Do we tell him?
It’s not his?
That’s Maury’s job, not ours.
That it’s not Christmas anymore?
Line goes up. Can’t refute that!
It looks like he aged 5 years in 3 months…
As a father I can confirm this seems right
Someone’s clearly not a parent.
You are correct
Babies grow super fast.
I was talking about the dad, lol.
Oh, yeah. That makes a lot more sense! And that’s what being kept up every night for months will do to you.
To be fair, the lighting conditions are way more flattering in the first pic. When you have even lighting all over your front, it minimizes wrinkles. The second pic seems like it was taken in the evening with only one light source, making wrinkles and such far more prominent.
As a parent with a kid who didn’t sleep well I knew what you meant lol
Oh oh, don’t tell me, I’ll guess! It’s the baby, right? The baby’s not a parent?
Extrapolating

xkcd
Original post is not linearly interpolating but exponentially.
this comic uses a log scale.
If that were the case, the y-axis label would be log(NUMBER OF HUSBANDS), no?
It’s a choice, it’s not mandatory to use a log on your y axis when you plot a log.
Nice. Haven’t thought about that 🤣
(apologies for pedantry) This can’t be the case, as the zero point is visible in the graph and even gets crossed to the negatives. Log scale graphs only show positive values and place zero infinitely below the horizontal axis.
New data point in 3…2…
case oh become red bee media CEO confirmed?😱😱😱😱😱

Neatly showing why when all you have is two data points you can’t just assume the best fit function for extrapolation is a linear one.

Mind you, a surprisingly large number of political comments is anchored in exactly that logic.

It’s cold today, so much for climate change 🧐
Close, if you’d instead called it global warming I’d have bought it
Dammit, we’re on a cooking trajectory, prepare for a new ice age and the approach to absolute zero by end of year
Doubling every three months is an exponential Interpolation and not a linear one!
Good point and well spotted!
By tweaking a few parameters you can turn every base into any other base for exponentials. Just use e^(ln(b)*x)
By that definition you can turn any linear function a * x + b, “exponential” by making it e ^ln(a*x +b).
It doesn’t matter if you divide ln(2) or x by three, it’s the same thing.

PPS: Found it - it’s a “geometric progression”.

A terminology that I learned from the Terminator 2 movie. Only that was, I think, a “geometric rate”.

Chessboard and rice
One of the best mathematic stories from ancient times, IMHO,

His son’s face looks like that’s not the first time dad tell that joke.

“i’ve heard that before, dad.”

3 month milestone: baby is so over it
7.5 trillion pound coins is a lot, I wonder how much they weigh.
Bles the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
Dude what? Where did this come from?
It’s a Dune quote for when the fremen see sandworms. The guy is saying his kid will weigh several tons, so logically he will evolve into a sandworm.
Why is the wreath still there?
3 months of chronic sleep deprivation
How’re the kids?
Plot twist: the bio-dad is actually either Galactus or Ego.

If you’ve ever seen a growth chart, you know that newborns grow incredibly quickly, but the rate of growth tapers off over time. That being said, my daughter will be six feet tall by the time she’s 2:

  • How is size “big” even associated with "weigh"t in this relation?

  • What is a “pounds”?

  • Why does he mispronounce his surname?
    Could be German. It’s not pronounced precisely like “Kyle”, but close enough, and “Keil” is the German word for “wedge”.

    There’s another problem that his math missed. His baby-making rate stands at one per three months. Extrapolating that for all humans puts the population’s doubling rate at EVERY THREE MONTHS! In 10 years, there will be a lot of ~3 trillion kg kids!

    If every 10 billion people can make a new earth every year, I think we should be able to get on top of this.

    Math checks out.
