you can’t escape the second law of thermodynamics
the universe is the ultimate escape room
In theory you can because the second law is actually a statistical and probabilistic thing. Currently it looks like that the laws of physics are time direction independent. So if you play a physics simulation forwards and backwards you couldn’t tell the difference for a small number of particles so it it actually can (and does on very small time scales) happen that entropy decreases.
New enemy acquired: people who use “smth”
shaking my tiny head
They will be sent to the same gulag where we send people who say “the ask”, “the spend” or “emails”. Get on the bus!
smth the matter?
Ugh
It’s short for “smith”
The secret is to clean a big thing by dirtying a little thing.
But then here in like 10^10^10^56 years*, a new big bang will probably happen and the cycle starts anew
*It doesn’t actually matter what units you use, milliseconds and stellar lifespans are the same at this scale
This has always been one of my favorite short stories. For those who might not know the reference: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html
but then when the universe dies and someone comes to clean it off, all that mess will just be smeared all over something else
You mean when the vacuum cleaner comes?
the cosmic vacuum cleaner
‘She’s switched from Suck to Blow!’
It ends in compost (or it should).
I think context is key here. Your floor is dirty when you poop on it, but is your colon dirty when it has poop in it?
Your plate is dirty when it has left over food on it, but is it dorty while you are eating from it?
What an awful thing to read with a diarrhea.
Be thankful it’s just one diarrhea.
Your diarrhea can read? Aww
Two pieces of shit go down the road, puting the masks, to enter and rob the bank.
A diarrhea asks if it can come too.
One of the pieces of shit says:
“This is for tough ones.”
Ignoring context is often the key to humor.
What do you mean?
Jokes quite often rely on imperfect superficial information, precisely because thinking too much about the subject matter contradicts whatever is being said in the joke. It’s a form of artistic license.
Thank you, I was being a troll but I appreciate the explanation
It’s the same for vermin and pest plants. You decide what’s part of it, depending on if it’s useful for you or not.

Me trying to explain to my therapist why everything is going to shit.
To reduce entropy at one place (make it ordered), it has to increase at another place.
This whole universe is rigged! lol
edit: typo
Welcome to thermodynamics, where the rules are:
1-You cannot win, only lose or break even.
2-You can only break even at absolute zero.
3-You can not reach absolute zero.
Sounds like you’re gambling with physics there. /S
- You can’t win
- You can’t break even
- You can’t get out of the game
This explains why I don’t clean. I will clean my room later then because of this.
While funny, its not actually that deep. Either the last cleaning item gets thrown away, or put in a machine to be cleaned. Thats the end of it.
And the water goes into the sewage and to a water treatment plant. But where do they put the dirt from the plant?
The cleaning ended for me.
They have bacteria digest as much as possible and burn the leftovers.
Digestion probably forms CO2 or Methane, burning definitely does form CO2.
So the final rag is our air.
Right, but then the machine gets dirty or the water it uses gets dirty, or the rubbish bin you threw it into gets dirty. Where does it end? Kinda fucked up ngl
It ends then. Bins and machines get cleaned very infrequently.
Dirt cant be dirty. Just throw the water into dirt
Dirty is dirt’s natural state.
That just makes the water even dirtier though!
The water will evaporate
Leaving dirt.
But there was already dirt so it wouldnt become dirtier
You had dirt, it is now dirty dirt.
I will confer with Dirtfucias and Dirtptalomy The Elder and consider their positions on the matter.
In the game Warframe you have a schizophrenic ship AI who has lots of funny voice lines, he sometimes says this:
“Ordis went mad for 3 milliseconds when he realized that each time he cleans something he makes something else dirty… agh! There I go again.”
Here’s the audio:

Ah, life: An unceasing battle against thermodynamics that can end only in inevitable failure. In the end, even the vaguest echoes of the causal memories of us will be wiped clean when the rightful order is fully restored, universal bigotry wins, and everything is - finally - completely homogeneous.
And boring.
universal bigotry wins
Have you considered working in physics?
Not beyond the level of a profoundly fascinated hobbyist. I know my limits :)
Professionally, I’ll stick to my closely parallel lane in computing (no Black Holes involved - the I/O is notoriously difficult to manage, more’s the pity).
