Can we continue our discussion of the moon-dinosaur conspiracy in this thread?

I come to /x/ every day, its a very hit or miss board. I either am on here for hours following all the great threads, or just for 30 seconds skimming over all the boring crap.

>>970190

sure. you're going to have to bring me up to speed, though.

at first glance, the idea seems pretty flimsy. hopefully you have some kind of loose justification for this...

>>970192

yeah, i've noticed that too... it kinda sucks that things don't refresh as fast here as on other boards, but fuck it. at least the things here are interesting. i read a great thread about reptilians a couple of days ago... i don't really buy into it, but it was really fucking interesting to read.

>>970188
Hai Pantera, Disturbed and Static- X fan guy... you should listen to sum Amon Amarth.

>>970188

Do you feel like we are on the cusp of a scientific revolution?

What do you think about the fact that an entire system of mathematics could be generated to explain any number of nonexistent physical laws and phenomena (e.g. parachutudinal physics, selector calculus?)

Do you think that we will soon reach an "age of superheroes", where augmented humans are commonplace?

>>970193
Of course. At the moment, our theory is that the moon landing was fake, and that Niel Armstrong and all the other astronauts were actually killed by the moon-dinosaurs. In order to make it look like we were actually successful, the government covered it up and replaced Niel and his crew with their doppelgangers.

Now you may be asking, why would there be dinosaurs on the moon? The answer is simple: before the great catastrophe of the prehistoric period, the dinosaurs were able to sense this danger and migrated to the moon in order to save themselves from an unruly fate. The ones that stayed on earth were evidently killed, and buried up by today's archaeologists.

At the moment, the government is currently putting all the tax-payers' money towards an attack plan against the moon dinosaurs so that we may reclaim the planet for our own because, as the vast majority of us don't know, the moon is absolutely abundant with raw materials and resources, almost twice as dense with them as the earth has today.

That's basically the jist of it.

>>970201

ha, you are correct sir. lot of fucking good all of that bullshit did me, eh?

>>970203
I just googled parachutudinal physics and the first four results we're /x/, heh.

>>970203
I just googled parachutudinal physics and three of the four first results were this thread.

>>970207
lol... That thread was kinda funny. I love /mu/'s threads about metal... err flame wars. I actually came over here to see what the fuck /x/ was about since you were talking about it and I happened to see a post with the same exact writing style as your /mu/ talking about a terrible experience on /mu/. I'm serious though. Listen to Amon Amarth. They rip.

>>970188i've decided that /x/ is the only worthwhile page on 4chan

>> i just want to hear some rational thoughts from rational people.

... You lost me.

>>970203

i think we have the potential for a scientific revolution, but i'm not quite sure we're on the cusp.

when it comes to mathematics, i'm not entirely knowledgable... i was a lit/writing major, if that helps. but, from what i do know, the possibilities of mathematics to explain such things and to define things in terms of linear thought is fantastic... i realize that math might make things boring and less than inspired, but at the same time how are we going to truly understand the universe if we can't first understand it's concrete language?

as far as the age of the superhero goes, i've done some reading on transhumanism... i don't think that we're heading towards the traditional definition of superhero (genetics), but with technological advances being what they are, and the tremendous possibilites of optics and wetware, we could possibly see some human/machine hybridism going on. if the world survives the next 50 years, that is.

>>970205

so how did the dinosaurs get there in the first place? i'm skeptical about where this is headed.

>>970218
DON'T FORGET FINNTROLL TOO, MKAY?

>>970205
Sounds feasible, ya?

Parachutudinal physics was crafted to explain the intricate complexities behind Sonic X, a cheaply-produced cartoon.
In the cartoon, a character was killed; however, since it is a children's cartoon, she therefore must have a parachute, and is ok, since someone can see it.

