We’re Obsessed With Cookie Clicker - Safety Third 95

[@D-Arora]

Can we get Technology Connections on the show sometime? I can already imagine the obscure rabbit holes in that episode

[@sarahjrandomnumbers]

Safety Third x Alec would be an awesome episode, and now he seems to be open to collabs, 2024 is looking brighter for this collab.

[@cjoe5977]

he was at opensauce

[@bwoods311]

That would be awesome!

[@FasutonemuMyoji]

So safety third in Chicago when? He's not going to fly to the west coast, or they could being back the Zoom call format for one episode, that would be cool. (Maybe Nigel or Bernard would show up if they dumped the dumpster for a few recordings)

[@DangerousDac]

Star Trek Fleet Command has made more money since it launched than the entire fucking movie franchise has.

[@cubedbeany6199]

you kidding please tell me you are joking

[@MehmetDogan-du4tv]

nah bro, games make mad cash@@cubedbeany6199

[@DKF_oli]

i’m just dumbfounded because WHO is playing these games? raid as well. like actually getting into the game and spending money???

[@theminecraft4202]

27:00 Jabril's game idea already exists it's called YOMI Hustle and it's very fun

[@joshdingle930]

that's exactly what I was thinking of. I was like wait a minute this game already exists

[@novalights15]

literally paying it as he was talking about it thought i was going crazy

[@crackedgamerdude3852]

Yeah that game goes crazy

[@skateruwu]

I was thinking of tori bash but yomi hustle looks so much better Edit: lol of course they mention tori bash as soon as I unpause the video

[@rcoder01]

Also checkmate showdown

[@cigaretteburp]

Best episode yet! I liked the part at 1:08:35 where Allen looked directly into the camera and stated my full name, address and his plan to slaughter my wife and children!

[@malllc2]

loved that part

[@droppedpasta]

William doesn’t know the difference between a spade and a shovel, but DOES know the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist. Huh

[@MoiJsuisTropBeauPourToi]

@slow_riding4225 underrated comment right here

[@TheBrandNewICumEverywhere]

POV: you modded minecraft back in the day@slow_riding4225

[@gljames24]

What's the line between spade and trowel?

[@MoiJsuisTropBeauPourToi]

probably@slow_riding4225

[@iambear.6526]

*** Shovel 8-----D Spade 8-----[ ] @slow_riding4225

[@HDMICIDE]

7:34 I dont even listen to this podcast that much but this is the second time i heard allen talking about someone hes eskimo brothers with

[@jacewhite8540]

Kevins cookbook app sounds like an actual warcrime to put out, and I want it so much. Like I would actually get into chemistry if such a thing existed.

[@tigerdevon]

17:42 Nobody tell Allen about PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator...

[@cleverusername7820]

Jabril's chess fighting game sounds a lot like the game Your Only Move Is Hustle. Great game that kinda flew under the radar. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't!

[@savory_]

I love that game, so fun. I hate fighting games because of how fast they are but YOMI Hustle makes it a strategy game.

[@Dpedersen35]

Came down to the comments to make sure someone else mentioned this. Jabril is just describing YOMIH

[@dylan10182000]

God YOMI Hustle is so goated

[@bastian1870]

Was looking for this comment, I knew I had seen a game exactly like it when he was describing it.

[@ramavabray]

40:57 I heated up the area under my desk like 15 degrees by folding proteins during the last cold snap here. My feet were cold so I downloaded the app.

[@malik740]

Tim Cain , the original developer of Fallout , Arcanum and to some extend involved in Outer Worlds started a youtube channel called 'Timothy Cain' and he talks about the game industry and his experience there as he literally straight up for more than 40 years was only involved in the game industry. He is very friendly and lives also in California I believe so maybe you can get him on the podcast? I swear watch some of his Videos, that man is so humble and has so interesting storys Im sure its worth your time :)

[@tlpthx]

You can actually have the captcha be whatever you want and it doesn't matter what the user inputs. Recaptcha can determine if you are a bot by your behaviour, not by the answer. That's why some captchas are just a checkbox.

