Assume the pig is spherical, frictionless and ignore wind resistance.

hstde@feddit.de · 15 pts · 2y (3 replies)

So a spherical pig in a perfect vacuum?

Yeah we have those on aisle 6.

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Aisle

hstde@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y

My bad, though I learned that the old spelling for aisle is in fact isle. I have corrected it, thank you.

Tried to replicate by subtracting pi from a police officer, but all I got was a type error and a night in jail.

A pig without (3.14 AKA pi) = g

G is gravity which is 9.8 metres per second on earth

For anyone not sober wondering wtf this meant.

I am not sober thank you

be me

"... a pig without pi is ... gravity... no...

a pig without pi is... heavy?...

Oh..."

My friend still doesn't get it...

Lumidaub@feddit.de · 9 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Mine doesn't get it either and, uh... it's soooooo easy and obvious that I don't know how to explain. Yeah.

"A pig without 3.14 is 9.8"

3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)

"pig" without "pi" is "g" (not math, just letters)

g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²

Tyfud@lemmy.one · 9 pts · 2y

Thank you for that. It finally clicked.

bibliotectress@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

Pi is about 3.14 and the acceleration for gravity (g) is 9.8. So a pig without 3.14 (pi), is 9.8 (g).

same here lol

A pig without pie is gravity? What am I missing?

ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca · 37 pts · 2y (3 replies)

pi = 3.14
g = 9.8 m/s^2
pig

qarbone@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wow. Thank you for explaining but that was a lot less funny than I was expecting

0ops@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y

Lol this comment made me laugh more than the op

grooving@lemmy.studio · 2 pts · 2y

Ahhh thank you!

HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (4 replies)

So pig = ~30.8

mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Can also be 12.84

HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I don't get it :(

mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

A pig without 3.14 is 9.8

pig - 3.14 = 9.8 pig = 9.8+3.14

Ah fuck, my math. Its 12.94 not 12.84

You have my upvote, but please, don't do it again.

I get half of the joke, but completely lost on the second half, and title.

sag@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y

For explanation of Title: Actually most of the time I take g as 10 in numericals and give answer in approx.

misophist@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

pig

pi g

The number pi, earth gravity 3.14..., ~9.8m/s²

Pig without 3.14 is 9.8

Player2@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y

You mean pig without 3 is 10.

lowleveldata@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y

A pig without 3.14 is (0.0015926...) * 9.8
