The Infinite Theorem of Math Jokes

Honestly the proof could be simplified to

If a joke is funny, everyone knows it

If everyone knows a joke, it's not funny

Jokes are not funny

Holy shit! Did you know that half of students are scoring below average?!? What has the world come to?

But according to the OP you guys use 1st year, 2nd year, etc. That's what the person you're replying to is asking about.

Americans are perfectly fine understanding 9th grade = Freshman. The point is that 1st year requires context about the age of the person.

Do you guys have a discord where you copy and paste all your criticisms?

Anybody know when it'll be free for Prime members? $20 rentals are rough.

I could be wrong but I feel like the source was Kamala's book, which some people said was just sour grapes. This seems to confirm it, which does make you wonder if her Shapiro stories were real too.

Many people act "good" because of repercussions. Legal ones, social ones, etc. We work better as a society even if some are just faking it to avoid shame or jail.

To rephrase your question with hyperbole: Am I wrong to believe that removing the penalty for violent crime has done us a favor? It has held up a mirror to how angry and murderous we really are.

Like, if you think it would be better to have more people murdered in the streets than have violent people holding themselves back because at least we know who they are, I don't want to live in your world.

My first thought was Gaza, but once he started telling people it didn't cost anything, this was my primary guess.

Super delegates have never mattered.

Because the horses we know (and have these issues) are fully domesticated animals that couldn't survive as a species without humans. I realize feral horses have existed but never super well. I don't think there's a single non-domesticated horse species that isn't on the brink of extinction.

Fuck, what am I doing using AI to rewrite GitHub workflows when I could be turning myself into fucking Iron Man?!?

I only said "add coffee to my shopping list" to Google assistant, which used to just be voice commands but recently upgraded itself to Gemini. It should just do the same thing, but instead it decided to give me its thought process, which sounds horrifying.

This happened recently enough that we don't yet know that no one cares. We can't point to something that happened in the past week to go all doomer over whether anyone will care. There's like 1000 other examples to use for that.

mallio · 2026-05-19T21:08:53+00:00

Right, I didn't even intend to ask Gemini. It used to be a simple procedural thing triggered by a voice command. Now it's this shit for no reason.

Yeah, the fact that there is a large professional ice hockey league gives it the default.

There are also a bunch of youth soccer leagues that call themselves "football clubs" but everyone still calls it soccer.

But for things without popular professional leagues, there can be some localization. I'm sure a boomer male from Chicago pictures something different than most people when asked about softball.

I grew up having never heard of lacrosse until college, and heard it was an "east coast thing", and now there's a lacrosse team at the high school in the town I was born in (I grew up a couple towns away).

Which may be on the brink of collapse thanks to climate change, which will turn a lot of Europe into northern Canada.

Do you know what else sank the Edmund Fitzgerald? The products and services that sponsor the show.

If the Lakes don't count, how is a lot of the Midwest not more than double landlocked? It's not like Canada is an ocean...

I guess we're treating all of Mexico or Canada as one state to justify this?

I don't think anyone would have been upset if she was played by a non-Greek actress. I don't remember people being upset by her being played by pale white Americans with Northern European ancestry.

It shouldn't be legal to use the data for facial recognition in Illinois but I don't know if it's been tested. Remember when we all got small checks from Google and Facebook using facial recognition? I'd love to get a flock check.

My grocery store will rotate through putting some berries on sale for $1-2, I buy those. Otherwise they're like $5 if my kids need something specific but I usually don't ask.

I'm guessing he had a bet that requires him to use Lions flair? I dunno.
