Thank you, that guy... Have my updoot.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm keeping the prompt as it is, since it's fun, but I actually learned something here. My understanding, even from science videos, was that something's state was "undecided" until it was observed, upon which it instantly "snapped" into one of its possible states (alive or dead). This was also the basis of the "multiverse theory", where it "snapped" into all possible states, with each one being it's own resulting reality.

Your explanation, while less fun, does make more sense.

This is what I immediately thought of. Thank you for making it a reality.
