Idk why anyone would ever create a bare Object without subclassing it
For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had "null" as the receiver in the system.
Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system ...
I would be terrified to open that box
I would be terrified not to open that box too.
i wouldn't risk getting sucked into a null hole
C'mon, we all end up at /dev/null eventually. Just don't gaze long into it or it might gaze into you.
Yeah, the moment you look at it you may experience a null pointer exception
you’re worried about nothing
DON'T OPEN THE BOX WHEN IT ARRIVES this is a keter class object, also don't move we're sending someone to help you
SCP Agent: What's in the box?
SCP Scientist: Nothing
SCP Agent: So, what's the big deal? Just open it. Or toss it out. I almost tripped on it and spilled my coffee...
SCP Scientist: You don't understand. Our measurements show that there's nothing in the box. It contains, or rather doesn't contain, a complete absence of space, time, and matter. It's a hole in the universe that is inexplicably cordoned off from the air in this room, and everything else in it, by a flimsy cardboard shell.
SCP Agent: ...
SCP Agent: Is that bad?
SCP Scientist: Very.
“Soundwave… what is in the box?”
“Hatsune Miku. Hatsune Miku is in the box.”
“What is a Hatsune Miku?”
If it can be sent by mail it is probably not a Keter class object. Object class does not imply danger level
Tho if it randomly appears in mail it maybe is
I used to work at a DVD store, and sometimes we'd get a huge box with a single DVD at the bottom, and a ton of those plastic bags full of air to cushion it. When one of those packages arrived, I'd loudly announce, "Thank god! Our air arrived!" Then I'd tear it open and we'd all gasp like we'd been holding our breaths waiting for it.
I hope you post an unboxing video. It could be exceptional…
Your package is set to arrive between the hours of 0 and -2,147,483,647.
"Customers who bought this also bought: VOID"
Pack a bag, we need to be far away from here in the next 3 to 4 business days.... don't ask why just pack!

Celebrate by ordering some none pizza with left beef.

Perfect, please put it at the end of my bank account!
There's some decent money to be made in null shipping. For one thing, fuel costs are very low.
Not very functional
Fuckin' love null
Radiolab has an interesting episode about people having to deal with being considered "Null": https://radiolab.org/podcast/null
It won't arrive, lets see,... tomorrow. Good! Just around the time I won't be expecting it.
at least it wasn't my NaN. poor birds been dead for years.
So when the package arrives, how many pieces of faulty software needing to point at it will it be encircled by?
My nullo?
You can order whatever kind of callperson you want, we won't judge.
Congrats! Enjoy your null 🙂
This is nothing to worry about
