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

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 12 points 14 hours ago

Why did this take you a second?

[-] unipadfox@pawb.social 13 points 13 hours ago

It only took me 3/4 of a second

[-] GildorInglorion@lemmy.world 42 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 12 hours ago

... is... is this loss?

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 29 points 19 hours ago

This comes dangerously close to lost territory.

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 6 points 17 hours ago

Three quarters close?

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 10 points 18 hours ago

Click here if you don't understandThis graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Hmm, could complicate it bit with reciprocols: (4/3)^-1^

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

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 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Binary: 0011/0100

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

Or 75 basis points

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 points 15 hours ago

oh god, whats the second way then?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 14 hours ago

that's a lot of horcruxes!

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

that's one of the options in the cartoon.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, option number 4 😎

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Should have asked about the second way, fool

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 8 points 17 hours ago
[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

L plus ratio

"Three fourths"

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 6 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] virku@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

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?

[-] Bsher8365@lemmy.world 17 points 19 hours ago

Clue: How many boxes are there?

[-] virku@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 4 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 4 points 14 hours ago

Damn, good point.

[-] Killer_Tree@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

"three quarters"?

[-] kewko@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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

[-] Floshie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

those are the same pictures

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 3 points 18 hours ago

It works better for 2/3rds

/⅔/0.66//

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

[-] kewko@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago
[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, should be 0.(6).
