Total pedantry, but in that scene I don't see why she just couldn't say a quick sentence about what she was actually solving. Like, I know she was distracted about X or Y but it could have been cool just to do something like "the denominator approaches zero so the limit doesn't exist!" at the end of that thought.

Don't search for "sqrt girls", you'll be gravely disappointed.

The mean person has one ovary and one testicle.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 3 days ago

Wouldn't that make it slightly less than 1 because there are men missing testicles and women missing ovaries?

The limit to disappointment does not exist.

Do you want to watch a movie about the most average people on earth? Sounds boring as hell.
