I'm not very familiar with this, but I think this is about the Riemann Hypothesis. That is the Riemann Zeta Function set to equal zero, and the Hypothesis is a conjecture that the Function will only equal zero when s is a negative even integer, or a complex number with a real part of 1/2.
The Hypothesis is a long-time unsolved maths problem, so the joke is that you have to solve that potentially impossible problem in order to get the password. The extra funny part is that since the conjecture being simply true would make a terrible password, the joke suggests that some other solutions for s do exist, and they can be expressed so neatly that it could be used as a valid password.
Edit: the Hypothesis being true could also work, if the proof could be expressed simply enough.
There are infinitely many zeroes to the Riemann Zeta Function, the conjecture is not about existence, but rather the location of all nontrivial zeroes on the critical line Re(s) = ½.
I had a roommate who set our wifi password to the numbers 1-20 in alphabetical order. It was funny the first few times but got old fast. Even if you had it pre-solved and written down, you were still putting in a 30 digit password to every new device.
This joke doesn't work. The equation given for the Riemann Zeta function only works when Re(s) > 1, in which case there are no zeroes, so the password would be the empty set.
You straights never cease to amaze me, you’ve been with your girlfriend for almost a decade and didn’t bother to learn what day you guys went official?
Chill man i'm gay theres no reason to be dragging your sexuality into this. Some people ease into relationships gradually and so dont have a set anniversary date
Hey pick-me, it’s a pretty well known thing that straight dudes don’t care about anniversary’s and the ones that do are literal saints imo. It’s the bare fuckin minimum.
If you think I’m going to care what a random straight dude thinks of me or my life you’re deeply mistaken, go talk to the pick me. He’ll probably let you call him slurs if you feel like it
Mate you're literally telling a gay person that they're straight and don't belong in the community because you don't agree with their behaviour. Imagine how you'd feel if this is what people said to you.
Anyways thank you for being the ONLY fucking person here to show me a shrivel of respect and not say intentionally homophobic shit like that one dude is doing, he’s still going on about the other guy being normal and me not normal.
It’s like, that was the ENTIRE point of my comment, that pick me’s are seen as “normal” because they don’t speak out against anything at all and keep to themselves, it’s just like the army’s don’t ask don’t tell crap tbh.
I do hope you get to see this tesponse but I’m out of here, everybody but you is too much of a dick to communicate with
Well you’re the only one to do so if you’re being honest about it. Everybody else responding to me has literally just proved my point and reinforced that shit lol
You’ve been really respectful so I’m gonna actually attempt to explain myself about my original comment:
Like the straight married dude not knowing his anniversary is literally a TV trope but it also goes into the whole wife bad angle of things that the boomers do, I can admit that I probably went too far with the bare minimum comment but I don’t think attributing it to straight men is that bad of a thing.
It just genuinely pissed me off that someone supposedly in my community would fling themselves to the defense of straight people like I had just said the most awful bigoted thing in the world and then all the responses from obviously straight dudes talking about he’s one of the normal ones and that I’m not? Yeah that fully sent me over the edge.
Thanks for being respectful man, I didn’t expect anybody to show it
What is up with all this projection and fanfiction about my life? It sounds to me like you're insecure about your sexuality and think everyone else gay or bi is too
The pick me had enraged me. I had originally let it go after homeboy said he doesn’t even remember his sisters birthday or how old he is half the time.
Then pick me Timmy needed to come in and spout his worthless shit to get you people to like him, he’s really going for that “one of the good ones” badge with his responses
...the other person is acting completely normal. Given that you're clearly a horrible person, I imagine most people look like a "pick me" compared to you, but they're not.
You should get help. You've got a bi flag in your avatar but you're partaking in bi erasure yourself, and you're extremely angry and resentful of heterosexual relationships, which is an extremely odd stance for a bi person to take.
He is normal. You aren't. It has nothing to do with either of your sexualities. You're a horrible person who is throwing a giant tantrum just because someone you assumed was straight did something you think straight people do.
Your most recent response was apparently so horrible that it got removed by automod. Yikes.
Since apparently you AREN'T doing this ironically, I'm gonna just let you know that the only pick-me here is you. The reason you don't realise it is that you're a pick-me for the far right. You're existing as the charicature that they believe all LGBTQ people are. You're actively saying all the others are like you, and anyone who isn't must be straight. It's literally homophobia.
Yes because a straight dude gets to define what a queer pick me is, god the entitlement is insane from you
“You aren’t being quiet and out of the way therefore you’re one of the weird ones”
Genuinely and I do mean genuinely, how can I say this without automod taking it down…oh genuinely go and listen to Kurt cobain’s last album and let it guide you to the nearest Walmart.
he's not a pick me, he made a valid point about how some people don't have as much of an official date or how some people aren't as good at remembering dates. take some deep breaths
that's not what he was asking. the question is simply an equation. The question that is inferred is find ∀s | ζ(s) = 0 where s ∈ ℂ, though he would spend the first infinite amount of time listing -2ℕ

