Schrödinger's thermos
This steel thermos was once owned by the renowned theoretical bartender Marvin Schrödinger, who illustrated the problems of quantum alcoholism by training his cat to knock random drink ingredients into a thermos while he wasn't looking. The result is a situation wherein you can't determine what you're about to drink until you've already drunk it, thus collapsing the probability waveform of the cocktail into a single discrete eigenstate.
Type: booze (quality unspecified)
Potency: UNSPECIFIED
Cannot be discarded
(In-game plural: Schrödinger's thermoses)
Obtained From
- Stores
- The Traveling Trader (5 twinkly wads)
When Consumed
- Gain stats, adventures, drunkenness, and effects (if any) from a random drink in the game.
- The consumption message is given from the associated item's consumed text.
- The random drink is added to your consumption history; the Schrödinger's thermos is not.
Notes
- The premise of this item refers to Schrödinger's Cat, a hypothetical quantum physics problem with macroscopic results set inside a sealed box. At the end of the time period, the odds for the cat in the box to be alive or dead are exactly equal, and the cat is therefore simultaneously alive and dead. The state of the cat inside the box is only resolved when it is opened (the box, not the cat), just as you can't know what's in the thermos until you drink it.
