The reason this doesn’t work is because the “more” amd “less” competitors work on different things entirely. These are not mathematically correct statements in any way.
The sequence is completely correct until the point it decides that more ◦ less ≡ less.
Yes. But it would be more correct to include what the “more” and “less” are comparing to so that it would be immediately obvious why the last sentences is wrong.
The amount of cheese is the same
The holes just inflate it
Just like when you blow air into a balloon.
More holes = less cheese is the error.
More cheese = more holes is the error. Since the type of cheese isn’t specified, it would only apply to a small number of cheeses.
There is a cheese where the production got so good that they had no holes anymore so they added something to the cheese to get the “typical” holes back XD
But sadly forgot which cheese it was exactlf
Forget no more!

This is why I don’t trust math. It steals cheese.
Less cheese = fewer holes
Fewer holes = more cheese
Less cheese = more cheese
less cheese = more cheese = less cheese = more cheese → ∞: infinite cheese glitch
And infinite holes glitch
I thought that was a knife.
cheese = cheese <=> more = less
Looks, there has gotta be a divide by zero in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.
But if I divide by less,
Cheese = more/less cheese
Which seems legit

More cheese = I eat more cheese = more missing cheese = less cheese
Im bored and tired, so im going to write my reasoning out as I attempt to fall asleep.
More cheese = more holes
More cheese (volune) = more holes (volume)
More holes (percentage) = less cheese (percentage)
This cheese is refering yo the material, where the first is referring to the object. Different variables entirely. The first is a group that explicitly includes holes, while the latter explicitly doesn’t.
More cheese (volume) = less cheese (percentage)
Idk man im tired.
its because the meme sneakily saying more holes (volume) = more holes (percentage), then using transitivity of equality. This equality isn’t allowed since the units doesn’t match.
Here’s how I think is the best way to word it:
There are really two types of “more holes”
The first is the number of holes. Double the volume of cheese and you double the number of holes.
The second is the density of holes. Say the cheese has 1 hole per cubic inch. Double it to 2 holes per inch and you have twice the empty volume
The first phrase increases the number of holes by merely increasing the volume of cheese.
The second phase increases the number of holes by increasing their density.
Cheese is parceled out by weight, so holes are irrelevant.
There’s these “ontological arguments”, which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. 🫠
One of the classics goes roughly like this:
1. There is good and bad. (Which is one hell of an axiom.)
2. A creature can exist which unifies all good properties. (Yet another hell of an axiom.)
3. Because this creature has all these good properties, it would be even gooder, if it did exist.
4. Since this creature unifies all good properties and its existence is itself a good property, it therefore must exist.
These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to “prove” all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. 🙃
As far as I can tell, the arguments don’t actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are…

I usually heard the BS from a creationist perspective.
The universe cannot exist without a creator … which is also a hell of an assumption to turn into an axiom.
and people say religion doesn’t harm people… It obliterates their ability to logic.

No cat has 5 legs, but a cat has 4 legs more than no cat, so a cat has 9 legs
Cat has 9 legs and 9 lives, 1 leg per life. Human has 2 legs. Humans have 2 lives
Not surprising coming from a cat, not its field of expertise. Ask a mouse and it will explain you the difference between intensive and extensive properties of the cheese.
This is a denominator numerator trick.
Dude is tapping into Cantor’s infinite empty set and doesn’t know it!

yes cat, cheese with holes is less cheese than cheese without holes of the same dimensions ( you know what i mean lemmy)
