All posts ITT are calls for a reset to the forum rep points. Wipe the slate clean!

[a500lbgorilla]

Bored seeking outlets. Will approve any post ITT.

[d0zer]

I refuse to be part of any sort of undeserved rep-whoring

I am crippled by your words. I want to incorporate you in the obvious rep-whoring, but you refuse... which makes me want to rep you... which makes you kind of a whore...

Down rep this post and collect up reps.

[philly and the phanatics]

to even things out im going to -rep anyone who posts in here

[a500lbgorilla]

My + > your -

It's called science. Deal with it.

[philly and the phanatics]

pff, not when im done -repping you, and after that you can refer to your sig for further directions

[oskar]

Annoyed and seeking outlets.
Will downrep anyone ITT.
Starting with d0zer.

[oskar]

Phone posts are so fail.
Everyone beat me to it lol.

My uprep message: There is a belt which wraps around the world by the equator. The belt grows 6 feet in length in the last decade by global warming. You lift the belt as high as you can, how high have you lifted the belt from the Earth?

P.S. the belt wraps tightly around the Earth before it grows 6 feet.

Does the belt have elasticity and if so how much?

mmm, tasty pie means i can no longer tighten my belt
worth it though

[a500lbgorilla]

As I wield the power to see deleted posts, I'm left to wonder why you would think you could lift the belt as high as you could by having your hands 1 foot apart. Seems like you'd manage lifting highest if you lifted at essentially one point on the belt.

If the belt was wrapped tightly around the earth, (IE you couldn't get your finger underneath the belt before the growth of the belt), you still wouldn't be able to get your fingers under the belt

Circumference of a circle is pi(r). If we say that R is 1 unit, we need to figure out what 6 feet looks like when compared to 3.14 units R when R is 50% of the width of the earth.

2r = 2726.41 miles
therefore R = 1363.205 miles

R converted to feet when there 5280 feet in a mile. = 7197722.4 feet

therefore pi(r) = 22611644.9196

We'll round up.

To find out the percentage of feet we are adding to the band, we take 6 feet and devide by pi(r) 6/22611645 = .000000265% (You technically get to multiply this number by 2, becuase while the bottom half will be taught, everything above the equator where you're lifting the ball, will be trying to pull away from the sphere. Which is ultimately the problem.

Because of the way space distributes over the curvature of a sphere, and because of the amount of distance being covered, 6 feet doesn't mean bupkiss.

Touche.

Some quick number crunching to see if this is true yields...



I seem to fall on the other extreme. Adding 6 feet of length to the belt will allow you to lift it 2780 feet into the air. lol

heh. My mind is sufficiently blown. I was only guessing.. honest.

This was one of several reasons I regretted my decision to post at 3am having been traveling all day on little sleep.

[a500lbgorilla]

Also, I may have to renege on my title claim... "You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

[Ragnar4]

It's a trap!

[Penneywize]

the weight of a belt that is as long as the circumference of the earth would be too much for you to pull up any slack that may have been added

SLAM DUNK FFFF YEAH

[wufwugy]

fuck you stupid cunt i fucking hate you and everything you've ever been

haha wow this is the best of its kind

lol wp wuf

[Luco]

Is this like that letter I got last week from a retired US army guy with a hidden arab fortune?

I sent him my life savings, he should be in touch any day now!

I consider this to be my posting ITT, I shall await the gains

[BennyLaRue]

I...refuse?

[WillburForce]

I...refuse?

So do I

[jjbish]

I love how rilla just randomly starts threads when he's bored.

[eugmac]

I am here to collect my gains.

[Warpe]

[a500lbgorilla]

The system is holding me back. I only got to uprep 2 posts before I hit my 24 hour limit.

[supa]

I don't understand any of that but I simply don't believe it's true.

[Shotglass]

I find it difficult to believe that a 6' difference will allow that much lift.
Is this one of those deals that shows that mathematics is not always correct?

[Luco]

I refuse to believe you can gain more than 6' of lift from adding 6' of belt

[a500lbgorilla]

I find it difficult to believe that a 6' difference will allow that much lift.

