Granted, the duplicator is useful not lazy if its a lot of bricks, but if your duping 2 bricks, its lazy. |

Edit: This topic actually makes sense though. He's not saying that lazy people directly invent these things. It's more like: -Inventor sees lazy person tired of doing <hassle> to acquire <result> -Invents <tool> to bypass <hassle> and gives <result> Examples -Inventor sees Blocklanders complaining about how they have to re-build and re-event the pillars that consist of about 50 bricks each. -Invents duplicator to copy the first pillar instead of needing to rebuild them -Inventor sees Blocklanders getting tired of spraying every brick on a huge wall because the color didn't look right. -Invents a fillcan to color the whole wall with one click. |
