we were this close to harnessing infinite energy from the perpetually burning tesla but you went and buried it

i’d argue banana bread is cake, and is not bread, even though it has “bread” in its name

if you were offered a slice of banana bread but they were out so you got a slice of sandwich loaf instead, i suspect you’d be more annoyed than if you got a slice of chocolate cake

TRUE

Cake doesn’t use yeast (leavened basically means using yeast).

some cakes do use yeast, and something like baking powder is a leavening agent

Cake uses eggs, bread doesn’t.

brioche

Cake is expensive to buy or make. Bread isn’t as bad.

brioche

it’s a doctrinal difference

also you could possibly look at something like gluten formation, but i suspect there’s a gluteny cake out there as well as a glutenless bread

the first result for “cake with yeast”

what are you talking about that’s literally already how underground trains already work

The simulation designer would not be creative enough

now you’re making assumptions about how the creators of our simulation think, when we also know nothing about them

why would you assume they think in the same way we do? why would you assume what they do would even be considered “thinking” by us at all?

fall somewhere on the spectrum of having a complete inversion of the rules of their universe or having an exact copy of the rules of their universe

• you think the creator of the simulation is capable of specifying each rule of our universe, but not just inverting all of them?
• “somewhere on the spectrum” includes positions closer to a complete inversion than not, so even if you take this as given - which you probably shouldn’t - you still can’t make claims with any certainty

there are natural limits to what would be conceivable

firstly, i don’t think that holds true under the laws of our universe

secondly, why would it hold true under the laws of theirs?

okay?

“influenced by” doesn’t tell us anything about the concrete rules of the simulating universe

Or maybe whoever simulated our universe intentionally deviated from the rules of their universe for the fun of it.

likely it’s being run on a jupiter brain or matrioshka brain

if you accept the premise that our universe is a simulation, why would you assume anything we know about it follows the rules of the simulating universe?
