  Half this comment thread legitimately knows how they work

  The other half is speculation

  The truth is in the middle, Lemmy people are pretty well versed in science fiction and science :>

    Using “Knows how they work” while talking about goddamn time machines cracks me up every time.

    It’s like you’re confidently arguing that the inside of a black hole is another universe where time runs backwards and dogs meow ;)

    (For tonal clarity I’m not taking the piss, it’s just funny when folk get really into a scifi topic and get all fanfiction about it)

      So what? Everyone who understands how things work knowns that dogs meow when placed inside black holes.
