Anakin Reese Conn- Assignment 13

(Satire on media that says something is simple, yet goes into great detail explaining the subject to the point of not making any sense.  Also a reference to this.  Half an A Press)

The question of whether you are weak or strong if you hit yourself and it hurts has a simple answer.  If we go by the rule that hitting yourself actually has 3 parts to it, the time before you hit yourself, the time when your hand remains in contact with yourself, and the release of your hand after hitting yourself, it hurts because you finish the hit.  It's pretty weird if you've never seen it before, and it makes sense, but to answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes.  Ok, so your hand's position is a floating number, but it's converted to a short when your body uses it to test for collision with four pain receptors.  Your hand's position can basically be any decimal number, but it's converted to an integer between -32768 and 32767 inclusive.  So, any fractional portion is truncated, and numbers too big or too small, or move into this range using the modulo operator physically, that means that the position used for collision detection is always inside the limited box, so if your hand is in that box, then his actual position and the position used for collision detection are the same, although off by a single fraction due to the truncation.  But if your hand leaves that box, then your hand's actual position and the position used for collision detection will separate, since the position used for collision detection will just loop back around to remain in the original box.  So now I ask you this.  If your hand is away from you where it can't hit you, but the position used for collision detection is on your body, can your hand still hit you from away from your body?  The answer is yes, as far as reality sees it your hand is in fact hitting you over there, because reality actually checks for your body over here, so, for all intents and purposes, there is essentially your body over where your hand is, a copy of your original body, and this is what we call a parallel universe, or a PU, and this applies to every one of these boxes.  So essentially, you are hitting yourself in infinite dimensions already, you idiot.

(I'll regret writing that last part.)