[@scrubbybubkinz5264]

12:18 that's just Vampire survivors lol Design was basically lifted from a mobile game and guy used his history with designing slots too make it hella addictive

[@Werdna12345]

Kevin’s chemistry game for sure

[@ClimbingEasy]

1:12:48 Yup Feb 2... totally on time

[@spartenz14]

1:02:08 is actually how they made the first nuke. So many people who were on the Manhattan Project didn't know what they were doing lol

[@NicholasRehm]

Jabrils is such a cool dude with such an interesting background

[@papabaddad]

Candy crush is like game junk food. It isn't good, it just has a bunch of fat and sugar, so your brain lights up

[@sztefn]

1:01:45 thers a black mirror episode thats similar to this, where a bunch of random people are unknowingly helping in a robbery (at least thats what i think it was). The main difference though was that they werent paid but blackmailed

[@zilog1]

protogens go beep boop

[@amazingbutno5303]

Idk why you commented this but you have made my day a little better

[@OccasionalHaHa]

35:45 Are you talking about Bobby Fingers again? That shit's great!

[@jabug_1144]

Oh yea I subbed to that dude. He rules

[@parksplays1073]

This might be the most interesting episode of safety third yet

[@uberfuzzy]

~24:00 That was the cheaper handheld knockoff of the original (and more chonky) Barcode Battler. And if you want a good technical rabbit hole to get lost down there is actually pretty extensive documentation and reverse engineering done into the game and how it used the barcode format and how the barcode data was used differently based on how you were using it (as a monster vs as an offense/weapon vs a defensive/armor)

[@ReeseHosgood]

This video was actually really funny. I think Will's app with the peanut butter & dogs would be the most fun so I voted for that. i also found the part at 1:06:39 pretty funny.

[@CS0723]

I dont know much about Jabrils other than the fact that i love seeing him on the podcast. Consistently an a+ guest

[@zackmarkham4240]

Raid: Shadow Legends is also developed by a game studio that is owned and was created by a casino. That's all I need to know to never want to play it, not that I did before I learned that. I mean, Candy Crush is just Bejeweled but with candy. There's no way it was hard to make. Also, Microtransaction have been in Halo since ODST and Halo 3, just saying. Billiam did a long-form video of him using one of those Monster Scanner toys all around Orlando, Florida. It was a fun watch. All of his stuff is fun watches, though. Also, the generation after Z/Zoomer is already named and has members, gen Alpha.

[@nicorovertsthesecond9069]

As a psych grad student: Psychs don't really manipualte any more. Psychs want people to stop seeing them because a successful client leaves with all the skills to be their own therapist. The most addictice behavioural reinforcement is variable ratio reinforcement. This is what most apps/ casinos/ toxic people etc. use. Also, rip Will for perking up when docking is mentioned. 😂 Enjoying the podcast still, keep up the good work lads. 😊

[@MarcosLaureano-r2l]

8:54 many weird online magazine articles often use odd numbers (like 17) to list things because it’s more likely to get clicked on

[@loganjsmith_]

The Star Trek mobile game is genuinely addicting. I’ve fallen too far, and its a black hole of dopamine hits. At a point it turns into a full time job to some people, or a way to make friends. I would definitely agree with the progression being logarithmic, fast at first and progressively slower. It’s called Star Trek Fleet Command, and this *totally* isn’t my cry for help. Please yall I’ve been playing since 7th grade and im bouta go to college. It’s been like 6 years

[@DampeS8N]

Threes is better that 2048 but it was free and Threes cost money.

[@joshuanelson4559]

The app Kevin is describing is kinda like the website super cook, you put in your ingredients and it’ll tell you recipes you can make

[@kittycatcaoimhe]

38:15 this does exist (or at least did at one point) where it would put ads on your lockscreen. The payout rate was abysmally low though lmao

[@CS0723]

14:41 yet ANOTHER timestamp of Allen being effortlessly hilarious

[@Buy-n-large]

Jabrils describing your only move is hustle

[@lukewilsontv]

18:05 you laugh but this is literally what you go through nowadays, on studio you can see the channels your audience likes and slowly see which channels are rising and who’s copying who

[@frogimage951]

i would start the episode like this " Welcome to safety third, today we will discuss if one can commit crimes with ZERO of the resposibility"

[@ethanwagner]

42:00 these boys want to go do a minecraft to New Zealand and I’m lowkey all for it

[@ProbablyJustJack]

After 6 months of catching up, I am happy to say that for the first time, on this very special episode, I can write a comment on with out being late to the party

[@OccasionalHaHa]

1:05 Dog + Peanut Butter + x = a good time. Solve for x

[@_Gecko]

A keypad, obviously

[@jonas1015119]

the midpoint between the UK, Japan and Mexico is on the border of Arizona and Utah in Navajo Nation btw

[@chickenmonger123]

Ope. I immediately know the conversation they had about peanut butter and dogs.

