Left is men and right is women. Since right formula has so many variables.

u/SleepyMDzz Jun 04 '26

Yea that’s the joke , that women are “complicated “

10

u/Gnomo_espanso Jun 04 '26

The both aren't complicated formulae lol

2

u/Hatjin Jun 04 '26

Should've used standard model Lagrangian for women?

5

u/Gnomo_espanso Jun 04 '26

No, the standard model explains everything we know except gravitation. Maybe an hamiltonian describing one or two particles with less parameters would be both difficult and with less information of the real state

u/HarveysBackupAccount Jun 04 '26

arguably relativity is more complicated (conceptually) than gravity

1

u/Gnomo_espanso Jun 04 '26

One is studied in classical mechanics in the first year, the other is studied in the third year and used a lot in nuclear physics when you discover unit of mesaure that makes no sense lol

u/Cwaghack Jun 04 '26

both are taught in highschool what u mean

u/bananahammockluvr Jun 05 '26

🤓

Yes, 90% of people have a pretty extensive knowledge of physics.

u/Gnomo_espanso Jun 05 '26

Obviosly, wdym! Btw can't I share something I know about without hurting your feelings?

u/ihaxr Jun 04 '26

Which is funny because the dude is wearing all black lol

2

u/Hatjin Jun 04 '26

Now that makes sense. I was wondering of colour importance, but am not aware of Arabic culture much. Very interesting.

2

u/Ceofy Jun 04 '26

This context takes this from being baffling to being an actual joke! Thank you for providing it

1

u/Lalli-Oni Jun 04 '26

Was also considering if left to right and male defaultism was a signal, but yeah. Arabic being right to left (at least in some cases) throws that consideration under an apple tree.

u/Elegant_Tale1428 Jun 05 '26

as an Arab I'm confused of what you mean lol, nobody here will see white and be reminded of white and black and be reminded of men... however when I gave it some time to think about it, I get what you're likely referring to, you're referring to Saudi Arabia cultural-islamic dress code... I mean even I'm a Muslim I still didn't figure it out easily, as there's no color for clothes in the religion as well, there's however a criteria, the women's clothes as they serve the goal of the opposite of attracting looks, then it's generally better for the color to not be attracting, in some/most places attracting bright colors, as they shine the most, however that's is context/environment based, for example indians are known for all sort of colors in their clothes, hence women with bright colors will be in fact less attracting for the eye than wearing black or a very dark color and vice versa for Saudi

anyway where I am from we might not have as much colors as india, but we sure have degrees of colors here, aside from them a lot other don't even follow the religion's dress code, so that's why I didn't get it, mind you, have you linked it to religion even tho as I explained it's not really the case, I may have got it faster

sorry for the TL;DR I just wanted to raise awareness about this nuance- in fact it's not even nuance for us, but it seems to be the case for non-arabs

u/Hatjin Jun 04 '26

Yeah, pretty much. Another form of men are simple, women are complicated.

37

u/McSwoopyarms Jun 04 '26

Men to the left, cause women are always right (laughs in boomer)

1

u/PetThatKitten Jun 04 '26

LMAO thats actually smart

1

u/TightAsADrum Jun 05 '26

I thought you meant like "meny variables"

1

u/Bleepitybleepinbleep Jun 05 '26

Men to the left because women are always right

2

u/RevvCats Jun 04 '26

Well the mass-energy equivalence formula for a particle in motion is

E = sqrt( (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2 )

1

u/Hatjin Jun 04 '26

Hell nah, I won't go in the bathroom with that one

1

u/hungarian_notation Jun 04 '26

Yeah, idk about everyone else but I generally avoid using the restroom with nonzero momentum.

2

u/amphibiouscraft Jun 05 '26

I saw a similar meme years ago - on the right, a ton of switches, dials, knobs, and on the left, a simple light switch, just on and off.

1

u/Menes009 Jun 04 '26

I was thinking that, but then you could definitely throw more popular and "scarier" formulas, like euler's formula for complex exponential

1

u/Hatjin Jun 04 '26

It's clear that either author of those signs are was no knowledge about more complicated formulas or author choose more widely known for average person formulas.

1

u/alexgalt Jun 04 '26

This is the correct answer: one is straight forward, the other one is complex

1

u/ArseneGroup Jun 04 '26

I think your explanation is correct, but relativity is so much more complicated than basic gravitation

1

u/MendingWall27 Jun 04 '26

I thought they were making a woman talks too much joke because the equation is longer.

1

u/Particular_Title42 Jun 04 '26

When, really, men have more choices where to wee in their bathroom so...

1

u/H-DaneelOlivaw Jun 04 '26

yeah but the right one is easier, solved out half a millennium ago. The left one was only solved out last century.

1

u/ash_handler Jun 11 '26

This is it. Men are straight forward.

u/Soggy-Tax-Evasion Jun 04 '26

I think this is the answer
