Alright, I have no idea what this means.

I'm not sure about the top one. He could be saying everyone is living a life of sin (like 402 said).

The bottom one is definitely saying he lives an odd life because that's literally an odd function. i.e.

f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

From the placement of the axis in the first one that function is odd too.

First function is a sine wave, commonly written sin().

Second function is a cubic ("square"?) polynomial.

Joke:

Everyone else's life: Sin.

My life: Square.

Edit: as pointed out, it's not really square

I got "everyone else's life has ups and downs, mine is just up, up, UP!" from the graphs 🤷‍♂️

Same, i thought it was about having a manic episode or something

It's not square, though, but cubed. x^2 looks very different. And 2 isn't an odd number (see title.)

But if the lower diagram was x^2 (and the axis were labelled correctly) I'd say that's a proper joke 😃

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha yeah it was the only way I could make sense of it...

[–] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

I like your joke better 😆 However... If the x-axis was time, you'd have to explain the negative part to me. Or stop at least at -9 months...

[–] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The axis aren't labeled properly. That's likely why we can't make sense of the diagrams.

Everyone elses life oscillates over time between positive and negative... OP's life's Y is X cubed. And it somehow contains big blue dots on the whole numbers... They consider that odd. And I'd agree.
