”This is a blob. It lives in the forest eating mangos and burning wood for heat”

Ah yes, the ideal life.

[cocobean]

The Blob is adorable, collects food, and can get basic resources. I need him.

[juku-oiop]

Alot of things have happened. I remember when the blobs were just stealing and sharing and I come back to blobs doing honest work.

[GregTom]

"Now our goal is to creater a computer model that captures the full depth of the human experience. How can we do that?"
_Blob blinks nervously_

[edgelord]

I find these videos to be some of the most unique and creative videos on the internet.
Using "blobs" to describe all of this stuff is some high creativity.
For YouTube to survive it needs more creative guys like you.

[mprocks]

Me: I feel bad.

Therapist: *Pulling out 3 logs of wood and 2 mangoes* Does this make you feel any better?

[hordix]

"so you just chop trees and eat mangos?"
"its a peaceful life"

[jamesclarke]

7:16
Mango: Scar! Brother! Help me!
Gravity: Long live the king.

[andrerenault]

"The blob values mangoes twice as much as it used to." Sentences previously unsaid in human history

[chieckenman]

"This is a blob it lives in a forest eating mangos and burning wood for heat"
Looks like they are advanced now because they used to be cannibals
And it can chop trees and make houses

[LaPapaniaX]

It’s 6:37 AM and I’m watching a blob get mangoes and logs.

[tdoyr]

This feels like those days in school where you actually learn something you enjoy

[Troglodytarum]

50 years from now, "How do blobs respond to finding out a nerd is their God and they live in a simulation?"

[francisco]

No way. Literally discovered this channel two days ago and I was sad they didn't make any more video and now this. Awesome

[tijansigin]

Economy, Ecosystem, soon you'll have Blobs searching for the truth in life and scientific advancements.

[صبر-غط]

"Let's say the blob has a baby blob to feed"
*the plot thickens*

[soumenmohanty]

Who else wants primer to keep adding up to this simulation and create a world of blobs

[AndrewMCombs]

It would be interesting if you included a storage system, where unused resources can be stored and so the happiness from them goes down over time since it already has some.

Other people: "Wow, such an interesting video"
Me: "Haha, a mango fell off the simulation in 7:18"
