Have we tried slapping them out of existence? Or just telling them to think harder and maybe that’ll make them stop existing?

Four spiders, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5. Large enough to be legible of course.

He’s already the hero for the idiots. No need to change anything, it’s already the perfect allegory - just that they’re rooting for the villain.

Desoxyribo-antacid.

I completely failed that course. I don’t know what they mean or how to use them.

I never needed them. Guess it’s “when will we ever use geometry in real life” but with EM fields and waves.

Like the dead don’t realize they’re dead, they don’t realize they’re stupid. They’re just everyone else’s problem.

Beware temporal distortion field!

For some it’s an accident, inspiration for others: the unexpected origin of Raygun.

Let’s compromise!

Or what we can agree on: HO. Omg Santa was right all along.

My point is the difference between number system and language. We’re seamlessly converting back and forth while writing this, but there’s a specific amount in our heads that we’re trying to communicate, either by word or by number. The number is ambiguous only if you don’t know the base, while the word is ambiguous only if you don’t know the language. The meme is - presumably - in English, and they’re talking (in speech bubble form), so the misunderstanding doesn’t really happen. it’s only when a secondary ‘language’ is introduced - the numbers - that it is possible.

Ten in particular, which we usually write as a two digit number because of historical and biological context, still uniquely describes a certain amount without any relation to it being written as the first two digit number. In any language, you wouldn’t translate to one two three ten just because they usually write in base four, you’d translate to whatever their word for the number is that you’re trying to translate.

No, ten is a fixed amount in English. It has roots in base ten, but we also have eleven and twelve from other bases. (also dozen, gross, score.) In English there is no ambiguity when it comes to what number the word ten represents.

Only when written, which is the whole point of notation. “Ten” is still a fixed amount, and so is four.

Easy, they want you to buy a onedrive subscription.

oh I see, you have a shared drive. i assumed you send it around as emails.

you can still use word with git. it’s versioning first, diffing and merging only where possible. since you probably won’t branch you won’t need the latter, though.

Well, do you have dedicated JSON hardware?

Thereby rendering the definition of antisemitism meaningless.

So they just deny space exploration. Easy.
