actually, technically it would be a trinary system, if we’re looking at it like a spectrum, and if we’re looking at it like a spectrum, i think it’s funnier to conceive of it like a circle. Or to get the point across, like those political alignment charts.
All they did was to add another bit. From 1 to 10
i think it’s funnier to conceive of it like a circle.
Unfortunately, conception is only possible when combining certain parts of that circle.
it can only make a full circle, when all parts are put together, therefore problem solved.
It’s always hilarious and frustrating when people who don’t understand a topic try to disprove it. This is the same energy as flat earthers pointing to the horizon and going “See!?!” or anti-vaxxers pointing out people who still get sick.
Anyone who thinks this logic is compelling should actually crack a book. I’d recommend Judith butlers gender trouble, but this sort of meme is peak dunning kruger. Literally too ignorant of a topic to actually argue against it.
Wow you are stupid, aren’t you? It’s called a joke and not a debate.
It’s always hilarious when people take jokes as if they’re literal
Sir, this is a shitpost.
I think it reads like a joke made by a nonbinary person
Whatever, just wash your hands.
And don’t talk to me. I’d rather be surrounded by twelve “women” (i.e. trans men) in the men’s room (or even just women) than one cis guy who insists on having a conversation with me.
I’m not there to make friends.
Never understood this. Standing at a urinal and someone walks up and starts talking to me, like no dude shut up
I’ve had people doing it when I’m in the stall next to them. Leave me alone with my thoughts while I’m shitting, please.
But where else am I going to get the winning lotto numbers?
Have you considered your local tarot card reader?
How do you know they’re not in the toilet stall next to yours?
This has literally never happened to me, where do you guys live lol

Well, you started in the middle of a conversation, so I’m afraid it does not. Haha.
So anyway, then I says to Maybel, I says… what was I saying again?
Male, Female, and a Secret Third Thing
Ah, a comment to test mods’ susceptibility
Neuchacho
More like Man, Woman and 60 plus different other categories even good sports in the first two categories don’t tend to be bothered to learn about.
It’s not that it’s secret it’s that if you don’t ask for specifics we assume you don’t care, don’t know there are specifics or you really just don’t want to know.
Us Enbyfolk respecting that you probably don’t need to be burdened with actual specifics or interpreting that knowledge as being additional social pressure is us being polite.
Transphobia on lemmy with 400 upvotes… this website is getting worse every day
How, exactly, is this transphobic?
The same way everyone is a fascist, or racist, or a bigot, or whatever else. Other people’s feelings will decide what you are, and you’ll like it.

I’m really curious how you see this as transphobic.
Something something hammer…
Something something nail.
It’s pretty obviously a dumb joke.
Even if it was completely serious, it just becomes a dumb statement. Its just showing how everything can be reworded to be presented as a binary choice like this. It doesn’t actually say anything bad about people for identifying any sort of way.
For example, there are a lot of species birds, but they can all be described by the binary choices of: Is Crow, or Not Crow. Still, its very obvious to anyone with a brain that that’s not the most helpful way to classify things.
i think the person represented in the op is just being a goofball and not actually transphobic
What up my hexadecimals
That’s just like Hangul, but for computer numbers.
Once you’re quite good at reading hexadecimals, you no longer need to look up binary, though you still need decimal-hexadecimal conversion, which is slower.

I literally had my account on Reddit banned for saying that non-binary is discriminatory to hermaphrodites.
Actually I think you got banned for having freezer temp IQ
Pretty impressive actually to have a negative IQ.
Quite a specimen really
…but it’s not? and I thought the term intersex was preferred
Probably because “hermaphrodite” is considered a slur to intersex people.
Also intersex and non-binary are not remotely the same thing. Some Intersex people are non-binary but a lot of them have binary identities. It’s a different axis.
How do you figure that? Also “hermaphrodite” is not the accurate term - that would refer to an organism which creates both gametes, which humans never do, even intersex ones.

Math.round(gender);
Error: Math.round() failed - 'gender' is not a single value but a multi-dimensional spectrum! Use Math.matrixRound() instead, where each value is rounded individually. Note: Rounding 'gender' to a single value is deprecated and not supported in modern libraries.
Fuck Aristotel
Fuck him yourself coward
If only I was a dog
I love when people say they hate Hippocrates on social media
You could’ve said that it’s Zena’s paradox
There are only 2 numbers
- 0/1
- all the other numbers
deleted by creator
All the other numbers can be written wit 0/1
Counterpoint: Floating-point inaccuracies.
Counter-counterpoint:
Display the exact value of pi with 64 digits in any base N number system.
In that case decimal is flawed too, 0.6667 or any such approxination doesnt exactly equal 2/3. It technically happens in any number system where you are dividing by a prime that isnt part of either the base or the number being divided
Counterpoint 1:
0.6̇
(Unicode does not support numbers with overdots correctly)Counterpoint 2:
2/3
It won’t work with irrational numbers, or transcendental numbers even if you allow things like √2.
But honestly I have no idea what the point of this conversation even is
deleted by creator
Floating point is a consequence of physical computerr being finite not using binary.
Counter-counter-counterpoint: pi in base-pi can be written in one digit
Define “all the other numbers”. Do we include only natural numbers? Or all instegers? Or even rational numbers? Do we include imaginary numbers? How about complex numbers? Orbetter go for quaternions?
Define "all the other numbers
If its a number and it isn’t exactly 0 or 1.
1 is the loneliest
We all live in a state of quantum flux.
You don’t know whether you’re male or female, unless you look into the mirror, or somebody observes you?
Edit: That checks out, actually. I forget my gender all the time that I’m not thinking about it.