[@trashtrash2169]

My question is who started it?

[@stasi0238]

I dont get it

[@trashtrash2169]

@@stasi0238 Not sure where it originates from, but there's an idea that some people have. They spread peanut butter on their privates, then let a dog lick it off to stimulate them. Very bad. I am 99.99% sure that's what they were hinting at, but it obviously sucks to be the one to say the quiet part out loud and be completely wrong, especially in this case.

[@anegginthesetryingtimes7636]

3:10 yeah we know what psychology is 33:35 i dont know what kind of science this shit is but its powerful.

[@joeyisjustso]

Playing threes while hearing Alan talking about it is trippy af

[@theminecraft4202]

we ALL know what that first dog topic was about lmao

[@anonymous12345678935]

That's on you, dude.

[@daviddemmers130]

Damn what a great episode. Very fun conversations!

[@nicholash.7656]

Best time to sit down for a lunch with this podcast being posted!

[@BelindaShort]

I really enjoy the actual puzzles in some of the games I play and i can tell that some thought went into making them 'fun' to clear, if that makes sense. You can see the designs sometimes and it's great.

[@adriancutrano3803]

jabril's game idea is just yomi hustle lmfao

[@ndslat]

the yt studio clicker sounds the easiest to make and the most fun to play, also a lot of in app purchases could be added, like setup upgrades, editors, etc.

[@apalladium5k]

When I was in HS there was no network security. You could access everything from a save dialog in notepad.

[@epicthief]

In high-school we got full backdoor access to school network. We added halo and emulators. But the true master piece was a mass update to Word where anytime someone went to print it would insert ascii dongs into the text

[@Not-Right-Meow]

The hand warmer app sounds like something Samsung came out with a few years or so back, except you couldn't really control when it was on and it'd heat up for so long it caused the batteries to explode.

[@mediup2472]

As a russian I chuckled at the bit at 52:00

[@dr.blauerkraut]

9:52 I personally think it has to do with a good ol' case of caveman brain. I have sticks, now i have twice the sticks. A doubling is the first full power of magnitude, thus making it the easiest motivator. i will elaborate if requested, but i doubt anyone cares what im saying

[@theminecraft4202]

today on safety third: the boys write a Black Mirror episode

[@distributedparanoia]

The mechanical turk idea is in season 2 of Psycho Pass, somewhere around the 8th episode. Theres a mobile game that comes out that's linked to a bunch of military attack drones.

[@ViolentlyAmerican]

With the whole different answer to repeated questions thing, one of my friends daughter has a mild concussion and had some short term memory loss for a bit, but whenever she would ask a question like whats for finner she would be given a different answer each time

[@ISOLDURGFCOCAINE]

Petition for NileRed to make a special appearance via Zoom or something soon

[@OccasionalHaHa]

1:54 that is a completely insane take. I do not think that will work out the way you believe it will. Unless its a teacup sized dog.

[@OccasionalHaHa]

1:02:02 THe person posting the jobs is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, AT LEAST. They might be able to get the unwitting accomplices with manslaughter if a reasonable person could see the impending murder from the device that was being created. Maybe it becomes more clear to them as it's nearly finished.

[@randomlegodev]

whooo jabril is back!!

[@Ewr42]

Kevin's app idea is actually amazing, I've always wondered what chemicals I could build starting from water, salt, vinegar, baking soda, sugar; type chemicals Like, if you have the right atoms and "catalyzers" to make the different types of reactions you could build any molecule that had those atoms in their structure if you didn't care about doing 100 steps and getting a millionth of a percent yield. There's also free biochemicals available, like if you let food rot to get ethanol, you can get ethylene from fruits, methane, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide from farts, maybe HCl from stomach juice.. You could even mine dirt to unlock some extra atoms too So I imagine one can get pretty fucking far with just household chemicals and stuff How far could primitive technology or even HTME get tho? Neither have made barely any videos on chemicals Imagine "I made piraña using rainwater, vomit and rotten eggs" Such a shame that Nigel isn't on the podcast anymore(let's face it, he ain't never coming out of will's basement)

[@Djordymans]

On the truck driving one. There are rules on the max amount of hours you are allowed to work.

