what with the new transparent soup legalization, various US coastal states have opened bidding on designing new oceans. Apple has already landed Washington’s contract, but their working prototype has problems with lagging when waves travel through small pipes. Alaska are considering replacing theirs with ice, which can be simulated clientside to cut costs. Democrats protest thoughtless ocean regulation:
“Regulating transparency without establishing standardization is clearly part of the trade war. Different ocean providers by state is nothing but trouble for the consumer, but my AI expert claims it will create new jobs, presumably by forcing outside suppliers to use either boat-adapters by state, or aircraft (we’re still the main producer of those, right?). I don’t trust the thing though, it was sent by future me and it says that about most things.” – Donald John Trump (1946-1987).
I’m not sure how cardboard is more soup than liquin — honestly, the generic brand is just as good in many cases — but I agree that without established standards for what constitutes an ocean, the consumer is going to get hornswaggled by hucksters calling a kiddie pool the West Atlantic.
the god of off-brand liquid is less soup than cardboard. still, I think it’s not soup (ergo less soup if all descriptors are nonbinary) if it’s made with liquin; that makes it souu instead.
I’m more worried about the transitions. they’re going to put all these oceans around the coast, but they won’t all work the same and they won’t work the same as the eurasian ocean. imagine, like, an ocean that’s just taller than everywhere else as a tourist-attraction and to shield against nuclear fallout. or someone designs lazily and they end up with additive movement-vectors and no softlock on airspeed. or an ocean that’s just a node with fixed capacity, when you enter it there’s a loading-screen for the travel and then you are instantly parked. you want your ocean to be fast, fun, safe and cheap, but I don’t think they’ll strike the right balance in most cases. call me conservative, but they should try to make something as close to seawater as possible for all the oceans. maybe liquin seawateL. get permission to create a fork that doesn’t rise with the rest of the ocean, it’s possible to breathe underwater, and it’s possible to turn off all buoyancy. can’t be too difficult. I’m not opposed to fun variants of the water algorithm, but they should leave those to lakes.
I think the AI expert’s agenda is it’ll create a lot of new jobs for AI; speedruns will become even more important when we create exploits in the third most important mode of transport. I guess that’ll benefit me too. screw it; I won’t have to deal with this; I don’t live in America.
I’m reminded of the immortal (but sadly also dead) Rue McLanahan as Elizabeth “Miz Liz” Strickland inviting Hank Hill to “make soup” in the hot tub, which became even more unappetizing as she rephrased it later as “a big bowl of cream of us” as well as every cartoon ever where cannibals toss their prey into a pot of lukewarm water, add the vegetables, then simply hope the victim mistakes it for a bath long enough to stay and become soup.
But nevermind that, the TRUE question is A) how much soup do you have to add to the ocean before the ocean becomes a soup, and vice versa, and B) who first said “with friends like you, who needs enemas?” because I wanna shake his hand.
Bern: I’m all the way back at the beginning, surprised that your idea of an artificial ocean is not merely a man-made body of water, but indeed a fundamental rearrangement of matter itself, complete with unheard-of physical properties!
Then again, given that our reality is a simulation, I see no problem with it.
Cold: I don’t know from King of the Hill, but I can tell you this:
The ocean is already salted water full of seafood. That’s soup!
Also, I remember a movie trailer with the “who needs enemas” line, but I’ve no idea what movie it was and I’m going to pretend Google doesn’t exist.
