The original had a sheep instead of Garfield

I’ve never seen ! used for boolean NOT in maths, just ¬. I think ! is something programming languages went for because it’s easier to type. That said, screw (a, b). Is that a (coordinate) pair, an interval, an inner product, some secret fourth thing? Who knows!

… Is Mr Ressetti still screaming at you in text for 15 minutes, fake deleting your save file and shit, if you fuck with the game/system clock?

… my game crashed at some point and I was terrified of playing after that because Mr Resetti would shout at me

Death of the author

People here keep using the term as basically a synonym of “separating art from artist” but I always thought death of the author was a different thing. Analyzing the meaning of a book while ignoring what the author says they meant.

Even as satire it’s kind of lame

12 year old you (unknowingly) made the irreversible life change of going through the default puberty. Plenty of people regret making that choice.

Essentially corporate censorship for fear of maybe offending someone.

and people will blame the wokes/DEI/whatever

Wasn’t the joke that Chang was in fact doing blackface, and everyone else scolds him for it? (this doesn’t make it good to remove, just changes the context)

Computer science: pi is O(1)

So much in this beautiful equation

Only if the admins actually decide to do so, so that’s what OP’s asking?

Any maths joke of this type will have obvious holes in it, that’s just how maths works

In that case, there’s no need to specify anything about the angles. Or, the characterisation the meme is playing with: a shape with four straight sides of equal length and right angles. Adding parallel to the meme’s version doesn’t help.

I’m just tired of this thread. Not only do Lemmy users have this weird urge to show off their high school maths knowledge to dunk on a joke that obviously only works because OP played with the definition, but they’re not even correct. The /r/mathmemes thread was much better.

No it doesn’t. Right angles + equal length is a sufficient condition

Ah, yes. Hi Doggy, Those Feratu, and El Wiwi.

Just like Renesmee!

I see what you’re going for re: automation, but calling this a genocide seems weird to me. Then scaling down cattle farming would also be genocide. There’s no horse culture that got eradicated, just less breeding.
