Reply to Are we living inside a black hole? by Lilweedoholic

It's a higher dimensional black hole. Three dimensions are not affected (x,y,z), one is continuously pulled in one direction (time), and several others have been crushed or curled up into virtually nothingness. That is why we can't find the missing dimensions of M theory.

Reply to TIL Western music traveled to China in the 80s through these cracked cassette tapes. Once discarded as trash, and shipped to China's black market from abroad, they were purposefully destroyed by labels to prevent resales. And these tapes influenced a generation of musicians in China. by fangz_fabricated

I used to work at a music store. We used to sell 'cut outs' in the discount bins. I was told they had notches made in them so that they couldn't be sold at full price, and couldn't be returned for full price either.

Sometimes we would have the same tape or CD in the cutout bins and on the full price shelves for two very different prices.

When cutouts wouldn't sell at the discounted price, they would keep getting reduced until they were in the $1 bin. Can't ever remember packing them up to send to China.
