Morbane's coal

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.

Re: I think I got Untherius' fic

I think that if Untherius actually cared about anon forums, he would know exactly why his fic is inappropriate and not well liked. So either he visits and doesn't give a shit, knowing his recipient is unlikely to be pleased by his bad faith gift. Or he doesn't visit. Either way, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recipient leaving a nice comment on the off chance that he doesn't visit and complaining about their very justified grievances here.
