Last post wins!!!!!

Have you squabbling old biddies figured out yet that one does not play the ovoid keyboard with one's hands?

[lostinidlewonder]

You're just jealous that you didn't think of my idea first. My original post from the future doesn't break that rule, so I still have the win.

Not as jealous as you are for not initiating this thread. Ooo snap.

I don't know for sure, not having strapped the circular keyboard on myself, but it's probably a lot like that.

Ask Gandalf:  he probably knows about mediæval trébuchets and nerd stuff, or whatever you're talking about, which I'm sure is wholesome to the bone.

Even then, it's an infinite amount of every unit of time, so the fact that there is a date would inherently invalidate it as infinite time. July 22nd, ∞ can be followed by July 23rd, ∞, invalidating the infinity as a real part of the system by definition.

Tcheh.  This guy.  Confusing cardinality of rational numbers with the continuum of real numbers.

Kids.

Copy pasting posts from the future means instant loss, see the op. So you merely are losing more than everyone else. Also no time travelling zone.

I didn't copy paste anything, so I never broke any rules.

Uncountable infinity doesn't apply to time. We can mathematically prove that uncountable infinity is "greater" than countable infinity, but in any system where the digits can be counted, like in time, uncountable infinity is not usable because you'd have to divide the digits infinitely. The set of all real numbers cannot be counted, because no matter what you do, you can always add another zero. So, uncountable infinity is usable in that context. Not in time, where we can easily count the seconds, or the minutes. If you even tried, you'd be left with an infinite amount of infinitely small digits.

It's the LAST post wins. Your piddly replies give me a seemingly almost infinite amount of chances to win against you. I have the quickest win (4 seconds I believe) and a win from the future.

I'm a stubborn bastard who is going to end up on top - just you wait.

You're also forgetting that I also have a post from 1970 in the first post wins thread. I managed to post a message 43 years before the damn thing started. Admit it - I've don't something you can't.

The map is not the terrain.  If one assumes time is just an artificial scale composed of discrete intervals, i.e., some purely human construct created for the convenience of countability, then one is not well.

Stop watching YouTube videos of infinity buses it will not help you win here. There is no time travelling backwards, itnis not possible. Thus the fantasy of posting in the future and revealing it here is void.

Says the person who's jealous that he doesn't have a post from the past, and from the future.

Admit it - I just have the superior intellect. Meanwhile, all you seem to do is post images from DC comics. Batman is overrated, the Joker is a... well, joke since he's pregnant now.

However, I am hungry for meat. I fear the day that the vegetarians of the world unite... although it would be a very small, a meagre gathering. Jokes on them though - if the world does run out of food - they'll be the first eaten since they won't want to eat the carnivores of the planet.

You missed a comma in that reply - someone with my intellect can easily spot that.

OK, clearly you have the superior knowledge of comic books; I haven't a clue whence these frames originated.

You definitely spanked me on that one.

[perfect_pitch]

Anyway, I gave up on the comic books a while back. It's kind of odd though that you can download all the comics that people spent $1000's on as a PDF.

Takes up less space, you don't have to place them in plastic sleeves or need to turn the pages with tweezers.

Infinity buses? Those are two very weird words to put next to each other
So PP's future posts are also invalid.

It's odd that comic books are somehow still a thing. Like you said, you can download a lot of them, they're also just an annoyance to have in the first place.

It is not wierd at all since there are youtube videos about countable infinity which was quite popular and people used it to pretend to be smart, like yourself. Losing!

Let's get something straight - I never used infinity as a timestamp, so one would argue mine still stands. I had a definitive timestamp with date and time down to the second. I will agree that if anyone can quote or reply with a timestamp, even a single second after mine - I will happily tip my hat off to them and admit that they bettered me.

Has all this talk about infinity bored you enough to lose this thread?? It's a neat attempt but fails!

[perfect_pitch]

My timestamp wasn't infinite. I thought I made it very clear in my last post. Considering the universe is 13 billion years old - 2 billion years is clearly not substantial enough to consider 'infinite'.

You forget that it is always very soon after you comment that I return to vanquish you again and claim my right as the winner of this thread. When will you learn you can't beat me?

