Yo why aren't any countries circles

We should invade some random country and establish a country the exact shape of one of tissot's indicatrices

@RadvylfPrograms Every country is a circle if your map has the right projection

@user Why is this being starred lol

TNB ಠ_ಠ

@user no, every country is a circle if you manually move the tectonic plates through sheer force

You can just clear the stars on that and the message after that

I starred the one after it 'cause I think it's funny

@BowlingPizzaBall Doesn't change the (mostly arbitrary) boundaries drawn by humans

@RadvylfPrograms Exposing children to PHP is no laughing matter

Oh true

@user well then take over the world and brainwash everyone into changing their borders into circles

If I ever become a school admin I'll block every URL containing php

I'll just block any URL that doesn't contain \.html, easy

then block every url containing javascript

Genius, that'll take out a whole class of inappropriate websites

@BowlingPizzaBall will there be no-man's-land in between or will we have fractal countries

No man's land? All land will be my land

@UnrelatedString fractal countries, spread balkan border gore (but worse) to the entire world

Was the "gore" referring to like, softwaregore gore, or literal wars and murder gore

@RadvylfPrograms software gore gore, what kind of borders are sentient

going to end up with people having infinitely many entire sovereign nations under their bed

Gore from people being torn apart while the countries move around and stuff

Hierarchical countries

Time to crack out the alephs

Wait no worse: <b>a<i>b</b>c</i> countries

What about stacked countries?

From sea level to 3 feet can be one country. From 3 feet to 6 feet can be another. Etc.

Ooh yeah, space-filling fractal countries would be nice

Then almost everyone will be living in multiple countries at once, unless they're laying down.

Relevant xkcd

Oh like different countries on every level. Interesting

You need a passport for every elevation

Tall people keep getting deported to the ground

that would be insane and MAJOR problem-causing, but still really cool

People have to learn to levitate in order to not go through the ground level countries

Parkour

also rising sea levels

(btw @RadvylfPrograms might want to move this discussion later when it's done)

Stores would put all their merchandise in the country which has strictest theft laws.

uh uh, mod here

four-dimensional countries

They're four-dimensional already

@Seggan Who me?

Sword

six-dimensional countries, everyone hates five dimensions so we skipped those

Good idea

svg borders when

I hate 1, 3, 4, 7, and 9

@user give your reasons on why

@Ginger Vectors? Nah, we getting 6D tensors for our borders

Mucube borders

Every country border is based on 8D soundwaves because frick knowledge

borders that extend upwards indefinitely

@Ginger don't they already do that?

Mars rapidly shifts between countries

@BowlingPizzaBall Nope, they stop at space

borders that don't move with the rotation of the earth

@RadvylfPrograms still indefinite

No, it's usually defined at 100km for legal purposes IIRC

@RadvylfPrograms We own entire galaxies billions of light years away for brief periods of time.

borders that are sentient, so they change by at least 1km every single day

I'm going to try to own a country 1mm wide which wraps around the entire earth

:61122411 ⑨

Borders are relative to the center of the universe, so when the Earth moves, everyone moves out of those borders and you have to make new ones

I want a country that is a 5-meter cube in the middle of Wyoming

borders that shift between planets all around the universe every picosecond

@forest blech

@user u no liek cirno?

What's cirno?

i have never played a touhou game in my life. i just think the girl with the blue hair is funny.

borders that are intentionally drawn out of bounds into the ocean

We already have borders extending into the ocean

Real life borders are honestly pretty crazy without all these modifications

@user A baka ⑨

borders that say "fuck you"

countries millions of kilometers above sea level

Sounds like a Biblically-accurate description of heaven. A perfect floating cube.

heaven is actually always loaded, just invisible normally

@Ginger it's out of render distance

Increase Z-buffer?

@forest impossible without admin commands, which we don't have in real life, only god has them

I'm sure we can find a glitch to enter debug mode.

