Morbane's coal

[coalcube]

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Especially since it’s not really true! I mean, yes, there’s not a single word for it in Latin, and it very likely wasn’t an identity category, but Roman authors absolutely talk about men who are more inclined or exclusively inclined to one gender of sexual partner. Suetonius says of Claudius, for example, “ libidinis in feminas profusissimae, marum omnino expers” (“towards women, his sexual interest was tremendously immoderate, but he completely lacked it for males”) and of Galba “pronior in mares” (“he was more inclined to males”).
