No matter how often I see this, I still crack up at "Lizard lizard."

[–]Shit_Tsunami 6 points7 points ago

Well..did he rip his own eyes out in front of my mother? cuz mine did that. so we gave him the most badass name i could think of. Odin.

Schrödinger's Cat: Unknown

[–]the_television 84 points85 points ago

*alive

[–]Octovias 54 points55 points ago

*or dead, no one knows.

[–]CoreyWillis 54 points55 points ago

Why can't we have both?

[–]klavin1 82 points83 points ago

We do...

[–]sheepyowl 11 points12 points ago

The cat is either alive OR dead, the fact that you need to assume both are correct doesn't mean the cat is ACTUALLY both dead and alive, at least in it's own reality.

[–]klavin1 37 points38 points ago

Nah, it's both.

[–]Ausgeflippt 13 points14 points ago

Actually, the whole thing wasn't to try to prove some philosophical third state of unknowingness. It's about predicting the location of an electron.

The cat is alive or dead.

[–]klavin1 6 points7 points ago

Right, "dead or alive".

[–]xenthum 9 points10 points ago

No, it's "dead and alive."

[–]A_wild_fusa_appeared 0 points1 point ago

Wikipedia says the experiment is about the cat being both but you say otherwise. Care to explain what you mean?

[–]Ausgeflippt 8 points9 points ago

People forget (or never knew) that Schroedinger was a physicist. He was not a philosopher, and the cat issue was never really philosophical (at least not on a metaphysical level).

Basically, as Schroedinger himself said, "That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality." in relation to the cat being alive or dead.

A lot of idiots claim the cat is alive and dead, as if there's some third state of existence between living and dead just because there's no one there to perceive you as being alive or dead. It's either or, and it's indeterminate since we have no way of knowing unless we open the closed system.

It isn't "the cat is alive and dead", it's "the cat is alive or dead, we just don't know which right now".

It's very analogous to the "a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it..." question.

[–]teeaiyemm 12 points13 points ago

You obviously have never learned quantum mechanics. Please stop talking about what you do not know.

[–]agnotastic 1 point2 points ago

I've got a particular knack for talking about things that I am ignorant towards. I should probably stop :-/

[–]teeaiyemm 11 points12 points ago

Don't worry about it. Schrodinger's cat is just a bad metaphor for something very confusing, so it's not your fault.

Edit: If you have 5 minutes and want to learn about quantum mechanics in a better way than Schrodinger's cat, watch this video about the double slit experiment

[–]agnotastic 2 points3 points ago

That wasn't me you big silly. I'm just a transient bullshitter stopping by to say hello.

Edit: Although, I will watch this video! Thanks.

[–]Octovias -3 points-2 points ago

Why not Zoidburg?

[–]the_television -4 points-3 points ago

Scientists determined it is alive

[–]Marutar 6 points7 points ago

*also dead

[–]pr1ntscreen 2 points3 points ago

That was debunked in the comment thread.

[–]DoctorCroctopus 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I know that, but I should clarify for those who didn't see it.

From /u/BoxAMu: "Collapsing the wavefunction doesn't mean killing the cat, but rendering it definitely alive or definitely dead."

[–]Pilotted 3 points4 points ago

This is an ex-parrot.

[–]Sonic343 9 points10 points ago

Listen, I took one look at that parrot, and I discovered that the only reason it was sitting on its perch is that it had been nailed there.

[–]ittakesacrane 6 points7 points ago

Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

[–]Skybird_EE 4 points5 points ago

This bird wouldn't VOOM if I put 4000 volts through it! It's bleeding demised!

[–]Gonoan 14 points15 points ago

Thats your problem with the picture? not the fact that the cats feet aren't connected?

[–]abledanger 9 points10 points ago

It's clear that you have much to learn about feline anatomy.

[–]Thydamine 2 points3 points ago

Dead birds do.

[–]Rustedbones 1 point2 points ago

The first version of this that I saw had a different caption under the bird. "breaks neck"

[–]BelugaTaquito 1 point2 points ago

That only works if you use a glass box.

"It's nighttime - better die."

[–]fretsurfer12 0 points1 point ago

[–]its_Basi 0 points1 point ago

Mine actually does. First time I saw it I freaked the fuck out, then it hopped right up.

Video proof it happens (this is not my bird, but the same species)

[–]shmadorable 24 points25 points ago

Having a bird, I can confirm this. Instant, beautiful quiet.

[–]paul_miner 11 points12 points ago

Until one loses its balance or something. I had six parakeets when I was a kid, and every other night something would happen and it would be full-on panic mode with all of them flying around the cage blindly until I turned on the lights.

No, you stop. I haven't seen it, it's new to me.

Even the name "karmadecay" pisses me off, like it's so fucking important and cool to point out something that's been on a massive site more than once.

Fuck you.

[–]spellign_error -2 points-1 points ago

I love the REpost 4367 one. Also only 1 of these had front page potential so chances are op didn't even know this is a repost. Also these posts are getting really annoying on posts that aren't obvious reposts. the last time this was posted was 1 month ago and it only had 18 points.

My dog must be a hamster. We once put him in a speaker box and all you could see were teeth as chunk after chunk was ripped out of the box. We tried to put more over it but all he did was destroy that took. I think our record for keeping him in the box was roughly 5 seconds.

[–]bibblyboop 1 point2 points ago

THE HAMSTER, YES!
Whenever I've put a hamster in a cardboard box to clean its cage, first they run around in circles, then they just start tearing it apart at Mach-10. Some can chew a hamster sized escape hole surprisingly fast.

How my parrots would react to the box test: Conure: Freak out before he's put in it (he might be going to the vet), ask for me to get him out for a few minute by reciting his own name repeatedly...then eventually, nap.

Hahn's macaw: Get super happy seeing the box, once inside, he'd talk to himself and giggle in happyness. Dude loves boxes.

Cockatoo: Challange would be accepted, box would be destroyed before I'd finished clicking all the links on my front page.
