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 41 points 9 months ago

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

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

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

[-] jagungal@lemmy.world 57 points 9 months ago

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 9 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 52 points 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

I just sit on large boulders.

What is this chair technology?

[-] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 8 points 9 months ago

Gonna have to be binoculars too

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

Or a curved mirror for built-in zoom!

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 36 points 9 months ago

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

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 21 points 9 months ago

The only remedy is attending mass more often.

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 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 30 points 9 months ago

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

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Have you thought about moving your TV, OP?

[-] odium@programming.dev 13 points 9 months ago
[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 8 points 9 months ago

OP doesn't want to toil like a peasant

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 19 points 9 months ago

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

[-] allywilson@sopuli.xyz 23 points 9 months ago

The upside is you will age slower than the population.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

You are so wise

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 5 points 9 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 9 months ago

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

[-] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

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

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

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Couch is strictly for casting purposes only.

[-] Sheltr@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

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

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

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

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

There way is simpler

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

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

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

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