When you walk into the ladies’ room and discover that your hotel is part of the Hilbert franchise

@AstroKatie Reminds me of the Radisson Non-Euclidean near Heathrow Airport…

@AstroKatie "I can't understand why there is a line for the restroom in this place."

@gladiola @AstroKatie it's because nobody's willing to pinch off in the middle and move up one stall when someone new turns up

@AstroKatie On one hand, you'll never have to queue, on the other you might need to walk a *long* time to find a free stall.

@dascandy42
@AstroKatie
Unless there's already a countably infinite number of people occupying all of them, in which case you have to wait or get everyone to move over.

@ids1024 @AstroKatie Major respect to the people that built it though. Looks great.

@dascandy42 @ids1024 @AstroKatie they're still building it, only the first N rooms are ready 😂 🤣

@marcorobotics @dascandy42@mastodon.soci @AstroKatie The project is way over budget and was supposed to be completed ages ago. They have finished every other room, but they have as many rooms to construct as they did at the start.

The contractor, Zeno, could not be reached for comment.

@ids1024 @AstroKatie I am very hopeful I will reach Zeno, every time I try he gets closer and closer....

@AstroKatie
Hey, look at all those available stalls!

... oh, wait 🤨

@AstroKatie (Also, good to see you posting here again. Missed you in my feed after I left Twitter!)

@AstroKatie If every stall is occupied you can ask everyone to move along by one and then there'll be room.

Just need the courage to ask infinite people to move cubicle.

@AstroKatie you can check in, but you can't check out

@AstroKatie I wouldn't stay in one of those. The staff is known to wake you in the middle of the night and make you move into a different room.

@AstroKatie Please, leave as soon as you can! I knew a cleaning lady that was super excited to start there a while ago. We never seen her again since the day she started!

@ninoles I have bad news. I listened to the PA system, and I heard "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave". And then somehow a very nice guitar solo.

@Peetz0r I KNEW IT!
Now, we need to get some knives and kill the unkillable beast!

@AstroKatie the "we need more people like you" implementation of "be careful what you wish for". 😛

@AstroKatie It's really annoying (and unhygienic) when they suddenly ask everyone to shift to a 2*N stall because infinite new guests just arrived...

@AstroKatie I do believe you have entered the Infinity Hotel.

@AstroKatie

Are you sure it’s not an infinite unidentified space station?

They do exist. Here’s the report of the one JG Ballard discovered:

geosci.uchicago.edu/%7Ekite/do

geosci.uchicago.eduReport on an Unidentified Space Station

@AstroKatie get out there now!
i heard all guests are forced to switch rooms at the exact same time to make space for more guests.
thats no good customer experience!
once you are in the loop there is no way out.

@AstroKatie “AstroKatie, To Infinity and Beyond!”

@AstroKatie Have they asked you to move rooms yet?

@AstroKatie will you help the first person switch rooms?

@AstroKatie Deleted restroom scene from @rudytheelder’s White Light?

@AstroKatie One wrong turn and you wind up in the universe where the letter “w” doesn't exist.

@AstroKatie How do we know this post is from Katie-prime. For all we know, one of the infinite alt-Katies could have escaped into our world.

@mcnees @AstroKatie ah dammit do I need to dig out the quantum subspace resonance variance detector again? It’s buried in a box in my storage unit right now. 😠

@AstroKatie
that's where those murderers are always chasing you in the funhouse... 😬

@AstroKatie - Welcome to The Hotel California. Such a lovely place....

@BrianWolven @AstroKatie "Welcome to the Aperture Science Waste Evacuation Chamber."

@AstroKatie This effect always freaked me out as a kid. Well, okay, it still does.

@AstroKatie that’s kind of awesome - no line because there can always be infinitely many stalls available

@thatandromeda @AstroKatie but it may take a while to walk to the available one…

@AstroKatie quick, leave room N and move into room 2*N 😂 🤣

@AstroKatie The infinite hotel nightmare, but I approve.😆

@AstroKatie I just used this to describe cavity ringdown and exponential decay.
