But God has the challenge of starting with a minuscule room, expand the cabling as it goes without being able to unplug or replace any cables or move servers during the lifetime of the system, and can't afford any downtime or shutdown for maintenance.

He's supposed to be omnipotent. No excuses!

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My brother in Christ, He is the one who is omnipotent, not your weak ass body.

"Omnipotent" Being couldn't design a better body?

Skill issue, tbh

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 9 points 1 year ago

He could have, but he didn't want to.

He enjoys the suffering.

God just thought that implementation would be easier.

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Designing a better body would be to create another divine being, which would be himself.

Recursive issue, tbh.

Implying any improvement to the human body would make us God, also implying any improvements beyond that would make us better than God.

Implying any improvements that don't make us divine would satisfy you.

[–] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why should we be satisfied with anything less, were it possible?

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Assuming God exists, the end goal of many religions is just that, we end up in a divine state.

without being able to unplug or replace any cables

Oh! Oh! Here's where I get to bring out one of my favorite terms, which I rarely get to do: Foramen ovale.

Short version: It's a hole in the fetal heart that allows blood to bypass the (non-functioning) lungs. It usually closes up at birth. God found a way to re-route cables upon deploying the system into production.

Without downtime too!

Shhh, the IT guys are trying to have a moment

[–] avogadro@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Also the system has to assemble itself

[–] Thranduil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ofc he can replace cables he is god he can just pause time make a patch do some maintenance and then unpause

Uh ho! Somebody implied that God is not omnipotent/omniscient, and shall be stoned. Oopsie!
