If you put an “i” before the “s” it becomes political content for real for hexbear lol
It’s clearly just saying that the surfaces on which the ends of the cylinder lie are metric spaces with distances defined using Chebyshev or Taxicab metrics based on pentagonal tilings of the parabolic plane so the ratio of a circle’s circumference to diameter is 5.
Since it’s a cylinder we assume the vertical dimension is Euclidean and voila the math checks out geometrically.
Your username is purple. Thank you for developing the Voyager app lol
Came here to second this. I have ADHD and basically the only thing most drugs do to me is give me a headache. I don’t get drunk, weed does nothing, and i don’t get high or withdrawals from stimulant meds though very high doses of methylphenidate will make me slightly anxious.
Whether OP has “ADHD” or not, he certainly seems to have a similar kind of neurodivergence to you and I
I have had the same thought before. Unfortunately conservation of energy is not enough to ensure entropy is monotonically increasing.
Say you created a tiny universe with the same average entropy of our universe and then you connected it to the edge of our universe. Energy is not conserved because you just added some, but entropy is because you didn’t create an entropy potential.
Say you had a warmer object and a colder object and you took all the heat energy from the cold object and added it to the warm object. The energy of your system was conserved, but its entropy decreased, violating the second law.
You can use violations of the second law to violate the other laws because entropy naturally wants to increase due to probability (which cannot be violated without destroying math and logic etc.).
In the scenario above, if you put some fluid between the two objects you could harness convection via a turbine to harvest energy. Even though your action of moving energy around didn’t create or destroy energy, it created a sort of entropic potential energy. Kind of like how teleporting an object to a higher elevation doesn’t really increase any energy in the universe since all mass and kinetic energy were conserved, but you’ve now increased the potential energy of the object which would become kinetic energy as the object falls back down. You could then harvest infinite energy if you repeated the cycle.
In order for one to move energy around via magic without violating entropy, one has to increase the entropy of the universe by at least the same amount it would take to move that energy without magic.
The solution I thought of was just that magic accelerates the expansion of the universe. Technically this still allows for some “impossible” stuff locally, like a perpetual motion machine or free energy generator that will eventually die but on the timescale of human lives seem infinite.
Magic would get weaker with use over time as the universe nears it’s equilibrium temperature, and you would be shortening the lifespan of the universe every time magic is used. But even if you used it excessively, you probably wouldn’t be shortening the lifespan of the universe by very much unless you were using magic to like move black holes around or rearrange galactic clusters.
That still is a violation of entropy because you’ve increased the “order” of energy in the universe as a whole, which is not possible.
If you can violate entropy, one can create a more than perfect Carnot Engine (or in general just a heat engine with efficiency greater than 1) which would allow you to generate an infinite amount of energy in the form of mechanical motion.
Unless in creating/gaining “mana” one is accelerating the entropic decay of the universe as a whole equal to or greater than the amount of entropy reversed locally (eg spells must produce heat and be inefficient at converting mana energy into work), magic would violate thermodynamics and allow for infinite energy creation.
Fuck the square cube law. If there is any magic that can freeze things / make things cold, the second law of thermodynamics is void, and by extension the other two are as well.
Perpetual motion machines? Hell yeah. Infinite energy? Hell yeah. Being able to create negative energy by decreasing entropy thus being able to create antigravity and simulate negative mass? Hell yeah

My siblings and I would occasionally eat raw okra from our garden growing up. They’re covered in fuzz that is really soft when they’re small, and it’s quite a weird texture experience with slimy ball-bearing-like seeds on the inside lol
This article has made me realize it has been way too long since I last had gumbo or jumbalaya or any good homemade southern cooking. :(

是的,我是美国人。我的文法很不好。
I did not think that was common practice or even a thing anyone would do at all till I was with a girl who told me she called her pussy “Patricia”
The sex was great and she (the woman not “Patricia” lol) is a wonderful person, but I was, and still am, vaguely unsettled by someone naming their genitals…
