  • T(rule)y Problem

    Jump

  • I think that either

    a. The portal maintains itself via energy supplied remotely by the portal gun or

    b. Once created, a portal does not require energy to exist. It's simply an anomaly in space-time. A strange loophole whereby one location is closer to another location that it's supposed to be or

    c. The portal runs on chuckle-power generated by Cave Johnson's witticisms

    I think the idea that the portal generates infinite energy is too complicating and problematic to be assumed.

  • This still assumes that the portal is an infinite-energy machine, though, which I think is unwarranted and creates more difficulty than is necessary. I would assume that the portal itself has no properties and does not act on other objects.

  • T(rule)y Problem

    Jump

  • I don't think the portal contains anything within itself, though. The portal is a non-entity - it's just that if you pass through the portal, you suddenly find yourself in a different location, as if that location were right next to you. The portal itself has no other properties of its own, I'd think.

  • T(rule)y Problem

    Jump

  • I think it has to be A. You figure that if it were B, the people on the track would suddenly be traveling at a high velocity, but the train's velocity wouldn't be impacted at all, since there was no impact between the train and the people. Wouldn't this mean that the portal had created energy, which is impossible?

  • What is the main demographic of users on lemmy.world?

    Don't let the communists hear you say that

  • As a Gen Z'er, I can really feel the Millennial vibes permeating throughout Lemmy

  • Jetty Boot: Hard Mode

    Jump

  • Here's another fun game you can play: drink a blackout stout, then immediately start playing jetty boot. After you black out, you'll continue playing the game, but in third person. My friends and I had a lot of fun with that one, lol

  • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 03-08-2023

    Jump

  • I'm also having an incredible time playing Battlebit Remastered. I've always been intimidated by competitive shooters, but the massive battle sizes and the light-hearted community really bring the game together.

  • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 03-08-2023

    Jump

  • Just got back into Europa Universalis IV yesterday and have been re-addicted to it ever since.

    I had been hooked on Crusader Kings III for a very long time, but I realized at some point that I was ignoring all of the roleplay elements and just map-painting, so I decided to play a game that specializes in map-painting.

  • Pizza Mozzarella with Basil Leaves - Family Size

    Jump

  • Oh, wow. This one needs to be marked NSFW.

  • I'm trying to prove a point. Without looking it up, what are these?

    Jump

  • Aglet. Another shout-out to Phineas and Ferb.

  • This is more of a lemmypisspost but I'll let it slide

  • States Rights

    Jump

  • My favorite rebuttal to the idea that the Confederacy seceded in order to preserve States' Rights is this excerpt from the Confederate constitution:

    Article I Section 9(4): No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

    If states rights were so important to the Confederacy, I have to wonder why their constitution stripped the states of the right to abolish slavery in any capacity.

    Technically, it stripped ALL legislatures of the ability to restrict slavery in any way, making slavery a permanent feature of the Confederate government.

    Do you have a sibling? What is the relationship like?

  • Oh yeah - the duplicate comments plus the length of the comment had me pretty embarrassed, lol

    Jump

  • I have two brothers. My younger brother is pretty cool - always kind and talkative, even though our interests don't overlap much. He's like an extroverted friend who always engaged with you, even if you don't have much interesting to respond with.

    My older brother and I barely know each other by now, but he seems to have invented a fictional version of me who he absolutely despises. Every time I see him, he gets quieter and quieter, and he regularly texts our mother with the most venomous insults and accusations he can sling my way. I've probably spoken fifty words to him in the last few years, but he's fully convinced that I'm an evil person working to slight him at every turn.

    I wonder sometimes if I should talk to him directly and ask what's up, or if I should just write him off. Even my mother is confused as to why he's like this.
