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.

Googled what lutefisk is and I'm outraged for you, OP!

I thought the label was a joke so I opened it up and took a big whiff, expecting standard cinnamon or whatever.

Nearly puked in the gift bag.

What the fuck was that person thinking?! And why does this even exist, for that matter?

That'd be a great gag gift—uh, quite literally, in this case—but outside of that context I think it has to be interpreted as a fuck you.
