You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.
Fun fact: if you do that 42 times, the piece of paper will be so thick it will reach the moon
I love this fact so much, because it always blows your mind.
1mm * 2^42 = 4’398’046.511104 km
Distance to moon: 405’500km
I’m sorry I ever doubted you. I shall immediately undo my downvote.
Huh, I’ve always thought that a black hole required a lot of mass, not just a lot of density. Apparently not true?
Help, halfway through folding my paper turned into nitrogen!
Keep folding until you hit Fe or Ni.
