The most advanced category: devices that achieve long-duration motion by operating within complex dynamic systems—harnessing planetary orbits, gravitational fields, or cosmic dynamics to sustain motion over astronomical timescales. Unlike earlier kinds that fight dissipation locally, LDMM5 work with systemic energies—riding gravitational waves, exploiting orbital resonance, or tapping into cosmic background energy in ways that don't violate thermodynamics because they're part of larger systems. A spacecraft using gravitational assists to maintain trajectory for billions of years. A satellite that harnesses solar wind to counteract orbital decay. LDMM5 are the ultimate expression of working with the universe rather than against it—motion sustained by the dynamics of the cosmos itself, not just isolated engineering.
Long-Duration Motion Machines of the Fifth Kind (LDMM5) "Those Pioneer probes are still going after 50 years, but they'll eventually slow. LDMM5 would be something that uses gravitational fields to keep moving indefinitely—not perpetual motion, just motion sustained by cosmic dynamics. It's not a closed system; it's an open one, sipping energy from the universe's motion. LDMM5 is what happens when engineers stop fighting the cosmos and start surfing it."

On December 17th, you have to be kind to the server owner of a small server/friend server on any kind of social platform (ex. Discord)
Person 1: Hey dude, have you heard of tomorrow?
Person 2: Yea, its Be kind to the owner day.

The day where you tell someone that is broken something kind<3
Jeremy: Hey Gerald you look very nice today.

Gerald: How kind of you but why are you telling me this?

Jeremy: It’s November 27th national tell all the broken people something kind day
