− | This | + | This comic takes the tastiness of four spheres: {{w|melons}}, {{w|grapes}}, {{w|Earth|Earth}}, and {{w|Moon|the Moon}}. Melons and grapes are very tasty to most people, but the Earth and Moon are [https://news.uchicago.edu/explainer/formation-earth-and-moon-explained made of rocks and metals], which are not very tasty. It is unknown what the line would be like if [[Randall]] included [[Fuck Grapefruit|grapefruits]]. |
− | + | The comic takes these four data points and makes a linear regression with them, which is unlikely to be accurate, given that there are only four points and that they come in very close pairs, making it basically two. Randall interpolates from this line that there must be a medium-sized sphere that "tastes okay". However, since this line is unlikely to be very useful, given the severe lack of data points, this mediumly tasty sphere probably doesn’t exist. Also, it should be noted that edible things are not manufactured in 800-meter (½-mile) spheres, as that may be hard to prepare and consume. The 800 meter wide sphere could also be a small asteroid or other celestial object, but would not be very tasty, as they are made of of rocks and metals, just like the Earth and the Moon. If this is true, then Randall’s extrapolations on the graph would probably be incorrect. Or perhaps the problem is just seasoning, just like the baseballs. However, it is hard to believe that sauce is the solution to making rocks tasty. {{cn}} | |

However, it suggests that if the right seasoning were found, they would be as tasty. Baseballs are balls used in the sport baseball,{{Citation needed}} usually made out of a combination of a rubber or cork centre wrapped in yarn, and covered either by either horsehide, cowside or a synthetic leather. Although most baseballs may not be immediately lethal to consume, baseballs are not likely to be very delicious to eat by the sheer nature of the taste of the materials that make up it, something that any seasoning is unlikely to be able to mask (at least in reasonable quantities). |

− | + | This is the second comic in a row to feature fruit, graphs and predictions, after [[2892: Banana Prices]], and continues the theme of a logarithmic axial scale to facilitate plotting a linear feature (here being interpolated between known data, rather than extrapolated beyond it). | |
