I'm sure I recall a simple device from Popular Mechanics or Popular Science that was a Maxwell's Demon demonstrator. Pressurized air entered the center of a T shaped tube. The tube was tapered, and warmer air exited one end, while cooler air exited the other. How MUCH warmer or cooler was not clear.

I thought Buffy slayed that particular demon ages ago?

That's cat hell, right?

A devil after my own heart

Clever. Love it

One doesn't know if the torture behind the door will be lighter or worse. This adds a strong psychological torment to the torture. Btw, still proud that I did the Maxwell's demon thought experiment myself in high school.

unexpected parable 🥰

I had a google adventure from this lol

What is this, Rollercoaster Tycoon?

I mean, crowd crush is a pretty nasty punishment.

Hi TvTropes guy- I mean uhhh xkcd uhmmm RANDALL!!!!!!!!!

Imagine them going to watch a movie with laplace's demon... it sucks cause they already know what's comming.

Maxwell designed SMT dungeons

You're welcome. Understanding such nerdy jokes is the only benefit that I have from my thermodynamics lectures 😅

(Or in another version, let's them only enter one chamber, but never the other, which will also increase the temperature in the more and more crowded chamber. Truely devilish👹)

The last idea is the hellishiest of the three.

Entropy is other people

How clever do you have to be to take a peek through the door before deciding whether or not to pass through?😂

Good to see you here, Randall. I caught you once at CNU where you spoke of kites and ball pits (& someone had a sign that said "if this were Conway's GoL, we'd be dead next turn). It's always a pleasure

Laplaces demon as well

Hi, I’m Husam from Gaza 🇵🇸. I recently lost my job and home in Gaza. My little sister, Ansam (10), is battling malnutrition and urgently needs treatment. Could you please help by sharing or donating? Your support means everything. Thank you! 🙏🥹 gofund.me/41f9548c

I'm gonna need an explainexplainxkcd.com for this one...

How about the door have an exit sign and it just loops you back into the same room?

ODEN WOULDN'T BE ODEN...

Diabolical.

Monika would probably get a kick out of this LOL

wait I'm confused how that would even work?

He found his niche doing floor plans for IKEA.

Gotta mix up the torture to keep it fresh

🎢

Took me 19 years to discover these webcomics exist.

:)

Your style reminds me of the diary of a whimpy kid. Though a bit different ig?

For anyone else like me coming to the comments to try to figure out the joke. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell...

🤔What if we put the souls in a very dimly lit tunnel, but the tunnel is actually a loop and the light source are LEDs that simulate a light at the end of the tunnel, but they'll never reach the end.

I guess Hell is just other demons. 😁

I get the feeling this guy used to work for IKEA

And a Linux Demon would always make sure the printer queue is down...

the third one why didnt i say it first, dumb me...

would do the same

He also did some pretty good work with Sartre characters.
