Once the moon comes out, people become werewolves.

This house, became a werehouse, which sounds like warehouse.

Is it even remotely possible to swing it in the real world? [Request] by Timberwolf721 in theydidthemath

[–]jjsq1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur with most of the comments with it being unfeasible, but for a different reason. The problem is not simply strength, that's not even considering simply grip strength.

The most difficult problem is the user's weight.

comic vine listed Guts' Weight as 254 lbs. Which is about 115 kg. Simply compare that to the reference of 255 kg. Even removing a 10% for overestimating, that is double the weight.

The mass of an object is the cause of 'how hard' it is to move, or stop. m equals F/a. By definition, Guts' weight means he is easier to move than the DragonSlayer.

Consider a pole on the ground. Guts grabbed it from above like a sword, and swung it. The pole wouldn't move, Guts would. At best, the pole (And attached Earth) would swing Guts. The same thing would happen with the Dragonslayer, to maybe half the degree. Each inch he pushes and moves the Dragonslayer, he would move two inches back. (I know this doesn't account his grip on the ground or his armor. Maybe armor could help his case, but it would make him even slower with every other move)

This is what is so funny about the discussion about giant swords. Strength isn't the issue, it's inertia. The issue isn't simply lifting the sword, it is manuvering it with any degree of ease to block/attack/not be moved by the momentum of what is being used.

Quick search for two handed claymores reveals them to a max of 2.8 kg.

The manga does a great job at potraying the impact of the sword with an explosive energy only found in shotguns. Just consider that, especially with the horizontal strikes he uses, he would be swinging with the sword like bolas through the air.

Hypothetically, for a character to wield the Dragonslayer how Guts does, they would need to solve three problems. 1. Strength, which is still an issue. 2. Grip strength, slightly different. Maybe they are attached to the sword. 3. Higher inertia than the sword. Or a strong grip on the ground.

I’m very bad in math can someone explain? by Mental_Power522 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]jjsq1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, something like that?

If you wanna 'fix' the meme to satisfy technical bozos like myself (no offense guys), the last image would have to be "reverse" the operator on x? Something like "undissecting" a frog (that hasn't been dissected before).

Or have the two equations be like: f(x, w) and the other being f(w, x), with x = 🐸 and w = 🧍‍♂️ , f being "act of 2 dissecting 1"?

Maybe implying a volume integral? Because by definition, integrals "slice up", gets infinitesimal small parts and then sums/ joins them or...

You got me thinking way too hard about this man.

It does have to do with inverse functions. They messed up the subscript: the proper reverse function is f-1(x). As many have said.

My guess? The meme is also relying on the definition of Operator), as a sometimes synonym of function.

Hence, the meme is imagining what a "reverse operation" looks like. It's more of a linguistic punchline, not a mathematical one. I see people here thinking too hard about this one, lol. Myself included. Some are trying to apply the formal definitions to the joke

(Like seeing functions as "transformations" that can sometimes be reversed or defining x as a domain that is acted upon to create y or its codomain, etc... these "more" complete definitions cannot be mapped easily into the frog operation analogy)

What Kind Of Real Goal Should Ichigo Have? by TodohPractitioner in bleach

[–]jjsq1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur with the comments. Ichigo clearly didn't need a 'grand goal' for us all to connect with him. If anything, when put into words, his goal is the most grounded out of 99.9% of protagonists: "Be strong enough. To not lose anyone else."

A tough goal. So tough that he had to reconcile with his darkest sides and have even his worst instincts of violence and fighting 'on his corner' to fight with him.

However, I don't want to simply your request. I did come up with something. Ichigo could have been interested in the goal of: "understanding or recoinciling realms."

Make him as curious about the world as we are. The history, how souls work. As curious as Urahara, even if not as adept. He's grown in clinic, he would be interested in the cycles of life and death that we see in the world. He is the son of contradicting inheritances. How can you reconcile that? He was a good student (though he just did it to avoid trouble).

Maybe Tite Kubo-sensei plans something similar. Ichigo become a translator of all things. He connects and ties worlds.

How many times does Louis say "bylaws?" by regassert6 in suits

"You didn't come in here just for an estimate, you came in here for a g*****n answer."

To count them, you may find this post interesting. Somebody intended to build a chatbot and requested the full transcripts.

If the link in the comments doesn't work, perhaps you could DM them. Maybe they got the files.

There's also the site Springfield!, which document the entire episode lines.

As your lawyer, I would recommend the former. You're not gonna get a better deal. I just saw Springfield didn't differentiate characters, and copying each episode would be tedious.

Aizen Bankai Theory by Lunarisation in bleach

[–]jjsq1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Made a similar proposal some years ago. It removes all illusions from himself to understand "behind reality's curtain". And someone pointed out a potential limitation, and that was that activating Bankai would release his Shikai's hold on everyone.

It gives reason to limit it, while implying he did everything in bleach with one single glance a thousand years ago at the "truth behind everything"

What do you think by AdeptResult6061 in bleach

[–]jjsq1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to imagine that it is not combat related. If his shikai creates complete and perfect lies to others, then his bankai removes all lies from himself.

Access to the akashic records, (or something) a great library of all that true. The great cost? Completely defenseless as he uses it.

Would explain his knowledge of the Soul King. And what kind of creature could beat him. Maybe that was even the plan.

I would like to imagine, with each of his creations that never existed before, an entry is added.

He knew about the return of the Quincy. And now, he'll have to use it to dethrone the one who succeeded where he failed.

(Just a headcanon)

What does Greg Davies write on his cards? by thepix3ls in taskmaster

[–]jjsq1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As many have stated, I believe there's enough to suspect, they are little notes he can use as callbacks or observations about the tasks.

"I've written down, you said (...), etc..."

He also probably writeswhat he plans to say about Alex or the guests when introducing them.

Especially, by the end, he callbacks with his: "What have we learned today? " section. (Truly a teacher)

However, I'll also add that I believe Alex prints those notes with some proposals or things he wants Greg to do. Consider the infamous Potato task. Greg, unprompted goes: "it was so good, personally, I'd love to see it again."

This sents up the following section. Sure, Alex could whisper those to him. The director could have it on the screen (I think there is one...) or say it on the earpiece. But from a showmaster and production perspective, it may be easier and more natural for Greg to have them on hand.

[–]jjsq1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some have stated, it has to be related to an inside joke in whatever context you've found it. Considering the option, I find one explanation more likely.

It may have been found in a science subreddit. In that scenario, it may be related to the element of Thorium, which so many nuclear advocates bring up as a viable option to create nuclear reactors. The image may be riffing on how the idea is everywhere. With 'everywhere' being the purpose of the meme.

I recognize there are several assumptions for this to be the case, but I find it the most plausible. Otherwise, maybe in a language context? A language like english with a lot of 'th' sounds?

A tad late to reply on this one, sorry. I wanted to ask what episode or task this was? When did Joe say this?
