I think that makes the joke better

[–] Peace@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

It does, maybe that was the original joke and OP made an error when providing context

Nightbirds (Vanescaves) are a weird bunch. We got all these crackheads and methheads then we randomly have hummingbirds and swifts on the list.

When you know the dimensions of the legs of a right triangle but not the tangent of the angle opposite the height, you have to utilize the formula "height = tangent(ϴ) * width".

Its the HAWK TUAH rule.

  • Height
  • And
  • Width
  • Known,
  • Tangent
  • Unknown,
  • Apply
  • H / W = tan(ϴ)

Stop misleading people with Wikipedia articles you made.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Haha, I wish I was responsible for this one.

Hauk Tuah was a pharaoh, little is known about him due to much of the writings documenting his short existence have been lost. However the few writings surviving indicates he spat on criminals' thang as a form of punishment which was considered worse that death, and one person during his short period in power have convinced him to spit on a thang belonged to a man who wrongdoed him, thus the saying "Hauk Tuah, spit on his thang!"

Oh, okay. Interesting. Do you have an idea of why the internet cares so much? Considering most of us have been lubricating penises with our saliva for hundreds of thousands of years.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dammit. I’ll watch the video.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

for hundreds of thousands of years.

The comedic sound of cartoon chewing tobacco.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Don't assume that I've heard of anything. For all I know the creator of this meme coined the phrase(?) "hawk tuah".
