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.

Absolutely wild to read through this thread and see coalies conclude that the person saying it’s best to leave a polite comment on an unwanted gift and move on is the troll.

Yes, because that's all "they're" saying

Absolutely wild to see you self-reply like this.

There really is a subset of exchange participants who go absolutely insane if you suggest their overly complex, passive-aggressive, non-communicative way of doing things is both rude and miserable.
