Hyperwave Hypothesis

A speculative hypothesis proposing the existence of hyperwaves—faster‑than‑light (FTL) waves that travel through higher‑dimensional spacetime (hyperspace) and could enable FTL communication and travel without violating causality. Hyperwaves would be generated by any mass moving through spacetime, existing since the Big Bang. They form the basis for advanced technologies in some science fiction and fringe physics, offering a way around lightspeed limits while preserving causal order.
Hyperwave Hypothesis Example: “In the novel, the alien civilisation used hyperwaves to send messages across galaxies instantly. The physicist character explained: ‘Hyperwaves don’t break causality because they move through extra dimensions.’”

Relativistic Hyperwave Hypothesis

A speculative hypothesis proposing the existence of relativistic hyperwaves—also called spacetime hyperwaves—which are faster-than-light (FTL) waves that preserve causality by operating outside the usual relativistic constraints. According to the hypothesis, these hyperwaves have existed since the Big Bang and are continually generated by any movement within spacetime. They would enable FTL travel and communication without creating paradoxes (like the grandfather paradox) because they embed causal loops into a higher‑dimensional framework. The hypothesis also opens the door to relativistic computing, where information processing occurs across spacetime rather than within a single frame. While purely theoretical, it provides a rigorous basis for discussing warp drives, time teleportation, and other phenomena usually relegated to science fiction.
Relativistic Hyperwave Hypothesis Example: “The sci‑fi novel’s hyperdrive didn’t break causality; it used relativistic hyperwaves that had been rippling through spacetime since the Big Bang. The protagonist’s FTL jump was just riding an existing wave.”
n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.

A small piece of information. Derived from the word ken, used often in the scottish language and is synonymous with knowledge.
Person 1: "Hey I don't get this shit. How do you solve this problem?"
Person 2: "I got that one. Give me some kenlets on this assignment and I'll help you w/ that one."

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
