    Does no one understand this is a joke, talking about parallel lines and mathematical proofs is pointless when its a fucking meme

      It’s not pointless because you can laugh about a joke and then learn something about math.

      They don’t cancel each other out. They can be at the same place and still work on their own.

      We do understand it’s a meme and a joke. Just not a very good one, because one can easily poke holes into it.

        That’s not how jokes work.

            No, it depends on if you have humor. Yes, humor is individual, I know. But people without tend to over analyze and try to pick the joke apart, often missing the point.

            A joke doesn’t have to pass every technicality. You thinking it’s bad if it doesn’t, only applies to your humor (or lack there of).

              Ooh, watch out, the humor police is here! Everything the deem funny is humor and if you don’t find funny what they do you don’t even have humor! Wee-ooo wee-ooo!

          It’s not about taking it seriously. The meme wants to be a technically correct-meme, where a thing fulfills another things definition and thereby could be deemed the other thing - which creates the absurdity the meme lives off of. But in order for that kind of humour, there cannot be obvious holes in the logic of the joke and these obvious holes are very present in this meme.

            Any maths joke of this type will have obvious holes in it, that’s just how maths works
