That would work if chips were made out of fries.

Looks like those are crisps and not chips.

Crisps could theoretically be made from fries, chips cannot.

In order to be a chip, it literally has be a "chip" of a potato.

Crisps can be made from anything.

Don't Google cow chips...

I'm a little confused here. Wouldn't be the chips in second position since it's a plane?

  • Volume => ax^3^
  • Surface => a3x^2^
  • Line => a6x

So then the integral would look like...?

I fought that thing in Pikmin

I'm gonna pitch that a potato is a volume (3D), a chip is a surface (2D), and a fry is a line (1D), and so fries and chips should be flipped.

Wrong:

f(x) = potato^3 = 3d potato

f'(x) = 3 potato^2 = 2d potato chips x3

f''(x) = 6 potato = 1d potato fries x6

Counterpoint:

I can derive/make fries from potatoes and pringles from fries

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

f(x) = Potatoes

f'(x) = Potato mash

f''(x) = Pringles

FIFY

I feel like I've seen this meme before, it's very derivative
