As a scientist who has seen too much "that's what the Algorithmen spit out, let's publish it", I can truly feel the comic

[-] JATtho@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Oh, this is a good one.

See, I thought that the most important thing was solutions of ethanol.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I've never had solutions from ethanol, only problems

It is the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems. :-)

I guess you'd need some proof.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago

Hm, that doesn't sound absolute

It's not, but it has some flavor to it. But 100 is a bit much.

We can compromise - 95. That seems like a good number if you really want to proof things right. You want at least 95.

I don't know that leaves 5P less. I feel like we need a P closer to 0.

How about if we just define that P=NP?

Regarding the alt text, that’s called a bureaucrat

If you think curiosity without rigor is bad, you should see rigor without curiosity

I hope I typed that right. I couldn't copy the alt text from the source on mobile.
And I was annoyed that XKCD alt text wasn't included with the post, so I thought I would include it to the best of my ability

If you add "m." before XKCD like: https://m.xkcd.com/3101/ you can tap the image to display the alt text and then copy it

XKCD alt text is always worth!
And it's not always available (like, the well known ones being circulated around social media).

Props to the OP for linking to the image from XKCD (as opposed to rehosting it) and further props for linking the source!

Just missing the delicious alt text (at least for me using jerboa, Firefox and a pixel phone)

[-] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah the alt text is always half the joke with XKCD.
