Nah, they just colloquial terms for emphasis. Though that's not nearly as fun!

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

So, "what in the isomorphic fuck" covers all the bases?

[–] captain_aggravated 3 points 3 hours ago

There are absolutely imaginary fucks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Best word in the entire English language. Nothing else compares.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

It certainly illustrates the diversity of the word

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I take "what the absolute fuck" to mean there's a platonic ideal of "fuck" and that's what they're referring to.

But this did make me want to find out the etymology of "absolute" :

(thank|fuck)you, this is going to waste my whole weekend. A visual representation of etymology, that is awesome, I guess I am one of the 10,000 today

Being all out of fucks to give also implies they are finite and exchangeable.

Are fucks a form of cryptocurrency?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Just because you are all out of fucks, doesn't really have anything to do with the finite/infinite nature of all fucks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

If I have none, clearly I have to mine more with my GPU.

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

The oldest profession traded in it so they are arguably the original currency.

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

A good point 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

A currency for sure. Both crypto and not

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

"What kind of fuckery is this?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Yes, this is correct.

You dont even have to be a math nerd to innately know this.

Like, I'm about to go to work & dispense imaginary fucks all day (because math-lord knows I have to real fucks to give anymore).

(The thing is they are both imaginary as well as irrational fucks, which complicates math a lot & I only work with fuck approximations)

[–] [email protected] 41 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Of course there is imaginary fucking. What do you think people do when they jerk off?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No that's simulated fucking. Imaginary would be a wet dream

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Both could be both. You could have an imaginary fuck while awake, you could have a simulated fuck with a wet dream that doesn't involve any fucking, stimulating fucking without actually imagining it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

what the absolute fuck implies relative fucks; it's not a math term

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

|fuck|

yes it is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

¿Porque no los dos?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don't we?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We already have irrational fucks, they're called politicians.

[–] flambonkscious 17 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Brilliant, and succinct. 10 points

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

So now we have both irrational and fractional fucks, we have all real fucks, and since we can have "twisted fuck" we can rotate any fuck through any angle and we have the entire complex fuck plane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Person 1: "fuck you!"

Person 2: "a real fuck to you to"

[–] flambonkscious 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Would a Gordian knot be like an ouborous of fucks?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] anomnom 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

And now a whole generation of 12 year old boys thinks that’s what normal sex is like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Fun fact about me, I was actually 12 once.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Yes, OP only gets you to Q[i]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Yes to all of those.

Source, my time in the Army.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

What in the flying fuck implies there must also be falling fucks, running fucks, swimming fucks, lazy fucks, and fucking fucks.

If I'm missing something here, please fucking let me know.

[–] anonymouse2 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking fucks imply the existence of asexual fucks.

Mother-fucking fucks are all I can find on Pornhub these days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Lots of fucked fucks on there, too. For unfucked fucks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

...static fuck?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Went on vacation in NYC last year. Can confirm, was called a fucking fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

That fuck's a fuck-fucking fuck, by virtue of that fuck calling the fuck that is you not merely a fuck but rather a fucking fuck. So fucked.

‘What the ever-loving fuck’ implies that love can overcome all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Or it implies that eternal love cannot exist or cannot exist in the presence of a never ending fuck, leading to the surprise in the statement

If negative fucks are real, then it would be possible.
