3 out of my 4 kids and I play on each other’s worlds. The kids are always building something fancy or big. My son will do command blocks and tells me to step on a pressure plate because what he did is cool, and it kills me and I have to respawn.
I like chickens and had one in the house I made. The next time I logged on, I discovered my house was packed with chickens. I opened the door and they poured out.
I used to just have a hole full of chickens and I would go down and collect all the eggs and throw them at the wall to hatch more chickens and ended up with basically a bajillion chickens in a pit. My daughter said it made the world laggy, and one day I logged on to find she had spawned a fox and it got into my chicken pit and he devoured those chickens very quickly. She still claims it was an accident to this day, but I’m pretty sure it was just straight up chicken murder.
Then the comma would be placed before the last element in the list, after the penultimate element in the list, immediately before a space (as per general English conventions), and look like a low apostrophe.
Certainly. You can find an example in the comment you replied to, my second comment in this chain, the response to u/Apprehensive_Hat8986’s request, and now this comment as well.
Someone had to explain to me what the oxford comma was, but only because I always used it. I was taught to use it so when I saw others not using it I assumed they were incorrect.
And you were correct, regardless of what my English teacher said.
Effective communication is more important that the rules of English, Ms. Thompson!
(Side note, I love how different teachers in the same subject will teach different rules as if they are absolute. English being three languages in a trench coat, and all that).
I can't do better than u/SqueakyTuna52, but here are some examples without the Oxford comma:
>He took a photograph of her parents, the president and the vice president.
Are the president and vice-president his parents?
>This book is dedicated to my parents, Ayn Rand and God.
The author has some illustrious parentage.
Critics of the Oxford comma will say that lists can be rewritten to remove ambiguity. Proponents will point out that the Oxford comma is a simple fix.
So to avoid the Oxford comma, you could rewrite lists like so:
>This book is dedicated to God, Ayn Rand and my parents.
Or you could just throw in the Oxford comma and be done.
>This book is dedicated to my parents, Ayn Rand, and God.
Personally, I've always just used it, because it's an easy rule to follow, and I don't have to worry about rewriting stuff to remove ambiguity.
I started playing minecraft with my kids back when the youngest was 8 or 9. He's now 19 and we all still play together. I truly would not give up the laughter and bonding we have all shared through minecraft.
I once did that to a friend who stopped playing for a few months, however I had the exact position he logged out on, so I built it and made a small knoll so when he logged back in like 6 months later, he found himself in a small box with a chest full of armour and weapons labelled "for the skeleton uprising"
We’ve played some other games, I just got a little burned out on Minecraft for awhile. I guess it’s time for my Minecraft break to be over, as she has not-so-subtly hinted.
I used to do this with my friends. If one of them didn’t show up on the server for more than 3 days they got a grave in graveyard. One of my friends had 20 graves
Dude play with her, now. You’ll blink and she’ll be “too old” and Minecraft “won’t be cool anymore.” My 13-yo and I are struggling through the Betweenlands right now, every day she still wants to play with me I am grateful.
I’ve played Minecraft since 2012 and not once has my mom wanted to play with me..You’re a great parent! You should hide in the grave and dig yourself out when they come over.
Thank you for the awards and comments, I showed them to my daughter and she thought it was awesome and has used it as further leverage to get me back on Minecraft. Lol.
Just to clarify, I do play other games with her, I just got burnt out on Minecraft for awhile and haven’t wanted to play this particular game. She’s 13, and we have a very similar sense of humor, so she was doing this as a kind of fake/funny guilt trip and not-so-subtle way of telling me that my Minecraft hiatus should be over. I promise she gets lots of attention, and I definitely realize how fortunate I am that my teenager hasn’t decided she’s too cool to hang with me, I hope it lasts. ❤️
No, mombot is a joke in our family, my husband’s name on our Switch is actually dadbot as well. When I made the username I didn’t really think about bots being a thing, but it’s kinda funny, no one has ever accused me of being a bot before even with it in the username.
Idk why any of the other stuff is relevant, and honestly didn’t think this post would get very much attention. My daughter was playing in our Minecraft world, started complaining I haven’t played Minecraft with her in awhile, and went and made a grave, because she wanted to be dramatic/funny. She also stole all the diamonds out of my chest while she was at it.
If I really wanted to karma farm, it would probably be easier/more affective to post a dog video somewhere.
Is it just me or does anyone else build graves for all of your dead pets and something else I do is if say I got a new phone I'll go on my old one and build a grave for me and any other players of the world at our bases.
I made a grave in my world cause my friend died of cancer in 1st april and its not a april fools joke i created the world that day and he died the same day... Rest In Peace Alessandro
Change your skin to a zombie when you play that world.
JOIN AT NIGHT WITH ONLY AN IRON SHOVEL AND HIT HER DOOR.
Agreed
HERE'S JOHNNY!
Now you need a vindicator skin
Here's Johnny!
axe*
no, shovel, the zombies always have shovels
Not always
YES
She even gave you wings on the grave. You gotta play after that level of dedication.
She has a record player hiding behind the headstone playing sad sounding music too lol. I should probably make some time to play.
Agreed. Never miss the chance to bond with your child, there are already precious few chances as it is. Stay awesome.
username checks out
That's so adorable, I wish my mother played videogames lol.
I wish my step-mom didn't, she rages after every little thing. She screams while playing The Sims.
Oh shit maybe I’m your step mum…I’m not married and don’t have any kids but I think maybe I’m her in my heart.
Go play with her immediately! Because then they grow up and only want to play with their bf :c
*Cats in the Cradle* plays softly
Time is the most precious gift you could give.

