I don't accept your answer. I know deep in my heart that it's 4.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

I got the same thing on my phone's calculator. Do you think the waterproofing will get in the way when I give it the baptism it clearly needs?

[–] themusicman 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's so ugly, it can't be correct... 4 is much nicer

[–] RisingSwell 22 points 11 months ago

Glad you did though, only opened the comments to see what the actual answer was.

[–] MightyWeaksauce 21 points 11 months ago

Ya beat me by seconds. Lemmy is truly blooming lol

[–] PR3CiSiON 18 points 11 months ago

I got 178,910,723.30891

My answer is superior.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Well, 4 wasn't that far off, considering.

[–] Blue_Morpho 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's a 4 in the more accurate answer. That is proof of the divine showing the truth before man could understand the full answer.

This guy apologetics.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was only a couple orders of magnitude off.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

2 is a couple, 9 is more like fewish

[–] AnxiousOtter 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

2 is a couple.

What's a few, several, a bunch, a bit, many, a bundle?

Do we really want to live in a world where this fraction is the answer? I would like my kids to grow up knowing it's an integer

Round down for simplicity. Yes, yes, I can see 4 being the easy answer.

[–] harmsy 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I saw three different serious-looking answers, so I punched it into a spreadsheet to get my own answer. What I got matches your answer, but with an extra 2 at the end.

You aren't supposed to read it literally. 4 is metaphorical.

[–] CleoTheWizard 4 points 11 months ago

Well God is a trinity and is therefore also divisible by 3, checkmate atheists!

I have a guy feeling that one of these days Zach will make the old URL format not work anymore. So here's the same comic in the new format (found by going to the next comic, then the previous) https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-10-31

this changes nothing and I have nothing to add, have a nice day

[–] elrik 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The product ends in a 5 so it is odd and cannot be divisible by 4.

They'd then go to war

[–] Stupidmanager 6 points 11 months ago

Those damn people worshipping their rabbit god when we know for a fact the duck god is the true god! Now they refuse to believe the answer is 4.

This means war!

Pretty sure it's 4

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 11 months ago

That other number is long and complicated and scary. I looked into my heart and found that 4 was the answer that spoke to me the loudest.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

"it is 4" -- Me 1:1

This checks. I estimated it to under 1/5 billion.

To the OP, some periods or commas would have been nice.

To the 4ists, Yeah. Well, ya know, that's just, like, your opinion man.

I would have said "42" and walked away

Pretty sure his theory is a hypothesis.

It's not that far off. Math philosophy gets nuts
