first divide up your friends into infinitely smaller and smaller friends until you almost have zero friends

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

l you almost have zero friends

I'm already there!

Do you think an electric chainsaw will do and then transition to filet knifes or..?

Just put a small "D" before them

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

Instructions unclear, can't find dknives or dchain dsaws at Home Depot!

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank god you didn't put your small "D" in yo friends

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

Well, I ain't got no small D that's not on a keyboard! I save the big D for those special friends ;)

[–] MBM@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I put them back together and now I have 12 friends, now what?

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

Keep going. You need to approach zero friends.

One time I had to buy 40 watermelons for a local festival, and ended up having to get them from the grocery store. Didn't want to bruise them, so I filled 4 carts up and made multiple trips to the checkout. For a moment there, I was the lady from all the math problems.

I know orgy-preparation math when I see one.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Much better than that time Dave brought taco bell for everyone before the orgy

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Fortunately we were at Daves parents house, so no cleanup.

Pen-pineapple-apple-pen. 🎉

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You cut one pineapple, share it with 6 friends, and goo around looking for people that want the other 36 ones. Or maybe reserve 2 others for cutting through the week, so you only have to find enough people to get 34 pineapples from you. (The closest supermarket from here doesn't keep as many in storage.)

Have your math classes in fundamental school teach you how to find people that want pineapples?

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

goo around looking for people

What does that entail? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

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

Upsidedown pineapples

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

6 people get 6 pineapples each, and you get the extra without mentioning it to anyone.

Alternatively, 7 people get five, and you keep the 2 extras because you went to all the work and they’ll never know.

But next time maybe try buying what you need instead….

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That doesn't seem to work on Lemmy, are spoilers different on dbzer0?

On Lemmy:

Usually its client side thing. I use voyaher and is on dbzer0 butthe other guy's post does not have spoiler

I'm using Sync, which was retooled from reddit after the incident.

I think I fixed it.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So you figure out the volume of pineapples by creating an equation for their shape, then divide it up.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Easy, that’s just nRT/P, assuming the pineapple is an ideal gas.

[–] maculata@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Assuming the pineapples are a sphere rolling down a frictionless slope…

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Letting her know you drank a bunch of pineapple juice before your date.

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was at a networking event with work people. They had a big tray of fruit and cheese that included a whole, unsliced pineapple displayed on the center, not being used. The caterers thought my request was wacky, but agreed to let me take the pineapple. The people I was with shamed me out of taking it, and I reluctantly dropped the pineapple. The ordeal became something we still reminisce about. I found a random pineapple on my desk one day. And we share pineapple-themed pictures when we happen upon something.

This particular day, I hit the pineapple jackpot.

[–] feedmecontent@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just cut off 37/6ths of a pineapple for each of your friends.

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

Everyone gets 6 pineapples, except for you, you get 1.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

You do that kind of arithmetic quite often if you work in a kitchen.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

My knife only has room for 3 cuts, after that it's just flat bar. How do I cut these pineapples?

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Me at uni: Let N = 2^2^...^2, n times, and G be a graph of size N, then using Szemeredis Regularity lemma...
Me at home: We have like 8-9 apples left honey, do you really need a precise number?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

At some point I did feel like this in college.
