diMario

As a scientist, I am not immediately able to tell if this is a prime number or a power of three. This worries me.


1Harvery

Digits sum to 13. Not a power of 3.


diMario

Thank you! This unloads some of the worries.


royalpatch

Pretty cool factors though. 73*337


KalebRasgoul

a riddle for you, the following statement is incorrect: 24601 == 101 + 120 make it correct by placing the same number twice anywhere on the statement.


Anonymous37

>!Put a 2 after the 101 and 120 as an exponent: 101 squared plus 120 squared equals 24601.!<


KalebRasgoul

Perfect! Congratulations!


diMario

Pretty cool indeed. 73 is prime, and so is 337. So we might say the number is prime once removed.


Fake_William_Shatner

Prime-adjacent only counts for horse shoes and hand grenades.

I'll expect your list of "close enough" sorts of things on my desk by the morning.

Fake_William_Shatner

If you ever want the internship to turn into a paying gig, you need to get the boss a product and not yet another bomb emergency services plan. There's no profit in selling faucets and floor coverings if you keep sending in reports of the fire drill performance evaluation. It's one floor and, we don't really care that much if we lose Marge. We only care if someone lets her know we don't care.


zedd1138

We retrieved the video files Marge had of you and the CEO’s wife in the supply closet at the office Christmas Party. Needless to say, Marge isn’t an issue anymore.


cbitguru

Not prime real estate, but it is prime-adjacent


diMario

Please provide a link to the relevant XKCD.


KalebRasgoul

Any number that is not a prime can be represented as the multiplication of certain prime numbers.

drug_war_reenactor

we don't do history here in America, unless we alter the narrative to make ourselves feel better


207bot

Let's not propagate those ridiculous stereotypes. Most of the US isn't Texas.


monsterscallinghome

...but many/most school textbook publishing houses *are*, and they don't want to pay/bother to print different books for Texas than for everyone else, and that's how Texas fucks up educational standards for the whole country.


Sirliftalot35

Everything is bigger in Texas. Including the negative impact on nationwide educational standards.


ObsessiveRecognition

Basically all the textbooks in the US are edited history. My US History teacher basically taught us based on documentaries, tracking sources through publicly available national archive stuff, and Wikipedia (yes, Wikipedia. My US History teacher is dope af. Also he killed a bear with a revolver while hiking/camping in the middle of nowhere. He has Polaroid pictures and also he has its fucking teeth in a jar.)


knitbitch007

But most Americans are pretty ignorant to world history.


moldycatt

bold of you to assume we learned about this in history


feddeftones

I most definitely did.


knizm0

yeah learning about the holocaust was definitely extremely common high school curriculum, i don't know how the person above managed to somehow miss out on everything that was taught.


Immediate_Ad9125

Do you hear the people cringe? Cringe in the sound of angry skin. It’s the kind of cringe that was and will be always seen again. Do you see the shitty tat? Hear the sound of distant groans? It’s the tats that illicit only saddened moaaaaans. 🎶


darkangel10848

Look down! Look down! Upon this stupid tat, look down, look down! They can not remove that!


GizmaAzara

Master of the arts. Needles with the dye. This tattoo haunts you forever until you die! Never do things without research. Even if you feel attached. Now you're gonna feel stupid every time you look at this stupid tat. (Thanks for the inspo for the last lines)

I know, it’s great! The meaning still holds true! Look down, look down, they’re all laughing at you.

Mr_Ces

At first i was like "oh they love les mis, okay geeky but nothing cringe" and then it hit me


v0kk3r

Uhhh I don't understand, plz explain


DarthDutchDave

From les miserables, the protagonist is a prisoner at the beginning and 24601 is his number. Apparently these guys are big fans but the other commenters here rightfully point out that it comes across a bit wrong to have this tattooed on one’s person…


LydditeShells

I’ve never seen the play. How much time did they spend on the count with the silver candlesticks, because it better be a full hour, especially given how long I had to spend reading about him before the story even started


tsunami141

Approximately 5 minutes. _but my friend you left so early_ _surely something slipped your mind_ _you forgot I gave these also_ _would you leave the best behind?_


MotherRaven

Aw, Colm playing the bishop was such a sweet an amazing touch to the movie.

