On page 222 of Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Lydia Bennett declares that Wickham "never cared three straws about [Mary King]." The more commonly used phrasing in 2025 is "didn't give two shits." Given that this novel was published in 1813, please calculate the conversion of straws to shits, adjusted for inflation.

Does anyone wanna see the time travel math I made during my college physics class instead of listening before I dropped out?

I really hate the trope where the Smart Character™ starts doing math on the fly and says shit like "divide by pi, calculate the hypotenuse, carry the one," because that's what dumb people think smart people sound like

Me: *fully engrossed in solving fake math for fun*

Boss: *coming from behind me* what the hell are you working on?

Me: time travel math

Boss: what?

Me: *shows him my equation* time travel math

Boss: . . . OK?

The time travel math in question

Fake Math

[sparks-0f-insanity]

So here I am walking to math class minding my own business and I'm walking behind this guy who's like 40 I guess and he's in my math class. But I guess he doesn't know I'm behind him because just as we are about to go in the class room he fucking stops and let's out the biggest fart I have ever heard. Like he's lucky that wasn't shit that came out because it sounded wet. And he looks at me and was like uh. Sorry. And went off to wherever he went and I just scurried into the classroom and hid in the back corner and tried not to pee myself laughing.
