Massive mathematical explosion

I did this today while in excel. I knew what would happen. Call of the void. The undefined void.

God damn I love that community.

One of the things I like about this one is that the containment procedures include:

As a way of limiting the impact of the anomaly, Foundation staff are to monitor all educational institutes for high rates of bear attacks

Implying that educational institutes have some rate of bear attacks that would not be considered "high."

One's an accident. Two's a coincidence. Three's an SCP.

(And probably one of my faves.)

It's been at least a year or so since I went on an SCP binge but I don't remember threat levels being a thing. They were going for more a three category system last time I was active in the community.

This has Funniest Joke energy to it

Looks like he's trying to avoid the Helvetica Scenario.

Classic Lemmy. Here we are cracking jokes from the luxury of our armchairs, whilst that man is out there risking life and limb.

Shame on you all.

To my brain the gloves look like hairy arms. That would mean somehow outside of the math containment a HAZMAT is necessary but you can touch the math with your bare hands.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

There's no need to protect yourself with gloves, as not even deadly contaminants want to be near math.

Should've cut to an insurance agent denying coverage based on the actuarial table.