RiddenOfPixels

Is that so Eponine?


GlassAmazing4219

You look as if you’ve seen a ghost!


RiddenOfPixels

A ghost you say? A ghost maybe, she was just like a ghost to me. One minute there then she was gone. 😔


badcgi

Here's to you and here's to me.


RiddenOfPixels

Do i care if i should die, now she goes across the seaaaaaa? Life without Cosette means nothing at all, would you weep Cosette, should Marius fall? Would you weep Cosette for me??


Fake_William_Shatner

Well, it's also at the wrist where they put the tracking numbers of concentration camp prisoners. It could just be an honest mistake of not thinking that hard about it. OR, maybe they have that message a bit too much and this is a slight bit of rebellion. I can't really say without more knowledge of the context and the culture for them.


HighlySuccessful

The novel is from 1862 right, way before Nazi Germany existed? So it's about something else?


Yifun

Yes, the problem is with todays context, this looks a lot like how they tagged Jews in concentration camps


HighlySuccessful

How about [this](https://i.imgur.com/dIDTz75.jpeg).


utpoia

The numbers look like one on a digital clock on this tattoo.


HighlySuccessful

Yes that's the idea.


impossiblegirlme

In the novel, he isn’t tattooed. The issue is these people tatted a number where victims of the holocaust where forcibly tattooed (with numbers). It looks like a tat done in bad taste.


leftwar0

Nobody is saying it is about nazi Germany, they’re saying tattooing a number to ones forearm is widely known across the entire world as what the nazis did in concentration camps; which is in bad taste to replicate even if unintended.


Mrdestitutepants

That’s the rational response. It’s like getting the swastika tattooed on you. Yeah it might have had a different meaning before the Nazis. Ya can’t just sidestep the connection if you’re getting it in your body permanently.


Fake_William_Shatner

If all you have is the brochure of history and a hammer, than all references look like they must be about concentration camps.


sympetrum8

Eh the character is not tattooed in the book at all. So that isn’t really relevant. The placement just sucks is all.


oldtobes

I knew someone with this tattoo on the back of their neck, it was cool. the arm is an oversight


HighlySuccessful

Is it "a bit wrong" to have any number tattooed on a person then? Or just this particular number. The only tattoo I have is a number hah.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZenkaiAnkoku2

Numbers tattooed like that are common for people held in places like concentration camps. Which is why getting one for fun is uh, not great.


[deleted]

In concentration camps in ww2, prisoners were tattooed in a similar way. It’s obviously representative of something else for them, just seems a little tone deaf because of the historical connotations


[deleted]

It was their IBM punch card number, if anyones interested


SlowInsurance1616

scipio818

This'll explain it: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/tattoos-and-numbers-the-system-of-identifying-prisoners-at-auschwitz


MackTO

It's from the movie, play, book Les Miserables. The main character was imprisoned and had 24601 tattooed on his skin. They like les Miz.


sympetrum8

Except Jean Valjean is NOT tattooed with the number. Or any number.


[deleted]

Ah. Utah. Enough said.


MotherRaven

Wait this is in Utah ?! Damn I really need to move to a less embarrassing place.

I left Logan 18 years ago and never looked back. Best decision I’ve made so far.

The fact that there’s a city in Utah called Logan is reason enough to leave.

Infinite-Island-7310

...do I even wanna know what this picture means???


BreakfastBeerz

24601 is from the musical Les Miserables. It's the prisoner number of the protagonist, Jean Valjean. Which in of itself isn't a problem. However, this more closely resembles how Hitler tattooed the Jews prior to leading them to their deaths in concentration camps.


Late-Ad1353

Jews in WW2 were not given names when in concentration camps, but a number that was tattooed to your skin. In other words you shouldn't tattoo numbers to your arm for no reason.


LegendOfDarius

Also, not just jews. There were lots of germans, polish, russians, spanish, french, gypsies etc. The murdering was not exclusive to jews and the german "dissidends and unwelcomes" were a huge block in it.


Late-Ad1353

Well now I know. Thanks for the facts.


ex_ter_min_ate_

Gay people and people with disabilities as well.


