deus, in Think of the animals!!

Shut up Walter, let us have jaguars, llamas, maned wolves and coatis!

Even_Adder,

We lost the terror birds for this.

Bananable, in Can't catch me, coppers!!

You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

leftzero, in Why??

Does no one remember what happened to Númenor…!?

CluckN, in Why??

Holds up a piece of paper

A wormhole

grabs a pencil

Works like this

folds paper

shoves pencil up my ass

Decoy321, (edited ) in Why??

I’ve always enjoyed this explanation.

Just a heads up,this one’s safe, but most of the Oglaf comics are NSFW.

Jackcooper, in You people are everywhere I stg

Now this is shitposting

spinylizard, in 95% sure this is accurate

Haha as a statistician that’s why we want to keep measuring the same thing over time. I appreciate ur confidence interval

HiddenLayer5, in Can't catch me, coppers!!

Or, you know, at least clean it first.

Bishma, in Who is he talking to crying???
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The benefit to all the research papers I read skimmed in college is that it made all the technical whitepapers I now need to read summarize with GPT a lot less painful in comparison.

mrbn, in Why??

I would think it was pretty obvious… THEY’RE JERKS.

But what can you expect from a species that’s always looking down on others?

Thank you, i will see myself out.

Complex numbers are as real as the Real numbers.

@ziggurism@lemmy.world avatar

complex numbers are just numbers in a plane instead of a line. saying you don’t believe in i is like saying you don’t believe in “up”

For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. “Ah yes, let’s just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers.” They have played us for absolute fools.

Gutek8134,

Their subset, irrational numbers, is somehow worse

funnystuff97,

“there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo’s Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??

cpw,

The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?

@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s it, I’m Amish now. I use inches and fractions of inches, and that’s as far as my numbers need to take me

ThePyroPython,

No that just makes you an American Mechanical Engineer.

lugal,

Big math is laughing at us right now

nodsocket,

I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a joke

Not only that, but their existence is implied wven when working just with real numbers!

joneskind,

The fact that you can’t solve any real life electro-magnetism problem without them kinda put an end to that complex shaming nonsense.

Yet there are still people to miss the absolute poetry of their story.

In 1545, an Italian genius called Gerolamo Cardano was pissed he couldn’t solve square root of negative number.

« Fine! I’ll make it myself » he said, before sending everyone to hell.

He then invented an imaginary number i whose square would be -1.

It wasn’t until centuries later that another famous genius named Leonhard Euler found a practical use of those numbers.

Without those numbers we would still be living like 1800´s peons.

In 1545, an Italian genius called Gerolamo Cardano was pissed he couldn’t solve square root of negative number.

Iirc, it was while trying to solve cubic polynomials, that he found out that accepting the existence of sqrt(-1) let him solve them.

Way ahead of you. 😅

EmoBean, in Imaginary friends.

I’m irrational because I’m a πces.

Can I pi you a drink?
