You'd think David Hume would've been the first to come out with an opinion.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. But they are indiscernable, so by Mr Leibniz's famous principle... they're the same picture.

Takes me back to my stand-up routine based around Choco Leibnitz and Fig Newtons. I did find it difficult to integrate it into the rest of my set though

The moment we have feared has arrived @able-baker.bsky.social

Woke up & saw this. Curious. Didnโ€™t quite get it but figured there was a there there. But went no further, despite recognizing ruthburns obvious effort to make a little Isaac Newton art work. Then I saw folks actually responding so I *had* to go deeper en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz...

Hah. Excellent! On a literary, rather than mathematical, related note: There's a town in Scotland called Crook of Devon. For a while its "Welcome To" sign provided the additional information "Twinned with The Thief of Bagdad".
