[β] JayDee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 child) Is this based off an allegory? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world [S] 23 points 1 month ago Yeah, it's biblical. The abbreviated story is that two women were both claiming a baby as theirs, and King Solomon had to make a judgement. He suggested the only fair way was to split the baby in two, knowing the real mom would give up her claim to prevent that from happening. One woman said split it, the real mom retracted her claim, and Solomon gave the baby to the real mom. The joke here is that they split an atom instead of a baby. permalink fedilink source parent
