The existence of Norway implies...

@dgar

these are logic gates

also known as fjords

⬆️ @benroyce @dgar

#Slartibartfast (designer of planets) would be so proud of these gates.

[Wikipedia:] His favourite part of the job is creating coastlines, the most notable of which are the fjords found on the coast of Norway on planet Earth, for which he won an award. While trapped on prehistoric Earth, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect see Slartibartfast's signature deep inside a glacier in ancient Norway.

@dgar Wait, are these them there “gatekeepers” them internets is always complaining about?!
@dgar Two days too late
😭
🇳🇴

@dgar

I hate to be a wet blanket, but doesn't this gag call for the first flag to be a NOR gate?

@Professor_Stevens
Only if you’re a wet blanket.
🤭

@dgar

Trust you to wring that out of me.

@dgar

However, to avoid that, let's complete the set with this one:

@Professor_Stevens
@dgar

According to Wayne's World, that last one in the list of the six gates should be named "No Way", accompanied by another one named "Way", as per the attached figures.

@Professor_Stevens @dgar I’d love to see the truth table for that. Head canon is that irrespective of the inputs, the output is “whatever”, putting the Boo into Boolean.

@dgar See this confirms the existance of the Haddaway gate!

It checks if love hurts you anymore.

@wandrecanada @dgar I think that's the first quantum computing joke I ever hear, and it's amazing.
@dgar Wait... this is the correct NORway flag 😂

@me_ @dgar

That I’m enough of a hardware nerd to get this joke makes me feel a significant sense of betrayal to my software developer side.

@me_ @dgar I was wondering that.
@dgar Trying to think of a way to use a junction in a logic circuit is hurting my brain...
@dgar Very appropriate for the weekend of Syttende Mai.

@dgar

not only does NORWAY exist, it is functionally complete.

that's right: you can create all those other countries with different combinations of NORWAYS 🤩

here @thor have fun [click to view]

@dgar Knorway.

If there is a knife, there's a Knorway. I don't know where, possibly the other side of some fairy door near a circle of stones, populated by trolls, changelings, and all the people who were stolen by fairies as children, but it is there.

(shouting to a local) "Hey, if we keep following this trail will it take us over the mountain?"

"Nay! Tis Knorway you want to go!"

(whispers to companion) "What did he say?"

"I don't know, but I think he advised turning back."

@dgar The existence of Sweden implies the existence of Turnipn
@freequaybuoy @dgar The existence of Germany implies the existence of Gerfew.
@mrdk @dgar The existence of Japan implies the existence of Japot
@freequaybuoy @dgar When gambling, can I somehow win the jackpan? 🤔
@freequaybuoy @dgar The existence of a curfew implies the existence of a curmany (which is a time without restrictions, when many people are on the streets).
@dgar I thought I knew every electronic engineering joke. 😀
@dgar Little known fact: You can build any given country out of nothing but NANDways.

@dgar I’ll admit I don’t know much about Scandinavian countries, but their flags are a big plus!

@dgar Very logical (said my wife).
