521 - Matters Of Dimension: Other, Physical, and Vast

(Referring to a rather loud conversation over Jif vs another’s memory of Jiffy peanut butter – Mr. Silver)
[10:17 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"Mandela effect"
[10:27 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have been having a lot more Deja Vu recently
[10:18 AM] 
Actually...
Although I was convinced long ago about the perceivable universe being not quite right since I was little...
And eventually decided on the practical inevitability of a multiverse and repeating and divergent timelines...
And ultimately started to suspect a simulation on top of all that to explain some things...
I've – as you've seen/read – become pretty sure of mutability and alterations to reality happening.
Whether reprogramming is involved, or actual instability and shifting between versions. 
And
I hit a BIG one the other day with Silver Junior.
He's become a chess fiend.
I taught him to play, and he eventually pursued online play vs bots and real people, from novices to masters.
He's becoming good at it.
He has beaten me when I'm fooling around.
The other day he pulled a move that was not legal, and I told him so.
"Yes it is.  Has a weird name.  Um."
"Well...it's pawns.  Are you saying it's some variant of en passant?  Because it doesn't work like that."
"Yes it does." 
"No, it absolutely doesn't.  I've been playing since I was about 5.  Hundreds of games.  I was in 2 chess clubs.  In 40+ years I've not seen it done like that." 
"I saw it online."
"Look it up, please."
He did
It was correct.
The odds that I did not know the rule and the play are precisely zero.
"Clever... P.O.G."
"What?"
"The universe has been changed.  It shifted or was altered.  This rule was not real before."
"Oh.  Cool."
So I showed him what it used to do and we kept playing.
(The End)
[10:34 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Actually, i go through periods of de ja vu
[10:36 AM] 
"I have this weird feeling of deja vu that I've had deja vu about having deja vu about this."
[10:37 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I'm a Deja vu sensitive
What if we find out that stuff like this has changed because of normal fluctuations in dimensions
[10:51 AM] 
Like error corrections?
How do you prove it?
[10:51 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
like if it did NOT do this, everything would go out of existence
[10:51 AM] 
Well...that would prove it to anything that survived...which would be nothing.
[10:51 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I still like the theory of gravity being varying levels of static cling
It's hard to prove lots of different things
What if dark matter is actually dimensional matter
[10:55 AM] 
...other... other-dimensional matter...
I'm sitting on a chair made of dimensional matter
[10:56 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Right
Who got Tom started on the Mandela effect anyway?
[11:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
They were talking about peanut butter
[11:25 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
oh
Then in that case its Jiffy
Which does exist
I refuse to believe it never did
lol



[10:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
[10:25 AM] 
Wow...that's a really complex “recreation of skull”.  I wonder what he looked like with hair and skin and all on top of that.
[10:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
"The most famous retarded pirate"
[10:26 AM] 
Haha
"Best known for his catchphrase, motto, and battle cry: 'Pi-rate!'."
[10:28 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Looks like a Muppet
Jim Henson productions presents: “The Special Pirate”
[10:28 AM] 
I like the cactus jacket.  Too bad it's not him.
"A memorial to him in statue form is in Hamburg -  pictured here - titled 'Stortebeker Hiding His Treasure in Front of the Girls'."
[10:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Nothing funnier to a king than a dip in a bristly sweater
Kings (and possibly everyone?) had really juvenile senses of humor back then
[10:35 AM] 
I'm sure their sense of what was sophisticated was different, but that sense of humor still exists now
(King) "Ye gods! Another pair of slapstick clowns? Let's have something decent! Something sophisticated and mature!  It's the 15th century in the name of Christ!  Get those fools off and bring out a proper punster!"