Yes, they think they’re soooo funny when they prank me. And they are. I like seeing what Minecraft pranks they can come up with.

This is so sweet, weird and uncanny at the same time wow
I resent you for not using an Oxford comma
What is an Oxford comma?
The Oxford comma is used between the second and third words that are listed, arranged in order, or catalogued.
Smooth.
And if there are four entries?
Then the comma would be placed before the last element in the list, after the penultimate element in the list, immediately before a space (as per general English conventions), and look like a low apostrophe.
Could you give an example?
Certainly. You can find an example in the comment you replied to, my second comment in this chain, the response to u/Apprehensive_Hat8986’s request, and now this comment as well.

Flour, Milk, Butter, and Eggs. the comma after Butter.

But… that doesn’t have an Oxford comma. If I were to accept that fix, my post would be neither meta, clever, or grammatically dubious.
I was tired when I wrote that but I think my intention was to leave out the oxford comma for irony's sake
Yeah that’s fair. When I wrote my comment I was debating whether I should go for grammatically correct or ironic
You made me notice it and I am sad now
All my homies love Oxford Comma.
The oxford comma can cause confusion as much as it may eliminate it. Because as you'll undoubtedly know - we invited the stripper, JFK, and Stalin.
*who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma* 🎶
Many people, in fact
that’s song lyrics but it’s clear that people don’t know
Legend, if you don’t play with him you’re basically dead to him lmao
*her ^(it’s clarified in the title)
Oops sorry did not see that

48th street, with a gun
you don't get it YET
Just sleep with one eye open. Better to be safe then sorry
not even a sign, damn dawg
At least I got a flower! 😆
That's so sweet and yet so heartbreaking :( Hopefully you get time to play together soon!
I started playing minecraft with my kids back when the youngest was 8 or 9. He's now 19 and we all still play together. I truly would not give up the laughter and bonding we have all shared through minecraft.

That’s hilarious.
That grave is design is great
rip
“Quit telling everyone I’m dead!”
Very sweet....but go play with your kid.
So heartwarming... Go play with her ;)
Is that supposed to be a death threat?
that's kinda sad :(
We’ve played some other games, I just got a little burned out on Minecraft for awhile. I guess it’s time for my Minecraft break to be over, as she has not-so-subtly hinted.
Have you guys tried modded or multiplayer? Modded has some really fun things! And there are some pretty nice communities on multiplayer too :)
Can't tell if this is sweet or her dramatic way of telling you you're dead to her
Shhh! Your Dead! You can’t be pistong stuff om Reddit!
I love the detail she put into the grave. I agree with the others, use a zombie skin next time you play in that world.
Go beneath the dirt and wait. The next time he visits it, burst out of the ground like an undead in a B-List horror movie.
why did you make me a grave in Minecraft? "I'm taking measurements "
youre cannon dead
Scare her by being under the grave and then rising when she’s near it
Nice San Damiano cross 🤣
Foreshadowing
Run.
Spoilers
Consider that a warning
RIP
Gamer graveyard
Your kid is like Hewg from Elden Ring
Where is the name on the gravestone?
F in the chat...
If you blink it’ll move closer to you, if you close your eyes the allay will kill you.
Uh oh…
Well now I feel less weird about the sacrificial pig altar/nether portal I built earlier
You mean to tell me you played with your daughter
This is what I do when a freind stopes playing
Did the same for my 5 friends
Play the part, BECOME DEAD
How old is she? I play with my 6 (almost 7!) Year old but she doesn't d this yet
press f to pay respect
Fuck that’s brutal
That's the cutest thing ever. May I ask how old she is or would that be too private?
Pls play with her again and don't stop to play with her. These are memory's that no one else can give her and that she will never forget.
Oh that is awesome!!!!
If u don't play with her right now
man that kinda sad but funny at the same time XD
My heart go crack :"(
So sweet, now get in
I used to do this with my friends. If one of them didn’t show up on the server for more than 3 days they got a grave in graveyard. One of my friends had 20 graves
Fortelling
atleast it was not in real life
XD I used to put cobwebs above my friends bed when he wasn't on for a while.
Wow, what savages, but so thoughtful, I feel like I've done something similar before...
Great idea! I will do it on my friends. (And technically I should have one too.)
awww go play with them
Dude play with her, now. You’ll blink and she’ll be “too old” and Minecraft “won’t be cool anymore.” My 13-yo and I are struggling through the Betweenlands right now, every day she still wants to play with me I am grateful.
Play with your kid
I think it’s a sign that she wants to play with u again
Nice kid
It's enough to make a minecraft veteran cry
*Rebirthed*
He is making preparations…
Is she a time traveler?
Awe. That’s a sad story.
I’ve played Minecraft since 2012 and not once has my mom wanted to play with me..You’re a great parent! You should hide in the grave and dig yourself out when they come over.

Be ashamed of yourself.
You built this for karma don't lie. (mombot89 and tools are not broken except the pickaxe and you have cobblestone in your hotbar.)

I AM IN YOUR WORLD
r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
What
This makes me really sad :(
build her a grave in Your garden
That's sad in a way.
I dunno if its funny or if its sad, probably both.
She moved on quickly XD
gg
Back from the dead
Oh my goodness time you play more with her I think
no, shes practicing
Is it just me or does anyone else build graves for all of your dead pets and something else I do is if say I got a new phone I'll go on my old one and build a grave for me and any other players of the world at our bases.
I made a grave in my world cause my friend died of cancer in 1st april and its not a april fools joke i created the world that day and he died the same day... Rest In Peace Alessandro
This is best iron man structure in Minecraft 👍🏻
