rsuri,

4 is a trick question. Both had zero shark attacks, the so-called “shark” in Jaws was in fact a symbol of predatory capitalism and its amoral violence against the proletariat

z00s,

Number 7 is gonna be a real question one day. Wonder whether it’ll be pneumatic tubes or matter transporters that gets there first?

LodeMike,

Okay, who built the last penny farthing bicycle then?

z00s,

Who built the last CRT TV?

Who built the last commercial sailing ship?

Who built the last steam locomotive?

echodot,

Who built the last steam locomotive?

As long as there are old men there will always be steam trains. They always run on dedicated lines between the hours of 9:15 a.m. And 10:02 a.m. every 5th Thursday unless they cannot be bothered or it’s raining.

z00s,

The point is so far above you, you didn’t even see it fly past

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Nah, small airplanes are relatively easy to build. Even if we eventually stop large-scale production there’ll always be the occasional hobbiest putting a one-seater together.

z00s,

Production models.

ThoranTW,

Regarding #9’s alternative, “Not counting Canberra, what city was the most recently founded state capital of Australia?” is a bit of a bad question in and of itself, given that Canberra isn’t a state capital, since the ACT isn’t a state but rather a territory of Australia (alongside the Northern Territory).

xionzui,

Huh, I figured neither movie was a Spielberg movie. Turns out both are

Syd,

He really has a thing for including shark attacks in all his movies, if you pay attention there’s tons of subtle shark stack references in all of his films.

Visstix,

Yeah it was a fucking massacre in the opening scene of saving private ryan.

feedum_sneedson,

Then what happened?

Nomecks,

8 is yes, but I don’t have enough space to fit the proof in a post.

tooLikeTheNope,

from the explanation:

This is a famous, centuries-old open question in math known as Goldbach’s conjecture. Mathematicians widely believe that it is true,it has held true for every number checked up to 4 ⋅ 1018, but since it’s impossible to check every number, we can’t assume it’s universally true

Way more than enough to make any thing true on the interweb these days

Nomecks,

Woosh

tooLikeTheNope, (edited )

Oh no dude, that wasn’t referred to you at all, I got and enjoyed your lighthearted humour, the comment was a just general consideration on the rhetoric I too often encounter when diving into a heavily controversial threads on the interweb; e.g. usually a rando with 5 figures karma points will suddenly pop up out of nowhere bringing up bro’mbastically that in his own singular experience the argument was true/false, therefore whatever was the hypothesis, or the wall of text of fact-checked peer-reviewed argumentation presented, it surely must be simply correct/wrong…and everyone lived happily ever after in demagogyland.

Mango,

Today I triggered a guy who hates FTP and he gave me 4 whole nested comments ranting about how bad it is under the hood. Maybe you just don’t wanna fit the proof.

joe_cool,

Easy, only relevant part: defined as being > 1

Regarding 4. Do lawyer attacks count as shark attacks?

EmoDuck,

1 isn’t considered a prime number so three can’t ve constructed from just primes

uriel238,
@uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I am disappointed in Lemmings’ collective lack of Savvy regarding math trivia.

Next thing you’ll be telling me you don’t know how to prove there’s an infinite number of prime twins.

sudneo,

It says even number though

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

4 then - if 1 isn’t a prime, then 1+4 doesn’t count.

EDIT - should have been 1+3, doh!

ceasarlegsvin,

2 + 2

1+4 is 5, not 4

hstde,

1+4 is 5 though.

sanguinepar,
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, typo. But I was wrong anyway! :-)

KISSmyOSFeddit,

2+2

sanguinepar,
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Jesus, I forgot 2 was a prime, what a dolt.

LemmynySnicket,

1+4=5 not 4 and 4 isn’t prime either, so idk what you meant. 4 is the sum of two primes 2+2, which I thought was what you were asking at first.

sanguinepar,
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I screwed up twice here. Forgot 2 was a prime somehow.

1+4 was just a typo, meant 1+3.

EmoDuck,

Yes, but keep in mind:

I can’t read

caseyweederman,

Touché

j4yt33,

8 (about Goldbachs conjecture) is one that I don’t quite get. Isn’t the number 8 already proof that this isn’t true (sum of 4+4)?

MarcomachtKuchen,

8 is the sum of 5+3 both of which are primes. I think the Conjecture just states that there is a sum of two primes not every sum consists only of primes

j4yt33,

Ah gotcha! I thought it meant exclusively prime numbers

hushable,

7+1

cori,

1 is not a prime number. It would have to be 3+5

Ardyssian,

Then wouldn’t 4 fail the conjecture? 4 = 1+ 3 but 1 is not a prime.

Nevermind my sleepy self somehow thought 2 isn’t a prime number :)

RampantParanoia2365,

Was there like a second panel with a punchline for this one…?

ceasarlegsvin,
HowManyNimons,

Ten punchlines aren’t enough for you?

threelonmusketeers,

Leap day babies?

schnurrito,

That is why the explanation continues: “(other than pedantic exceptions due to calendar issues or timezone alterations, or someone dying before their birthday, or being born on a leap day, none of which apply in this case)”.

authorinthedark,

are we sure that none apply in this case? which BTS members still have upcoming birthdays that they could die before

schnurrito,

I just checked the Wikipedia articles and it seems that two of them have already had their birthday this year, five not.

@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

A friend of mine has his birthday on feb 29th. He was turning 49 and me and my gf showed up to his party with balloons with the number 12 on them (since that’s how many actual birthdays he’d had).

  1. Sydney.
zik,

…is the second largest city in Australia. But also has an inflated sense of self-importance.

;)

ripcord,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It was also the capital before Canberra, so I guess it gets to be the other one after Canberra?

discount_door_garlic,

Only Melbourne was previously the official capital of the federated colonies which became the Commonwealth of Australia. Sydney was, and still is, the capital of NSW - but was never the capital of the country.
