Disregard everything I am a massive faggot

It would. Coats like that exist. Hard to get correct alignment and high enough resolution for convincing invisibility though, especially when the wearer is moving.

Assuming the mirror was there ten years ago, yes.

The poke won't move faster than the speed of propagation through the rod. You can't have a rod that big that's completely rigid.

>>3101412

Try doing a flip.

Closed/Open system herp derp. Good one though.

>>3101259

Pretty much the same joke as this one.

>>3101243

Hah, it'll never work.

I'm more of a checkers player.

Or Thud.

Troll science thread. Bonus points for troll biology.

It's based on two different strips actually, the FPS mod and the current history reenactment guy.

>>3067232

That's not an original XKCD strip. It's from the "We make XKCD slightly worse" thread on their forums.

That sort of rules out the possibility that the benefits of cooperation with be bigger than the benefits of and majorly increase the risks associated with attempting to gain power in a sufficently advanced society though.

>Technically the human brain has infinite storage, since when it runs out of synapses it just recycles them. Its capacity at any given time is finite, but theoretically, over an infinite period of time a brain could store, or have stored in the past, all possible information.

>Infinite information storage because you can delete information and replace it with new.

I'm sorry, what?

Will a more technologically advanced civilization be less inclined to acts of war, and if so, how long untill we are likely to see a statistically significant difference?

You do know there is official art of her naked at his blog, right?

I can find no statistically significant devinations from this conclusion

>>3064222

Course not.

Again, I don't really get that. If he really is an exact copy, does it matter if the information stored in it's brain was formed by interaction with the enviroment, or copied from another brain where the information had been formed by interaction with the environment?

Discontinious conciousness. The clone won't give a shit, and I'm dead, so I can't give a shit.

NO PROBLEM.

>>3006986

From the point of view of the clone it wouldn't make a difference thuogh. Just as I'm not the same person I was five minutes ago, and I won't be the same person in five minutes. And every interation of my conciousness is gone forever. But as the current me, I don't give a shit, and I don't think any of the future iterations of my non-static self will give a shit either.

SPAAAAACE!
