Collection of Science Jokes P2

In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

Feynman's answer works as well:
It can produce some interesting results, but that's not why we do it.

What is the difference between a auto mechanic and a quantum mechanic?
A quantum mechanic can get his car into the garage without opening the door.

Operative word "can". The probability of that happening is very low indeed :D

With a quantum mechanic, you take your car in and it's random whether it gets fixed and how much you are charged. Whereas with an auto mechanic... no, wait a minute...

Why are auto mechanics like actors?

They often have to wait to get the parts

OP: Did humans invent math or did we discover it? Does math even exist?

Reply: Listen, all we were trying to do was keep track of some sheep and then differential calculus happened.

Approximation was discovered when rounding up sheep.

Four students go to the washroom at the same time, lining up at the stand-up facilities.

The medical student finishes first and walks to the sink and begins thoroughly washing his hands. He explains that doctors need very clean hands.

The physics student walks out without going near the sink. He explains that physicists do not urinate on their hands.

The engineer also breezes out, explaining that engineers do not need clean hands.

The arts student is still standing at the urinal, looking at the chrome fixture and saying "Shiny!"

Speaking of Nokia phones, my current (and only) cell phone is a Nokia 3285 that I bought in about 2002. I just replaced the battery for the first time about a year ago. At my usual usage rate, I charge the phone about three times a year, whether it needs it or not.

Oh, my. But that cats! think of the cats!

Seriously though, I tried to make Fish Sim for Cats compatible with Windows phones [and Windows tablets]. I did my due diligence and gave it a good try. It did not go well. I gave up in the end.

Fish Sim for Cats is a high quality fish simulator for cats! Available for free, without ads, on Apple IOS (App Store), Android (Google Play Store), and Amazon (Apps and Games).

You did a Fish Sim for Android? Ok, I'm going to install it on my Android TV box which is connected to my TV and see how my cat responds to it. If something interesting happens, I will try to film it and post it in the Kitten lovers thread. :smile:

I didn't make it officially compatible with Android TV. :frown: For now it's just phones and tablets. It would probably work, but I don't have a platform to test it on.

[Edit: the app requires touch-screen and orientation sensor capabilities. I'm not certain, but I don't think all Android TVs have a built in orientation sensor, so it probably won't work on those.]

I will let you know when I've tested it. But I also remembered that the last time I used the Android box (which is a https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_555832.html, which was remarkably good considering the low price) it got stuck in a "boot loop" after I installed some new, maybe too system intrusive, software. So I may have to reinstall the firmware on it which I've done before with updated firmware from the vendor.

Just don't use it too often. Hunting without ever catching anything can be frustrating for the cat.

Unfortunately, the 11th digit is a 6, so you need to guess if you should round up the 10th or not.

How mean. Most people will need internet to look it up to get 10 digits, so they will run around in circles, as for the internet access they need internet. And although the password is also kind of circular, it isn't cyclic. Mean. And the 11th digit is a 5.

Maybe they could order a fruit tart or something while they think about it.

I guess this password was the reason why Archimedes, Euler, Leibniz, Wallis, and so many more tried to find a representation. They all must have been customers of this shop.

Sounds plausible. You'd have to wonder who the proprietor was, though.
