my favorite part of this is the funerary at the top so upon its inevitable destruction will rain corpses for miles as opposed to just dropping them to the earth

this reminded me of a really stupid soviet anecdote about physicists researching the stability of a table with an infinite number of legs

i heard it some 6 years ago, so i won't be of a great help with literal version of if

the story went that bunch of physicists couldn't figure why their table with 3 legs (think 3 corners on a rectangular desk) was wobbly, so they first looked at the stability of the desk with no legs, then with 1 leg, and then with n legs

my favorite is one about a physicist tearing out his hair trying to develop the optimum chicken feed but he hasn't succeeded because the formula only works with a positive number of chickens each having nonzero mass

You know when you were a kid messing around with a camcorder or whatever with your mates and one of you randomly did something really cool/funny and you were all really excited to watch it but then you realised it wasn't recording, so you're like 'quick do that cool/funny thing again and we'll film it this time' but by then it's completely lost it's magic and is really lame and contrived. That's basically every big budget film that comes out these days.

i'm guilty of sometimes fidgeting with my phone while i walk, but i've never hit something or someone and i'm legit confused as to why people stare at the floor instead of raising their gadget at the same eye level as they'd have normally walking

if you normalize the behavior of walking while staring downwards by installing floor lights, all you're doing is moving the fatalities to other street corners

same but driving but because of henious text and drive laws you have to be subtle and hide it between your legs, rather than up at eye height which exposes your crime but is ironically far safer

I remember having to catch a ride to a car dealership with an employee (I was buying a car there, so they had me drop off my other at home and get a ride back for the new) and the kid driving was texting/talking the whole time, with his boss, and was absolutely terrible. Couldn't drive in a straight line, indecisive at lights, completely inattentive. I'm still young and can't do that poo poo