[9:13 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I watched all the “Rocky”s
I had never really sat through even the first one from beginning to end, but of course even if you've never seen it.. you've seen it
Well i only got to 4. I'm not gonna bother with Rocky 5
They're progressively cheesier and cheesier (and the first one starts out pretty cheesy too) but they're pretty good. 
The montages are the best. 
I like that he's always pretty beaten down and nothing good happens to him in the end. Loses his money. Brain damaged.  Loses his money again. Etc.
Real boxers seem like that.  There's just never a happy ending in boxing.
A happy ending in boxing is a somewhat normal life into a relatively advanced age.
But they're always trying to make a comeback either for monetary reasons and/or because they're kind of addicted to the competition and being on top
[9:29 AM] 
...and because they're brain damaged...
[9:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yes
[9:33 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Lots of brain damage, some resulting in loss of life
Could do a medicine commercial with boxing
You ma experience incontinence, dizzy spells , over al malaysia. Some long term effects may occur such as , speech slurring, yelling Adrian at inaproriate times.”
[9:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Well, you spelled Malaysia right, but it was the wrong word completely
[9:38 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Malaise
[9:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"dizzy spells sweep malaysia"
[9:38 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[10:01 AM] 
Honestly I thought he was intentionally speaking “boxer”.



[12:56 PM] 
"Star Trek: the Motion Picture" watched and enjoyed as reported.
Last night's film was "Funny Farm"
Also fun.
Mrs. Silver and I hadn't seen it in so long we could only remembered the vaguest bits.
[1:03 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
The first Star Trek had a massive budget but many didn't like it... But i did
It did drag a bit.  They really went all out on the effects
[1:04 PM] 
I liked it a lot.  I explained some of the padding to Silver Junior.
"This dramatic and endless scene is them pandering to the fans, who had been waiting for this movie for 10 years." 
"Oohhhhh."
[1:05 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
The one where they're going into the V'Ger thing, and it just never ends?
[1:08 PM] 
No. The two endless hours of flying around the Enterprise in dry dock
[1:09 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
oh okay
[1:09 PM] 
It also made the audience – still impressed by the huge size of a starship (zow!) – appreciate the long flyover of V'Ger and understand how incredibly tiny the Enterprise was by comparison.
You can SAY it's big... Spock can talk units of measurement all day... But if you don't SHOW how freakin' tremendous it is, it loses impact.
(Sulu) "Uh...Admiral?  We're STILL flying over the front part of it."
(Kirk) "What?  It's been like 4 minutes."
"Aye, Admiral."
"Fuuuuuck..."
I had to pause it when Silver Junior asked "Wait, what did Sulu say just then?"
"Kirk wanted a widescreen view of the ship and asked Sulu to reduce the magnification by 4x.  Sulu replied that they were already 2 factors further zoomed out than that."
[1:12 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[1:12 PM] 
"GEEZE!"
"Yeah.  Hehe.  I LOVE this movie."
Without the energy field included, its not as big as the Death Star...
But it could effortlessly eat both Death Stars before the Empire even figured out what was in there.
The energy field around it was changed after it came out from “82 Astronomical Units” to 2 AUs in the video...merely the span of distance from the Sun to something like halfway between Mars and Jupiter...
82 would be eating the Oort Cloud, I believe.
They didn't put an explanation on producing a "12th Power" energy field like that, but did say it would take 1000s of starships to do it for a little bit.
V'Ger just turned it off when getting close to Earth.
[1:35 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
The TOS episode that was based on is one of my favorites
[1:42 PM] 
One with NOMAD?
Good one
[1:54 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
no… “The Changeling”
Oh, yeah, Nomad is the probe.
[2:02 PM] 
If it was a little less fixated on “cleaning”, NOMAD could have gone on to great things.
Inspired by this, I've been a slob since childhood.  ;)



[12:56 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
uh well yes they would
But how do we know it's for aching limbs ?
Also how do we know it does not have major side effects? lol
[1:01 PM] 
"It also makes your mouth numb as heck"
"The Adventures of Randy Tang - Jungle Pharmacist!"
(bell rings on tree.  Concerned woman climbs onto branch) 
"Ook?" 
"Oh it's just awful, Mr. Tang.  Just LOOK at this rash!"
"Ook!"
"I tried that."
"Ook."
