And then the concept of "and then" ceases have meaning, when the ratio between the time when there are things and the time when there are no things approaches 0

The darkest thing is the universe, in about 10^10¹²⁰ years (or seconds, or stellar lifespans, it's all the same at this time scale), after every star has died, every black hole dissipated, and every material object quantum tunneled out of existence, when energy is as dispersed as it can possibly be

The lamp story was over a decade ago, this greentext was well after it

But also it's not an incredibly uncommon dream. I've had the same kind of dream before, though not nearly as emotionally affected as these guys

My biggest problem with the podcasts I once loved. I fully stopped listening to anything for like 6 months in 2020, so now I have four years of backlog, and the part where I left off was right around The Worst Time Of Our Lives...

The only podcast I try to keep up with these days is Hey Riddle Riddle, and even then I tend to be like 6 months behind

Source for my claim

I should have said half of the Americans reading my comment rather than half of the people reading it, though if we include all people who speak English as a first language, the statistics don't change much—Americans make up more than 60% of all native English speakers, so at the absolute least, 3/10 of the native English speakers reading my comment are below an 8th grade level (assuming there's no correlation with Lemmy users having higher than average literacy, which I'm sure Lemmy users would like to believe, but we shouldn't make this assumption without data to back it up)

I blocked the entire Blahaj instance a while ago

I cant think of a single user I have seen from that instance that isn't unsavory

Can't imagine why you haven't seen any of the many chill folk from that server

If I understand right, they're upset that the blahaj.zone admins blocked content from CDRMITTENS on their instance. Blahaj admins can't remove content from a community hosted on SJW, but they can prevent content posted by individual SJW users from showing up on blahaj.zone

Personally I think nuke is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Blahaj admins can do whatever they want on their instance. I don't really care whether or not I can see content posted by someone who supports the IDF. I'd actually rather not see it tbh

Unfriendly reminder that over half of United States adults read at or below an 8th grade level. My favorite part of this statistic is fact that, unless you've had your reading comprehension tested in an objective manner recently, you have no idea whether you fall in the upper or lower half. Statistically, half of the Americans reading this comment read it with a lower proficiency than a middle schooler.

I mean we can simply let the kids handle the .22s, and adults like myself can stop the .45s and shotguns

Yeah unfortunately the only flaw in this plan is that they're simply aren't enough fingers for all the guns

What took Matt's code over an entire month to run, viewers optimized so damn hard that the majority of the runtime of the code is just loading the words, so they started optimizing the code to run while the word list was loading. Takes like 4 milliseconds to load the word list, and 2 milliseconds to run the program

People joke about the Parker Square, but he's unironically the most inspiring public figure imo. The king of Doing The Damn Thing

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
