Yet somehow still so poor they have to turn to stealing and eating cats.
It's like a superposition of a superposition.
This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.
A superposition is being in all possible states before "collapsing" into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).
So Schrodinger's immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny
It was an attempt at a joke, but thanks for the explainer.
No worries, I don't expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.
The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.
