Someday, the universe will die. Someday, the old gods will quiesce, their jaws slack, their hunger as sated as it can be, their tentacles torpid, draped across the maws that, impossibly, have eaten their fill. Even then, poly drama will echo through the cosmos.

While the math of love triangles isn't hard to learn, Poly relations of non-Euclidean dimensions are a big cause for concern.

i really enjoy the goofs where just the physical act of posting on this dead gay comedy forum is unbelievably hard, like getting the words you want into the posting cube is this insurmountable challenge. like that famous workout routine dude in that abortion thread or the "perpetually aroused, sporadically ejaculating filth hound" post

Neddy Seagoon posted:So was Alice in Wonderland, iirc. You do not recall correctly. Alice in Wonderland was written about 100 years before "Quantum Mechanics" would be a thing. Hell, it was written about 50 years before Bohr formulated his model of the atom. I do remember hearing that someone suggested he wrote it as a critique of aspects of mathematics (not physics) he disagreed with as he was a mathematician, thats probably what you are thinking of. I think it was on QI. A quick google suggests to me that the writer of that interpretation decided thats what it was and went looking for evidence rather than letting the evidence suggest the interpretation. Like a nerdier version of edgy kids decidng that X cartoon is about death or whatever and assign that meaning to everything in the show. Or like 70% of CD I guess.

One time in e/n he did this with a post about getting aroused by farts where someone would hold in their noxious rear end-gas until it came out their pores, which uncontrollably aroused them to the point they became a “sporadically ejaculating filth hound”. I miss gentle pete.

(also as a parody of then-current children's education) Lewis Carroll was a huge math nerd (he was a big prof at Cambridge iirc) who would then in turn create logic puzzles to try to entertain little girls. So he could convince them to get naked for him. Yes, really. Reading writings by him on the subject come across as some seriously skeevy Humbert Humbert level self-delusion.

RandomFerret posted:What I thought was interesting is that Bilbo really wasn't affected all that much by the ring. He held onto it for decades and used it on the regular enough to have his life significantly prolonged, it just didn't affect his mind all that much. He had some withdrawal effects after he let it go, but while he had it the only real negative effect it had on his personality was that he told Gandalf a minor fib once, and he eventually came clean about that. He didn't even have that hard a time giving it away. Ferrule posted:I love a good allegory for puberty.
