Holy shit! I better calculate that number!

6+11=17

6-11=-5

6*11=66

6/11=0.545454

Ok. Now what?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago (1 children)

6 * 11 = 66

66 -> 6 6

6 * 6 = 36

The meeting was two days before he was shot in the ear

36 - 2 = 34

34 felony convictions

Profit?

I think from 6 * 6 = 36 it then goes

3 * 6 = 18

1 + 8 = 9

sqrt(9) = 3

Half Life 3 confirmed!

flip that six over, buddy.

Ah yes, I forgot about Telodzrum's Theorum of Digit Flippery.

It’s technically just a corollary.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

don't be so flippant, pal.

Just gotta spin it on them. No sign of damage weeks later sounds like witch Craft. Trump working for the devil! Calculate that!

Any sufficiently advanced witchcraft is indistinguishable from Christianity

You gotta give 'em that hawk tuah. Put a spin on that thang.

Excuse me, but I would prefer it if you would not call my math insane. I am an experienced mathologist and Bible expert who went to Prager U.

Even though it's right in the post, I missed what the implication was supposed to be about calculating the number. You're supposed to get 666, but they are really bad at math and think 6 * 11 is 666.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Calculate the number 6/11?

Alright...

6/11=0,54545454545

Not sure about what point he is trying to make....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's 1.8333333 for all the non-Americans

Isn't "666" a mistranslation anyway? It's 699, or 616, or something along those lines.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

The numbers were code for emperor Nero. If you assign every letter in the alphabet a number based on the alphabetical order and add up the values for the name, you get 666. But only if you use the Greek name NERON CAESAR, in Latin, he would be NERO CAESAR, and the missing N gives you only 616. So some scribes in the western part of the empire would calculate in their head and write down 616. So we got two versions of the number going around in manuscripts from the time.

Damnit really? I have taken pics of every 666 I see in the wild (mainly different odometers over the years) and it would suck if science really undoes all that hard work

EDIT Unless it's actually supposed to be 69420

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Calculate the number

I hate how the calendar jumps from June eleventh to July thirteenth every year.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

As a mod I say any insane social media posts are valid. As long as you follow the rules.

If that's what it takes to convince someone not to vote for Trump then why not
