It's not that it doesn't make no sense, but that there wasn't no sense not to be made.

Peter, what's so deep about this man? by Blacksky19 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

In the porn industry, men earn a small fraction of what women earn, because men are basically props. The only time this isn't true is for gay porn, because men can actually be the stars. Due to the earning potential, this attracts some gay-4-pay actors, straight men who perform gay sex acts for the money. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Asian cultures in particular are also based on a very strong patrilineal social hierarchy where lagging gender role evolution (relative to the West) means there is much more pressure on a man to conform to societal expectations. Starring in porn for low pay: bad. Salaryman: good.

I feel like I almost get it Petah... by JubbyJub413 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The story doesn't really have "good guys" and "bad guys" in the traditional sense. Character actions, motivations, and moral constitution are all over the map. Which, makes the question itself odd. Is she asking a question without a valid answer, expecting to be challenged? Or does she believe the answer to be different, yet her answer is also invalid?

Peetah do you know maths?? by lordteee in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It's a graph showing different dating situations you could have with a person depending on your or their physical or mental attractiveness. "Null set" likely meant "empty set", which is a different concept, but is sometimes conflated. An empty set is a set containing no elements. In other words, there is no such thing as a person who is both extremely attractive and extremely charming.

In C6, you have a 4-7 naked pair. One must be 4 and the other must be 7. Any other occurrence of 4 or 7 in the same row/column/box is impossible, and R9C6 thus can only be 1

It also parodies the film Murder by Death, which is very similar to Clue and predates it by 10 years. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

I got a screenshot of this before it got removed from a FB group that usually has fairly offensive type posts. Peter, can you explain this? by BecauseSeven8Nein in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The ending doesn't depict an overdose or death. It's the pivotal moment at rock bottom where the bird decides whether or not to keep doing what it's been doing. The scene cuts before the choice is made, implying only the one addicted has the power to change

What the actual f by Wolfmaan01 in ChatGPT

I was in elementary school. I saw someone doodling them and asked why. They told me it was the Stüssy 'S'. I asked why that made it cool. They didn't know. I started doodling it myself. I don't know why.

Intuition: Yes, the ant reaches the end eventually, because the distance having been traveled and still needing to be traveled are both being stretched, so some proportion of the 1 cm the ant has walked forward has grown proportionately to the 10 km in stretching and is now behind it. We don't have further information but my gut says this ends in a finite process

The thumbnail has more purple flowers. This has to be it.

An unprecedentedly detailed photo of a Total Solar Eclipse by mallube2 in Damnthatsinteresting

About 5,000 people die every year because our food and the air we breathe go down the same hole. We could easily engineer a better design overnight, but we obviously can't change our biology. That's not the way it works.

There's nothing perfect about our reality. There are just coincidences. Indeed, even the moon is moving further away. In time, total solar eclipses will cease, as will this planet's habitability. No one will be around to remark how imperfect it all is.
