[@mm-yt8sf]

a third party jumping on the bed to avoid being blamed for thrusting actually sounds similar to the workaround for not putting out a fire on shabbat but opening a door to allow the wind to put it out. or a flipping a switch (which is seen as starting a fire when turning it on) can be activated by blocking a beam of light that has a sensor and will make the switch turn on. i had a friend who said instead of clearing out their home of things that shouldn't be there during some special time, he will symbolically sell everything to a non-jew for a penny and buy it back for a penny. and i've wondered if the god who's rules are being loopholed is omniscient wouldn't it not work anymore? or are even the gods subservient to the letter of their laws? cosmic bureaucracy is the true master of the universe

[@elisabethbauman6190]

As a Jew who learns about these wild workarounds intermittently, I’m just like, WTF?

[@saiyaddanapudi9216]

The thing is, if God is omniscient, the loophole would only be there if he allowed it to be there, because if he didn’t want it to be there, he would have known about it and closed it. Since he didn’t close it, it’s intentional and can be used. No trickery involved.

[@Atreeperday]

​@@saiyaddanapudi9216no, just because he never specified that leaving a loaded crossbow somebody else loaded pointed at a door then letting a different person trigger a Rube Goldberg machine that tips some treats onto a pressure plate that pulls a string which releases the crossbow bolt when the target is in the doorway, doesn't mean it's not murder.

[@reuvencooper8170]

No one who actually keeps Judaism would allow you to do those things though. Except for the selling one, Jews sell their bread during passover when they are only allowed to have unleavened bread in their homes, but that only applies if the bread belongs to them. However, any religious Jew isn't doing the sale symbolically.
