You retard. Explaining the joke makes it worse. just post the naked image.

>> No.8859335

Change the track. Eventually it will get to the point where the train will by itself kill less people when compared to just letting it be, since human lifespans do not extend to infinite. Logic would therefore have it that after travelling for the maximum number of years a human can live, the tram won't actually be killing anyone.

[math] 1+1+...+1 = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^0} = \zeta(0) = -\frac{1}{2} [/math]

since [math] -\frac{1}{2} < -\frac{1}{12} [/math], 1+1+1... is the right choice

Therefore the trolley only hits -1/12 people regardless of which track is chosen.

What is "true in some mathematical context"?
What is "the context we imply in natural speech is usually not the same as the one in which the result of -1/12 makes sense".

6 and 48 can be equal in some contexts (arithmetic in modulo 2 or modulo 8).

>> No.8859983

the real kicker is that you will kill infinite people if you run over increasingly small fractions of people
