I actually tend to treat fucks like the constant C in calculus. Ideally it should cancel out entirely and you should give the minimal amount of fucks in all of your final answers.

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 60 points 3 days ago

This is useful for those trying to convey more precisely the amount of fucks they give.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 3 days ago
[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

That's mainly limited to the American South.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You’re thinking of the fucks relatives, or also known in scientific circles as The Alabamian Constant (TAC for short).

Is the speed of fucks thus constant?

What in the fucking fuck?! is a good one, too. Has some real what in tarnation? energy to it.

I also learned that FUCKING GOD!! is my go-to expletive when I spilled some icecream and my daughter (3 at the time) started yelling it in the car.

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

'What in the fucking fuck' implies that fucking is an injective function over the field of fucks.

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

From this we can infer that there is a complex function homomorphic to fucking 🤔

[-] kirkoman@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 days ago

Nice try but no proof yet if the fuckery field is irrational.

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oh, there's definitely irrational fucks. I don't see a proof that there's indeed a fuckomorphism between C and F, though.

[-] Sloogs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Here, I gotchu:

The phrase "you stupid fuck" Implies the existence of irrational fucks.

[-] ornery_chemist@mander.xyz 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nah, just look at the folks over in HR. Irrational fucks to a person. Though I suppose all that means is that there are some irrational elements in the set, not necessarily that it's isomorphic to the field of complex numbers. So can we diagonalize fuckery somehow...?

[-] Entitle9294@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Ok, everyone but me seems to get it, so I'll ask. I get everything but the last bit. What does "isomorphic with the complex field" mean? I think I know what isomorphic means from some dabbling I've done in category theory.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

In means you can map every element bijectively to one from the complex field AND addition and multiplication can be performed in either field without leading to contractions, i.e. a+b=c <=> f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)=f(c) and equivalent for multiplication. This is the part that the meme fails to consider, because nowhere is addition or multiplication for this novel field defined.

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago

"i do not give a single fuck" implies an additive identity fuck, and "I don't give two fucks" implies a multiplicative identity fuck. That's a start at least!

[-] Entitle9294@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I'll give this some attention when time permits because this does not make things clearer, lol.

I'll start with what a field is and a complex field 🤞

[-] DisguisedJoker@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

ELI5: it means that for every number there's a matching fuck and vice versa.

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

Not only for any number of fucks there is a corresponding complex number, but the basic operations (+, -, x, /) work in the same way for fucks and complex numbers

Overall, if two things are isomorphic you can consider them «  the same »

This does not even scratch the surface of the possible uses and variations of fuck.

[-] Sivecano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago

No prove of irrational fucks yet tho

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Plenty of empirical evidence around.

There are definitely positive and negative fucks

So what’s their opinion on the holy fuck?

[-] radix@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Must be an angel with wings, so they can also have a flying fuck.

The holy trinity.

Fucking God Damn, Jesus Fucking Christ and Holy Fuck.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

No idea, but I do see plenty of evil fucks every day on the news.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 days ago

∅ = how many i have left to give.

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago
[-] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 days ago

Which implies the existence of a non god affected fucks.

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Given the overwhelming prevalence of holy fucks relative to damned fucks, does this suggest sanctified beings get laid more?

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Would plain old "What the Fuck" imply a null set?

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

What the uncomputable fuck

[-] save_the_humans@leminal.space 1 points 2 days ago

Ahh the navier stokes fuck. Believed to actually be computable.

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago

I fucking love this

[-] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Fucks can also have a social hierarchy, as evidenced by the phrase:

"I don't give a single solitary fuck"

[-] save_the_humans@leminal.space 2 points 2 days ago

These are are simply unitary fucks. Matrix fucks with eigenvalue absolute value of 1. Surprisingly useful for quantum computing applications.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

fucking fucks implies fucks are procreating.

Okay but is the fuck a monoid in the category of endofunctors ?

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

I see this comment section is full of various operations defined on fuckery. I don't think they form a field or even a ringi

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days ago

I’ve always loved ladies who are smarter / better educated than me.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

The fuck transcends our ability to capture its essence

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Euler's fuck formula.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I prefer to solve the Hodge conjecture
