holy moly, look how fucking crisp that old ass meme is. no dschiffpegg artifacts whatsoever. my eyeballs cut themself on the sharpness of the pixels.
anyway heres some goobicii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQQW-On0uY
Wow it is just terrible
heh also -
Nice try, Gemini
Such gud song. I cri evritim
Thank you for posting the masterpiece behind the copy.
This shows a paradox naturally resolving itself.
So now the pizza is never eaten :(
Edit: Now that I think about it, won’t it get colder over time? Omg I’m not going to continue I’m falling down a hole that way
Since it’s stuck in a loop, maybe its conditions are somehow being reset to fresh and hot as it’s pulled over the panel edge. Or else, that thing is ice cold, rock hard, and completely inhospitable to microbial life, since from its perspective, it’s probably been looping for a long, long time.
From the naive perspective it’s looping infinitely and it ought to be infinitely old because there’s no “first loop”. Depending on the laws of physics, proton decay could make the pizza slice literally impossible.
Given that it clearly exists and has no rot let alone deep-time decay, I posit that it spontaneously appears/renews in panel three, away from the boundary break, as some kind of near-infinitely improbable entropy break.
He thinks he’s discovered panel time travel, but it’s far weirder than he thinks.
A better question: what if a bite is taken out of it in panel 3? How many bites will have been taken out of it in panel 2?
It’s like how Kirk’s glasses are just going to get older and more worn-out with every loop.
There is a smart and funny french comic on this concept: “Imbattable” by Pascal Jousselin
The author plays with all the rules/codes of the European comics, one character can go through pages, another uses their speech “bubbles” as weapons, one uses the perspective of the objets, and the hero “Imbattable” can go through the page’s frame.
Highly recommended !
the pizza, being in an infinite time loop, would eventually mold if it were a normal slice of pizza. probably for the best that he didnt get to eat it…
Someone gif the comic into a horror panel
Depending on how closed loops of time work
This is a pretty cool thought experiment. From our perspective, there is nothing about this that wouldn’t allow the comic to just keep going. Despite it being a “paradox” from the perspective of the characters, from ours it just is, and doesn’t look particularly nonsensical, just quirky. I wonder if that’s how an eternal/4th dimension being would see our history
The first thing I thought was “that’s neat,” and the second thing that came to mind was “that pizza never existed until it was taken from the future.”
I mean, yeah, the comic could continue, and the characters could ignore it, but… does this imply that the characters can will anything into existence so long as it eventually disappears? Could they “borrow” a car from 10 years in the future so long as it’s taken by their past selves in 10 years?
Only from the perspective of the characters, though. To us it clearly existed in panels 3 and 4, prime for taking by any higher dimensional beings, that’s what I mean. It doesn’t mean the characters can will anything into existence, it means that time is just another dimension to travel through, and there are entities (that one slice of pizza for example) that travel backwards and forwards.
Another way of seeing this is that it would look equally alien to our 2 dimensional shadows when we pick something from our pockets, or turn something inside out, but it still makes sense to us 3d beings
Us: it’s a paradox! Time is broken!!!
Them: that’s just bistability, big whoop.
I wonder if that’s how an eternal/4th dimension being would see our history
Our history on earth: “We’re sick of this asshole ruling over the people! Lets start a war to remove/kill him!!!”
war happens
“Ok, glad he’s gone. Now introducing the newest asshole to rule over the people!!!”
some time passes
repeat
“Why do these earthlings KEEP DOING THIS SHIT???”
Quantum electrodynamics in a nutshell
Ontalogical Paradox detected!
Is this supposed to be a parable about humanity living on credit?
It is now that you mention it
… maybe. :)
Casually creates a time loop
Japanese ppl: DON MAI
8-Bit Theater made this into a plot point. Hilariously so.
Instant paradox. XD
I hate that this is actually how the universe works, total BS.
If you hurry up and eat it before it gets taken back, that’s some lovely calorie-free pizza! Imagine starting a pizza chain like that
🤯
I thought that was the Duolingo mascot for a minute hehehe :3
