if this post gets 1024 upvotes, i will post again with twice as wide en passant

If this post gets 1024 upvotes I will shit my pants after eating a KFC 18 piece spicy bucket.

will you show video proof that you did that
- Do I have to?
after eating a KFC 18 piece spicy bucket.

Lmao, you’re gonna shit yourself regardless of upvotes
Upvoted just for you buddy
Do now
- I’m working on it, it takes a bit of preparation to get ready to eat 18 pieces of spicy KFC.
Bad day to be a KFC bucket or pants, let's fucking gooooo
Well this aged poorly
- Actually it's always been a dream of mine to have a bunch of internet randoms watch me shit.

The black pawn just minding his business and then outta nowhere

Boom. Headshot.

At this point, it's a Lemmy userbase metric.

Little-known fact: A 1024-wide en passant is properly called a kibienpassant.

Is a 4-wide a nibble passant?
- I want to nibble your passant

Why do I feel so committed to this?

big number good

number must go up

Ah, the infamous grain gambit.

fun fact : the angle is now around 3" 26' which is just slightly over ¹/₂₀ of a degree !

Does Lemmy even have enough active users for the next one?

No. The next one will be the last.
- Looking at the top post in this community, I do not believe in a next one
  
  Edit: I just realized where this comment is at and boy, who did this and how? Is this going viral? In this case, the sky is the limit
- 2048 is achievable imo

Oh Shit, here we go again.

See you on the front page
- Yea, Please do it lemmy

The image has like two pixels per square now

Just over 6 pixels/square

This cannot be a legal move

According to Wikipedia, en passant describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance.

According to dictionary.cambridge.org, adjancent means very near, next to, or touching

According to sync, the image is 0.02 MB.

Assuming lemmy.world stores images on floppy disks a diameter of 200mm that have a capacity of 80 kB, floppy disks store information on the entirety of their size, writing data from one side to the other and looping back to the other side when reaching the end of a row(i realized only after i did the math that floppy disks dont work like that) and i didnt make any mistakes in the math i am too lazy to explain in this reply, the distance between pieces is between 7 and 142 mm

142 mm, compared to the distance between stars, is a very short distance, meaning that, in this situation, the en passant is a legal move
- holy hell you did the math
- How can I find out more about this move?
- the en passant is a legal move
  
  Don't you even know the rules of chess? En passant is not just legal, it is forced.
It's only legal if you have enough boards
It might not be legal for you and me but it's for sure legal for the ruling class
It violates the principle of locality, and therefore the speed of light as the highest speed allowed in the universe.

Therefore, this truly does violate a law of nature, and is therefore illegal.
It is actually forced

This is getting out of hand.

We can still do it folks

I don't know how or why this is a thing, but I'm here for it & you've got a new subscriber!

Well, they added a double pawn move to speed up games, but it broke the game a bit and so they added en passant to balance it out. Don't worry, a lot of people who don't play chess regularly, forgets this rule

holy too thin to tap on!

I’m on my phone. I don’t even know what’s going on here.

Witnessing history

not particularly important history, just history. Like mildew in the shower, so are the days of our lives.

Last I saw (5 min ago) the 512 had 30 odd upvotes.

Guess that was comments and not upvotes. I need sleep...

Sleep is for the weak.

However, without sleep, you become sleepy, and sleepiness is weakness.

Therefore, sleep is for the sleepy.
- I love it

Tf is going on here

You ever hear an old story about rice on a chessboard?
- Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
- Well, but that's not it...

Hey-o purple man
Here is an older one for context. It's a little easier to see the image this way.

https://lemmy.today/post/11379716

Need 408 more upvotes

En passant par là, j'ai vu le pion noir se faire manger.

I need this in my life. I am not yet ready to give up. I grew accustomed to this. Let's make it happen! We're all tech people, we know we can just upvote this post the way it needs to be. Its not nice, noone likes to press the trigger on dying deer we just hit with our car, but someone has to do it. The suffering introduced is greater if the trigger is not pressed. Do the right thing.
