A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are led into a long room. At the other end stands a beautiful naked woman. "When I ring this bell," she says" you may cross half the space between us. When I ring the bell again, you may again cross half the space between us." Both the mathematician and physicist groan and wander off. "Ah, it's Zeno's paradox, we can never actually reach her." The engineer, waiting for the bell, says "I think I can get close enough."
why is there a naked woman?
For the joke to work.
Nope, had to be cakes out, specifically to piss off the people who get angry when they detect something men stereotypically enjoy.
Actually everyone listed in the joke is a lesbian...
Cakey snatch isn't exactly my preferred choice but when in Rome.
Because humanity has no other desires between math and tits apparently.
Can confirm.
(I'm both a mathematician and a pervert)
and yelling at people who don't understand, apparently.
I've committed the most heinous of crimes according to the internet, not understanding the joke. ~~Sorry i'm autistic lmao.~~
So, I understand why there is a naked woman in the joke, what I don't understand is her motivation.
Don't you know women are objects and have no motivations. /s obviously
man i didn't even fucking try asking that question, i was just concerned about the roots of the hypothetical presented.
Sexism, obvs
that's a possibility.
