You are applying too much classical thinking.
Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.
It is all possible states, at the same time.
Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.
No worries, I don’t expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.
The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.
This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.
A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).
So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny
Look at this guy, blithely inviting a holy war to his doorstep.
I mean wouldn’t it be crazy, to get something like people are eating cats and dogs publicly said.
Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.
The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.
Also as others pointed out, we don’t work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more…so the natural protection isn’t building up like it did in the past.

I fixed this, tell the grandmother, I’ll only send the pictures etc via signal.
Set it up for her, put it on the home screen.
It depends on what you are looking for.
Look at the classics, some can be a bit heavy. But there is generally a reason they are considered classic stories.
If cosmic inflation is correct, probably not. Inflation is our best theory of the beginning of the universe.
According to inflation, spacetime expanded exponentially from an infinitesimal point to many billions of light-years across. As far as we can tell, the universe is expanding again but at a much slower rate, due to dark energy.
Spacetime survived the inflationary period, so it looks like it doesn’t have a “tear” mechanism.
Another way to think of it, is to assume once torn, what is it tearing “into”. If you rip a bit of fabric, you look through to the other side, nothing special. If you tear our 4-dimentional spacetime, what are you looking at when you look “through” the ripped portion? This implies that out 4D spacetime is somehow existing in a higher dimensional reality.
Legend!
Long ago when I worked in supermarkets, our 12 item line was a hard limit; the scanner stopped working at 12. If you had more than that, it was your hard luck item 13 simply wouldn’t scan.
Many times this caused problems, mainly for the customer.
Customer: Hey it is only 2 more items.
Operator: But I can’t scan it, the scanner stops at 12.
Customer: But it is only two more items!!
Operator: I understand that, but the scanner won’t take them.
Customer: FINE, just start a new transaction!
Operator: If you will please go to the back of the line then.
Customer: WHAT, but I’m here now!!!
Supervisor: What seems to be the problem here?
Operator: More than 12 items.
Customer: I ONLY HAVE 2 EXTRA ITEMS!!!
Supervisor: I understand, if you could please go to the back of the line to get the extra two items, we will be happy to help you.
Customer: WHAT THE FUCK, IT IS JUST TWO EXTRA ITEMS!!!
Supervisor: If you want, them in one transaction we can cancel this one and move you to a full sized checkout.
Customer: …ENRAGED RANTING…
Supervisor: If you are going to be abusive to me or my staff, I’ll have to ask you to leave.
Word of that type of thing gets around, for the number of people through the supermarket, the total number of incidents was very low. But they happened at least once a week.
I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.
Delay it until January, kill two birds with one stone.
Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.
It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.
I have office 2007 on a winxp VM, I haven’t had to use it in a few years, but it is there as a back up
When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.
e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say “zero”, then spot 31 is “one” etc… till you are at spot 35 saying “five”.
Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as “one”
