meh needs to accept the heat death of the universe
8Yup, Meh, it's all meaningless. Someday -- some people say it could be a long time from now, but maybe it won't be -- everything will just run out of energy. All this fun, all this camaraderie, all this chat, all these great products... just cold dead atoms.
With that in mind, why even keep anything in your warehouse, Meh? Why not just give it to us in some random but fair fashion so we can enjoy it while there's still light and warmth and happiness and... dare I say it... love? You like love, don't you, Meh? At least while it's still around for us...?

On that note, did you ever read Fred Pohl's The World at the End of Time?
@PocketBrain Does it involve Internet retailers accepting the uselessness of commerce in a cold, uncaring universe and distributing the contents of their warehouses to the customers they love and want to make happy?
By Meh maintaining an organized warehouse, properly palletizing, shelving, logging, inventorying, and protecting widely varied products from the ravages of time, weather, and disorganization, they are decreasing entropy in the universe. A diaspora of these regulated, regimented, packaged items to the faceless masses, to be rent asunder, used to destruction, refitted, or left to collect dust will increase entropy, reducing the time left before the Cosmic All winds down to the cold death you describe.
Is your desire for your share of the overstock caca so great that you would hasten the very fate you describe? Bring the universe crashing down upon us all all the sooner for a speaker dock, generic batteries, and some socks?
@duodec DECREASING entropy?? Madness!
@duodec Could you express that in a haiku?
@duodec Yes.
@duodec
@sligett I'm not @duodec, but...
Organized warehouse
Minimizes entropy
No free shit for you
@editorkid Bravo. You have decreased entropy in the universe by bringing order from chaos.
Chaos is outside
But inside, rows of order
Staving off the end
Speaker docks shipped out
Heat death of the universe
approaches quickly
Free caca they cry
but its deliverance means
More quickly they die
At universe' end
the last sound in the Cosmos
a resounding Meh...
@duodec I prefer limericks.
There once was a deal a day website....
@Teripie
There once was a deal-a-day site
That faced such a terrible plight
If they sold all their plunder
The cosmos would sunder
A fact that might give some a fright
But some said it would be all right
and no need to worry or fright
Its all going to end
on that just depend
And buy stuff with all of your might.
Then up came a not so new thought
That put the deal site on the spot
their stuff should be free
for you, and for me
Right now while the Cosmos is hot
But everything comes with a price
no matter the type of device
and entropy's gain
will be quite a pain
as everything turns into ice.
@duodec Bravo! @JonT or @Moose or someone should be sure and see this.
@duodec That's, like, too-good-for-us amazing.
@editorkid Nyet. Its just doggerel, and therefore quite at home here of all places. Frankly your haiku was the perfect response (darn it!) ;)
What does meh have against Jonathan Miller? Only he and Alan Bennett are left....
THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER.
@goldenthorn But AC will continue to work on it until the answer to that final question is determined.
But honestly, the inevitable is still inevitable.
