Again, you're splitting hairs. If you're using the computer in one way or another, you're on the computer.
You're jumping with dirt in your hand. It's still separating one point in time from another.
For this one you're separating two different places.

Since it is obviously not sinking in, the original point of it was to show that at that point in time and at that specific place, it cannot be both raining and not raining. Or you cannot be both on the Earth and off of it.
Therefore, there are things which are impossible. Contradictions are impossible.
-A round square.
-A cat that is alive and dead (I'm pointing this out so somebody can go "but but Schrodinger cat! It doesn't work like that.)
I could go on, but if this doesn't make the point, nothing will.
Since imagination doesn't own boundaries, I think not. ;) It may be physically impossible but that doesn't mean its impossible mentally.
If its drizzling (sprinkling) obviously its not raining hard enough to be considered rain, yet its also not unnoticeable enough to not be getting you wet. In our minds, this is comprehended as being possible because we can obviously see its raining. But mentally we know its only sprinkling, which is not considered as rain.
not raining hard enough to be considered rain
ok hows this ahhh if you make mud or clay shoes and wear them in the air you would be on earth and yet not on earth during the point at time in witch you are in the air possible and yet plossible
"Nothing is impossible"
I'd like to formally disagree. Several things are impossible just because of wording. It is impossible for it to be both raining and not raining at the same time. (This, of course, assumes you leave it at that and do not tack on details such as "It is raining here, it is not raining over there.")
An example that is unarguably impossible would be: "I am both on Earth, and not on Earth." or "I am both using the computer, and not using the computer."

Imagination or not, there are obviously boundaries, the square circle or round square being one of them. If it's round it isn't a square, if it's square it isn't a circle. No amount of imagination can say that's wrong.
*sigh* That obviously still isn't rain, because, well...
Also, you haven't tried to refute the round square impossibility. I'm surprised ;)

Very similar to the "holding a handful of dirt. The shoes are not the Earth, not sure how the correlation was put together.
My theory on jumping and still being on earth is sound ;) your not physically on earth yet still in earths atmosphere making it so your still on earth.
well the shoes are made of earth and you are on it since its on your feet and you are over it. there for you are in the air you are ON earth but not on earth there for makeing it possible to be on and off at the same time ......you said on earth and off earth ....not on the earth and off the earth and since the sheos are made from earth its plossible
Pixels. Pixels are squares, yet when put together right they make a circle out of tint squares. ;) Buy yes, there is such a thing as a round square.
