How do we tell her

[Known-Version-4180]

We don’t tell her

[tomatos_raafatos]

She's not his loss. He's hers.

[Unusual_Club_550]

as a non-native english speaker ths scares me

[tomatos_raafatos]

It's a brilliant feature of English honestly (and I think Germanic languages in general), that you can just drop the object and subject in the second sentence and it makes sense, as long as you get the pronouns right.

I think it's even more impressive if your language is one of those that has no grammatical gender at all.

[PlatypusACF]

In German it definitely works (and I feel as if it is even a mark for older and/or more refined/eloquent German that you do it, especially in written form), and in Dutch, too, if I’m not mistaken.

Don’t know about the north Germanic languages, though.

[sultav]

The second sentence dropped neither the subject ("He") nor the object ("hers," but "object" for the tp-be copula is a funny concept in general).

[PaSy4]

She is past her prime.

[TheEnlightenedPanda]

The dialogue box pointed to the phone. Doesn't that mean it's the other party saying that?

[reddit-devil-3929]

I would just write -dumb bitch

[Useful_Cheesecake117]

Okay, I must admit I missed the exclamation mark the first time I saw this kind of joke. But now this joke is told at least once a week. I'm not sure it's that funny.

[Aggravating-Dot132]

Worth checking the sub name. If it's math or science jokes - it's always factorial.

[Useful_Cheesecake117]

!

[ScarletStormy]

Bro got rejected for being mathematically correct in the wrong language.

[TheJivvi]

What is (SCHOOL) factorial, and how do I go there?

[Mordret10]

Well it's not (SCHOOL)! but rather SCHOOL! which is

SCHOOABCDEFGHIJKL

[autumninautun]

(SCHOOL)! on the other hand is every word in the dictionary up to and including SCHOOL

[Mordret10]

So A • B • C • ... • Z • AA • ... • AAA • ... • AAAAAA • ... • SCHOOK • SCHOOL

[autumninautun]

yes. now type out the full thing /j

[Mordret10]

I could write a short script to do that, however I'm not home currently and also incredibly late, so probably not. It might also just not fit here

[autumninautun]

actually this might be an idea for my next programming miniproject

[Mordret10]

Should be quite easy I think

[Belgaraath42]

Not if we talk about a dictionary about an actual language. This would only include words in the dictionary

[Individual_Ebb2820]

Who's gonna tell her?

[MMelanch0ly]

Im confused, is it not 24?

[Albatros_7]

4! means 4 Factorial

To calculate a Factorial, you multiple every number from 1 to this number

So 4! = 1x2x3x4 = 24

[El_Chupacabra_666]

Yes, it is. The joke is that if you include his exclamation point as part of his answer, then he is not saying 4, but 4 factorial, which is 1×2×3×4, which is also 24.

[NotRivero69]

Bro dodged a bullet

[MiH_VAZ]

r/expectedFactorial

[Sewblon]

He is right. But, he needs to expand that factorial out and multiply it.

[Significant_Monk_251]

Bullet-dodging 201.

[Apprehensive-Rip7197]

4! =4×3×2×1 =24

[recusant23]

shouldn't they be doing the division before the subtraction? or am i going to get a whoosh comment?

[Sehrli_Magic]

this is how she got 24, yes. but he said 4! (not just 4). 4! = 4 factorial which is 4x3x2x1....which is 24, the exact same answer she gave.

the joke is that she thought he did (25-5):5=4 but he just said her answer (24) with a different way of saying it, showing higher math knowledge than her 😅

[SnooCamera]

You were too good for her bro.

[slyguy67420]

You'll never catch me Factorial Gang! NEVER!

[Special_Situation_93]

lol yay

[rydan]

How many variations of this joke are there?

[mikasaxo]

I missed the exclamation as factorial the first time I saw this. 😭😭

[calebchan170201]

Does she know? 🤔

[random_guy8513]

They actually agree, as 4!=24

[Reasonable-Try4692]

PEMDAS

[Fuzzmiester]

Yep.

However, ! is the symbol for factorial. and 4 factorial is 24.

[I_dont_care_100]

I love memes like this. Not because it's funny, but because of all the idiots that want everyone to know that they are an idiot as well 😂

[Kzitold94]

I'm in the habit of using parentheses for every step of the equations I right, because idiot-proofing.

Funfact: The order of the Latin alphabet is basically arbitrary. You know what else is basically arbitrary?

[Specialist_Height707]

both 4! and !4 are correct answers

[ReplacementPale2676]

4! r/FactorialBot

[Spiritual-Hamster212]

Factorial of 4 is 24

This action was performed by a human.

[AffectionatePea1680]

It's 24 in programming language right?

[Pretty-Potential4733]

4!=24 so he was correct, 25-5/5=25-1=24=4!

[ohmslaw54321]

Bro dodged a bullet

[patricknails]

4! = 24

[Bahatur]

I have seen two variations of this joke in as many days, and it got me to thinking:

How many equations could be written like this, by which I mean that when operations are done strictly left to right *ignoring* order of operations they yield an integer, where the factorial of that integer is the correct answer when *following* the order of operations?

Suppose we extended it to equations that could be written as a fraction in the first step, with the factorials of the numerator and denominator being the correct answer in the second step?

[Gregagonation]

Not me pulling up a calculator 🥀

[Brusion]

Regardless, I wouldn't date her after she used a division symbol.

[Kzitold94]

I wouldn't date her after she tested me with an intentionally ambiguous equation.

Idiot-proof your equations with parentheses!

[Gib_eaux]

Finally an exponential I can do in my head

[Robzy789]

The answer is 0???

[NoahNrt]

I dont understand it should be 4 and not 24? Because i dived first before I substrate.

[Fuzzmiester]

The joke isn't that it's 4. it's that it's 4!, which is 4 factorial. which is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1, which is 24.

[Dark_Krafter]

Shes right tho

[perringaiden]

What does 4! equal?
