Vacuous truth Memes

The couple's sweet exchange about loving each other even as worms is ironically juxtaposed with a definition of vacuous truth—a logical statement that's technically true only because its condition can never be satisfied. Like saying "If I were a worm, you'd love me" is true because the person will never be a worm. It's the mathematical equivalent of promising to do the dishes when pigs fly. Relationship promises 🤝 logical fallacies.

The beautiful trap of formal logic strikes again! While normal folks hear an absurd hypothetical and react with confusion, logicians are smugly nodding because the statement is technically true. Since unicorns don't exist (sorry, fantasy fans), the condition "when all unicorns learn to fly" can never be satisfied. In formal logic, this makes the entire "if-then" statement true by default—what logicians call a "vacuous truth." It's like promising to give everyone a million dollars if the sun turns into chocolate pudding. Technically, I haven't lied! The whole field of mathematics is built on these pedantic technicalities, and some of us are way too proud of understanding them.
