#SimplePlanes trends

Dev joeysellers  8.0 years ago

I think this is mildly amusing, and maybe you will, too. Every so often, I'll search for #SimplePlanes on social media, to see what our players are sharing. My feed is filled with images of your designs, videos or gifs, and just general observations about the game itself. However, there are also a few inspirational quotes, or motivational talk, sprinkled in the mix.

For example: "If you never try, you'll never know. #SimplePlanes" and "We will never say goodbye #summerparadise #simpleplanes"

At first, I wondered why there were encouraging posts like this. Do you know why? Well, I think I figured it out. Some people do not how to spell "SimplePlans" or just type in an extra 'e' by mistake.

I find it amusing, that people will give our game a shout-out when appreciating a day's hike in beautiful nature or contemplating which came first: the chicken or the egg.

    @joeysellers I must disagree with you, but I agree to end this conversation. As it has gotten far from the original post.

    @MrTaco I respectfully disagree.
    .
    Not every theist believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible. For example, consider the Catholic church. They don't see the Bible as the hand-written transcription of God's word-for-word interview with the latest human prophet. They believe that the Bible is merely a collection of books, written by fallible men who were inspired by their faith and beliefs, and that within some of these writings you can discover the Word of God. They also believe in evolution, and interpret some books of the Bible as poetry, allegory, or metaphor. Hope this helps.
    .
    This is an interesting discussion, but since this conversation has deviated WILDLY from the original off-topic post about misspelled hashtags on social media, I think it best that I bow out of any more of this. Peace! :)

    If God created life through evolution, then it must have been billions of years ago. If it were only 4000B.C. when God created life, then evolution wouldn't be the case because then we would clearly see changes over time which we have yet to see. If you believe God created life and you believe the earth is billions of years old, then you can't believe in the Bible which clearly states a contradiction between the two. Bottom line is if you believe in God then you must believe in the Bible. If you believe in evolution then you can't believe in the Bible. The Bible is God's word, and if it's a lie then God is a lie because according to the Bible God can't lie.@joeysellers

    @joeysellers you can't believe in both because both theories contradict each other.

    @MrTaco Some people believe in both.

    Which came first chicken or the egg? It depends on wether you believe in evolution or creationism. If it was evolution then the egg came first. If it's creationism then God created the chicken first. So asking that question kinda forces you to either state wether you believe in evolution or creationism. @AwesomeDesign717 @joeysellers @KingDeadshot

    @joeysellers maybe the dinosaur was too chicken, so it evolved into a chicken.

    @joeysellers The half-evolved chicken came first.

    To be technical, in regards to biological evolution, the egg comes first. A species does not make a discernible "leap" to another species, such as a dinosaur laying an egg that hatches a chicken. They evolve over time.
    .
    Consider having a picture of yourself taken every day for your entire life. Which photograph can you point at as the exact moment when you matured from a child to an adult? Just as you change very little from day to day, but years or even decades apart, you look very much different, as it is with the many generations of the species.
    .
    The egg came first. The chicken is just what we call the current incarnation of that species.

    @KingDeadshot but when you eat an egg you eat the contents not the shell...

    @KingDeadshot it depends what you define an egg as. Do you define it as the shell or the shell and the embryo?

    @KingDeadshot yes but the first chicken egg came before the first chicken. It was not lain by a chicken, but the chicken's ancestor. Out of it, hatched the chicken.
    In fact, you could argue that the chicken still existed inside the egg as a foetus. I'm not too sure about the internal structure of a chicken but it's really just wether the embryo or the shell is formed first. I think it might be the embryo but I'm not too sure.

    @KingDeadshot Actually, I'm pretty sure the egg came first. Chickens aren't the only animals that lay eggs, and chickens weren't around when their dinosaur ancestors were struttin' around!

    This is so weird! Yesterday I was bored and searching users on google, when I stumbled upon screenshots posted on Twitter about Spefyjerbf's cargo ship. And coincidentally you posted this now... so weird
