Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the “4-Day Time Cube.” This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990’s. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are “educated stupid.”

      It’s entirely plausible that unbeknownst to us ai has developed within a harmonic cube congruency and thus what we assume to be 25 by years ago by our fake queer Greenwich time is actually 25 years in the future for ai following the harmonic influence of the 96 hour day cycle that everyone else is too stupid to notice. Within everything having 4 phases you should be skeptical of those who tell you that time travel isn’t possible for the 4 phases of time itself are forward, backward, up and down, anyone who tells you different is trying to coherce your mind straight into hell by saying the opposite, they are too stuck in their word world to realize that you have moved past that into the real-world.

      Unless it was time traveling AI then yes. It was around like 25 years ago, hence being a classic.

        Ok but what if the AI was on a different corner of the earth that is simultaneous to our own but also perpetually night because of our unconfessed sins? It would make sense then.

          You make a great point. Harmonic Cube states that the four days occur in one rotation. Four simultaneous days. 4 HORSEMEN HAVE 4 DAYS IN 1 ROTATION. Time Cube is Eternal.

      Do not speak to me of the old websites, I was there when it was written.

      Sadly, it’s legit and really just run-of-the-mill mental illness.

      I also considered asking ChatGPT to generate something derivative; maybe it managed to crawl the actual text off of archive.org or something. But then I realized that it might hallucinate something actually convincing, and decided against it.
