What's up YouTube? Welcome back to day 23 of "Scamming One Kid a Day for 30 Days"

Im in
What if I create two things one day, and nothing the next day, but space out my posts so it looks like I did one thing each day? I could easily lie and no one would ever know or think to question me. But something tells me my laptop is tapped and there are secret cameras set up everywhere constantly monitoring me. I dont want to be hunted down and killed over this

What if it's 12:01AM on March 12 and I posted a drawing I created 2 minutes ago at 11:59pm on March 11. Its technically "yesterday," will I be executed by Israeli forces for cheating?
But get this though. If I take my stuff and hop on a plane to a different time zone that's an hour behind, "yesterday" will become "today", as it will be before midnight on March 11 still. This would no longer constitute as cheating, so will this protect me from Israeli forces? Will I get some time to move to a different timezone or is it kill-on-sight?

@Zycerak our friends over at Paragon are sticklers for the rules - just ask agencies such as ICE and the Ontario Provisional Police Department
I might suggest against pushing boundaries in this wonderful challenge. Sometimes they can get a bit antsy and are looking for opportunities to "mediate" delinquents

Made this. I just kind of started making stuff, and it ended up looking like an iPhone home screen when I put a glass effect on the squares, which was not at all the goal lmao. It only took like 15 minutes, which was nice because it looks alright imo. I'm definitely satisfied with how it turned out.

This is an excerpt of a creative piece im currently writing (about ~1/5 of my work so far). This was most of what I wrote today
I’m sure you're familiar with the riddle, “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” It’s quite a fun little problem to consider when you really think about it.
In one sense, no, it does not make a sound. Looking at the definition of sound, there needs to be someone or something – like a tape recorder – on the receiving end of the vibrations in the air in order to interpret the noise as the sensation of sound. So, taking the riddle at face value, let’s assume there are absolutely no recording devices, people or creatures with human-like hearing within this forest. A tree falls, and a crowd of outside observers don’t perceive a sound, let alone a physical disturbance. To this group, the sound does not exist and indeed never existed, and therefore the tree made no sound.
But in another sense, of course it made a sound. Waves of vibrations are inevitably and undoubtedly created as the tree moves through space, disturbing the air, impacting with its neighbours, casting off branches and needles before slamming into the ground. It’s absurd, you could argue, that something doesn’t exist simply because a human didn’t aurally perceive it. If you walked past a fallen tree, you wouldn’t think to yourself “what a sneaky devil, falling so quietly”. Indeed, you could probably imagine the sounds it made as it fell.
I feel this is only further illustrated if you follow this line of logic:
Once the tree has reached critical mass – whether from something happening to it or a force acting upon it – its fate is sealed and it is doomed to fall. This is simply a matter of the tree moving from a state of potential to kinetic energy, and a byproduct of its kinetic energy is sound. It doesn’t matter if no one is there to hear it or every person on the planet is; just as the impetus for the tree’s demise seals it’s unfortunate fate, so too does it ensure sound will be made, regardless of there being a listener or not. Laws of physics don’t suddenly cease working just because humans aren’t around to witness them, do they? Just ask the deer who fled in fear of its life once the tree started keeling over, or the owl who hissed in annoyance at being woken by such infernal racket!
Well, I put to bed that quandary, didn’t I? Behold the powers of science and logic! That’s all folks.
…
Well, not really. This was originally my take on the riddle, until I rather ironically realised I had missed the forest for the trees.
Because, to put it bluntly… We can’t ask the fucking deer, can we? Or the owl or the laws of physics? Even if we could somehow corner the deer and convince it we aren’t going to put it on a spit, it’s hardly going to break out into fluent Chinese, English or Mokilese, is it? And frankly it doesn’t even matter if the deer does scream some perfect Shanghainese at us. If humanity hasn’t perceived the sound, neither the laws of physics or even a magic deer fucking matter because – simply – it doesn’t exist to us, and things which exist in our collective memory is ultimately all that matters to us as people, so therefore the sound may as well have never existed at all. This isn’t a riddle of physics or logic or shockingly even deer, but of human perception, which is emotional, illogical and deeply flawed and personal. Yes, lots (notably not all) of us can abstractly understand physics means the falling tree always makes noise, but science and logic doesn’t matter at all when the riddle is fundamentally an interrogation of human knowledge, perception and understanding. For all intents and purposes, the tree did not make a sound, and therefore the sound never existed at any point in time, because we are humans and what we know is most important and what we don’t know doesn’t matter until we know it at which point it might be important or it might just be a tree sound that we happened to hear on our hike last week.Fun little riddle, huh?
… Or maybe I’m going too deep, and the curtains are just blue.

This is a much more substantial piece than I am likely to complete for the subsequent month, but I was extra motivated today when writing! Welcome everyone to creativity MONTH, and thank you for being a part of it. Very excited to see what all you talented people make in the next month
