This is useful for those trying to convey more precisely the amount of fucks they give.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

And relative fucks
That's mainly limited to the American South.
You’re thinking of the fucks relatives, or also known in scientific circles as The Alabamian Constant (TAC for short).
Nice try but no proof yet if the fuckery field is irrational.
Oh, there's definitely irrational fucks. I don't see a proof that there's indeed a fuckomorphism between C and F, though.
Nah, just look at the folks over in HR. Irrational fucks to a person. Though I suppose all that means is that there are some irrational elements in the set, not necessarily that it's isomorphic to the field of complex numbers. So can we diagonalize fuckery somehow...?

So what’s their opinion on the holy fuck?
The holy trinity.
Fucking God Damn, Jesus Fucking Christ and Holy Fuck.
No idea, but I do see plenty of evil fucks every day on the news.
This does not even scratch the surface of the possible uses and variations of fuck.
∅ = how many i have left to give.
What in the fucking fuck?! is a good one, too. Has some real what in tarnation? energy to it.
I also learned that FUCKING GOD!! is my go-to expletive when I spilled some icecream and my daughter (3 at the time) started yelling it in the car.
'What in the fucking fuck' implies that fucking is an injective function over the field of fucks.

Would plain old "What the Fuck" imply a null set?
Holy fuck?
Which implies the existence of a non god affected fucks.
Given the overwhelming prevalence of holy fucks relative to damned fucks, does this suggest sanctified beings get laid more?
Idk, there's so much talk about virgins in heaven, you'd think it's the opposite!

No prove of irrational fucks yet tho
Ok, everyone but me seems to get it, so I'll ask. I get everything but the last bit. What does "isomorphic with the complex field" mean? I think I know what isomorphic means from some dabbling I've done in category theory.
In means you can map every element bijectively to one from the complex field AND addition and multiplication can be performed in either field without leading to contractions, i.e. a+b=c <=> f(a)+f(b)=f(a+b)=f(c) and equivalent for multiplication. This is the part that the meme fails to consider, because nowhere is addition or multiplication for this novel field defined.
I'll give this some attention when time permits because this does not make things clearer, lol.
I'll start with what a field is and a complex field 🤞
ELI5: it means that for every number there's a matching fuck and vice versa.

"i do not give a single fuck" implies an additive identity fuck, and "I don't give two fucks" implies a multiplicative identity fuck. That's a start at least!

I fucking love this
fan-fucking-tastic
Okay but is the fuck a monoid in the category of endofunctors ?
Euler's fuck formula.
The fuck transcends our ability to capture its essence
I’ve always loved ladies who are smarter / better educated than me.
Fucks can also have a social hierarchy, as evidenced by the phrase:
"I don't give a single solitary fuck"
These are are simply unitary fucks. Matrix fucks with eigenvalue absolute value of 1. Surprisingly useful for quantum computing applications.
I see this comment section is full of various operations defined on fuckery. I don't think they form a field or even a ringi
I actually tend to treat fucks like the constant C in calculus. Ideally it should cancel out entirely and you should give the minimal amount of fucks in all of your final answers.
So what's fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck?
About tree fiddy
The real question is - is fuck Turing-complete?
It's actually a beautiful language for arguing about computability because of how similar it is to a theoretical turning machine in that it possesses a read/write head that can move left and right on an infinite band. It's also incredibly simple to simulate using any other language of choice, including assembly and heck, even raw logic gates.
In this essay I will explain why Brainfuck should be the first language taught to computer science majors.
I prefer to solve the Hodge conjecture
