When Gauss Meets Real Life

Gauss meets real life. Also - Notice how people lifting 95 already say, “Fuck it, let’s do 100” - so there’s a discontinuity point. Mathematical theory faces reality. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 130

A screenshot of a tweet explains how people lifting 95 kilograms often jump straight to 100, creating a discontinuity in the progression of weights. Below it is a photograph of a weight-stack machine labeled in five-kilogram increments, illustrating the joke that mathematical continuity does not always match real-life behavior.
