Ixthos he/him Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 So, what is your favourite nerd jokes, science jokes, or humour obscurus? How does Spider-man travel arround the city so quickly? Spoiler He uses Peter Parkour. Three logicians walk into a bar. The barman says: "So, do you all want a drink?" The first logician says: "I don't know." The second logician says: "I don't know." The third logician says: "Yes." @Ripheus23 you might like this one: What is an anagram of Banach-Tarski?

Karger he/him Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 A group of wealthy investors wanted to be able to predict the outcome of a horse race. So they hired a group of biologists, a group of statisticians, and a group of physicists. Each group was given a year to research the issue. After one year, the groups all reported to the investors. The biologists said that they could genetically engineer an unbeatable racehorse, but it would take 200 years and $100 billion. The statisticians reported next. They said that they could predict the outcome of any race, at a cost of $100 million per race, and they would only be right 10% of the time. Finally, the physicists reported that they could also predict the outcome of any race, and that their process was cheap and simple. The investors listened eagerly to this proposal. The head physicist reported, "We have made several simplifying assumptions. First, let each horse be a perfect rolling sphere . . ." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor she/her Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’ve got some math puns that also have various nerdy references in them. One day, I encountered an Ent in the forest. I was curious as to why he was there, as I had thought he was a resident of Middle Earth. He claimed that he had been visiting his friend, Gru, who could build him a device to help his fellow Ents make up their minds quicker. But Khan has been passing by and, being evil, had snatched him up and gotten him lost in the forest. So I led the Ent out of the forest and reunited him with Khan and Gru. I wanted them to stop fighting and for there to be peace, so I said “Khan, Gru, Ent”, pointing at them each in turn, “You guys need to realize how similar each of you are!” Problem solved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthos he/him Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Two atoms were walking down the road. The first atom suddenly stopped. "I think I just dropped one of my electrons!" "Are you sure?" said the second atom. The first atom looked at him. "I'm positive!" If you ever want to flirt with a biologist, just tell them that if you had to pick between DNA and RNA, you would choose RNA every time. Why? Spoiler Because RNA has U in it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthos he/him Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Two chemists walk into a bar. The first chemist says: "I would like some H2O." The second chemist says: "I would like some H2O as well." The first chemist sits down and drinks, angry that the assassination attempt failed. Helium walked into a bar. "I'm sorry," said the barman. "We don't serve noble gasses here." Helium didn't react. There are two types of people in the world. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I pull out two cast iron skillets, I strike a dramatic pose, wave them mystically, and say "I'm dual casting."

I like that one :-) Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg, and Pascal were playing hide and seek. They began the game, Einstein counting, and Pascal and Heisenberg ran off to hide. Netwon, however, just drew a square - with each side 1 metre - on the ground, and then sat down inside it. When Einstein finished counting he turned around, and said to Newton: "I've found you Newton!" But Newton replied: "No, you haven't! You found Pascal!" Oh, and If you are wondering why Heisenberg is in the joke, and where he was hiding ... I'm not certain, but I can tell you how fast he was going ;-) You know, numbers can be very weird. I just heard a rather complex disagreement between the real and imaginary axes - they were having an argument over pi (or maybe it was half a pi? I'm sure they could have done with two pies, or any even number to share). It didn't sound very rational to me, but that's transcendental to the story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed! :-D You know, I'd forgotten I'd made this thread. Here is an old one, but that just means its a classic ;-) A mathematician, an engineer, and a statistician went out to hunt deer. Soon they spot one, and the mathematician carefully calculates, based on the weight of the bullet, the speed at which it will leave the barrel, the distance to the target, and the projectile's arc due to gravity, how to hit the target. So the mathematician takes aim, fires, and misses by one metre to the left. "Ahh!" Says the engineer. "You forgot to take the wind into account. Here, let me try." So the engineer takes the gun, eyeballs it, fires at the deer, and misses by one metre to the right. "Ah ha!" Says the statistician. "We gottem'!" (Of course the real flaw in this joke is the statistician should know better than to only use two samples. That's why they should have used a shotgun - it would have increased the sample size.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theTruthshaper Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar The first mathematician orders a beer The second orders half a beer "I don't serve half-beers" the bartender replies "Excuse me?" Asks mathematician #2 "What kind of bar serves half-beers?" The bartender remarks. "That's ridiculous." "Oh c'mon" says mathematician #1 "do you know how hard it is to collect an infinite number of us? Just play along" "There are very strict laws on how I can serve drinks. I couldn't serve you half a beer even if I wanted to." "But that's not a problem" mathematician #3 chimes in "at the end of the joke you serve us a whole number of beers. You see, when you take the sum of a continuously halving function-" "I know how limits work" interjects the bartender "Oh, alright then. I didn't want to assume a bartender would be familiar with such advanced mathematics" "Are you kidding me?" The bartender replies, "you learn limits in like, 9th grade! What kind of mathematician thinks limits are advanced mathematics?" "HE'S ON TO US" mathematician #1 screeches Simultaneously, every mathematician opens their mouth and out pours a cloud of multicolored mosquitoes. Each mathematician is bellowing insects of a different shade. The mosquitoes form into a singular, polychromatic swarm. "FOOLS" it booms in unison, "I WILL INFECT EVERY BEING ON THIS PATHETIC PLANET WITH MALARIA" The bartender stands fearless against the technicolor hoard. "But wait" he inturrupts, thinking fast, "if you do that, politicians will use the catastrophe as an excuse to implement free healthcare. Think of how much that will hurt the taxpayers!" The mosquitoes fall silent for a brief moment. "My God, you're right. We didn't think about the economy! Very well, we will not attack this dimension. FOR THE TAXPAYERS!" and with that, they vanish. A nearby barfly stumbles over to the bartender. "How did you know that that would work?" "It's simple really" the bartender says. "I saw that the vectors formed a gradient, and therefore must be conservative." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get the poles past tho. Why left ? Are u talking about magnetic poles ? The polar form of complex equations ? It relates to control theory. Basically the poles and holes of a system, plotted in the s-plane (a complex plane), describe how the system behaves - basically they describe signals that either decay (the left half) or grow to infinity (the right half), and so a stable system only has poles on the left half of the plane. Think of them as sine waves that, for poles on the left half decay in amplitude, and those on the right half are sine waves that grow in amplitude, the frequency of those sine waves is defined by the pair of poles' y-value - the further from zero, the greater the frequency. The x-value then is in effect the exponent of the number the sine wave is multiplied by. ... of course its been a while since I took control courses, so I might have screwed up the description in some ways, but that is the general idea :-P Hope this helps!