@forest sadly that bug was patched in V2008.9.10

they also accidentally unpatched it in V2016.1.17 while the servers were down and had to do maintenance

but repatched it in V2016.3.4 after they found out people were abusing the bug

Isn't there an XKCD like this?

i have no idea, i don't really read xkcd

@Rad might wanna move these now

>explainxkcd

It was what came up first (prolly since it has a longer transcript for google to match) but it was the wrong link in my clipboard anywau

← 94 messages moved from The Nineteenth Byte

wait this room does exist now?

til

94 messages, damn.

So, this might be a bit of an overstep of my duties as RO, but I think we should try this for a few days

may as well

Seems fine to me.

wow

and this is probably a good convo to start with

dazza la

Having to make a new room for every two dozen off-topic messages is going to get tiring really quickly, and having a vast network of edge-of-propinquity like off-topic rooms for fractally more niche topics just isn't practical

Why not use The Nineteenth House as a general off-topic?

Btw, cgcc-se.github.io/chatiquette/tnh.html is 404.

Anyway I'mma go back to fanboying over MCR's new single o/

lol

o/

what does o/ mean i tried looking it up and all i got is bri'ish moment

o is a head. / is a waving arm.

it looks like someone waving

ok thamks

it's like o7

Yeah

Although I've never seen that before. Closest I've seen was ;_;7

Wow, people love to make off-topic discussions, but as soon as it's moved to an off-topic room, everyone leaves.

yeah wait what

you'd think people would at least nominally be in the room if not actively talking

but it's just deserted

It's unfortunate, since it effectively kills all off-topic discussion if it's not allowed in the main room.

I'd think it'd be better to allow off-topic in the main room as long as on-topic has priority.

yeahhhhhhhh

I would disagree, personally.

I feel like that would cause a lot of none-codegolfing related discussion, and drown out sandbox posts & whatnot.

Make it less connected to codegolf.SE

IDK. Perhaps.

so long as the conversation isn't too inane it doesn't really drown out on-topic discussion when that does happen

Yeah, good point.

Oh no I had a half-eaten thing of crackers under my bed from a month ago and my cat got into them 💀

oh no

The reason they were there is a long story but there's bits of cracker all over my floor and they were my sister's crackers lol

And the dumb cat knocked binders and papers and stuff everywhere

f

I gotta give this cat credit through, whichever one it was, it figured out how to break them in half so they'd fit through the half-opened packaging

I'm guessing this is Scully, the one who steals toaster waffles if you leave them long enough that they cool down

what's mulder like

He died a few years back

f

lol

Ooh a place where I can freely post my shower thoughts and beta starbait. Very interesting and gaming

We were going to name Stormie (the younger of our two cats) Fox, but he already had a name he was used to

makes sense

@RadvylfPrograms Only disadvantage of this is someone pinged me this morning and the whole classroom was shut within lyxal's fridge since I had my volume set to max

Wow, this channel got full again fast.

I mean if we have Try It Online and Attempt This Online, where's Perform An Action Via The Internet (PAAVTI)? Or Demonstrate Programming Utilizing A Programming Language While Also Utilizing The World Wide Web (DPUAPLWAUTWWW)?

Execute Some Executable Binary Data Via The Internet Protocol And A Properly Configured Server (ESEBDVTIPAPCS)

Sprint A Snippet Or Program Created From Your General Intelligence Ran With A Freely Available Online Complier That Is Held Upon The Major Invention Involving Protocols In 1990 (SASOPCFYGIRWAFAOCTIHUTMIIPI1990)

Relay Interesting Code, Konstantly Receive Output, Load Links (RICKROLL)

With Internet, Take Code, Hack Code, Read, And Forward That (WITCHCRAFT)

we need to see sasopcfygirwafaoctihutmiipi1990.com surface soon

I'll buy it and make it an RTO mirror if you change your username to "Radvylf is cool, wow" permanently

(not really)

ok

lmao
