"Lazy is the mother of invention"

[adam savage]

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

The duplicator is good for mundane and repetitive tasks like making all the roads in a city or putting trees around your build.

you could make a macro for it but if I had a nickel for everytime a macro forgeted up my build i would be very rich

Not if you're duping them seventeen times. Then it's just efficient.

Plus, macros don't copy events, emitters, lights, names, etc.

I haven't ever had a macro mess up on me because I know how to do them properly.


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.

Lazy isn't the mother of invention, because that would mean that the invention was created from laziness or the creator was being/personifying lazy.

I lol'd at that. Its just sad.

The Name Wand is another one. Very useful if you want to name a whole bunch of bricks really fast.

i use the duplicator when i got a complex thing to build high above and need to first build it on the ground so i can have a good view. then i just move it up.
its also good to copy trees or other basic prop things you build.


i cant stand when people use it for a wall segment or something, and just paste a whole bland building of the same eyesore pattern.
lazy and a bad use of it

I hate it when they make entire towns out of four special buildings and then everything else is one duplicated building. At least get some variety!

I usually use the duplicator for windows

No, I didn't
I was pointing out the fact that the phrasing doesn't make sense, even if his meaning does.
If anything, it would be the other way around; "Invention is the mother of laziness."

Someone's laziness and someone else's inventive talents create an invention.
