Ceci n'est pas une figue.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

They're both fig 1

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Are these sig figs, or just the regular type?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Hrmf, figures.

Banana for scale?

Does this mean that everything else labeled as fig has been a lie?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Not a lie per se, more of a fib.

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

Damn, black and white figs look like demons. The paradolia is real.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Damn you.

How do I know it's not two halves of the same fig?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

The shape and internal structure are different.

Do you have a justified true belief they aren't the same fig?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

fig 0.5 and fig 1.0

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Because... Science!
