Why are these the passengers

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think that is how I would be if on a ship.without a computer, going insane.

... Millennial squats.

Dosen't matters what you choose, given that for sisyphus to reach his destination first he have to reach half, then half of it, then half again and again making movement impossible.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, so the answer must be no.

"Hołd my limes!" - said Sisyphus

Stands up and walks away

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 year ago

Yes, because he's finally rolling the boulder down a hill.

[-] nicknonya 8 points 1 year ago

it says "towards" so not necessarily downhill

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily downhill, but the possibility of downhill is implied. Both of these locations would need to be infinitely high in order for the direction to be uphill.

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

AFAIK "infinitely up" is more plausible than "infinitely down", as in most systems you would eventually hit a center-of-mass when going down.

you can always add an empty room without changing the total number of rooms, so there should be plenty of room for sisyphus and his boulder at the hotel

[-] StoicLime@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

We won't know until we open the box...

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I feel really sorry for the cleaning crew at the hotel

[-] PrinceWith999Enemies@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

If he goes to the hotel, though, he will get to hear a great story from the owner of the hotel about a once beautiful but now decaying resort that includes a sweeping adventure involving a not-exactly-straight con man, an art theft that was not a theft, Willem Dafoe, and Tilda Swinton.

When the math teacher does philosophy questions.

Sisyphus is rolling his boulder along a track toward the ship of theseus. It has had all its constituent parts removed and replaced and reconstructed along an alternate track. You may pull a lever and divert Sisyphus toward the reconstructed ship. How big of a dick would that make you toward the shipmaker?

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 5 points 1 year ago

He can't go to the hotel because infinite cannot divided by zero, which is his boulder

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

The real question is.... will it take him more than a day to reach either one?

Decent game. 4/5

[-] wieson@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Someone's read Sartre's Huis Clos (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

theseus can eat shit so fuck that nerd.

[-] merari42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Na, I am pretty sure that sysiphus sees tracks that are only the result of a shwadow play in a cave and you have to exit the cave to truly experience reality
