Shanks Law[edit]

A humour piece I saw a while back - With the phrase '8 out of 10 scientists say' you just have to find the right 8 scientists.

As a non-under-the-computer programming-bonnet person - how feasible would a 'mad theory' version of the post modernist generator be? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:09, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Time Cube Law and talk page discussions[edit]

How does the TC law apply to discussions on wiki talk pages?

Not the 'sequence of (42) discussions - someone "do" an archive' which happens regularly, but the 'excess of colon-indent and (reset) exchanges (sometimes on the WP Main Page talk page over 'so what, it will be gone in a day so it is not The End Of Civilisation As We Know It' topics).

Saying that probability "increases exponentially" in this context is mathematical nonsense and is a cargo-cult attempt at appearing intelligent through use of jargon that the writer does not really understand (misuse of "exponentially" being a very common example of this). It would be more correct to say "the likelihood of the author not being a lunatic decays exponentially" or "the likelihood of the author being a lunatic approaches 1 asymptotically". — Unsigned, by: 98.102.150.67 / talk / contribs

Is the Time Cube Law related to the Square-Cube Law - or does it equate more to a Square-Tesseract Law? Anna Livia (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Skitt's Law[edit]

Will be affected by there being a multiplicity of varieties of English - and this can be brought into the discussion to extend it. Anna Livia (talk) 16:03, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Barndolini's Law[edit]

Perhaps this should get a mention here? After all, the present-day Internet vastly accelerates the process of publishing, replicating, and mutating bullshit, while the filter bubbles and echo chambers it fosters ensure further obstructions to debunking attempts.

You mean Brandolini's Law? But yes. --Gospatric (talk) 09:42, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Break into individual pages[edit]

These pages would be much more visible from search engines if they were individual pages. SocialismDoneLeft (talk) 06:33, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
