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.

How many times must someone say FFA's bizarre neuroses do not constitute a norm before you understand? Do you struggle to comprehend that the earth revolves around the sun, as well?

DC: It's not even FFA's bizarre neuroses - one of the examples is barely an example, just mentioning the concept of names in author's notes in passing, and one involved the socktopus.

Incredible. As you can tell I didn't bother clicking because FFA is constantly having these "if you don't do this insane thing i just made up you're a cyberbully and a gaslighter" BFE wanks and every time my reaction is "no one else worries about this. Or thinks about it. Ever."
