This proof is a banger, but I have a proof that the eqation x^n^ + y^n^ = z^n^ has no integer solutions for n > 2 on my buttocks

Unfortunately I can't share it with you, as there might be british people on this website.

Actually, currently all the Lemmy instances are blocking the UK because of the new porn law. So you are safe.

Oh, you mean... there are currently more Argentines than british on lemmy? Escucharon muchachos? Ganamos*

You're wrong.

Source: British not using VPN... Well, not for Lemmy, anyhow.

Does that mean reddit.uk is gone now?

(It's also why I thought "buy European" being hosted there was dumb, especially post Brexit)

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Oh, that's hilarious.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Damn, we could have just done that rather then having a tea party?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

I haven't yet. I'm waiting to see if the UK can/will do anything to non-UK sites that don't comply.

I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which my buttocks is too narrow to contain

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Formatting is wild there my dawg. Fermat's sufficiently recognisable tho' that I know what it meant to say

The proof is actually pretty simple but the character limit on my instance is too small to contain it

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I updated it

Kinda weird formatting for superscript

[–] eah@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

Andrew Wiles has taken offense.

Your tattoo is likely not a proof, but just a formula. And if I am not mistaken: the assumption that the formula is true, got disproven a few years ago.

I think Lemmy is beyond the eyes of the law. At least, hopefully.
