It's not the worst comic on the internet.

There is a lot of resistance to the hyperloop as a free public service. Do you all need a reality check?

You have an IQ four points higher than the fourth smartest human on the planet and you spend all your time posting inane comments on a tabletop gaming forum?

If not for the fact that you do not appear on the list of highest IQs... well, I still wouldn't have believed you. You do know that a 214 IQ would bring people to your door to photograph you and put you into journals and whatnot, right?

Apparently elon musk got his thermodynamics wrong. The hyperloop wont be invented by him after all.

Lets talk Australian hyperloop. For a cost of four hundred billion dollars we can link Melbourne parliament to Sydney parliament via Canberra parliament. We can also add a fourth station on the kiewa at the mid point between Melbourne and Canberra and establish the Australian las Vegas.

Anyway I wrote to Quiznos Sub (who are failing against their arch enemy Subway) and suggested how cool it would be to have a Quiznos in every Hyperloop Station...because 'we ain't a subway'.

Assuming that's actually true, it would only prove that the critics of IQ tests are one hundred percent correct.

So if all life is the same life at superposition you would also be a part of that single organism...so your IQ is likely 214...and you are just lying about it.


So this guy saw a teller tube at the drive-up window at a bank and thought "how do I do that with PEOPLE?!"

Are you ok with a free hyperloop service or do you prefer paying fifty dollars per two hundred and fifty miles.


I dunno about traveling cross country in the tube thing from The Running Man...

Removed a few posts. Let's leave personal attacks out over the conversation, please.

Been thinking about an alternative. A passenger hovercraft that uses the half transformer tech to charge its lift turbines and lift the vehicle while electric jet turbines propell it down the tunnel. Slightly different to the hyperloop with its air bearings but not by much. Our vehicle is now able to enter and exit the hyperloop pipe as though it were a hovercraft. This greatly reduces the tech needs of hyperloop stations.

Hovercraft are not easy to build, fuel-efficient, quiet, or safe to humans.

But a hovercraft like the hyperloop can be a craft electricaly charged by a half transformer every fifty meters so it doesnt run on fuel...and like the hyperloop and its air bearings run on a cushion of air.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a good, long while. His would make you orders of magnitude smarter than Stephen Hawking and probably the smartest human ever.

Eta: Not the smartest ever, but in the top 5.

Damn it, I hate not being on top...

As to Steven, I know whats happening in a black hole. Thats well ahead of hawking.

whats hapenning in a black hole?:
the singularity is a moment of change in possibility so strings defining a given possibility entanglement merge with their mirror and then separate into new entanglements and mirror string. And the exchange is in both directions so if you think of the string and its mirror string are part of larger entanglements there are debris entanglement remnant of greater possibility anchored to the singularity - lets call it dark matter. So it should be filling the event horizon. So why is there dark matter in our universe when it should be in a black hole event horizon? Because our universe is also in a larger black hole.

Still doubt me?

You aren't smart enough to know that selling 500 million novelty items at $100,000 a piece is impossible, so, do I doubt that you have an IQ of 214 (or even in the triple digits at all)? Yes.

Do I doubt that you believe you are as smart as you claim and believe everything you say? Not a bit.


I'm all for a hyperloop connection between the U.S. and Australia. With one end entrenched in Vegas and the other in Darwin, I figure the time is ripe for me to relaunch my candidacy for Mayor of Darwin. The capital city of the Northern Territory has 140 different reasons for tourists to visits, matey! Now put some shrimp on the barbie and cast your votes for me.

Are you telling me you wouldnt spend five hundred dollars on a lottery ticket whose first prize is a hundred billion dollars?

Liberty's Edge

No, because buying a lottery ticket is irrational. I can blow a dollar or two on hope and to benefit a good cause occasionally. A weeks pay to support mango fueled madness? Heck no.

yellowdingo is not a human, and therefore IQ tests are meaningless in regards to him.

That's exactly what I'm telling you. I'd much rather buy 500 $1 lottery tickets and hope to hit a few million than buy a single lottery ticket with a 0.00002 chance of winning more money than I can fathom. My quality of life wouldn't differ terribly much between a $20 million lottery and yours.
