I'd imagine you would get some pretty horrible distortion in the picture. That has to be why we haven't done it yet.

[–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 34 points 2 years ago

that and we can't yet get below EU's accepted limit of hawking radiation

Lol .... gets up to move the black hole around to find the perfect angle

Surely you'll get terrible chromatic aberration. That's got to be the only reason it's never been made commercially available.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

The optical machanics of this make zero sense. A spherical lense's focal points lie in a straight line so the only undistorted image you can get from this is with the black hole between you and the tv

If you're really attached to that bed and TV placement you could also just use mirrors? Idk seems easier

I have personally never owned a chair and at this point I'm afraid to.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I just sit on large boulders.

What is this chair technology?

[–] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gonna have to be binoculars too

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Or a curved mirror for built-in zoom!

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could also use a mirror. And then a set of binoculars, so it doesn't look so small.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Two mirrors if you don't want your screen flipped.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Have you thought about moving your TV, OP?

OP doesn't want to toil like a peasant

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Plus you would get way more sleep. The downside is you will age faster than the population.

[–] allywilson@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The upside is you will age slower than the population.

You are so wise

It's time dilation. Meaning it makes stuff take longer.

You'd be cooked by the radiation emitted by the accretion disk,

edit: It would be a VERY tiny accretion disk but it would still act like a cracked out microwave magnetron

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what you're saying is that it would also give me free heating? sweet

[–] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I can guarantee you'd be at least warm for the rest of your life!

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does everyone think you need to be in bed to watch TV? There's a couch there.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Couch is strictly for casting purposes only.

[–] Alistaire@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

isn't that for sleeping?

[–] Sheltr@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Just lay down the other way with your feet to the head board silly. 🪿

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Get a long swing out arm for the TV. Swing it 90 degrees. [LikeThis] (https://a.co/d/htnnZWA)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

There way is simpler

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Sleep on the couch. That bed is for guests only.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Have you thought about spinning the bed by 180 degrees, OP?
