They're not worth it!

What's weirder is that the bottom two are 6 feef apart
Americans will use anything but metric
I wouldn't touch the metric system with a 10-foof pole.
That made me laugh so hard I woke up my cats.
Or analytical geometry, for that matter.
We use decimal inches in machine shops, that's a metric system.
SI though, that's what gets people mad.
Except for some reason you didn't come up with your own units for:
- electric potential difference
- electric charge
- electric current
- resistance
- capacitance
- inductance
- magnetic flux
- amount of substance
- radioactivity
- ...
Is adapting a standard instead of making your own something negative?

What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?
But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.
12 minutes or so in, they say "as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially." I thought "actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever", and finished the video intending to get on with my life.
My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. "HR have proven themselves to be fools!" "I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again." "Once again non-technical people talking out their asses."
HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
HR should have replied with a "this was a test on how not to be an asshole and you've all failed. You must take the whole training again"
It's a feature not a bug
Sounds like an HR thing to do frfr
Wow, cool HR. Why did the engineers send their complaints to your inbox though?
Reply all
"Reply all" button should only be available if you have completed the training on not using it for every email, and you have to renew it twice a year
Ah I see.
But did they use reply all to apologize to all the recipients about their email?

It is SO HORRIBLE Stephen Hawking got on his feet.
*got on his feef
And out of his grave
It's a tetrahedron, duh
How many dimensions is that picture though?
The blokes are obviously at different heights, that's all.
how much is a "feef"
Let's do the math. Let's name the points A B C D, where A and D are separated by 6 feef, and all other point pairs by 6 feet. There fore, ABC and BCD are equilateral triangles of side length 6 feet. This leaves two possibilities for the distance between A and D: either they are the same point, or their distance is twice the height of an equilateral triangle with 6 feet side. Since A and D are clearly distinct, we'll go with the latter. That makes the distance AD to be equal to 6 feet times the square root of three, giving a value of sqrt(3) feet for one feef.
Thank you, ChatGPT
1 feef is 12 finches
Kid named tetrahedron
Why? The diagram is from above and they're shifted in 3 dimensions. Now draw that. I'm not asking. DRAW IT!
If the 6 feet is from head to head, couldn't you flip two people upside down?

No one is mentioning that the math doesn't work out if the staight line distances are constraints then the diagonals are not correct, and vice versa.
i think that is the joke
That's what the whole comment section is discussing. It's the point of the post

Oh! come on! How hard is it to social distance in a tetrahedron?
