  Alt-text:

  In addition to gravity, burritos interact through the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, which is believed to be a major contributor to their popularity.

  Dark matter is the computer running the simulation.
  They blacklisted all simulated forces from interacting with it, but one of the devs commented out gravitation for a test and forgot to put it back in.

    Dont forget, it’s also a fuckton of ghosts.

    seems like it’d be the opposite, it’s the dummy particle used for testing gravity and they didn’t take it out

    I’m leaning in more to this is all a simulation and we have discovered the physics engine by trial and error but the hard coded rules behind it are as understandable to us as it would be to Mario

      Is theoretical physics just reverse engineering the physics engine by playing with variables and tracking the changes?

  What is “is”? Doesn’t matter, burrito time.

  And it’s imperial?

    Actually, it’s a little under 9.1 kilograms, but “about 20 pounds” has less syllables.

      But is it heavier or lighter than 9.1 kilograms of feathers?

      Fair enough

  I wonder if this was inspired by a koan:

  A monk asked Tozan, “What is the Buddha?”
  He replied, “Three pounds of flax.”

  At the first three panels I thought this was a conversation with a stochastic parrot
