>>11468777
not that poster but the things that let a Mobius strip do what it does are 1. being joined at either end (or just having no ends) but also 2. having a half twist in the middle
how would you represent that in terms of plot? how would you represent it if you don't lean on the word "twist" as an unexpected development (and even then what would "half a twist" be)?

I love the Bible and all but you know that’s deliberately put in as aesthetic a way as possible? If you look at it more closely, it’s basically saying, “A lot of verses in the Bible refer to other verses.” I could make an equally aesthetic graph based on times of the day my mom tells me to get a job.
