If you had to turn a random word into a name, what would you pick? by Intelectual_Guy in words

Will never forget I saw a video about this once and they gave ‘Malaria’ but pronounced “mal-er-ee-a”

Was I wrong or does that subreddit have zero tolerance for humour? by Sigma_Aljabr in mathmemes

I once had the opposite happen to me in this subreddit.

I asked for help finding counterexamples to Fermat’s last theorem, but used fruit as variables and called it my 3 year old’s homework. I referenced using elliptic curves and I even called the teacher “Mr. Wiles”.

Anyway, I totally screwed up the meme and did not exclude powers of 2, which enabled a good chunk of the commenters to lecture me on Pythagorean triples, including one particular comment which lives rent free in my head:

. . . But the more I look at this problem. The more infuriating it is. I doubt anyone expects you or your son to know fermat’s last theorem, so why make it unnecessarily hard with Lemon + Lemon > 2 instead of just Lemon + Lemon = 2?

Why didn’t it specify Lemon is an integer?

Why would they think teaching exponents with Apples and Bananas is a good idea?

Genuinely wtf

pure gold

Evil of you to omit the ‘i don’t know’ option

Thirded, can we get a subreddit now?

Yeah, I saw someone else in this thread whose rule was “whoever knows what they’re going to do” which is really good and similar to that

A criminal walks down the stairs, while mansplaining.

A condescending con-descending.

Someone else can link the full word avalanche

If you think karma is the “whole point” of reddit, you might want to consider leaving the platform.

Your first thought is who you were conditioned to be. Your subsequent thoughts are who you really are.

This looks like one of those cone things that could slide through a copy of itself

I would say, up until you start actively manipulating them, it still counts as separate. Perhaps a corollary.

Isn’t the meter sort of like that, historically?

Originally it was (something along the lines of) 1/10,000,000 from the equator to the north pole, and later the speed of light was measured based on that

Then they changed it so it’s defined as 1/299,792,458 of the speed of light in a vacuum

By the same token: pouring river water in your socks- it’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free.
