I could save some of those to use them next time I need to comment something really badly coded (like my own code when it was written on a hurry).

I want to write a code that is literally one of these. cool

Perma-cal

Eh, it's an alright strip, but it inspired only mild amusement for me.

Perhaps we should be using a different comparison.

[up]So then if the Earth is the size of a basketball, who're all these people and/or cats and what are they standing on? The international space station?

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.

The alt text for this comic might actually make a good "What If?"

That was my thinking. I tried to figure out how to estimate how many basketballs have ever been made, but I had no idea how to find such data.

I think there's already been a similar What If (What if the earth was the size of a bowling ball? What if a bowling ball was the size of Earth?).

I don't get it, and because of the title and the fact that I just had my final exam for my Discrete Math course yesterday, I feel like I should get it.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

I think the implication is that Pikachu was stored with a filled pokeball, so every Pikachu is spawning another Pikachu and so on.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

Fuck discrete math. Dropped it last semester and kicked it over for next.

[up][up][up] I get that it's referring to induction, I just don't get how.

And yeah, discrete math is annoying. Fortunately, I won't have to take it again after yesterday.

@Fuzzyboots: So it's like Tribbles?

This one's going way over my head.

It's been a long time since I've done the proofs, but proof from induction is where you show that, if something is true for n implies it is true for n+1, then you can prove it for some smaller number and it holds true from that number to infinity.

The thing about an occasional double-Pikachu is probably a forkbomb reference.
