xkcd readers remembering 8 billion comic id numbers:
thedrivingcrooner@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You act like he has to pull it up with a number ID and doesn’t already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.
Boinketh@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I can find most of them by googling. XKCD seems to have their SEO down pretty well.
AKshy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Amazing, there really is an xkcd for everything
kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow my dating pool is at maximum, while i have been single for last 4 years
ericisshort@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.
jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 year ago
That is a “meth as a career” 36.
Philolurker@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.
voidhearts@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This is the second time this week I’ve ever heard this phrase in my entire life. I feel like I know what it means but I’m afraid to ask
Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn’t get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.
DeadGemini@waveform.social 1 year ago
Homeboy is HAGGARD for 36! That man is at least 65.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s a 35 year old as seen by an 8 year old, which appears to be, as I suspected, the age of wikihow authors.
MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
LOL. Yeah. That dude in the picture took her age, added 7 years, doubled that and then lied about his own age.
PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Idk I’m 36 and this checks out
marmo7ade@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do you have gray hair? Because that can easily be fixed with dye. I’m around your age and balding. So I shaved my head. Shaved head looks younger than a full head of gray hair.
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same.
OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s after 25 years down the coal mine
agent_flounder@lemmy.one 1 year ago
If he’s 65 then she’s looking good for 39…
aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
it reminds me of online dating.
CIWS-30@kbin.social 1 year ago
Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!
/S
cone_zombie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thank god for that “/S”
peanut_boy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Personally I won’t mind marrying a woman that was any of those things. Preferably all three
SneedsFeednSeed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This but unironically
lemming007@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Actually, a good advice in general though. Not many marriages last when the woman is considerably wealthier or older. Not sure about taller, I’ve seen a lot of successfull exceptions.
xantoxis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
These were originally labeled “56” and “17” because a Libertarian made the image.
RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 1 year ago
42-year-old, here. Late-20s-hotties, give me a ring.
Whaddya mean, “what does ring mean?”
1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 year ago
They will not say “what does ring mean?” They’ll look you one the eye and shout “I don’t understand your dated cultural references old man!!”
agent_flounder@lemmy.one 1 year ago
“you know, dial me up…”
“…dial?”
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And if you’re 18, you can only date someone who is exactly 18. Can’t go any lower or any higher.
Idk who told this to me, but what a weird contradiction. I guess it sorta makes sense.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:
y = 1/2 x + 7
then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.
At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.
Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you’d be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.
Puffymumpkins@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My favorite feature of the x/2+7 rule is that it implies you shouldn’t be dating below the age of 14. Run any number lower than 14 through it to see what I mean. You can’t reasonably say a 6 year old should only date people older than 10 and also younger than -2.
ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 year ago
How might this apply to calculator relationships?
eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
whatever the male equivalent is
Dirty Old Man
Daddy
Lothario
Creep
Giuliani
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I guess this makes more sense.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I believe now if you are 18 you need to consult with a lawyer before dating.
Hangglide@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I hope my kids don’t go to the same school that you did.
Resol@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same.

The rule is min: age/2+7, max: age*2-7, 36 -> min: 25, max: 65. 18 -> min 16, max 29.
JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The opposite of age/2+7 is (age-7)2, not age2-7. I.E. the min age for a 29-year-old would be 21, not 18, and the age whose min is 18, I.E. the max for an 18-year-old, would be 22.
Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That max age formula is pointless and contradicts the minimum age formula. For 29 the min age based on the min age equation is 21.5 which I’d say can be rounded up to 22, which sounds more reasonable than a 29 year old dating an 18 year old, which isn’t illegal sure, but I’m sure plenty of people would be raising an eyebrow at it.
That max age equation would mean that a max age for 14 would be 21. In contrast the min age for a 21 year old is 17.5, which can be rounded up to 18. Yymv on that one in particular, but I’m sure we can all agree that a 21 year old dating an 18 year old is a lot less sus than them dating a 14 year old. The minimum age formula seems fine enough on its own, not necessarily a universal rule but enough of a guideline to go by. If you want to calculate based on the younger age, just re-arrange the formula. With the older age being AgeO and the younger age being ageY, you go from ageY = (AgeO/2) + 7 to AgeO = (ageY - 7)*2.

Puffymumpkins@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You got the order of operations backwards for the max age. It’s (x-7)/2
Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If both parties are 18 and above, it is none of our business. Many men are into cougars and many women like sugar daddies. Whatever floats their boat.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Legally yes. Socially dating someone in the same life stage as you is the line. The half your age plus 7 rule roughly aligns to that.
thanevim@kbin.social 1 year ago
With how stressful things have been lately? I might just look like that in just under a decade...
theodewere@kbin.social 1 year ago
maybe 1987 was a weak crop or something, and they're aging prematurely.. i don't have any data to support that..
Yendor@reddthat.com 1 year ago
They started high-school just after Columbine, they were trying to get through high-school when 9/11 happened, they were trying to start their careers when the GFC came along, and they were trying to get married when COVID hit. Late-80s babies can’t catch a break.
Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You might be onto something, I’m from around that time period, balding at 20, grey hairs in my beard for the last 3 years…
GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 1 year ago
Makes you wonder whether there is a dating rule “based on science”.
LakesLem@lemm.ee 1 year ago
41 dating 25, we’re both happy but guess I should hand myself in somewhere ;~;
jordanlund@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Yeah, that dude is not 36…
Ertebolle@kbin.social 1 year ago
Stephen Miller is 37, this tracks.
Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Holy shit, I had to fact check this. I guess being an evil fuck ages the body. Wow.

Hey bb how u doin?
I’m 9 btw
aaaa@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Dude didn’t you read the post? Half your age plus seven! That means you should only date people who are 11 and a half
NaNaNaNaCatman@lemmy.world 1 year ago

bruhsus@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
I brutally kill 36 year olds too, usually by gassing them with RAID for trying to escape my basement.
agent_flounder@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Yes, agents, this one right here.

You’re right ! He still has all his heart on top of his head.
Who is out there seeing impossible standard for men ?
BeautifulPain@lemmy.world 1 year ago
[deleted]TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 1 year ago
No? 18/2 = 9 9 + 7 = 16
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?
small_crow@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.
metiulekm@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Honestly I’ve unironically missed the entirety of the image at first, I went directly to the text. And probably a lot of internet-savvy people would, this kind of image is useless decoration 90% of the time and people are trained to not look at it. Same concept as in that research where they asked people to find the current population number on a webpage and they had a very hard time, despite the value being in big red digits or something equally distinctive.
ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 year ago
When it’s concerning a brain fart, should it instead be a nice green cloud-shaped circle around the relevant part?
Hangglide@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Spotted the 36 year old. Put on some glasses old man!
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Got me you punk!
