Does the sequence go N girls, N-1 cups? Or N number of girls sharing only 2 cups?

I need to know how this scales as the number of girls and cups grow larger.

[–] Darorad@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think N/2 would make the most sense

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What if n is an odd number

in this economy you need a cupmate to afford the rent on even the tiniest of cups

[–] quantenzitrone@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

⌊n/2⌋ cups

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this stuff is so much easier to figure out with one man one jar

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Under capitalism, every man gets a jar.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Under capitalism, nobody is given a jar; jars are "earned". One man owns the jar factory and most of the jars.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Always just one cup for any N girls

[–] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AFAIK it scales at a 2:1 ratio. n girls means n/2 cups.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well actually this is a discrete math thing, so if we let n be the number of girls, and f(n) be the number of cups, then f(n) = n/2, but only such that n = 2k, where k is an integer.

im surprised he didn't blame it on trans people tbh

Jordan Peterson looks terrible, what's up with him?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The all-meat diet his daughter hawks, past benzo abuse, and probably karma 🤷

[–] seth@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Seems like he forgot to set his house in perfect order before criticizing the world.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

becoming a right-wing grifter grinds away your soul until you're an empty husk like republican senators.

And brain damage from the Russian medically induced coma every western doctor refused to do instead of sending him to rehab.

Apple cider if we're to believe him

So apparently it was chocolate. I hope it really was.

[–] Amilo159@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Chocolate, Fudge

[–] Spellinbee@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was actually thinking about that video the other day for some reason. I was wondering if younger people knew about it or if it had been forgotten to time.

[–] Saltblue@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of people know, it has sort of entered pop culture, even if they haven't seen the video.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Some people don't even know meatspin. It's a travesty honestly.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Can't be Werner Herzog, since he doesn't use contractions.

[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's that lobster fella, but I enjoyed reading it in Herzog's voice after you mentioned him.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Up yours, woke moralist! We'll see who Kermits who!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Jordan Peterson. About as insane as Herzog but much more malignant afaik

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You are right, he does not use contractions

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago

It's even worse when you realize they are sharing the single cup to use as a toilet. Can't even get a real toilet in this economy SMH

[–] supimacat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
