So does this shit really work?
Is this physically possible and most importantly, has anyone here ever tried it? What matters most is the actual experiment and the result.

My guess is that Earth's gravity will instantly crush the persons bones and organs, killing them instantly.

Interesting to think that the change in gravity would crush you in free fall.

But I think it would just be disorienting without hurting you.

Would like to know how many times you would have to go in and out of the portal at that speed until airdrag has slowed you to a stop.

>> earth's gravity will instantly crush
No. Fuck no. Why the fuck would you think that would happen? The person doesn't go through the portal instantly, they go through at terminal velocity.

Now if you could magically switch earth's gravity instantly, it wouldn't crush them because everything falls at the same rate. If you had a magical way to generate repulsive gravitational forces you could, in a vacuum, instantly go from zero to many kilometers per second. Because everything moves at the same rate one would not be crushed.

Why is nobody talking about this?
Why do the youtube videos only have a few hundred views?
Just what the fuck is this thing? There's no way it's a swarm of birds or bugs. It has the same shape in all the videos, looks like a floating molar with a malfunctioning cloaking system.
Multiple videos, multiple locations, once again why isn't anyone talking about this?
Is this thing human-caused? Hologram?

what does it mean to "return a value to its caller"?

I got that return(0) means your program has no errors, and that returning any other integer means there is an error, but what confuses me is returning variables. Can someone please explain to me the return statement so I can understand what returning variables does?

Suppose you have function
int sum(int a,int b) {
return a+b;
}

Whenever you call it, your program executes a subprogram that does the computation and all your program does while that is going on is wait for the subprogram to communicate back with something.

For example if you run:
sum(3,5);

Your computer will execute that subprogram, which will return 8 to your main program, signaling to it that it can now continue.

But if you run
int c = sum(3,5);

Then your program executes the subprogram sum, this does the computation and returns 8 but now your program is designed to store that 8, perhaps to use it somewhere else. Again, this return signals your main program that is may continue now.

The return 0 from the main happens because your program is a sub-program of the operating system. Your entire program is technically just a function that your operating system executed and naturally whenever the operating system executes something it must wait for a response. The return 0 thing is pretty much arbitrary and if you put return -1 you will most likely see no error message. That said, -1 is a common error code programmers use so obviously this is bad design in an actual project. But this is all arbitrary, it is just that it was chosen decades ago. For all you want you can make your error code be "TITS"

>>9050907
When you create a value returning function like main or any other user-defined function, you promise to return a value. This is because, by definition, a value-returning function must return a value via the return statement. You don't actually have to return 0 for main, you could return 100 or 3848373, but some compilers take issue with this. The main purpose of the return statement is to tell the compiler the program is finished, but with value-returning user defined functions, it also allows us to break up a program into smaller pieces. By using return x; in a function, we can have the value returned be specifically determined at the time that function executes and be based on its parameters, etc.

If the car is going 60mph it can not, by definition, go 120mph.

He really wants to give you ritilen/ritalin? It is one of the worst things you can get in this situation. It has very negative side effects. I doubt he gave you a script for that.
