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.”

    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.
