So, you guys, I just found out that reality is coded in a ternary version of Object Pascal. WHY. I can't do object based in there factors, that doesn't even make sense! Curse you reality!

@theonepony At least it's not in colorForth. Why is that even a thing.
-
@theonepony It could be worse. Think if reality was programmed in QBASIC.
-
@drewdle No. Dear Gog no. Hehehe. It could, theoretically, be done in Braikiwi.
-
@theonepony @drewdle Pshaw dears, reality is pure machine code stored on a warehouse full of punchcards.
-
@theonepony *Braindole
-
@theonepony Reality is programmed in Ath. It's even canon now.
-
@theonepony Although to be fair, I'm glad reality isn't programmed at all. Imagine waking up and the first thing you have to do is declare your variables.
-
@jinny I'm sure if I knew the language it wouldn't be that bad/
-
@drewdle It's got it's own reference database. I was scrolling through for a few hours and I only got to absinth before I had to stop.
-
@theonepony It's not bad dear. ^^ Just a bit time consuming. xD
-
@ceruleanspark That's a Troll language, though.
-
@jinny I wonder how big the section storing info about dicks is?
-
@ceruleanspark @colfax Wait just a moment. Am I so much of a lady that Golden Harvest is a euphemism for something, and I don't know about it?
-
@theonepony Wait what? I would guess that it would only be few bits, since they're so simple a construct.
-
@theonepony and they [REDACTED] our entire universe. In the most recent episode the [REDACTED] double reacharound even kicked in. Ours is the second universe it imports.
-
@ceruleanspark ~Ath. As in "till death".
-
@jinny But what kind of variation functions would you have to use? Imagine programing that.
-
@theonepony Nooooo...if programmers made the universe, it would be 1 bit. 0 for male, 1 for female. xD Programmers are lazy dear. ^^
-
@ceruleanspark But ~ATH isn't available in on the web. I'd have to write in notepad or something until a functioning HTML plugin shows up.
-
@jinny Well, to get the level of variation we do, it would have to be a fair bit more complicated.
-
@theonepony Sollux codes it at a CLI. You just need to man up.
-
@ceruleanspark Blugh. I hate chromatic languages. That's why I was complaining about colorForth.
-
@theonepony Wait a moment dear, what are we talking about in terms of variation again? ^^ Forgive me, my mind is a bit scattered, but yes. If it's variation you want, we'll bump it up to a byte. hehe.
-
@theonepony I was under the impression that the coloration in ~ath was actually syntax highlighting, rather than any function of the language itself.
-
@jinny That's what I mean. Also, how many warehouses are we talking?
-
@theonepony Ok, well. We could still fit it all into one warehouse. ;)
-
@ceruleanspark No, it's not really, but you have to use color specification if you want to alter entropy in any meaningful way.
-
@jinny Are we talking about 3'x5.5' cards?
-
@theonepony I don't think ~ath actually alters entropy. I think it just uses a measurement thereof for timing its loops.
-
@theonepony These babies. I dont think they're 3 feet by 5.5 feet. ^^ http://ur1.ca/5lyqj
-
@ceruleanspark Normally it doesn't, but the coloring let's you do all sorts of neat stuff.
-
@theonepony ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ I know a more efficient way to reverse entropy.

@ceruleanspark Holy nuts, that's adorable.
-
@jinny You punch out so many holes in a three foot by five and a half foot punch card.......

@theonepony Kyuubey is one of my favourite anime characters ever.
-
@ceruleanspark hi pony pal
-
@ceruleanspark I never really liked the anime version. I much preferred the manga.
-
@theawesomepony Hey bro. Just got back to my desk. What's up?
-
@ceruleanspark not too much yourself ? what are you up to ?
-
@theonepony What, Jyuubey?
-
@theawesomepony At this moment in time I am: Correcting a document template someone typed over. Setting up a new laptop for a member of staff. Setting up user accounts for two new starters, debugging a blackberry server, overseeing the installation of a thinprint client on my company's main server, transferring clients between sections of our business database, extracting data from our client database for analysis, adding fields to some of our bordereau templates and uplift documents. And this, I guess.

@ceruleanspark sounds intense what's your job
-
@theawesomepony I am the sole IT person for a 50 person company. Also, all 50 people know nothing about computers.
-
@ceruleanspark Your job must be a lot of fun.
-
@redenchilada I think about suicide on an almost daily basis.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh no, don't do that. We'd all miss you. Like, seriously. I'd hold a candelight vigil if you did.
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, the thought is never far from my mind either. But I'm always able to fight it off.
-
@ceruleanspark Well stop it, if you top yourself you;ll miss future episodes of MLP.
-
@redenchilada I managed to score in the highest possible bracket for my depression diagnosis. It's the only time I've ever gotten first place at anything
-
@ceruleanspark that stinks so you are basically having to educate them right
-
@theawesomepony He has to fix their problems, because they don't want to learn themselves, and want to communicate to him with screams and grunts. @ceruleanspark
