That is a masterfully crafted mansplaining trap.

Chappeau.

That's actually just the first part of the phrase. The whole thing is "je ne suis pas français, chappeau"

edit: Ok this was supposed to be a joke about mansplaining something you know nothing about, but we fell into Poe's law.

just the first part of the phrase

Seems to me like it was the last part of the phrase.

je ne suis pas français, chappeau

I tried googling this to see if I was missing some reference or something and it led to strange google behavior I've never seen before... When I search "je ne suis pas français, chappeau" without the quotation marks, Google automatically changes the French to English in the search bar when I hit the search button.

Anyone else experienced this? For what possible fucking purpose would that exist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I didn't get that behavior, but no significant result to explain the expression either.

But on the topic of weird behaviors, try to get copilot or meta AI to make a sign or an image for you with a phrase in a different language than your own.

They always translate it, I can't get them to keep the exact text at all.

  • Number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water (H2O): 2
  • Number of stars in our (ENTIRE) solar system: 1

That's the joke.

Thanks, I never would have been able to understand 2>1 if you hadn't written up that amazing power point slide.

It's 2 > 1, so correct two hydrogens versus one star: Sol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

O sole mio!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What about celebrities?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Celebrities contain more than two hydrogens, true.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

I skipped reading the word stars, and I thought it was deliberately wrong to rile people up.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Iits not a lot, but it's crazy that it happened twice.

[–] JackbyDev 14 points 6 days ago

My autopilot brain kept skipping over molecule and missing the joke lol.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

There are fewer hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are fingers on my hand.

Check and mate.

Ken M made a similar joke a while back right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (6 children)

There actually are more molocules of H2O in 10 drops of water than there are stars in the observable universe.