[@mcnicluvin]

Jabrils is gonna be devastated when he finds Your Only Move Is HUSTLE on steam and learns they already made his game. haha

[@Pallerim]

I teach technology to teenagers, and I can attest to them getting less skilled with computers. But they learn super fast, and they are skilled at finding the resources they need online, which is a skill that transfers from phones to computers easily.

[@50_foot_punch99]

29:10 did Jabrill just describe YOMI Hustle?

[@skateruwu]

There are teams of people in Jamaica (probably other places too) which their entire hustle involves solving captchas for botnets

[@lightnight14]

It's funny because Allen doesn't realize NGU (numbers go up) idle is an actual idle game that already exists.

[@nathanandbear]

I have had the same cookie clicker for the past 10.5 years. It has been a weird constant over the years, and it will never be complete without cheating at this rate. I did 'cheat' once years back to recover a broken save after a computer crash.

[@scrubbybubkinz5264]

27:25 that's checkmate showdown

[@scrubbybubkinz5264]

or Yomi hustle?

[@ReversedBlue]

So you know when you talked about carpeted bathrooms in ball pit episode? Well I recently been in a bathroom that had carpet on a toilet seat cover, literal carpet, not one of those plushy seat covers.

[@wtfpwnz0red]

I pay mechanical Turks to transcribe this podcast into 4 text files, one for each person. That's my reading material while i drive

[@notjacob4819]

Would love to see you guys get Stuff Made Here on the podcast.

[@n0r8u]

Number go up by Allen pan 😂

[@thecurator2045]

Jabril just repitching Your Only Move Is Hustle

[@mandmgally8245]

@16:40 with cookie clicker using like ur browser u can like inject JavaScript to cheat too

[@Yourakhunt355]

Love to hear a variation on the ago old dogwarts question

Hey it's Ja'boy Jabril!

[@Rickdadick96122]

Kevin’s game sounds amazing!!

[@poshhippie6446]

Hands down I'd play Kevin's game

[@thecurator2045]

Guys didn’t even get to the deeper lore and minigames of cookie clicker

[@OccasionalHaHa]

1:10:40 I remember reading this in 2600 magazine.

[@rumpardrayrumpardrayz9147]

I’d love to hear jabrils take on PALWORLD

[@Estuardomendez13]

i had an admin account in my school network and one of the tvs on a hallway was linked to the network to screen share and we had way too much fun with it

[@CrojrsPlays]

i think kevin should make his app

[@Blue-Science]

I don’t know if Will’s idea was the worst, but I do want him to be forced to bark next podcast

[@bjg394]

Holy crap, I haven't thought about Toribash in YEARS.... I'm going to go download it

[@cbrinks03]

17:59 this reminds me so much of pewdiepie’s tuber simulator

[@yasimost]

My depressing ass question got teased. Cant wait to listen to the the answer on patreon!!

[@NerdAboveALL8]

So just pewdiepie's tuber simulator

[@OccasionalHaHa]

1:07:45 this guy codes a lot. He codes so much he doesn't even have the basics of current meme culture.

19:46 That's how you get toilet germs in your mouth...

Did this episode went live on the day of open sauce exhibitor applications open?

We are still waiting on your CAD program!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

Jerryrigeverything exclusive dirt was from his backyard underground bunker project. It definitely was limited edition

[@CitrusSunRising]

Fun fact: our dog doesn’t like peanut butter. The first of its kind I’ve ever known to violate this rule, unfortunately for us 😂

[@TheSpookiestSkeleton]

An ounce of silver is worth $22.70 at time of this comment, meaning that selling dirt that might contain an ounce of silver for $10 a jar provides just enough money to make it viable as a business plan to sell dirt.

[@WhileTrueCode]

little known fact that screensaver .SCR files are really just .EXE files. in highschool i replaced the login screensaver with a keylogger

[@jupitersky]

Numbers go up

[@calculatedrisk5463]

I vote Kevin's idea
