What is the context for this? I am extremely entertained by the idea that this might be a thing.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's just an edit of this meme

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

several alphabets, in fact

once you run out of Latin letters you start using Greek, Hebrew, Fraktur, etc

I like using Japanese kana in my homework. I'm learning the language, and it helps with calming down after the rage of "what the hell is this thing, that doesn't make any sense???"

As a result, i have to prove that the set ま is open.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

I like that! I should start using Kana or cursive Cyrillic in my derivations to mess with the professors

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or fancy letters, like the L in a Laplace transformation.

And if that's not enough, you just straight up make up new symbols, like Nabla

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes, because other science fields like linguistics would never just grab random letters and turn them upside down to repurpose them!

əəəə... What do you mean? /j

Any upsidedown A in the set of all real characters used in academia would immediately illicit mathematical memories.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you mean ALL the upside up A?

[–] Poik@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope, it means "for any" as in no matter which one you choose it will be correct.

I usually used it as "for all", but its looks like "for any" is used too

[–] Poik@pawb.social 1 points 6 days ago

I sit corrected. It's used as an arbitrary singular value within the proof, so for any always felt more appropriate.

Also a good way to start an essay

What sentences make sense both in math and in a sex scene?

  1. These are some nice curves you've got, and that's no hyperbole.

This is what my family thinks public school is like

At the risk of outing the extreme perversity of my sick mind, I present the following math problems for your edification and enjoyment...

TW: Age-play

All participants are adult, even when otherwise is implied. Cat magic.

Yes, they are real math problems. I wrote up a bunch for a failed scene decades ago.

Enjoy.


Travel: On a road trip daddy is letting Tiffany steer the car. While Tiffany bounces softly on daddy’s lap, daddy is casually accelerating six miles per hour per minute. How far to they travel from the point they’re going 30 mph to when they’re going 90 mph?

Snack Time: Leslie is eating an enormous double-scooped ice-cream cone while Brenda is sucking on a huge Popsicle. Leslie's long licks up the side and along the top of her two scoops each average 8 seconds and 5 such licks consume an ounce of ice cream. Meanwhile, Brenda's sucking strokes are only 4 seconds long. But the juice-bar is so big she can only contain 2 inches of frozen fruity goodness in her mouth at a time. It takes 20 such strokes for Brenda to wear away an inch of her tasty treat. If Leslie’s ice cream cone is 16 ounces and Brenda’s Popsicle is 9 inches long, and it takes Leslie just as long to eat the cone as it does Brenda the last two inches of Popsicle, then which girl will finish their snack first, and by how much time?

Sleep Time: On Friday night, Teresa has a slumber party with six other girls. Daddy takes 30 minutes to tuck Teresa in, plus 5 minutes each to tuck in the other girls at the party, except Veronica with whom he takes 45 minutes. Daddy also takes 20 minutes to tuck in Teresa's little sister, Holly, and an hour to tuck in Teresa's older sister, Barbie. At what time does Daddy have to start getting girls ready for bed in order to have them all in bed by 10:00 pm?

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago

I was not ready for the truly unholy unit of mile per hour per minute

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is daddy doing with Barbie and Veronica?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Actuarial consultation, obviously.
