GRANDMASTER DS #18 @ 7/1/2018 17:11 THEY DONT SAY 1,2,3,4 I DECLARE A FINGER WAR! You need a lesson in Venn diagrams. Next you are going to tell me a square can't be a rectangle because it is a square.

You mean just as a thumb and finger can both be a digit and yet still have separate distinctions?

And just like "giving you the finger" doesn't exclude the other fingers from being fingers.

In fact, I will blow your mind and tell you a square is also a rhombus. It's almost like when you classify things they can fall under different definitions.


Anyone want to tell me when they learned "eight-finger and two thumb" typing? Pretty sure I've only ever been taught ten-finger, but I'm guessing DS learned differently from me. I guess I need another person and their extra two fingers to type.

I made this helpful diagram to show that a thumb can be a thumb, a finger, and a digit amazingly all at the same time!, while also not being a toe or the 21st digit.

Hey vlady, is this a finger up? 👍

Considering giving someone "a finger up" is to help them, I would say no. But neither would be flipping you off; it's not because a finger isn't involved, it's because it gives no help.

Next poll, is a thumb a driveway?

As far as princess bride goes, I'm not sure how you could miss the obvious wifom in the very movie that invented wifom.

WIFOM represents making a decision between two unknowns based on what you know of the person you are dealing with. So it does not apply to a situation like this which has a clear scientific set up. But WIFOM does show that Princess Bride is never wrong.

Vlady, please keep your 21st digit out of this.

If I didn't include it, then I would have been accused of ignoring it.

And you don't ignore the 21st digit.

21st digit? I learn a lot from these polls ...

You can't have never heard that before?

I can't have

Next you'll tell me you've never been to a mall and walked into a Spencers.

I think I've done both of those! It's been awhile though.
