I do believe this takes the cake from Doppler Effect as my all time favorite. Jjj (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
I tried my best to add a little bit of an explanation, it’s probably not very good and it’s certainly missing some stuff, but at least there’s something now.IllegallyNamed (talk) 03:01, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
even the hat changes. I guess its part of him Student Driver (talk) 03:22, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
- Maybe he's been applying the medication to his hat, for reasons best known to him. 82.13.184.33 08:01, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
I've added a (probably massively incorrect) detail on "The chirp". Someone with better understanding of black holes will probably need to amend it! 161.65.236.209 05:46, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
His beret expands and shrinks because it's stapled to his head -- his head underneath it is expanding and shrinking, dragging the top of the beret with it. 142.134.94.223 16:23, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
Would Beret Guy be experiencing discomfort from these distortions of spacetime? If it was caused by something like the tidal forces at differing distances from a nearby neutron star or black hole, large enough to cause that much stretching, I'd expect it to be very harmful.

Gravity waves are generated whenever any mass accelerates. It's just that the energy involved is so enormously small (if you don't mind a seeming oxymoron). When I stand up from this chair, it will generate gravity waves, but the energy involved will be so low that even in principle, no conceivable instrument would detect them.

I think the conclusion about the beret changing size is because he put the sunscreen on the hat, allowing it to experience the side effect along with him. --Spencer198.54.129.215 20:52, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