[lostinidlewonder]

When will you learn you are easily defeated. May this invade your dreams!

That's vile and derelict.  I object.

Go have a cat in honor of fish taco day here in the U.S.

[perfect_pitch]

Fish Taco??? That sounds horrific. What's wrong with good ol' beef mince???



Anyway, happy Taco Tuesday anyway...



...oh sh*t, it's Thursday. Screw it then - who cares about tacos.

And how the heck is Super-cat supposed to have opened up that door...

I wouldn't know.  Some people prefer snails, some prefer oysters.

And cats can open doors and things.  They are crafty.

Would love to try and seem them open this...



Easy - it's not that hard to outwit a cat.

Cats can chew through solid steel? If that were true, there would be far more horror movies with them in it.

Don't believe that for a second.

Fine.  Stay blind to the truth.  Admit that Sxrxbxx is your lord and master, why don't you, as well?

Just a few thoughts on winning this thread and timestamps, etc. 

This thread is named:  “Last post wins!!!!!”

Here are the rules:
“Copy pasting any part of your response is cheating and you automatically lose.”

So now we get into some questions:
a)   Is it last post to this thread that wins?
b)   Is it last post to this forum that wins?
c)   Is it last post to any forum or social media site that wins?
Let us assume it is A - last post to this thread wins. 

Now we need to ask: What does it mean to post last?
Last - coming after all others in time or order.
This forum sorts all posts within a thread chronologically.  Therefore, the last post is the post that appears at the end (or bottom) of the thread.  I think it can be argued that the official date/time stamp that is assigned by the forum is the only date/time that counts.  If someone changes the date/time stamp for a post, the post will not be at the end of the thread.  It will remain in the position it was when it was actually posted - way behind my post.  And those that want to change date stamp to infinity – well that’s just silly.  Your post will remain in the position it was when it was actually posted – way behind my post.

Now we need to ask: When do we determine the final winner of this contest?
a)   When this thread is closed?
b)   When this forum is closed?
c)   Immediately after I posted this post you are reading now?
I say we go with C, but I’m pretty sure others will say this is not the rule.  Lostinidlewonder might object, for example.  I’m hoping we can all agree on A:  the final winner will be determined when this thread is closed.  But what if the thread is reopened later?  Let's forget this question - too complicated.  Let's just assume when this thread is closed it will not be reopened. 

Now we need to ask:  What do we get as a prize if we are the final winner?  .
a)   $1 million USD
b)   $10 USD
c)   3 Japanese yen
d)   Bragging rights
Let’s assume the answer is D. 

Now we look at 2 cases:
1)   This thread closes when the forum closes.  Question – what will bragging rights be worth?  Maybe I'll post on Twitter and Facebook telling everybody after I win.
2)   This thread closes before the forum closes.  Now the bragging rights may have more meaning.  When this happens – I will be sure to post every day in a new Pianostreet thread that I won the BIG Last post wins contest.   – This I look forward to. 

[lostinidlewonder]

Or perhaps it is ones very own last post on this thread that wins? So merely posting more makes your previous winning post lose and your new last one winning? Yes believe this so I can win, you all may stop posting now and keep your win.

What do you win? Don't you realise having the last word on anything on the internet is extremely valuable? Are you new to the internet???!!!!!

It almost appears as if you are trying to trick us into not posting again.  Very clever - but I can see through your plan!

Last word and $2 USD might get you a cup of coffee if you are lucky.  So we don't win $10 USD?    

[lostinidlewonder]

Or I can say, yes yes keep posting and cement my name on this website for all to see. I am the creator of the greatest thread to have ever existed here mwhahahaha you all are my slaves to this game. Oooooo ahhhhh ahhhh mwhahahah *cough*

Bullshit... Chronologically my post easily exceeds yours by billions of years, so you can't play down that it's the order of post because clearly I was clever enough to create a post that post-dates yours, no matter how late it appears in this thread.

While it may appear that the last post in this thread is the winner, it will go down for the ages that I was clearly masterful to post date mine so far ahead that eternity almost will brandish me the clear winner.

Also, you're assuming that your post will be the last post in this thread. Have you not met me and my stubborn nature? The only reason you think your post will be the last is due to ignorance and an inability to beat me.