Still would have been funny without the second speech bubble
It’s weird seeing a “wife bad” comic in the Millenial art style
technically it's a "husband bad" comic
Millennial art style?
Nah, Mark Parisi is a boomer.
Wife bad 🤪😂🤣😂🤣

That’s it!!
If that last part was actually intentional, this is some seriously nerdy stuff :D
Thanks! I try 😂
Damn, good one! And meanwhile I was just trying to remember if this was a calculus or a probability formula.
There are infinitely many zeroes to the Riemann Zeta Function, the conjecture is not about existence, but rather the location of all nontrivial zeroes on the critical line Re(s) = ½.
So, like, he's waiting for the math community to solve it.
Never said the trivial zeroes weren’t allowed
would still take a while
I had a roommate who set our wifi password to the numbers 1-20 in alphabetical order. It was funny the first few times but got old fast. Even if you had it pre-solved and written down, you were still putting in a 30 digit password to every new device.
he’s gonna need a coffee break after this
I don't get how this is necromancy though? This is a pretty good math joke imo
Edit: Ah sorry I thought I was in comedy cemetery
Yes, it does take a while to write down an infinite amount of numbers.
Analytical methods can be invoked for infinite series.
This joke doesn't work. The equation given for the Riemann Zeta function only works when Re(s) > 1, in which case there are no zeroes, so the password would be the empty set.
Okay
The original is funny to me because I've been with my girl for 9yrs now and couldn't tell you when we got together lol
You straights never cease to amaze me, you’ve been with your girlfriend for almost a decade and didn’t bother to learn what day you guys went official?

How tf is it pick me behavior to point out that your sexuality has nothing to do with if youre a douche or not. Bisexual men do that shit too
Because you’re clearly not in our community or you just don’t actually interact with any of your “peers”
This shit being said is common as fuck in the spaces, if you’re offended over an observation you’d hate what some of us have to say.
You’re really giving off the vibe that you’d enjoy being called “one of the good ones”
damn man that's a sad way of living your life
If you think I’m going to care what a random straight dude thinks of me or my life you’re deeply mistaken, go talk to the pick me. He’ll probably let you call him slurs if you feel like it
Mate you're literally telling a gay person that they're straight and don't belong in the community because you don't agree with their behaviour. Imagine how you'd feel if this is what people said to you.
I don't think anything bad of you man, I'm sure you are a cool guy with a warped perspective of people
Anyways thank you for being the ONLY fucking person here to show me a shrivel of respect and not say intentionally homophobic shit like that one dude is doing, he’s still going on about the other guy being normal and me not normal.

you should probably go outside more man
What is up with all this projection and fanfiction about my life? It sounds to me like you're insecure about your sexuality and think everyone else gay or bi is too
dawg what
Why are you so horrible
The pick me had enraged me. I had originally let it go after homeboy said he doesn’t even remember his sisters birthday or how old he is half the time.
Then pick me Timmy needed to come in and spout his worthless shit to get you people to like him, he’s really going for that “one of the good ones” badge with his responses

You should get help. You've got a bi flag in your avatar but you're partaking in bi erasure yourself, and you're extremely angry and resentful of heterosexual relationships, which is an extremely odd stance for a bi person to take.
You don’t get to define what a pick me in the gay community is, at all lol.
Your opinion on what makes a queer pick me is absolutely irrelevant, you already gave it away by saying he’s “normal”
He’s one of the good ones to you
He is normal. You aren't. It has nothing to do with either of your sexualities. You're a horrible person who is throwing a giant tantrum just because someone you assumed was straight did something you think straight people do.

he's not a pick me, he made a valid point about how some people don't have as much of an official date or how some people aren't as good at remembering dates. take some deep breaths
You gotta be trolling. Maybe it’s something important to you but it isn’t to everyone
I dont even remember how old I am half the time. I get my 5yr olds birthday mixed up with his sisters. I don't do from malice lol
idgaf tbh
their partner just said an equation. what is the password? ∀s that satisfy it written one after the other? or what?? (I'm normal btw)
Basically, there is no solution to the equation, it’s one of the millennia math problems
that's not what he was asking. the question is simply an equation. The question that is inferred is find ∀s | ζ(s) = 0 where s ∈ ℂ, though he would spend the first infinite amount of time listing -2ℕ
"Undefined"?
s does not exist and there are infinitely many solutions for the analytic continuation of this series known as the Riemann Zeta function.
its 12345678
did something update while I wasn’t looking
I swear my brain lagged on this one