The mechanics of this are explained by the following:

Given the surroundings (space), we can use the greater inverse vacuum law to obtain the sum (?) of the simple formula x^n, where x is the parachute transversal and n is the charge. Friction is largely negligible so it is eliminated to maintain simplicity.
Now with ?, n=2 since n initial is 1 and the parachute charge is 1 (1+1 = 2). The limit is approaching negative parachutudinal infinity, as is stated in the law of parachutudinal normality.
Taking the derivative of the formula, we find that the transversal is doubled. As this value is equal to the escape velocity, and that the transversal itself is equal to the speed of quantum implosion, we can easily see that the parachute was moving fast enough to avoid being destroyed.
However, quantum entanglement occurs due to the implosion being triggered by the parachute rescue object, and the subsequent quanta-transspatial parachute molecule reaction. Since this requires that the rescue object (in this instance, the alien) be quantum-split into two, the negative inverse of the object is ejected, as this again conforms to the greater inverse vacuum law.
However, once the object had successfully escaped destruction, the parachute could be removed. thus resetting charge to 0, and setting all states back to initial. Thus, via a quantum loophole, the rescue object is left virtually unscathed.

I hope this clears things up for you.

Naw.. Finntroll isn't that great IMO. Unleahed is another great Viking related band though...

>>970218

thanks for the input, you're better than most from /mu/.

>>970222

yeah, i realize how that sounds at first, but as much as there is bullshit here on /x/, people at least put an effort into explaining their theories. and really, that's what i'm looking for, rational justification for irrational thoughts. that's what makes it interesting.

>>970228

>>I'm not quite sure

mm

>>i was a lit/writing major

oh yeah? well I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE GETTING A JOB

>>970234
I personally like Finntroll, but I respect your opinion and acknowledge that our tastes, while sharing similarities, and different in a few ways.

>>970236
Go make this post on /mu/ right now. Post a picture of Dimebag and write "great guitarist or greatest guitarist." Within 2 minutes someone will post a picture of Chuck Shuldiner with text saying something along the lines of "you are wrong." Mark my words... fuck i hate /mu/.

>>970232

wow. that's... well, i really don't know what to say to that. i don't really follow it, but since you stated that it's from a cartoon, i don't really feel inadequate for not understanding what the hell you're talking about.

thanks for trying?

>>970243
I like you. You are rational and have a decent taste in music.

it sucks that i find myself forcing myself to not reply to fucking trolls. you would think that with all of the time spent on /b/, i would have learned by now.

>>970246

you're right. and who would have thought that my inexperience with /mu/ would completely fuck up my original intentions? oh well, at least here there's a decent discussion happening. seems like some civilized folk about...

>>970249

Hmm, perhaps some exposition would help.

The main tenants of parachutudinal physics are based off another cartoon, Dragon Ball Z.
In this cartoon, an aircraft is destroyed, presumably killing everyone inside.
However, a character on the show happily declares, "It's ok, I can see their parachutes."
Thus, one can conclude that in all children's shows, no one actually dies, even if the plot does indeed involve their death. This is because a parachute will save them (the "rescue object") from death, no matter what. Even if it defies other physical laws.
Such an odd defiance of physics required a special branch of mathematics to be developed: parachutudinal physics. There are few practitioners of the science, but it is integral to our understanding of cartoon dynamics.

Do you have any questions in particular? I will try to answer to the best of my ability.

>>970279
The scary part is that I actually kind of understand that...

>>970279

actually, no... that was a great explanation. much better than numbers. now i totally dig where you're coming from.

Well played friend, well played.
But seriously, I show up to /x/ for the hit or miss creepypasta. I like to get the blood flowing and the heart pounding sometimes but am too lazy to seek out other sources of horror.

>>970299

i refer you to

>>970236
(well, the second part of it)

OP here... i'm going to go read some of this SCP stuff i just found on here. i'll be checking back to see if anyone is keeping our discussions alive.

someone say troll?

>>970361
No. Nobody said troll. Get your ears checked please.

>>970361
>someone say TROLLHAMMAREN?!
