Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.

Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.

If it's frictionless, then a proper scientist already knows it's in a perfect vacuum.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago

Not necessarily. Two objects can still have friction in a vacuum together.

lol a giraffe would never fit in my vacuum.

You have to remember to take the Elephant out first.

I cant remember, what is the friction coefficient for a giraffe?

Oh aye, Samson was strength, Solomon had the wisdom required to dissect a baby. Samson would just rip it apart with his bare hands.

Edit maybe that should be bisect. We need less words, there would be much less misunderstanding.

This is great! I feel I'm reading a drunk Brit who has some familiarity with the Bible, just a little.

Oi! They're both cunts!

This proves my point. If fewer didn't exist I wouldn't have got it wrong.

I think Samson made my luggage.

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Strength and dexterous fine motor function.

He didn’t personally build it.

Kids are total commies.

Make sure to get the same number of spots too.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I let one cut and the other gets to pick first.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

This is the way. And from experience, it will result in sub-nanometer size differences.
