A video where 64 metronomes are started, and they align with each other within 2 minutes.

Me: man that's cool.

Comment section: BUT NAZIS THO!

...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this an example of a negative feedback loop in action? I mean, the small, repeated movement being put into the table they're all on 'punishes' the ones that are the most out-of-sync, and gradually moves them all towards synchronicity? I'm thinking it must be something like tidal locking in astrophysics, where two bodies orbiting eachother will very gradually influence eachothers rotational energy, until they're spinning and orbiting at the same speed, meaning that one side is always facing the other. Like the moon is spinning, but we always only see one face of it; eons of negative feedback looping have deduced that that is the most stable, least energy costly way to orbit, and so it does, and I'm thinking that's how it is with the metronomes too.

Hopefully none of you died of the fucking plague while I wasn't around. I can't even remember if that was going on last time I was here.

The eggs all hatched and now they're all trans girls.

That's not how eggs work, they must be used as nature intended and turned into omelets.

What, objectively, is the difference between a transgirl and an omelet? They both consist mainly of organic material and are thus exactly the same.

A trans girl has almost all the characteristics that would qualify her as "life". She has order in her internal structure, she can respond to stimuli, reproduce (though this is a bit contentious depending on what she underwent), can grow and develop, is able to regulate her internal environment, maintains homeostasis, and processes energy. At least 6/7 of those criteria are guaranteed to be met in a living trans girl. She is life.

An omelet... tell me, do you see order in an omelet? Do you think that the jumbled-up, scattered, denatured proteins in an omelet constitute "order"? Have you ever had an omelet respond to stimuli? Have you ever seen one grow? See, it can't even do the basic requirements. 0/7. Not life by any classification. Game of Life is more life-like than this dead hunk of cooked proteins.

A trans girl is a living organism. An omelet fails to meet any of the requirements that would qualify it as life. As such, there is an objective difference between the two. I rest my case.

That's 2/7. Same number of criteria met as viruses (if I've read the definitions right), in whatever dimension you live in where your omelets not only have order, but can respond to stimuli too. That's fairly low on the life scale, but it would be enough to confuse early biologists for a little bit, so I guess that's good enough. I... unrest my case?

Good lord, omelets must be horrible to eat over there. Do they twitch when you touch them?

Alright, I'll grant you the win. It was, however, predicated on a 2/7 chance, and I was pretty 50:50 on that whole premise in the first place. Multiplying those together, you get 1/7 of a perfect win. I now hereby grant you a trophy... with about 14% of the effort that would be put into a perfect one. Enjoy your deformed mess of a trophy! The handles are real fragile; it's real hard trying to transport this thing without breaking the handles off.
