noun

When the [probably wrong] answer, or its immediate consequence, hits you like a brick

I expect we’ll see a spate of Jewish sounding motorists getting trapped in the car with windows disabled and exhaust fumes diverted to the inside of the car (even though it’s electric; technology finds a way)

It works both ways. Governments are bending over backwards to silence opposition to Israel, and that means abandoning the rule of law and supressing free speech. The rot was there, but the open corruption and the sheer quantity of lies puts it into overdrive. If not for Israel, Trump would not have been reelected.

Nobody is born an umpire, you become an umpire if you get bitten by one but umpire parents always have electrical babies

I’m sure you can get frozen spring rolls

Any man who has to say, ‘I am the king’ is no true king.

Oh yeah the community is 1000% better and healthier, I don’t miss Reddit at all. Plus I’m a child of the 70s, I grew up with limited content. It’s good for you.

This is exactly why I don’t use Reddit on the side. When I run out of content on Lemmy, there’s no choice but to do something productive instead. Had to go 100% cold turkey on Reddit to make that work though.

He said I could have it when I prise it from his cold dead fingers. Very nice of him, honestly I was expecting to have to pay for one.

Need a quick deconsecration order before business can be conducted there

I looked at this a few hours back when the sun was shining. Obviously white and gold, no question. Looked at it again just now after the sun went down and the house was darker. It’s blue and black. I can’t see how it could be white and gold. I’m not sure if this is some joke and I’m being fucked with here, so I’ve downloaded the image and I’ll take another look when the sun’s shining again.

An attack on the military would make a lot of sense. Trump needs to manufacture consent within the military before he can reliably use them to eliminate protests. So this ticks all the boxes. Can’t be small scale though. You need a significant death toll, you need spectacle, horror and shock. Needs to be a military installation in a highly visible location. You have to put on a show. Still wouldn’t significantly reduce the US’s military capacity, and you can bet it’s a sacrifice Trump is willing to make. Especially after that disappointing birthday parade.

HOOOOW can you have any pudding, if you don’t yeet yer meat?

Neither of those words have ever existed. In the interests of language simplification both have been replaced with “turrist”. Please take care to review your Newspeak notifications citizen.

It’s in many ways a beautiful country and lots of fun to visit. I used to love going there for holidays and road trips. I wouldn’t consider it now of course, but that saddens me. I want to go visit, just as soon as sanity and humanity prevails.

Hmm. I think it wouldn’t work because the ham would need to be twisted around the bread beforehand. At least that’s what my initial experiments with toilet paper indicate.

EDIT: OK, best I can come up with, you’ll need a custom made bread oven in modular sections forming a twisted torus, like a fusion reactor only it’s a bread oven. Now get a really big ham. Make a hole in it and assemble the bread oven passing through the hole. If you can’t put the ham in the sandwich you need to put the sandwich in the ham. Fill up with dough and start baking. While it’s cooking, carve your ham into a Möbius strip twisted around the oven. Disassemble the oven, cut any excess crust off the bread, give it a twist, a flick of the wrist, and voilà! Möbius ham sandwich!

To do it right you really need a piece of ham cut in a Möbius strip too. I think that might be the hard part.

EDIT: wait, no. Putting the ham in the sandwich. That’s the hard part.

Come and talk to me when you’ve made a Möbius sandwich with a single piece of bread.

Imaginary numbers have the worst name.

I agree, because really all numbers are imaginary. Numbers are also wonderfully useful for describing nature, and it’s amazing how what might start as a quest for completeness and elegance ends up reflecting something about the real world. Each extension on our use of numbers is an augmentation, an extended toolkit to solve different problems, but doesn’t negate anything which went earlier. For example finding the roots of a polynomial often represents a problem where complex solutions aren’t applicable, and “no solution” is the more meaningful result. One kind of mathematics may be bigger and more complete than another, but that doesn’t make it better or more true. It just depends on what you need from it.
