Garfield, did you move a small region of the universe to a true vacuum state?

[-] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What if the true vacuum state is just different enough for new physics, such that everyone gets psychic powers and nothing else changes.

Haters would say the real true vacuum state will take away my powers and I would psychically attack them for that view

Since the collapse would happen only at the speed of light, and the universe is so vast, it could have been happening for millions of years by now and the human race could still die by natural extinction before it gets anywhere near us. If the collapse originates from beyond the observable universe, it’d never reach us.

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 46 points 2 months ago

The neat thing is the collapse travels at the speed of light, so nobody will ever know what hit them.

[-] hDGGgrLpg8nEucjxWnJz@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Maybe it's already on the way

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 11 points 2 months ago

We can only hope

It definitely is if anyone placed it on a high surface near a cat.

Maybe it's arriving all the time but we don't notice because of quantum immortality.

This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.

[-] don@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Yes, it’s from Waterworld.

Oh I should rewatch. Last time I saw in the drive in.

Favorite moment in the film.

[-] electricyarn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They put so much heart into a character with barely any screen time.

[-] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

There is an entire sub-genre in Comics of cartoons riffing on Garfield like this one. Nearly every cartoonist has done it and, oh my lord, it fills me with joy & reminds me why I actually love people.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 13 points 2 months ago

If I remember correctly Jim Davis has even said he likes and approves of such things. Wasn't there a Garfield minus Garfield book published at some point with his blessing?

ImSorryJon was popular too
