I love how it looks like the cat is looking at the empty box thinking "Yo wtf???”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It probably is actually.

Funnily enough due to the weird quantum properties of light.

ngl, I just call it "glass" and "reflection"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So what is reflection?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Not today, science man. You ain't foolin me with your "simple questions"!

1 downvote probably didn't scroll back up the 2 cm

Wait. Shouldn't the cat be in both boxes, though? The two states are dead or alive and not nonexistent or existent

The cat's a Jedi. It fades away when it dies.

shhhh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Yes, but it does not change anything to the statement, it is irrelevant whether it is illustrated with alive/dead or existing/non-existent

Is this AI?

No, this is Patrick.

Uh no?

Sorry, forgot to add /s

No, partially reflective mirror, because it's dark outside where the cat is.
