Shirt.Woot

Good timing. Apophis zooms by today, right?

Good way to put off finishing your homework and high school and well everything else.

THAT explains it!

I'm going to wait till someone explains this shirt to me. I kinda get the gist of it, but its still confusing to me.

...not a clever girl, this one.

Ah, I think this is the first time I've seen a shirt with a T-Rex making effective use of its arms. Not much use against asteroids but fine for algebra.

Damn lefties, ruining the world for the rest of us…

OH MY GOD! A Tyrannosaurus actually drawn with TWO fingers instead of three? I'm so proud!

Divide by zero = bad things happen. Just look what happened to Mr. Rex here.


knowyourmeme defines it as such:

To Divide by Zero is an internet slang term describing an action that leads to an epic failure or theoretically unlikely disaster, such as an earth-shattering apocalypse or a wormhole in the time-space continuum.

I really wanted to get this because of the math joke, but then I found out that it's a meme. I don't know if I want to get a meme shirt. Does anyone know how popular this particular meme is?

Is it just me, or is the write-up playing on Sokal (1996) "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"?

If so, a tip of my hat to the most obscure reference I've ever seen in advertising copy. If not... uh, sorry; I'll see myself out.

I have to say, I really love the color palette of this shirt. Green and orange on brown looks great, and it's perfect for someone like me who wears a lot of earth tones. I'd love to see more shirts in these sorts of colors!

T Rex, dude. You broke the universe.

Huh. At first I was absolutely annoyed with how inaccurate his posture is represented but then I realized I was critiquing a picture of a dinosaur writing on a chalkboard.

I do the same thing with superhero movies though: people with superpowers? No problem. Incorrect physics? Stop right there!

It was ruined before we Lefties got hold of it! (wink)(wink)

It's not a meme like "oh, right, there was that huge stupid video where the guy divided by zero and EVERYONE saw it and got sick of it." It's more a meme like if someone wants to say "don't do that, horrible things might happen," they might use a divide-by-zero gif as a shortcut, that sort of thing. I believe my favorite is the Spiderman one:

MOD: yeah, sorry, that's a no-no word. feel free to find a not-so-explicit version.

A million thanks to all, I am glad that you like my first collab with the great Pijaczaj.

Now I would like to ask you to please not do any division between zero today, if that leave for tomorrow :D

Finally, we know what they did with those teensy weensy arms!

"divide by zero" is very popular. I think anyone who's ever been on the internet will get it. Even if they don't get it, it's still a pretty cool shirt.

infinity.

IMPRESSIVE textures on everything. It's so detailed that Jiffy Lube is trying to charge an hourly rate!

This exactly. I like the nerdy shirts(Like this one :D), not so much the mindless meme shirts (let's face it, memes are creepy. Everyone starts saying the same things over and over and you end up not using your brain to make your own sentences.)

In for one. I don't suppose the artist could post a link to an HD version. I would love to print this off as a demotivational poster for my office!

Congrats guys! , great work.

I'm a software developer. All to familiar with divide by zero errors in code. Hehe. And I love dinosaurs. I think I am gonna have to buy one of these!

This reminds me an awful lot of the Saturday Morning Breakfast Ceral book.

Glad you like it 8)

You can't divide by 0. Do it on a calculator and it will say Divide by 0 error. You can't take nothing and divide it into parts.

It's all fun and games until somebody goes extinct.

This would have been PERFECT when I was a middle-school Math teacher. Still buying it.

but can you take something (say 5) and divide it by nothing?

oops, where did all the parts go?

Not to pick a fight, but I'd like to point out that Schrodinger's Cat is also a meme (which is any idea that sticks in people's minds and spreads from mind to mind, not just an internet trend). I think "dividing by zero is a bad thing" is a meme more in the real meaning of 'meme' than being a meaningful internet trend.

The limit as the denominator goes to zero is infinity. Otherwise you just can't do it.
