This is truly useless. For the few generations until it is stable, it looks vaguely like a face.
Hey, I didn't lie. It is useless.
But I suppose it is more of an observation than a discovery.

One more suggested link for finding out if something is already known: in Golly, select an object that you want to know a name for -- just one still life or oscillator or spaceship, not multiple copies -- and paste it into the big empty box in Mark Niemiec's search page . Thanks man, good to know. ...

Cool, thanks. EDIT: This is not only know, but already in this thread. I feel like an idiot now... Oh, I noticed something very simple that begins to resemble two Sierpinski Triangles if at a large enough scale. x = 20324, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 20324o! So simple that it is just an extremely long line...

Is there a name for this thing I came across? It is a period 2 oscillator. x = 8, y = 9, rule = B3/S23 o6bo$2o4b2o$2o4b2o$bo4bo2$bo4bo$2o4b2o$2o4b2o$o6bo! Also, what is the name of the ships the following thing launches? x = 10, y = 9, rule = B3/S23 bob4obo$b2o4b2o$b2o4b2o$obo4bobo$o2b4o2bo$obo4bobo...

A 15-year-old's first methuselah. It takes exactly 1100 generations to stabilize. It has a population of 9. x = 3, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 2o$3o$obo$b2o! My bad, you can start it with a population of 6, with stabilization at 1101. x = 3, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 bo$2o$2bo$b2o! First off, welcome to the bo...
