Those are the only times when it’s appropriate to insert a 3 1/2 inch floppy.

Margaret looks like a Kids Next Door character, but I can’t quite place who 🤔

She looks like Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog

Squorlple, to science_memes in Of course it was

Not to be confused with Sir Isaac Newton’s dog, forgotten villain

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_(dog)

SomeAmateur,

Huh I wonder if that’s connected to Diamond Dogs in Metal Gear Solid V

Squorlple,
@Squorlple@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not very familiar with the franchise, but I did find this:

“Aside from the aforementioned meanings behind the name “Diamond Dogs,” it is also a reference to the David Bowie album of the same name, whose work has previously been referenced in other games in the series.”

The Bowie album title and the album’s group of characters by the same name are often believed to have been inspired by Newton’s dog, so MGS V is at least indirectly influenced by it.

SomeAmateur,

Cool thanks!

What’s even worse is that when they use SI units they don’t even spell them right. They write meters whereas the rest of the world writes metres

ILikeBoobies,

They are one of the founding members of the Metre Convention

lnee,

spelling is hard why make it harder by spelling it “metres”

aquasteel,

To help distinguish metre, as in length, from a meter, as in volt-meter.

lnee,

Thats why we call it a volt-meter, or amp-meter or a parking-meter.

Nah, in Dutch it’s meter (plural: meters) too

I can’t believe this doesn’t have Tom Cruise.

Professorozone, to science_memes in Of course it was

Was having blood drawn and the phlebotomist, who was obviously Christian, was so happy to have found out that men actually had one less rib than women because, you know, Adam’s rib became Eve. I was not about to correct her as she had a needle in my arm at that moment.

usernamesaredifficul, to science_memes in A sobering thought!

that’s not even correlation

qaopjlll,

Agreed, the correlation between 2 random variables is undefined if one of the variables is actually a constant (the formula reduces to 0/0)

troglodytis, to science_memes in A sobering thought!

so does everyone else

And that, my friends, is the joke

    I’m not sure what’s going on in that thread.

    Also, I dislike the framing of stochastic parrots as an insult AND its application to people.

    Like wtf does that mean? It’s a joke pointing out that it sounds like a monty python insult, not a suggestion to adopt it as real language.

    Also being disapointed that Weinersmith isn’t a technopessemist is just an odd take.
