I have lemmy set to show me a thumbnail and only expand when I tap, so I saw the message before I saw the bunnies.

I won’t tell if you won’t tell.
If I understood, I wouldn’t have to ask.
Yes, but if they’re just minimums, there’s no need for even using the third dimension, let alone the fourth.
I do.
So the fifth person to arrive moves to the centre of the tetrahedron and shifts roughly 1.299m into the past or future.
I have a few questions.
- How do you attain time offset?
- Doesn’t that make conversation difficult?
- What even is the fifth dimension?
- How do you convert a distance in metres into a distance in time? You would surely then have a universal m/s? Oh, wait, there is a universal speed, it’s the speed of light, which means 1.299m is equivalent to about 4.3 billionths of a second, which is considerably less impressive for question 1 and just not at all problematic for question 2.
- If you’re using very fast motion for your time offset, doesn’t that make conversation even more difficult? How fast would you need to be going to dilate time for a few billionths of a second? Doesn’t Heisenberg uncertainty start to have an impact here? How can you be sure you got it right?
It’s not a square based pyramid, it’s a triangular based pyramid. Imagine the top right hand one floating up onto the air and moving to hover above the centre of the other three (which move to make an equalateral triangle). The distances work but the layout changes.

First they came for the immigrants, but I did not speak out, because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the students who protested Israel, but I did not speak out, because I was not a student, and I did not protest.
Then they came for the Hispanics, but I did not speak out, because I was not Hispanic.
Then they came for the trans people, but I did not speak out, because I was not trans.
Then they came for the gay people, but I did not speak out, because I was not gay.
Then they came for the Muslims, but I did not speak out, because I was not Muslim.
Then they came for the people claiming benefits, but I did not speak out, because I did not claim benefits.Before all of this, they came for the black people who smoked a little weed, or shouted at cops who were shouting at them, and they locked them up and made them work for nothing or a nearly nothing wage, in prisons that profit from people who suffer for skin that’s not pink and parents who were poor.
And when I asked my neighbour to not let his dog poop on my lawn, and he informed the authorities that I was disloyal to the president, they came for me, and my wife, and my children, and there was no one to speak out for me, and no one to defend me and no one to care because we had all run out of care, tired of turning our eyes from the despotic travesty of everything America was supposed to not be.

Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Trump involved in discussions over suspending habeas corpus, sources say12·7 days agoAmerica, this is your final warning.
Without habeas corpus, you are no longer the land of the free in any sense whatsoever, you will become the land of the unlawfully detained without legal recourse.
If the courts lose their ability to free individual persons, the president or anyone else in the administration, police, ICE or other force can
SENTENCE YOU to LIFE IMPRISONMENT on a WHIM.
And there’s not a single thing you or anyone else can do about it AT ALL.
Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.

When Trump does something incomprehensibly useless from an American perspective, always ask “What’s in it for Putin?” and you may find you get answers.

Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled.7·12 days agoDepends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.

Great quote on sexual attention: “it’s like one person dying of dehydration watching another person drowning”
Only by batshit insane system wreckers. Normal systems don’t do this at all.
