I love how it looks like the cat is looking at the empty box thinking "Yo wtf???”

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It probably is actually.

Wait. Shouldn't the cat be in both boxes, though? The two states are dead or alive and not nonexistent or existent

The cat's a Jedi. It fades away when it dies.

Yes, but it does not change anything to the statement, it is irrelevant whether it is illustrated with alive/dead or existing/non-existent
