smug n stuff posted:

kinda but I thought you could use it to communicate instantaneously
like you could push one end of the cable in a morse code pattern or something, and the other end would move at the exact same time, so you could communicate faster than the speed of light.
Space Elevators are different I think?

a signal would only travel through the stick at the speed of sound in the medium of stick.

sure it would be fast, but light and radio waves would still be significantly faster

EDIT:Ohshit , also i thought babies happened when a mother and a father kissed, something from the dad went into the mum and something of the mum went into the dad.

I remember thinking I could play a PC game on my stereo by just putting the CDROM in my cd player and then somehow play them using the buttons and sound cues

I remember being deathly afraid of touching the sand while wading out at the beach.

I had read something about coneshells

And was afraid of touching one and dying
