enteropy

enteropy is when
people can't
seem to type
for very
long
without pressing
the enter
key.

it is
a leading cause of
signal to noise
loss
in online
chat sessions
second only to
ASL???!!
CTC?!?!?!
and
PRESS 6969 TO CHAT!!1

<Friend> hey man
<Friend> like
<Friend> i was wondering
<Friend> if you can help
<Friend> see
<Friend> i got this problem
<Friend> i cant seem
<Friend> to stop pressing
<Friend> enter
<Friend> help me
<Friend> please!
<You> DUDE! Would you lay off the enteropy?!
Think about what you're going to say before you press enter! :F

Spank the entropy 

( abbrev. STE) Derivatives: Spank it; spank it hard (abbrev. SIH)

1. put in order and reduce chaos.
2. an expression of encouragement, a rally of support to handle a challenge.
3. get a grip on unruly matter and energy; overcome obstacles.
4. exerting personal will to prevent or stop deterioration of an object or situation.
5. a call to defeat the doctrine of inevitable decline and degeneration.
6. slapping the tendency of all matter and energy in the universe to decay to a state of inert uniformity.
7. looking the Second Law of Thermodynamics in the eye.

"Spank the entropy!"

"That sucks but I know you can spank it."

"I gotta spank my room it's a mess."

"He spanked the financial insolvency situation."

"Get a grip, spank it man, spank it hard."

"I'm off to spank some entropy."

A: "What an f-in mess."
B: "Well ... spank it."

entropy 

In its simplest sense, the tendency for all things to go from order towards disorder. It is like the one way sign for energy flows in this Universe.

The best example is a hot cup of coffee. You walk into a coffee shop and check your pockets that yes, you do indeed have some coin of the realm that you spent time and energy to acquire somewhere else. This coin is therefore concentrated time and energy or effort. You then walk up to the counter and order (key word here) a hot cup of coffee. The Barrista, who has an understanding of what you want, then reaches for a cup that someone spent time and effort making, and someone made an effort to clean. He then pours in this fluid that contains pure (hopefully) water that has been heated (we pay the power company for the heat) and poured over these magic beans that came from far away, with many people involved with ships and trucks burning fuel so that these beans could arrive here. This cup of coffee is indeed a highly ordered structure in the Universe. But today, instead of drinking it, we are going to perform an experiment. If we let the cup of coffee sit on the table long enough, say 30 minutes, what happens? It gets cold. The heat energy that we paid for is no longer concentrated in the cup. It still exists, but in the room not in the cup. This is a gain in entropy. If we let the cup of coffee sit there long enough, say 4 days, we notice that some of the water that we paid for has evaporated. It still exists as water vapor in the room (probably attacking the wallpaper) but not in the cup. This too, is a gain in entropy. By this time the Barrista will probably come along to kick us out, after all we've been here 4 days and haven't actually drank any coffee. If he does kick us out then he will have to clean the cup, spending time and energy and hot water, to bring the cup back up to a useful higher energy state, ready for the next customer. This would be an example of negative entropy. But he had to spend more energy elsewhere to accomplish this.
But let's say he doesn't kick us out. If we are still sitting here watching the cup in about 30 years when the building falls over, breaking the cup, then this too is a gain in entropy.
I am one of the few people on the planet to tell you that negative entropy = life (localized), in thermodynamics this would appear in an equation as -Δs (pronounced minus delta s).

Domestic Entropy 

The tendency of a household to became increasingly disorganized, untidy, and unmanagable.

Characteristics:
Rather than compress into small spaces, items tend to redistribute to evenly fill all available space (the Stuffed Animal Effect). Rather than organize into separate, homogeneous, classifiable and finite collections, items tend to mix into heterogenous open sets (the Junk Drawer Effect). Even if they are not used, without intervention items and surfaces inevitably get dirtier and not cleaner (the Crunchy Towel Effect). Partially enclosed items left unobserved for an extended period will, when retrieved for use, contain one or more dead bugs (the Cuisinart Effect). Attempts to organize specific areas will always result in some other area becoming less organized (the Spare Linen Effect).

The tendency of the household toward randomness is a feedback cycle. Disorganization leads to perceived attrition which leads to aquisition of additional items, which in turn increase the Domestic Entropy of the household (the Nine Rolls of Sticky Tape Effect).

I'm in a constant battle against domestic entropy; if I miss my chores one night before bedtime, by the next morning the house is so messy it would be easier to burn it down and build anew than to get it clean again.

Slipping Into Entropy

A Batman/Joker Slash Fanfiction on livejournal by the authors Razothredfire and Loonylucifer. It is possibly the most incredible and amazing Joker/Batman fanfic out there. It is long but that just makes it better.

roomie 1: What is she doing on the computer? She has this big goofy grin plastered on her face.

roomie 2: Shes reading Slipping Into Entropy.

roomie 1: oh, the Batman/Joker fanfiction? *rolls eyes* fangirls...

Girl: *squee!* this is an amazing read so shut up!

Inevitable Internet Entropy Theory 

The theory that given time everything on the Internet will devolve into poor quality content designed to drive advertisement revenue through clickbait, stolen, and/or inflammatory content.

To see evidence of the Inevitable Internet Entropy theory one need look no further than once-lauded sites as The Huffington Post, Slate, and Time.

Entropy 

Physics aside, the inevitable and steady deterioration of any system or society.

The world's entropy will be certain if global health care, poverty and crime are not dealt with.
