Sponge: The Epic - Part 59.981
Scrambling around to make the repairs
Staff are re-stabilising “Stable”
SPAM has subsumed the Spongineers
Abundant forks set on the table
We try to master the art of testing
By overloading everything
With quirks of mods that need besting
Until Spongeforge is heaving
Enjoying avocados by the acid pool
As the trash panda paddles in panic
Smashing walls with a magical tool
We use and abuse every mechanic
Launching inter-dimensional sheep
In catastrophic Stargate mishaps
We caught several Sponge bugs to keep
And dumped garbage all over the maps
It can be something like a holiday
Inside a psychedelic vortex
Pity the issue wranglers I say
Who must filter the bugs via their cortex

“Honestly, if it doesn’t have wriggling tentacles and is twice the size of the player, you’ll always find someone who’ll just walk up to it and poke it with a stick until it does something” – Codebracker
Dark Stars
The stars are still there
Even if you can’t see them
They’re dancing forever
To a different rhythm
Behind darkness’s door
They burn on infernally
In the hallowed halls of Ore
They stay pinned eternally

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it. -- Spaf
Do Not Press
Somewhere in the code entrails
There lay a secret function
Something like an ace of fails
A purpose-built dysfunction
This inadvertent discovery
With benefit of hindsight
Queued a remarkable recovery
Just prior to the limelight
Taming this crafty creature
May not really be so hard
Malfunctions future feature:
All files will be FLARD

BUG: mixinTeleporter is null when a chicken enters the nether portal #1834
Infinite Doors*
The stars are asleep behind the veil
Shadowed plains roll away at all sides
An ashen world with a thousand brides
The end of all things, entropy’s pail
Who made the meandering pathways leading there?
The tenuous grasp of reality transcended
Interleaved dimensions gracefully ascended
As the eye of the monolith continues to stare
Ancient walls hold back a slumbering nightmare
Secret doors created between the spaces
Cracks in the walls to more forbidden places
Widening as wanderers search in despair
Thou may yet witness the abyssal wrath
When on your travels in far distant halls
From a curious doorway a soft murmur calls:
Enter the labyrinth, seek your own path

Is a flashmob stomping tomatoes really crowdsaucing?
Programmers Mantra #31
Your Repo is abomination
The contributions sucked
Concluding in frustration
This code is totally
Fine is the distinction
Between a perfect fit
And the definition
Complicated piece of
Science, or is it Art
Only time will tell
Let them tease the two apart
As this code goes straight to
Production.

Sponge: The Epic - Part 60.230
Builds have passed 3000
Of this ever-changing boat
Our developers at wit’s end
To keep the ship afloat
Ingenious modders keep making
More content and contention
Creating new ways of breaking
Sponge API’s intervention
But there is some consolation
On April 28th we come clean
There will be cause for celebration

The Ode of the Guarded Fox
I missed a spot
I BROKE EVERYTHING AGAIN AGAIN!!!
OH MY GOD ANOTHER COMMIT.
Why are there so many changes what did i do to deserve this…?
I honestly have no idea what i did but a lot of things got renamed or something.
I’m not sure what all has been done. But here. Have some code. There’s a lot of changes… I think
More changes and stuff.
More Changes.
Oh my god I almost lost all of these changes
I FINALLY REMOVED THE OLD STORAGE HANDLER. I AM SO HAPPY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
More things!!! :DDD
Lots of changes. wheeeeeeeeeee
So many changes.

worm424: So I got a new keyboard
Inscrutable: the letters look just like your old one
Continuum Hype or Thesis
Infinitely divisible
Literally invisible
The singular dimensions of a line
The point of existence
Disappears in the distance
As divisions get arbitrarily fine
Yet no matter how dissected
Each segment disconnected
May be so subdivided endlessly
Each fragment of measure
Is an infinite treasure
That should never be squandered carelessly

Modern Miner General
In the infinite environment your needs are met by crafting
Raw materials are obtained by punching and mine-shafting
Travel may be accelerated by horses, carts and rafting
And the terrain is charted carefully by cartographic drafting
When wandering the land you may study it’s topology
There is much to learn about in this bizarre ecology
Weird red cows a double deal, zoology and mycology
Creep up on a creeper and try out some phrenology
You can occupy yourself with vegetative cultivation
Or by engaging in predation to help stave off starvation
Discovering that sustenation must suit the situation
As you dine on rotten flesh in a final act of desperation

Optic Profunctor Tricontravariant Instantiation Error: Third Eye Not Found
Riddle of the River
Mere mist gives way to rain
Mud a minor impediment
Captured in nooks of terrain
Subtly shifting the sediment
We often redirect the flow
By drain, canal and culvert
Harnessed by humans to show
Natural forces we subvert
Technology has it’s limits
The weather calls our hubris
At the limit of our wits
We cannot control all this
Cascades coalesce together
The torrent’s power is shown
The riddle of the river:
Water is stronger than stone
