Absolutely nothing, because I wouldn't want a stranger to talk to me in an elevator and I was raised to do unto others.

I make brief eye contact, purse my lips to form a half-smile, and nod my head downward. Then i move to an open corner of the elevator, i pull my phone out, and i end my turn.

Lady in red. It's a simulation, no experiment is going to show anything worthwhile.

"Look again."

looks

"Fuck, I wish you'd stop doing that, Morpheus."

[-] Emi@ani.social 51 points 3 months ago

Nothing and just awkwardly stare on the floor or wall, like with anyone else.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago

Well, considering the only elevator I take is to a secure area, I'd ask to see your visitor's badge and inform you civilians aren't allowed here unescorted.

Absolutely nothing because people who have elevator conversations are not worth talking to.

Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because... Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. "Paku Paku" means "flap your mouth", and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like...

I wouldn't say anything because some women find elevator pickup attempts intimidating.

[-] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 3 months ago

Nothing because I'm taking the stairs

Get in the lift.

Stare while ripping an absolutely rancid fart that strips the enamel off her teeth.

Sharpie my number across her tits and give her "double-guns" on the way out

I don't understand. What's a uniform gravitational field and why does being inside one feels like standing in an accelerating elevator?

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

This is a joke about Einstein's form of the Equivalence Principle:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle

[-] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thanks. Let's see:

The weak equivalence principle, also known as the universality of free fall or the Galilean equivalence principle can be stated in many ways.

And

"... in a uniform gravitational field all objects, regardless of their composition, fall with precisely the same acceleration." "The weak equivalence principle implicitly assumes that the falling objects are bound by non-gravitational forces."[11]

I'm just beginning to understand. I'm not there yet.

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²

This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

If a hotdog is a sandwich, is the ocean a soup?

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

A hotdog is not a sandwich.

If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.

But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.

QED.

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

In German, that would be a just a sausage

Going down?

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 months ago

This is getting insane. I (somewhat at least) get those "you have 24hs with me" ones but what am i gonna do with you in 8 seconds. Id rather spend 24h with an egirl than 8 seconds with you lol.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

You don't have the proper PPE for the radiologically controlled area.

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

"Nice uhh, b-leather we're having, uh."

cry, drop my spaghetti and run out

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

Tip my fedora and say M'Lady

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Nothing, I don't like small talk with strangers.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I was looking at my phone and didn’t notice you.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Is this elevator always that fast?

(Before hitting either the ceiling or the floor and both dying, probably.)

[-] werejay@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

"Are you an AI model?" #new_kind_of_creepy

[-] just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Realistically nothing. You gain very little by saying something than you lose not saying anything. The only time people are somewhat open to being talked to, is when they already recognise you a little...

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

How did you get into my private elevator? SECURITY!

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

Does someone have the rest of the photo set or video.... For research.

[-] Ajel@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Boobs are not supposed to be a solid blob... What have you done to them?
