This is like unphysical gibberish. I’m not even kidding. There are such things as the Landauer Limit and the earth has a finite surface area to absorb solar radiation. For crying out loud these are smart people but at the end of the day the singularity is not actually singular.

It’s just silly talk. My dad works for Nintendo and he can give me a gold foil pikachu any time he wants, also, he can delete your Pokémon any time he wants because he has admin access on the Nintendo server. And also he can beat up your dad because he has a black belt. Oh your dad has a black belt? Well actually I lied, he has a rainbow belt which means he can beat up your dad still.

Like this is silly right? It’s insulting. We both know that there are live nuclear weapons whose coordinates point at my city and at your city and the only thing that stops them is two keys and a button. Nuclear weapons, you know those things that have killed hundreds of thousands of living men women and children? There is no room for speculation in that regard: my city has a navy base and there is a live nuclear weapon pointed at it, myself and my entire family will die if it goes off. Now contrast: ahem.

Oh sorry my dad also has like a super secret rainbow STEALTH powers that could actually totally insulate my house from nukes. If you think about it, I actually have no reason to be concerned.