Well, my math might not be correct. Solving for theta isn't exactly a trivial thing and I just tossed it into Wolfram Alpha, so I dunno how accurate that is.

But the question is interesting because your first common sense sanity check is incorrect. By adding 6 feet of length to the belt, you can actually lift it significantly higher off the ground.

[Shotglass]

I was leaning toward less than 6' of lift. You lift the belt then you've got about 3' per side, the actual verticle lift would be much less than 3'.

[philly and the phanatics]

hahaha someone just negged me saying "WAS IT YOU?" ...i assume they are revenge negging me when i am innocent i swear it =(

[Shotglass]

revenge negging sucks

I try to give out only + reps, but since I'm still a supervillain, my + reps are all neutral

[Hawk]

You are all a bunch of whores!

[Shotglass]

@ rilla - c'mon. who said I had any common sense or sanity?

@ hawk - guess you decided to join us, so it should be we're all a bunch of whores

[givememyleg]

I WANT SOME

[Shotglass]

I WANT SOME

common sense, sanity or more green?

Shotglass is green? This means rapture is near.

Holy crap! Guess I gotta go piss off someone again

[givememyleg]

i only have ONE FUCKING GREEN BOX

[fjuanl]

i want 2 green boxes too

[Halv]

Shotglass is green? This means rapture is near.

Rilla how tall are you?

[a500lbgorilla]

Shotglass is green? This means rapture is near.

Rilla how tall are you?

Like 2780 ft tall. I dunno specifically. I haven't been measured in a while.

[Galapogos]

Halv's green boxes are out of control!

[bikes]

GMML IS A SPLENDID ONE TO BEHOLD!

[givememyleg]

LOOK AT ALL MY BARS OMG

my rep is 10x as valuable as you peons and i'm feeling generous...

[BennyLaRue]

Hi!

[Penneywize]

hi gmml!

[a500lbgorilla]

Yeah!

[givememyleg]

wipe the slate clean, you say?

[philly and the phanatics]

hahah did you know if you scroll over the boxes it has description, apparently i am a "beacon of light" lol...your welcome for being such in an otherwise bleak and dreary world

[eugmac]

I've always admired gmml for being a strong, stand-up guy; a real asset to the community.

[Galapogos]

Admins can cheat up their rep points? Lame.

[philly and the phanatics]

haters destroying my beautiful rep...haters gonna hate

[bikes]

haters destroying my beautiful rep...haters gonna hate

no its cause you posted pure bollocks in a very cool thread

[eugmac]

YES SOMEBODY NEG REPPED ME FOR MY BLATANT SUCKUP POST YAY WOOHOO MY TARP IS WORKING

[philly and the phanatics]

what?...you may have -repped me in the "big red workoutplay list " thread cause i dont like your faggy pop music...but someone -repped my beacon of light comment as well lol

[philly and the phanatics]

and that "big red thread bollocks" was 23 days ago, im glad it just pissed you off today -___-

[BooG690]

Someone hook me up with four boxes.

[bikes]

ask and thou shalt recieve!

[BooG690]

ask and thou shalt recieve!

Very nicely played sir.

[bigred]

bikes for president

[Hawk]

lol that's just awesome.

[bigred]

So apparently Mods can change reps...I did not know this. I guess the reputation is solely based on the integrity of each Mod. I like video games, wine, and clothes. PM me for negotiation details. You want those green boxes, I want stuff, we can make a deal.

[givememyleg]

woah, mods and admins can change their own and others rep?

rigged

[bikes]

....how do you think you got like 7 boxes???

[jyms]

I thought it was only admins. I've never been able to adjust them. I tried to when they first started, believe me.

[a500lbgorilla]

It depends on if you're a Tier 1 mod or a Tier 2.

[kiwiMark]

which am I?

[a500lbgorilla]

which am I?

S-class.

[OngBonga]

So can we opt out of it yet? I kinda miss the images, especially the quote and edit box.
