Reminds me of r/FifthWorldProblems.

Generally, neurons store neurotransmitters until it's time to fire. The neuron will then either wait for more supply, or in the case of dopamine neurons, synthesized inside the neuron itself. Without storing the oxytocin, there would be no way for the neuron to fire. It has to have one "in the chamber."

Seconded. The Endless is so well done.

No. A person, a rock, a chunk of dirt, etc. do not hold superpositions, do not entangle states, or any other quantum phenomenon. Quantum physics only describes the behavior of atomic and sub-atomic particles at an atomic and sub-atomic scale.
>Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.[2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

The effects that quantum physics describes only occur at an atomic and sub-atomic scale. Superpositions, entanglement, these things only happen at a quantum scale. Your body does not hold a superposition. Nor does a rock.

They use sub-atomic particles that exist in superpositions and quantum computing operates on the probability they will arrive in certain states.

It is still only a behavior of the quantum particles. The point is that it has nothing to do with all the metaphysical stuff ascribed to it.

No. Things on that small of a scale behave differently, that's why they had to come up with quantum physics to describe it.

Another giant, glaring issue is that: quantum physics describes the behavior of particles on an atomic and sub-atomic scale. It has nothing to do with the complex macro structures we know as "reality."

The Super Nintendo was only 3.58MHz and look at what it was capable of.
