Posts Now Demonstrating Relativistic Effects

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the observation of varying post lengths on a browser, particularly when posts are made quickly. Participants express confusion about the phenomenon, with some suggesting it may be related to browser upgrades or specific to certain operating systems like Mac. There are humorous asides about smilies, personal habits, and the complexities of relativity, including references to "girth contraction" and "timely dilation." The conversation touches on how different posts display varying widths based on their content, leading to playful banter about the implications of these observations. Overall, the thread combines technical observations with lighthearted commentary on personal experiences and relativity concepts.

On my browser, faster posts now have less length on the x-axis, <---->. Is this the same in your inertial frame?

I wouldn't know; I'm never inert.

I am not sure about that, but i have no colour or size and my smilies have to
be draged and droped, or am i missing some trick ?

I don't know. My posts have been smiley-free since 2003. I'm a member of Smilies Anonymous.

I am sitting here with a huge bag of M&Ms a substitute for rum and coke.

I conquored booze 25 years ago. That's why I have the stamina to resist smilies today.

You can try sorting them in alphabetical order.

Damn, I have a ROFL habit. With enough booze, I might just kick.
 
Yes, I've notice the same X axis aberration.

I normally have a long X axis, but not anymore, when I post quick.

I don't even know what you guys are talking about here? :confused: Maybe the upgrade only works best on Macs, so you all have to switch to Mac! :devil: :smile:

It is something about the shrinkage effect, Moonbear.
Only guys know about it.

Do I have to mention lengthy contractions?

I prefer timely dilations, but that's just me, I guess.

On my screen, your post, for instance, is half an inch wider than pattylou's just above you. Each post is a different width depending on how many words there are in it. As I scroll down a thread I can see all the different posts changing widths from one to the next.

It's TWINS! How paradoxical!

That's what is so strange.
I can see that GIRTH contraction is complementary to some timely dilation, but contraction of LENGTH??
I'll never understand relativity..:frown:

All I know is that it leads to a mass increase.

You remembered you password then.

No, I didn't.
Mass increase?
How exciting..

I was still on about childbirth. In two respects it's very exciting indeed.
