Fuck cancer

Agreed, fuck cancer.

And I would not be even a little surprised if the CoS found a way to give him that cancer. Secretly irradiating him or something. Those fuckers are nuts.

Does cancer target good people?

If you’re gonna die the best way to do it is 69ing

werefreeatlast@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

So, is he 69 yet? How did they know he dies at 69? Every time? Or just the one time? How many times can he be 69?

All numbers are funny if you’re stoned enough.

As a middle school math teacher this one is especially funny to my students. Never ask them for a random two-digit number unless you want every math problem to involve 69.

Do they give 420 for a three digit number too? Or that too young, not sure what middle school age ranges are.

As the father of a middle schooler- a minority are already smoking it and they all know what it means.

Thanks Squid.

Hey, remember we talked before about your move across the pond? Just wondering if you’re still on track and things are good. 😊

Or if you like numbers enough :3

dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

My favourite numbers are the Fibonacci Sequence. Sometimes just write them out on paper when bored 😂

My favorite funny numbers is the live US debt counter, its funny to see so much made up money disappear :3

dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y

That is funny. We live in a crazy world where all countries are in debt and corporations are printing money.
