Nasty hobitses did not mention radioactive particle decay or poison
vilevial! Cat is just dead dead dead!! Suffocated, starved, sensory deprived cat!*vial
poison is vile, killing cats is vile, I see absolutely no problem here >.>
A box without a lid, no way to check on the cat, and no air holes. That cat is dead. It was always going to die.
Going to, but there was no given time frame. So you don’t know if it is dead, yet
By the time you ask the question, you are unquestionably sick, sadistic, & cruel because no one lives long enough to be otherwise.
Are you also dead because you’re guaranteed to die eventually? It’s not an experiment of the eventual outcome but the observation of the outcome. While you’re observing the cat it has to be alive or dead, it can’t be both. But when you stop observing the certainty disappears and the cat is no longer dead or alive but both at the same time.
Depends on the size of the box and how long it’s been
What’s really in the box are the 12 year old girls Schroedinger used to rape
He in the Trump-Einstein-Files?
Yes and no
Schrödinger’s Discord Kitties, as it were
Shouldn’t they both be right
Luckily, Bilbo remembered to add “Answer fully”
Alive and death at the same time. It’s more like asking if the coin is heads or tails when the coin is still spinning.
Not if they are both wrong.
No, the cat is one or the other. Radioactive half-life is the point at which there is a 50/50 chance that any single isotope had decayed, and we usually work around that in classical systems by using large sample sizes (a pile of isotopes, it’s easy to see that half of it would have decayed). But for one single isotope we aren’t observing (or the cat), we need to look at it in terms of probabilities until we observe it
is the cat a qualifed observer>
No, it’s a conscientious objector
am i a qualified observer[9]?
The correct answer is yes.
wrong again!

Eventually dead, from multiple potential causes. Especially with no lid.
just shake the box up a bit. you’ll soon know if the cat inside is alive or dead!?
Bro the cat is dying
Aren’t we all?
… It’d be a lot easier to explain this if Schroedinger had a whole pile of boxes with cats in them
oh god you just made me write the stupidest nerdiest song about schroedinger in about half a second and the chorus goes “and he’s got boxes and boxes and boxes of cats/ yeah he’s got boxes and boxes and boxes of cats” i feel so ashamed
‘and half of them are dead / but what about THIS ONE? / nobody knows, nobody knowwwws’
YOU HEAR IT TOO
oh gods. i’m going to ask my wife if it’s coming out my teeth
edit: she says yes it’s coming out your teeth, you’re singing
Poor kitty
The cat was Schrödingers example how super positions make no sense in complex organisms. It was a counter-example, yet everyone uses it as if there would be a undead cat in the box.
