How long is a feef tho

onlooker@lemmy.ml · 31 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Zero. Then all the other measurements make sense.

But then the two on the bottom would have to be inside one another.

Its an awkward position but it is possible

onlooker@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 2y

Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other "person" is just the first person's shadow. It's a stretch, but it's the best I've got.

That totally works, but only when Positionen on an appropriately sized sphere

So unless you are a flat earther, you cannot complain?

Pirasp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I guess so, also it puts into perspective, how big a feef is. It would have to be 1/4 of the Earth's circumference. Or maybe they are standing on a smaller sphere.

The meme artist here is not thinking in enough dimensions. These constraints result in a tetrahedron. So you just need to stand in a triangle formation and have the last guy go in the center and float less than the average human height above ground.

Damn i hate when some other pedant beats me to it in the comments!

TokenBoomer@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Stephen Hawking isn’t a pedant, he only went to Epstein’s island to get away from light pollution.

It makes sense if you interpret it as ≥6, which is probably what they meant anyways.

Edit: I'm pretty sure it also works in hyperbolic space

I think you're fine in just 3 dimensions. If the person to the upper left and lower right have a separate elevation from the other two, this is basically just the shape of a 4 sided die.

Solve for feef.

Well, that's not practical, but is physically possible, we just need someone moving on stilts and we are done

Just a simple tetrahedron of people.

Implying flat Cartesian space.

But people exist only on Earth so what do you suggest? Earth being some spinning bouncy ball instead of a majestic plane?

brown567@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 2y

But how many feet are in a foof? 🤔

anubis119@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

I never thought I'd need to remember that math equation. Little did I know I'd need it to answer a meme on Lemmy. 8.485.

JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

Approx. 8.5 feet for anyone curious

6√2 if anyone wants to be more specific

It works in three-dimensional space...

rwhitisissle@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

Everyone's saying that this works in 3 dimensional space, but this also works in 2 dimensional space such that each side could be at a minimum six feet. The resulting structure would be a rhombus and not a square, with the distance between two of the individuals being much greater than 6 feet, though, which the artist did not accurately represent.

Wait so to maintain social distancing I need to perform a tire people rotation?

Look, lets be honest here, they'd be holding Neil back instead.

But why are two physicists holding him back?

Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.

Great, you can't even correctly type a title for the image you stole. High effort

I'm sure he'll get rich and famous with all the upvotes

Zerush@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

No, on the contrary, it cost me a lot of money paying 600 users for upvotes
