Remember to set the dial to Normal if you dont want things to be weird

@prehensile my mind goes to Curses, an old text adventure game
at one point you find a sort of control panel for the entire universe, and on it are two settings you can fiddle with: the switch between "Free Will" and "Determinism," which you must flip in order to continue the game, and a knob which adjusts the reduced Planck constant
yes, you can destroy the entire universe just by turning a knob
@DaveOfThings @theryusui the world needs more portentous knobs
@theryusui @prehensile It reminds me of my college days. There was one computing class the entire university had to take (at CMU) and it was hosted on a lame minicomputer named ALOE. In the TA's office the thermostat had a label, ALOE SPEED, and the dial always pointed to SLOW. When assignments we're due, the system would slow to a crawl and some harsh words were exchanged when students discovered the dial.
