That's mainly limited to the American South.
You’re thinking of the fucks relatives, or also known in scientific circles as The Alabamian Constant (TAC for short).
This is useful for those trying to convey more precisely the amount of fucks they give.
0+0i
I fucking love this
Would plain old "What the Fuck" imply a null set?
So what’s their opinion on the holy fuck?
The holy trinity.
Fucking God Damn, Jesus Fucking Christ and Holy Fuck.
Must be an angel with wings, so they can also have a flying fuck.
I’ve never given a flying fuck though, and I’ve never heard anyone else give one either, so I’m not convinced they exist.
They are rare and seldom bestowed
No idea, but I do see plenty of evil fucks every day on the news.
Euler's fuck formula.
∅ = how many i have left to give.
The fuck transcends our ability to capture its essence
Nice try but no proof yet if the fuckery field is irrational.
Oh, there's definitely irrational fucks. I don't see a proof that there's indeed a fuckomorphism between C and F, though.
Nah, just look at the folks over in HR. Irrational fucks to a person. Though I suppose all that means is that there are some irrational elements in the set, not necessarily that it's isomorphic to the field of complex numbers. So can we diagonalize fuckery somehow...?
Here, I gotchu:
The phrase "you stupid fuck" Implies the existence of irrational fucks.
Okay but is the fuck a monoid in the category of endofunctors ?
There are definitely positive and negative fucks
There being absolute fucks doesn't imply positive and negative fucks though.
It implies we've set a point to measure against which we call zero fucks.
Perhaps there's an absolute zero fucks which can never be reached.
Perspective changes the reality around it.
I’ve always loved ladies who are smarter / better educated than me.
This does not even scratch the surface of the possible uses and variations of fuck.
So what's fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck?
About tree fiddy
The real question is - is fuck Turing-complete?
It's actually a beautiful language for arguing about computability because of how similar it is to a theoretical turning machine in that it possesses a read/write head that can move left and right on an infinite band. It's also incredibly simple to simulate using any other language of choice, including assembly and heck, even raw logic gates.
In this essay I will explain why Brainfuck should be the first language taught to computer science majors.
Well that's fucked...
No prove of irrational fucks yet tho
Plenty of empirical evidence around.
But do we get all of them?
fucking fucks implies fucks are procreating.
What the fuck
Or at least they’re trying…
Ok, everyone but me seems to get it, so I'll ask. I get everything but the last bit. What does "isomorphic with the complex field" mean? I think I know what isomorphic means from some dabbling I've done in category theory.
In means you can map every element bijectively to one from the complex field AND addition and multiplication can be performed in either field without leading to contractions, i.e. a+b=c <=> f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)=f(c) and equivalent for multiplication. This is the part that the meme fails to consider, because nowhere is addition or multiplication for this novel field defined.
I'll give this some attention when time permits because this does not make things clearer, lol.
I'll start with what a field is and a complex field 🤞
ELI5: it means that for every number there's a matching fuck and vice versa.
Not only for any number of fucks there is a corresponding complex number, but the basic operations (+, -, x, /) work in the same way for fucks and complex numbers
Overall, if two things are isomorphic you can consider them « the same »
"i do not give a single fuck" implies an additive identity fuck, and "I don't give two fucks" implies a multiplicative identity fuck. That's a start at least!
fan-fucking-tastic
What in the fucking fuck?! is a good one, too. Has some real what in tarnation? energy to it.
I also learned that FUCKING GOD!! is my go-to expletive when I spilled some icecream and my daughter (3 at the time) started yelling it in the car.
'What in the fucking fuck' implies that fucking is an injective function over the field of fucks.
From this we can infer that there is a complex function homomorphic to fucking 🤔
Fucks can also have a social hierarchy, as evidenced by the phrase:
"I don't give a single solitary fuck"
These are are simply unitary fucks. Matrix fucks with eigenvalue absolute value of 1. Surprisingly useful for quantum computing applications.
