This is all irrelevant to my point, at the same time it kinda makes my point about the limit of your positions so…

My job here is done.

Have a day!

Any attempt to discuss earlier than that is wild conjecture so the only responsible way to deal with it is to accept that it is currently unknowable.

Holy fuckity fuck.

Stop using those words. Stop saying “ANY ATTEMPT” or “THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE”. Stop laying out matter of factly that when you ask scientists they answer in a certain way.

Are you a scientist? Did you ask a theoretical astrophysicist? Are you quoting a paper on the subject?

This is your respectable clearly limited opinion. Portay it as such.

I never said consensus settles a matter, I’m just saying that pulling stuff out your ass and pretending they come from a position of consensus is harmful.

Also you clearly read “The Theory of Everything” or something to that extent by Hawkings and he quite literally mention that he’s going to study what happens before the Big Bang…

Look up Phenomenology.

There’s a fourth option: every reference to the mystical properties of black holes on lemmy creates new universes through some as yet undiscovered process. Then your existence just becomes a statistical eventuality, as do every other life that you could ever live.

It’s like arguing absolute zero doesn’t have consensus as if I was part of the specialists that push forward our collective knowledge on the matter while at best knowing 0 is a small number.

The salient point is that Something HAS to exist because the opposite is literal meaninglessness and that has scientific consensus.

That’s literally opposite to the scientific consensus. People are in fact looking for models that justify why there is something rather than nothing, and it’s not because “the opposite is literal meaninglessness”.

Please, please, please think of all the people that infer knowledge from an autoritatve language heard online.

That’s what you did. We can’t know is very different from “there was no this and this and this prior”.

You got us!

starts to dissolve

Prior to the Big Bang there was no Entropy, no Time, no Matter or Energy

Is there a consensus on this or you are just simplifying for the sake of simplifying?

The area of the base of a tube as long as the lenght of travel that would contain the volume of gasoline needed to travel said distance.

I HATE their mom! She’s the worst!

2024 is not finished for anybody on earth, pal.

How selfish is it to be happy somebody saw no other option but to suicide to save everybody else?

Jhon jumped on the granade and saved all of us, but we should not cry for him, we should be happy because his sacrifice meant we all survived!

The most basic shit fly off the window when it comes to Jesus.

Cold one or hot one?

True, but also let’s not just let ourself dash toward suicide. Society is not meant to sustain nudism in the middle of winter 24/7.

No it’s a comic nobody really exists in there.

I’m not sure if it’s wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

For reference, since this is the most upvoted reply as of now, this is not a description I (and possibly other people) resonate with.

I’m not referring to prostate stimulation, I mean the concept of hornyness as a burden and orgasm as a an escape from it. I’ll add that I would never in a million years pick a foot massage or scratching an hitch as preferrable.

Upside-down loaf position

Their action do not assure any quality, they actually advocate for keeping bugs in, the opposite of what any QA wants.

Do such efforts bring value to gaming or are they more of an academic exercise?

Neither? Speedrunning is entirely nihilistic. It rejects the rules of society to the point of rejecting the rules of games themselves in favor of meaningless tantric repetition. It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

I find it fun and dreadful at the same time, as a concept, I would never do it myself in a million years.

In short, it’s an artistic performance.
