A simple feature request.

Yes?

Oh, it's in the title.

I approve of this pony.

Surely if you've favorited or commented on the thread, you already know it has [more inside]?

Unless you meant user contacts, in which case, carry on.

It's not that simple a request, it may require a Subgroup of Finite Index, otherwise known as (I learnt today), a Cox-Zucker machine.

But hey, I'm all for it.

I think there should be more inside of everything, all the time. More outside, too - an infinite supply of it, reaching the singularity of cosmic unity.

tellurian, that is the worst name for an algorithm I've ever heard. I love it.

Cox-Zucker? That's awesome.

Nothing is simple. Everything's complicated. The world is full of lousy Cox-Zuckers who make everything complicated.

I have it on good authority that Cox and Zucker were admitted as grad students to Princeton in precisely the hope that they would someday collaborate. This kind of forethought is why Princeton is Princeton.

I really hope the Cox-Zucker vibrates.

I thought Cox-Zucker were refuted by Puller and Mileg and later separately by Hugh Mustbefuckin and Joe King.

I think there should be more inside of everything,

I see that you subscribe to the Russian Matryoshka Doll model of the universe. It's an interesting theory that one... that inside every universe is a smaller cuter version of itself, these nest recursively until, as the numbers suggest, that there is a perfectly small, infinitely adorable universe that nothing is capable of escaping from.

It probably looks like a baby duck or a bunny or something.

The Cox-Zucker team has repeatedly refused to work with Drew Peacock, citing lack of motivation and production delays.

I think it's a great idea. Also, I could use the work.

I am become subgroup of finite index, Zucker of Cox.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Any relation to the Bouquette-O'Cox theorem?

I just want it known that our ubiquitous use of lolcat language for feature requests is great. I would like this trend to continue in bureaucratic and diplomatic style manuals. "I can has debt releef?" "I can has new cover for teepeess reeport?"

A simple feature request: all threads should automatically close after 100 comments.

Close your eyes. Can you imagine?

The Cox–Zucker article is real. Only $32 for the Cox–Zucker PDF.