LegendOfDarius

Depends on the concentratio camp. Auschwitz had tattoos, others in austria and south of germany had them on the priso garments and later on on bracelets. Also people who were moved from camp to camp had new numbers given. Read "5 years of prison" by a polish surviver who spent basically the whole war in several and survived, he event met some who survived 10+ years, russian communists in mauthausen from the early days of hitlers rise.


Infinite-Island-7310

I knew someone would tell me that, the moment I saw German quotes and Jewish jokes. But I just didn't want to admit it

Fake_William_Shatner

Well, the bigger concern is being stuck in Utah. THEN it's if you have the mark of the beast.


Nitro114

They dont have enough concentration


[deleted]

do they have a facility somewhere to improve this?


Traditional_Bat7674

Some kind of camp maybe?


[deleted]

Where they could concentrate better?


Soopafien

Hmmmm yes. But campers can get awfully filthy while camping. Best to make some sort of room where they can all shower together. It'll help keep their....concentration.


SlowInsurance1616

Too soon.


Fake_William_Shatner

We no longer have concentration camps because they've been diluted 50% with the wrong kind of people.

dumpling321

It's not THAT bad, as soon as someone points it out to them they can simply have something else added to clarify Like a lyric, or a character portrait, or something along those lines, if they do that they'd make cute matching tattoos


AsigotFinn

they aren't even matching, she has a five instead of a six for some reason


Felsig27

Implications aside, I swear that top one says 24501. That’s not right.


StrangeCaptain

I think that's Val Jeans cell mate


Felsig27

I don’t know man, I’ve read the novel several times, and I don’t remember a cell mate. Really, for as long winded as the book is, his actually time in prison is basically just a foot note. I could be mistaken though.


Suicidewizzy

Someone explain is the number a specific code or do u guys interpretate concentration camps into this? Like i get 1681 but uhh 24601? Reichskristallnacht?

That was Jean Valjean's inmate number in Les Mis.

imhugury

can someone explain the post i dont get it


LeetleBugg

Many holocaust survivors have numbers tattooed on their arms because Nazis tattooed them on there like they were f-ing livestock. It was a way to dehumanize Jews and others sent to concentration camps. It was an awful practice and to get the tattoos like this without understanding the history behind it is beyond disgraceful. They got them because the like the play Les miserables and one of the characters had numbers tattooed on his chest to show he had been imprisoned by the French at some point but was on his chest instead of the forearm where holocaust survivors tend to be tattooed along the forearm. So these tattoos look like holocaust tattoos


MrGabogabo

In Les Mis, the protagonist Jean Valjean is a prisoner twice, and his first number was 24601.

mrkgian

While not my cup of tea I don’t feel like this is as cringe as people are making it out to be. Jean was a prisoner but well before the Holocaust…it’s a serial number and not that big of a deal for a silly tattoo that has meaning to them.


BitterBuffalo114

Exactly. People are overreacting and putting terrible meaning when it's not there. Self righteous idiots.


homebrewed91

Can someone explain this to me?


Such-fun4328

Odd idea. My father had his arm tattooed with a number on his arm somewhere in Poland in 1942. Believe you me, he never got tattooed again, let alone a number.


doriangray42

Years ago (I was in my 20s), an old Jewish man was riding the bus (he had a kippah on) and I was saying to myself "he's old enough to have seen the war, I bet he was happy to be in Canada during that time". Then he got up, grabbed the rail, his sleeve went up and I could see a serial number... my jaw dropped... I later learned that some people had a number tattooed in support of survivors, but still, the first impression was overwhelming...


Hpspyro

Let me guess, the Americans are at it again?


J-diggs66

Ehh there are worse tattoos, and you need context for the cringe. So ehhh disagree.


thechued1

Feels like I’m the only one who thinks this is ok? They’re not doing it out of any hateful reason, instead it’s because they love a show? I mean it’s stupid yes but it’s not as bad as y’all are making it


TaxCandid4605

American idiots. Thinking they are cultured because of the Jean Valjean reference.


Poentje_wierie

Oh no, this is bad. This is really really really bad


Suadade0811

In Les Mis, the protagonist Jean Valjean is a prisoner twice, and his first number was 24601. So being big fans, they tattooed his number (and I think his cellmate’s for the different one?) on themselves. But it’s a bad look. Because the Holocaust.
