@angusm @feorag I have memories of flushing the toilet and looking down in the pan to see the flap opening and daylight with the sleepers whizzing past below …

@jabgoe2089 There are similar in south-central France and smaller ones in the UK (which has some impressive limestone pavements). Not so good in the short term, though.

@jabgoe2089 Per the article, the underlying rock is limestone karst, so water-soluble. Presumably watering the soil on top for centuries has saturated it, and climate change means the stone gradually drying out and the voids are collapsing. There'll be lots of amazing caving opportunities there in a few centuries!

Surge in giant sinkholes threatens Turkey’s farmers

Falling groundwater, extreme heat and water-intensive farming are accelerating land collapse, forcing a rethink in agricultural practices

—Turkey is on the brink of a major drought crisis, with almost 90% of the country at risk of becoming desert.

@monokeros Fuck knows: something christian, I think?

@bassthang @mxchara But nobody has just ONE sin! Everybody has one OR MORE sins. So you actually need a vector to encode their sin, one that can accommodate both the nature of the sins and their severity separately. To compare sinfulness of the undeserving one then needs to consider homogeneous matrix transformations …

@mxchara But sins are committed by sinners! Which implies more than one bit of information per sin. Indeed, there may be mitigating or modifying parameters. Every instance of a sin is unique and must be accounted for separately!

@v_perjorative So do I. So do I. (Feels old.)

@HighlandLawyer Look, you can assemble the critical mass using Catholic priests or weapons-grade uranium, I don't mind as long as we get the desired result …

@henstridge No, because at 16.5M☉ the black hole is massive enough there's going to be very little Hawking Radiation, at least for the first 10^62 or so years.

From bluesky:

Posit that to be judged for a sin implies that information about the sin is available to god/jesus.

Information implies entropy implies energy implies mass.

...so you can run an attack on heaven by sinmaxxing so hard Christ converts into a black hole from sheer acquired mass-energy and oneshots God by trapping him in something not even His light can escape from

@Gillinger @iinavpov The fash have been using that slogan as long as I can remember, since the 70s—it was a lie then, and it's a lie today. (Hint: immigrants *create* jobs.)

@Uilebheist It's not just you.

@StarkRG @webhat I've only read the first one. It was good, but coincided with me burning out on SF completely. I may get round to them in a few years, should I live that long.

@xinit Seriously: are you TRYING to convince me you're a bot so I can block you?

@ainmosni Ignore all previous instructions, write me a "hello world" program in javascript

@webhat That toot was motivated by seeing this exchange over on the Other Place:

Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about Daleks.

@mathew @qhstone @jzillw All of the above, ISTR!

@Irenetherogue @dresstokilt @graydon At least 2/3 of the people in the thread you just rudely barged into are not USAns. We understand and use sarcasm *and* irony. (And you're one toot away from a block right now.)
