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.

Is the One Piece stuff swamping everything?

Looking through the main collection in various ways, One Piece Live Action (OPLA) has:
- 7 works on the first page when sorting by kudos
- 6 works on the first page when sorting by hits
- 6 works on the first page when sorting by bookmarks
- Nothing on the first page when sorting by comments. Most-commented OPLA work has 10 comments, half of which are the creator’s replies.

One OPLA work in particular has the top kudos and hits in the collection (about 1309 hits, 205 kudos). This same work also has 22 bookmarks (tied for second with an Ateez music video fic when sorted by bookmarks. Most bookmarks goes to a Goncharov work with 33 bookmarks.)

So yeah, that's a lot of attention.
