    #moustache {
      position: absolute;
      bottom: 10px;
      margin: 0 auto;
    }
    

    If that doesn’t work:

    #moustache {
      position: absolute;
      bottom: 10px;
      left: 50%;
      transform: translateX(-50%);
    }
    

    Relative positioning is preferred but not always available if the parent face is positioned absolutely.

    Edit: adjusted bottom from 0 -> 10px since 0 would be at the bottom of the chin but there is obviously some padding to bring it nearer the lip


  • If you use your eyes, nothing happens. Most people think “observe” means they can just look at the experiment and expect it to change. That’s why so many people end up in metaphysics thinking their own perception has any impact on the outcomes of physical states. In reality, it makes no difference.

    The word “observed” has largely been conflated with human perception in the layperson’s understanding of quantum mechanics. When they were first experimenting with the dual slit experiment, they were simply trying to make measurements to predict where an electron might end up after entering one of the two slits. However they soon discovered that their measurements changed the behavior of the electron. That behavior has been denoted as an observation however observation is very vague.

    It’s better to say “a measurement which causes a wave-function collapse” rather than an observation. When phrased that way, it feels a lot more explicit and it allows lay people like myself to ask the next question “what causes a wave function to collapse?”

    Source: I just asked my physics PhD wife about this a couple nights ago and she did her best to explain it to me.

    If anyone can explain what exactly causes the wave function to collapse, id appreciate it. Because I can’t understand anything I read online.

    Also this meme checks out. A person could observe their CPU with the right conditions and instruments to cause a wave function collapse. But I believe a Qbit can reset its state no?
