I'd imagine you would get some pretty horrible distortion in the picture. That has to be why we haven't done it yet.

[–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 40 points 8 months ago

that and we can't yet get below EU's accepted limit of hawking radiation

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago

Lol .... gets up to move the black hole around to find the perfect angle

Surely you'll get terrible chromatic aberration. That's got to be the only reason it's never been made commercially available.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 5 points 8 months ago

The optical machanics of this make zero sense. A spherical lense's focal points lie in a straight line so the only undistorted image you can get from this is with the black hole between you and the tv

[–] Lizardqueen@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If you're really attached to that bed and TV placement you could also just use mirrors? Idk seems easier

I have personally never owned a chair and at this point I'm afraid to.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I just sit on large boulders.

What is this chair technology?

[–] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Gonna have to be binoculars too

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 9 points 8 months ago

Or a curved mirror for built-in zoom!

Black hole that only bends light... interesting concept. I'd gravitate to calling this unholy.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The only remedy is attending mass more often.

[–] 768@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

I always see those events on the horizon, but I dare not go to the Holy Ghost or how that one is called.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You could also use a mirror. And then a set of binoculars, so it doesn't look so small.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Two mirrors if you don't want your screen flipped.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Have you thought about moving your TV, OP?

[–] odium@programming.dev 13 points 8 months ago
[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 8 points 8 months ago

OP doesn't want to toil like a peasant

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Plus you would get way more sleep. The downside is you will age faster than the population.

[–] allywilson@sopuli.xyz 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The upside is you will age slower than the population.

You are so wise

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

It's time dilation. Meaning it makes stuff take longer.

You'd be cooked by the radiation emitted by the accretion disk,

edit: It would be a VERY tiny accretion disk but it would still act like a cracked out microwave magnetron

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

what you're saying is that it would also give me free heating? sweet

[–] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

I can guarantee you'd be at least warm for the rest of your life!

[–] Sheltr@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

Just lay down the other way with your feet to the head board silly. 🪿

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does everyone think you need to be in bed to watch TV? There's a couch there.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Couch is strictly for casting purposes only.

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Get a long swing out arm for the TV. Swing it 90 degrees. [LikeThis] (https://a.co/d/htnnZWA)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

There way is simpler

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Sleep on the couch. That bed is for guests only.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Have you thought about spinning the bed by 180 degrees, OP?

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 5 points 8 months ago
[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Use a projector
