  • You have a Schrödinger's cat. It needs to be observed in order to collapse its wave function, or it can't know what state it's in.

    You should probably get another one so they can observe each other.

  • The Doctor is only on “TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE” as long as you aren't messing with (or have ever attempted to mess with) humans or other people they care about... otherwise they're on “RUN, RUN VERY FAR”.

  • Maru is mostly fluff, though.

    He's been shown wet in some videos and he's really quite slim under the hair.

    (You can also see in this gif that he easily fits into the wrappers until he's going slow enough for friction to catch.)

  • Air resistance would make flight harder, though, not easier, wouldn't it..?

    As I understand it wings work by Bernoulli's principle, which is an air pressure / conservation of energy thing, so it should still work in a frictionless atmosphere...

    Then again, we're talking chickens here (and spherical ones at that), which aren't particularly renowned for their aerodynamics and wing efficiency, so maybe they would need to be able to push on the air to generate lift...

  • The road being frictionless is irrelevant unless it's also in a vacuum.

    Chickens are not very good fliers, sure, but even this spherical chicken could probably manage a short flight to whichever side of the road it pleased.

  • I can have 20,000 character long passwords with a password manager

    Sure. Most websites will either truncate them or outright reject them due to being too long, but sure.

    Most users, however, will use the 12 to 16 characters auto-generated ones, though, which are sufficiently hard to crack (though not as much as an easy to remember passphrase, not that it matters; the easy to remember part is what matters about passphrases).

    that makes it significantly less secure

    No it doesn't. Even if a few of the passphrases leak, your algorithm, if well chosen, shouldn't be easy to reverse engineer... and unless someone is specifically targeting you (and has access to enough of your passphrases) there's much easier fish to catch; if a leaked passphrase doesn't work in other sites, no one will waste time trying to figure out if it has some logic to it.

    I could have 20,000 character completely unique passwords with a password manager

    No you couldn't. You'd have one password and one password manager (which would have all “your” other passwords; as would anyone else with access to your password manager).

    Until you lose access to your password manager, of course... which is bound to eventually happen, due to hardware or software issues or loss of the device if it's local, or due to network issues, the provider discontinuing the service, or inevitable enshittification if it's online.

    And, of course, you'll have a single point of attack from which your password can be leaked (or sold, if it's an online service) or stolen.

  • vastly more complex passwords

    Complexity is practically irrelevant when compared to length when it comes to passwords. That's the point of passphrases.

    do you actually expect people to remember 100+ unique phrases

    You can have a small number of passphrases and simply choose one and add a word or two based on the site. It's trivial to “remember” an infinite number of unique passphrases if you've got an algorithm. 🤷‍♂️
