How do I know it's not two halves of the same fig?

[–] tabris@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

[–] zarqie@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

fig 0.5 and fig 1.0

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The shape and internal structure are different.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Because... Science!

Do you have a justified true belief they aren't the same fig?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does this mean that everything else labeled as fig has been a lie?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Not a lie per se, more of a fib.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Hrmf, figures.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Banana for scale?

[–] JayJay@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Damn, black and white figs look like demons. The paradolia is real.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

They're both fig 1

Are these sig figs, or just the regular type?

Ceci n'est pas une figue.
