Absolutely nothing, because I wouldn't want a stranger to talk to me in an elevator and I was raised to do unto others.

Considering it's only 8 seconds this must be the fastest fucking elevator ever so I'm probably screaming

[–] Damage@feddit.it 56 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The elevator is actually out of order, she likes hanging in there, but you leave as soon as you see it doesn't work

I make brief eye contact, purse my lips to form a half-smile, and nod my head downward. Then i move to an open corner of the elevator, i pull my phone out, and i end my turn.

Lady in red. It's a simulation, no experiment is going to show anything worthwhile.

"Look again."

looks

"Fuck, I wish you'd stop doing that, Morpheus."

[–] Emi@ani.social 54 points 4 weeks ago

Nothing and just awkwardly stare on the floor or wall, like with anyone else.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 47 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

Well, considering the only elevator I take is to a secure area, I'd ask to see your visitor's badge and inform you civilians aren't allowed here unescorted.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 13 points 3 weeks ago

She IS the escort.

Absolutely nothing because people who have elevator conversations are not worth talking to.

Second 1: introduce myself

Second 2: Andrew Tate pose

Second 3: obtain phone number

Second 4: go on date

Second 5: head home with them

Second 6: get touchy

Second 7: undress

Second 8: get off at my floor because I already came at second 1.

That's because you have big jugs.

I mean, your boobs are huge!

I mean, I want to squeeze em!

Mamma!

Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because... Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. "Paku Paku" means "flap your mouth", and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like...

I wouldn't say anything because some women find elevator pickup attempts intimidating.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

Tbf women say they find just interacting with men at all intimidating, see: Bears. I just don't talk to anyone anymore tbh.

I'm gonna die alone with my cats, but at least I won't be called creepy for asking a woman out for coffee!

Use the apps

No, privacy nightmare.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 11 points 3 weeks ago

Don't trust what the loud voices say.

Many, if not most, women are normal humans like you, looking for interaction like you.

Nothing because I'm taking the stairs

"I can be done in 7."

Omg girl, you look amazing in that dress. I'm so jealous. Be safe girl and remember to cover your drink.

Get in the lift.

Stare while ripping an absolutely rancid fart that strips the enamel off her teeth.

Sharpie my number across her tits and give her "double-guns" on the way out

I don't understand. What's a uniform gravitational field and why does being inside one feels like standing in an accelerating elevator?

[–] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 28 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a joke about Einstein's form of the Equivalence Principle:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle

[–] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Thanks. Let's see:

The weak equivalence principle, also known as the universality of free fall or the Galilean equivalence principle can be stated in many ways.

And

"... in a uniform gravitational field all objects, regardless of their composition, fall with precisely the same acceleration." "The weak equivalence principle implicitly assumes that the falling objects are bound by non-gravitational forces."[11]

I'm just beginning to understand. I'm not there yet.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²

This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

I was expecting this to be a video where her tits bounce in an elevator. Thoroughly disappointed.

If a hotdog is a sandwich, is the ocean a soup?

A hotdog is not a sandwich.

If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.

But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.

QED.

This is getting insane. I (somewhat at least) get those "you have 24hs with me" ones but what am i gonna do with you in 8 seconds. Id rather spend 24h with an egirl than 8 seconds with you lol.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

Going down?

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

"Nice uhh, b-leather we're having, uh."

cry, drop my spaghetti and run out

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

You don't have the proper PPE for the radiologically controlled area.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago

Tip my fedora and say M'Lady

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing, I don't like small talk with strangers.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

How did you get into my private elevator? SECURITY!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Is this elevator always that fast?

(Before hitting either the ceiling or the floor and both dying, probably.)

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

I was looking at my phone and didn’t notice you.
