can personally confirm, so if in 18 million years you go there then it has bingus seal of approval, also youre cool!!!!
I never realised paleontologists were cross-disciplinary by nature, I always figured anything they shared with other fields was just from the overlap that comes from the different sciences. I hope you have a nice time in Australia. Hopefully you don't get into any trouble that makes someone say "I warned you about the stones, bro."
I've never commented on one of your videos before, but I felt a sudden inexplicable urge to let you know how much I appreciate your content! As a fellow geologist, I've never taken Minecraft geology seriously, since on the face of it it's so unrealistic, but your extremely clever attempts to try and apply real-life science to Minecraft are really fun to see. Also I'm sure you get this a LOT -- but I just wanted to say you have a very Gneiss Name
As a geographer, I can say that geography spends a lot of time walking the line between the natural and social sciences. The discipline can be broadly divided into three subdisciplines: physical geography, human geography, and technical geography. Physical geography is pretty squarely a natural science, and is generally what most people would likely associate with geography: studying things like rivers, mountains, the weather/climate, soil, and other characteristics of a place. They might be interested in what sort of conditions made this site a place where horses and humans cohabitated. Human geography leans more towards the social science end of the spectrum, and looks at things like populations of people, and how their cultures interact. A human geographer might be interested in where the human learned to use or kill horses. Did they learn it from a neighboring society? Technical geography is a cross-pollination of geography and computer science. Technical geographers are the discipline that power things like Google Maps and Pokemon GO. They probably wouldn't be interested in the horse and human themselves, but the site and its attributes would be part of a larger database used to draw broader conclusions about the hunting patterns of early humans. That said, this seems like a really good series to make and I'm looking forward to the next episodes. I'm glad there's someone like you out there analyzing minecraft in this way, because I think it's a really interesting way to look at how the public (specifically Minecraft developers, who are generally not earth scientists) views these disciplines.
1:00 that made me think of the missile copypasta xD The geology knows what it is at all times. It knows this because it knows what it isn't, by subtracting what it is, from what it isn't, or what it isn't, from what it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the geology from a position what it is, to a position what it isn't, and arriving at a position what it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position what it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position what it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between what the geology is, and what it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the geology must also know what it was. The geology guidance computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the geology has obtained, it is not sure just what it is, however it is sure what it isn't, within reason, and it knows what it was. It now subracts what it should be, from what it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum of what it shouldn't be, and what it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called "stone"
1. I warned you abour those stones, bro." 2. Ending of wheel of time is fantastic, Sanderson did great completing Robert Jordan's work 3. Can generally recommend any of Sanderson's books, particularly in the cosmere. Actually kind of double recommend because of world-themes adjacent to geology in both Mistborn and the Stormlight archive. 4. Ever jealous of the students that make it to Nasa?
Hey I am in university for Geology, and thanks for making your channel there’s not a lot of people on RU-vid who talk about it! I appreciate it, and you have helped me improve my knowledge!
Gneiss Inc is not responsible for any arguments or alterations you may get into from repeating any of these opinions... ANYWAYS I just saw spiderverse I warned you about the stones bro
I understand this is a joke but I am making my own joke too, every one even me I typed this copied statement from above, the one you replied to. (iam too lazy to read all that) anyways hope you have a good day😊
i warned you about the stones bro as someone who is planning on studying gemology after finnishing his study in social work, i have to say that geology has even deeper subclasses, like minerology, gemology crystology. (ok i made that last one up, but it just shows that there could be a specific study for almost each type of rock)
Hey, loving your videos! If you wanna try something similar to minecraft I recommend Vintage Story - it's a lot more survival focused, but, more relevant to the channel, has more pretty serious worldgen simulating geological processes, with distinct sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous stones, geological provinces, etc. It's really worth a look!
I kind of feel like there might be three kinds of sciences. Natural sciences which deal with natural processes: Physics, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, medicine, astronomy, geology, and geography; Social sciences which deal with the behaviors of sentient beings: Psychology, sociology, history, archeology, literature, theology, ethics, and economics; Abstract sciences which deal with things that can be abstractly true: Maths, logic, philosophy, informatics, information theory, even music theory and architecture
