[–] BunnyKnuckles@startrek.website 24 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Is ty supposed to be thank you? Like (thank you)^-1 or thank you... NOT!? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yeah, inverse thank you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) That would mean that when normal people have close to zero gratitude, your gratitude would tend to infinity. This is the kind of guy who always thanks the bus driver. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago But what if a normal person is slightly ungrateful about something? permalink fedilink source parent [–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago sup fuck you permalink fedilink source parent [–] chicagohuman@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wouldn't inverse thank you be "welcome?" Pronouns welcome! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sloogs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Now you've got me thinking about it. Time to nerd out, I guess, haha. From an algebraic perspective, it would be whatever "undoes" a thank you. From a logic perspective, it would be something that is the complement of a thank you, and contradicts a thank you given ty ∧ ¬ty or is a tautology when ty ∨ ¬ty. "Welcome" doesn't seem to quite fit for either of those cases. "Not thank you" or "ungrateful" do indeed seem closer. permalink fedilink source parent
