A high effort shitpost? That's a rare gem that is.

Murphy's Razor is the silliest.

It should be "Anything that can be simple will not be."

Schrödinger's cat is still dead AND alive not dead OR alive.

[–] Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 days ago

It is dead AND alive before you check and collapses into dead XOR alive when you check.

But yes, the short description also irked me a little. It's really hard to write it concisely without leaving out important bits (like we both did too).

I always thought this was just for the sake of the measurements and math working out, while in reality it is one or the other

murphy's gun sounds like a pretty good piece of firearm safety advice.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It basically already is, it just isn't stated as such.

Treat every weapon as if is loaded untill you have personally and properly verified that it is not.

&

Never, EVER, point a gun at anything you do not intend to destroy.

...

Those two are in basically any gun safety rule set you can find, and they pretty much combine into 'Murphy's Gun'.

Note that number 2 there makes no exception for 'my finger wasn't on the trigger' or 'the gun was in a desk drawer' or 'i didn't think it was loaded' or 'i thought the safety was on'.

A lot of people will read or be told number 2 and just insert all those non existent caveats into the rule.

I think Schrödinger's Razor is the reason I have an online shopping addiction

A cat in a box will stay in the box unless distracted by an outside noise.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 days ago

And if it gets out of the box it is shot

ignoring Chekov's Gun as a writer is my favorite past time

I would prefer Murphy's cat: "Any time there's a cat, it will make something go wrong."

And Murphy's razor: "The simplest problem is probably the one that happens."
