This doesn’t explain why a truck can drive at double digits mph with the trailer up.

That’s like the most basic safety mechanism the manufacturer could implement.

It is!

That’s the fun thing about vacous truths: They allow both a statement and its inverse to be true.

This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:

But you’re kind of right that it’s not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman’s name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.

Also, you don’t necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:

FALSE => [statement]

Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.

Yes there is:

Only men like nothing.

Explanation:

“Only XYZ like ABC” is equivalent to: “Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ.”

Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: “Everyone who likes nothing is also a man” is true because the “Everyone who likes nothing” part results in 0 people. And it’s true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It’s also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.

But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating “Only man like XYZ” is true.

I don’t even know what basil is because I could not care less about learning English spice names nor do I care enough to look it up. I’m guessing it’s those eatable leaves though because those are called Basilikum in German. The name also allows English basil “enjoyers” to make a pun and we all know this is a sign of a correct translation.

Mostly agreed except for grub. Systemd-boot ftw

I mean it used to be called gummiboot. What more do you want?
