It isn’t just the dash, it’s the contrast. To max out the slop score of the sentence, you should always cram in a three item list, no matter how little sense, utility or value it holds.

And so do some humans. I guess this kinda stretches the definition of food….

I’m calling it the gender and sexuality space, and it’s mostly based on the ideas presented in the gender unicorn infographic. It instructs you to evaluate yourself on 12 different axes, which means you could view this matter as a 12D space in which every individual inhabits a single point.

Some of the axes are just labeled “other”, which doesn’t feel rigorous enough, but let’s just go with the 12D space for the time being. If you were to collect enough data, some interesting 12D shapes could emerge. Maybe there are overlapping “cloud” shapes in the population, who knows.

You’re multiplying two numbers while ignoring the unit. Think of it like a vector instead = (2, 0.5). The two numbers represent two different axes, so multiplying them together doesn’t really mean anything.

Regardless, initially I still enjoyed the clever joke. 😄Unfortunately, I ruined the fun by thinking about it way too hard. ☹️
