My new dishwasher is the dishwasher of Theseus. (ETA: new as in "new to me." Not new from the store.)

I'm not even kidding.

The lock was busted. So they replaced the lock.

Now the drain pump is burned out. So they are going to replace it.

They are also going to replace the control board while they are at it.

So will this dishwasher be the same dishwasher as when I got the apartment, or will it be different?

A philosophical question for the ages.

@SnowyCA it's all about the continuity! I'm theoretically drinking a refreshing multi-years-old tea, gaining the wisdom of the ancients.

This seems like a very Mastodon question.

What was the Ship of Theseus actually called?

I ask, because I'm now very close to having replaced every component on one of my bikes, and I need to know what to rename it to.

Going to throw it in as a potential #bikeNitePQ - What's your bike called?

Es sind auch noch ein paar Originalteile an Theseus Fahrrad. #ShipOfTheseus

Wenn man schon über Identität diskutieren will, dann doch über die Frage, ob dieses Rad noch das ist, das ich im Februar 2013 neu gekauft habe, oder längst ein anderes. 🤔

So you can't do art restoration for animatronics? Is there some #ShipOfTheseus reason? Will the spirit of the art become lost?


If you accept the art you accept the responsibility.

Idea: Mechanics/Performance artists gradually swapping out parts of a car over years until it is a different car, or possibly the same car

And it has 10 new screens, 5 new circuit boards and 3 new cases BUT it is still the same Television.

Have my Macbook Pro back... it is now recovered from its Apple and Mango juice issue that afflicted the keyboard. However it seems that every part has been replaced apart from the lid. It is my laptop #triggersbroom #shipoftheseus
