xkcd #2933: Elementary Physics Paths
  • Cosmology you put enough mass in a small enough area it becomes a singularity.

    Quantum mechanics information can't be destroyed to an unrecoverable state so singularities are impossible.

  • Ignore me, I'm not here
  • NPC: hey buddy I know you just killed the world ending dragon but my shoe string broke and it would be dangerous to for me to walk to the other side of town to get a replacement string. Can you go get me the string? If you do this for me I give you an item that you have an inventory full of that you won't use because you are saving them all for a tougher fight, even after beating the secret ultra hard boss and the final boss but there might still be a need.

    Me: hell yes I'll get your shoe string on the other side of the world if I had to. Don't worry about giving me any money I maxed that out hours ago and can't find anything to spend it on. Sure I'll take the item, you never know when you might land in a fight where a potion that heal 1% saves me. Sorry about not talking to you 100 hours ago your character model looked kind of plain so I didn't think you would have quest for me.

  • How would you hide a paperclip in your home/apartment to win a contest against an investigator?
  • Pop up some of the quarter round behind one of the toilets and drop the paperclip between the flooring and the studs then a quick tap down of the quarter round. With the extra time I might quickly paint a few spots in other rooms to distract them.

  • julius rulius
  • Like how the Spartans are remembered for thermopylae even though they weren't the only ones fighting there. And then the Spartans went crying to the Persian to help them fight Athens in the Peloponnesian War. And also the first person to run a marathon died after delivering the message so now people hear that story and think I bet it won't kill me.

  • Line go up
  • Well the gold standard had to be abandoned when most of Europe switched to backing up their money with the value of US dollars after WW2, and then France wanted to exchange all the US cash they could get their hands on for gold so the US had to then ship all that gold to France and after that the fear was more countries would do the same thing.
