A: The entropy is so high (1 bit max), so it means that roleplay threads can't be found.
Q: What is the average entropy of every pattern in Life?

A: It depends on what software is running the CA.

A: Unsurprisingly, the boat is the only still life capable of that catalysis.

A: What is the largest pattern in Life?
[s]since two answers were provided, im going to provide a question[/s]
A: the largest pattern in life is the Y-R-O-C converter, which converts Y pentominoes to C pentominoes by first converting Y pentomino to a rock R, then turning it into an oscillator O, which when hassled turns into a C pentomino.

Q: how do we stop roleplay threads from appearing in b2-a/s128 soups?
A: Ask Dvgrn to bring his banhammer and watch him hammer the role play threads to the void.

Q: What are banhammers made of?

A: TransformER is actually a god. So he is actually owning the CA-verse, all of its discoveries and their date. He is actually inside the hearts, the souls of every still life, oscillator, spaceship, puffer, rake, gun, breeder and anything else.

Q: Why is TransformER a god?
A: TransformER is not actually a god; he only made people believe he is. The fact that gliders can’t go through each other proves that he is not a god. Ask Colin Theri if you want to know more details as I do not have time to explain this.

A: He discovered the Transform- oh wait it is a god, because of it, CGOL is 2D, gliders don't pass through, and Life is omniperiodic. Yes, Colin Theri actually discovered the TransformER to more people. He did discover something, and that's the "secret moderator camelship".

Q: What is the pigment in still lifes that makes you pink?
A: The curl motif, since it curls the DNA in your skin. As such, small/common still lifes are generally safer for consumption, since they do not contain curls. Filtering out boats to prevent the formation of Big Ss is recommended for maximum safety, however.
