It is roughly three feet away from me.

Complications: if I scoot or stand in most of the ways that I can conceive of accessing it, this hastens the heat death of the universe by increasing my metabolic rate and consumption of energy, I think.

As a negative utilitarian, I feel my best moral decision in this moment is to go back to sleep. However, the television is off and I cannot sleep without a twelve hour video on banned Yugi-oh cards. (Pot of Greed assuages my concerns about thermodynamics some, I think.)

How do I turn my tv on?

    But what about relativistic effects? Getting off my ass is altering the passage of my time, at least somewhat.

    I did manage to get up to get an energy drink; it doesn’t seem to be providing me any ability to do work though.

      Spike it with amphetamines, work and then realize that suddenly three days have passed, you forgot to eat and the universe is a little bit closer to said entropy.
