1 Dumbass = 299 792 458 m/s

Thanks, God. We'll spend the next 3000 years obsessing over that.

that is the linear rate at which dumbassery expands, yes. also light, but that's because as yet tachyons remain hypothetical/fictional and i figure dumbassyons would travel faster than light were it possible.

like how sometimes you can look at someone or something and think "some dumbass is going to do some dumbass shit here soon" even though the dumbassery has not yet begun.

Is it "dumbass" (a single word) or is it "dumb/ass" (relation)?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So dumb/ass = c

Multiply both sides by ass.

Dumb = c*ass

Hmmmmmmmm

Nah, C is C. Who cares about the current hot measurements of space and time on a little rock, outside of us?
