Life is just one big fight against entropy

[-] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

Local entropy, that is. At a global scale, life increases entropy.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Yep, and life basically is entropy; or entropy causes life, the great mixing!

Wait, it's all entropy?

Bugs and trash are bad entropy, food and people are good entropy. Until people look like bugs and trash, then you do fascism.

Life is an orderly system of producing disorder

At a global scale, everything increases entropy

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Well, nothing increases it, but aren't there contexts where it is unchanged? Vacuum and single isolated particles don't increase entropy I suppose.

Just adding energy into the system.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

i misread that in my first reply, my adding energy (low entropy) to my high entropy system i stay alive

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

You fool, you utter buffoon, by doing this you increase entropy even more!

(and by "doing this" I mean doing literally anything)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Nonsense, entropy is a zero sum game…

Hence why I never tidied up my room as a child. My mom is in on it

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Only sometimes. Other times, you want to add extra entropy, so you can have a nice hot dinner.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Entropy giveth and entropy taketh away

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

i would ague that that would actually be low entropy, cuz the amount of heat energy (high entropy) in the meal is quite low compared to the chemical energy it holds (low entropy), hence overall a hot meal is still low in entropy, and by ingesting it i transfer its low entropy into my system (body)

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I am entropy.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Thank god for fridges

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I say, let entropy work for you!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Entropy lurks everywhere.
