I'm just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.

I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke

sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

Ohhhhh now I get it. Yea that ruins the joke…

Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I'm not doing the math, but maybe box one is 75% the size of box four?

This comes dangerously close to lost territory.

fossphi@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y

Three quarters close?

Why did this take you a second?

unipadfox@pawb.social · 13 pts · 1y

It only took me 3/4 of a second

virku@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y (8 replies)

I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?

Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don't feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.

DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz · 6 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Three out of the four boxes contain something. That's the fourth way to do it. Nothing is missing.

abfarid@startrek.website · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

That can't be it, cause then that's all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 1y

Damn, good point.

Killer_Tree@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!

Valmond@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

"three quarters"?

kewko@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

There's a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out "three-quarters" Hope it helps

::: spoiler Click here if you don't understand This graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾. :::

Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 12 pts · 1y (16 replies)

What's the fourth way?

zyratoxx@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Ratio 3 : 1

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

L plus ratio

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y (6 replies)

0.75

FiskFisk33@startrek.website · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

oh god, whats the second way then?

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

If I told you, I'd have to kill ¾ of you

FiskFisk33@startrek.website · 1 pts · 1y

that's a lot of horcruxes!

Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

that's one of the options in the cartoon.

Valmond@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Yeah, option number 4 😎

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Should have asked about the second way, fool

lath@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Pie chart

0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

Binary: 0011/0100

Or with reciprocals: (4/3)^-1^

Or 75 basis points

Tbh I find the deleted answer funnier

Explaining the fourth way by repeating what the comic said

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

Lol. I agree. I wish it was intentional. I just edited it in to my other comment.

Beacon@fedia.io · 6 pts · 1y

But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.

Lumidaub@feddit.org · 5 pts · 1y

... is... is this loss?

Floshie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y

those are the same pictures

Earflap@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

It works better for 2/3rds

/⅔/0.66//

kewko@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

⅔ ≠ .66

abfarid@startrek.website · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Or 4/5

DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Loss?
