Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
If he was a mathematician with an audience of mathematicians that all knew this was wrong, the error could have worked as an extra intentional joke. However, the joke he went for could have been made without this error.
Basically, this is an unforced mistake that ruined a joke for some while having little to no effect on others' enjoyment of it. You're in the latter group and I recognize there is a significant number of you in JO's live audience as well as on Lemmy, as this post is quite controversial.
Can someone explain what part he's incorrect about? (Since we're in ConfidentlyIncorrect)
Which part of the tweet did you think was right?

It's certainly not very useful or informative.
But please explain how it is incorrect.
Well for starters Kamabla is not actually at the intersection of Kama and Bla…

You have two strings and in the overlap you have the concatenated string formed from the parts. Again, not useful but a totally valid interpretation.
So .... can you actually explain why you think it is incorrect or is snarky comments all you got?
This article on Intersection might help you understand
Here are the basics, though:
The intersection of
and
is the set
of elements that lie in both set
and set
That picture does not make it clear that the labels refer to regions, not elements. A clearer explanation of set operators is the following:

- B (Set B)
- A ∪ B (Union of A and B)
- A (Set A)
- A \ B (A minus B; notation varies)
- B \ A (B minus A)
- A ∩ B (Intersection of A and B)
A correct Venn diagram of "KAMA" and "BLA" would have only "A" in the middle, because that is the only part that is present in both.
If we assume it's about letters, then the sets would need to be like
( KM ( A ) BL )
No, because A is not part of KM or of BL. The intersection is supposed to show what both sets have in common.
I am correct if we assume
- Left set: "Letters in 'KAMA'"
- Right set: "Letters in 'BLA'"
The exclusive region of the left set will only contain K and M. The left set will contain K, M and A, the last one is also a member of the right set.
Oh, now i get what you meant. Sorry, I misunderstood.
This guy has a very punchable face and is insufferable. I don't understand how he is so popular.
It turns out funny news with lots of bias is a winning combination
But he is not funny...
Other Team Bad is objectively hilarious, you are incorrect
What if I'm in neither teams? I'm European.
