If every action has an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law), then shouldn't the reaction also spawn an equal and opposite reaction to that reaction?
that is in fact how we get our current universe! it can be a bit unintuitive but unless you’re in a vacuum there’s rarely just one effect going on at a time, thus no perfectly opposite reaction.
If you replace the Ws in “when where and what” with Ts, you get the answer.
this reminds of "when I becomes we, illness becomes wellness"
Most letters started out as pictographs showing something that happened to start with the same sound, and become simpler and more abstract over time. Dice that aren't using Arabic numerals could be considered pictographic: they show a representation of the numbers directly. So what if we took those pictographs, and made them simpler and more abstract?
Here's my attempt at doing that. Top section is what would end up on a hypothetical die: it makes sure all of the 1-6 can be distinguished regardless of orientation. Bottom row is written numerals for 1-9, I'll admit I'm kind of proud of how the abstraction preserves 2+3=5, 4+4=8,and 3/2*6=9. 7 has its odd dot moved out of the middle to stop it looking like 11 (6+5).

If we ever made contact with aliens, would they consider Butt-Ugly Martians a racist cartoon?
i think our current perspective for language is only one of several frameworks that can be used for communicating. all our languages tend to follow the same rules, but it's most likely possible to create languages that work completely differently. i think the same way about turing machines/computers in general
that’s nuclear fusion which currently isn’t a feasible method for efficient energy production
Due to The Battle Cats having a collaboration with Street Fighter, The Battle Cats is technically canon in Super Smash Bros.
Why are we better at coming up with bad ideas than good ones?
Since people are animals, does that mean that most humans are into beastiality?
