an acquaintance of mine had class today. Somebody asks the professor whether a particular theorem is proven. He responds “when somebody tells you something, like say [squeaky voice] ‘I love you’, that may or may not be true. It may be an attempt at manipulation, or the result of the influence of drugs. But a theorem, that’s proven. You know that’s true.”
this isnt funny enough for cookie thread but i will post it here

No it’s not very funny. I don’t think it was good enough to post in cookie thread to be quite honest

Pretty sure Chomps is in the other one.
Easy to get confused, though.

See I think stories about something funny a professor said in class are an oversaturated genre often reliant on, just, like, a subversion of professionalism that’s not nearly as unexpected in a story as it is in a class. When you’re in the class it’s surprising, but when somebody’s starting a story with “well my professor in class said” then you know the exact tone of the anecdote already 100%, and this one’s no exception, so it’s not htat funny.
The funny part of it is that it was in response to an extremely obvious question (“is this theorem proven”, which is a poorly-formed question, “proven” is part of the definition of “theorem”), but that’s not something that’s immediately obvious, so for the majority of readers this story would come across as boring and trite, and would be more suited to a more personal conversation with somebody who would definitely get the joke than a general cookie thread.

So I really wish Atlas had posted it somewhere else. Really questioning Atlas’s judgement here
