Not me

Just bought one. Thought people be interested.

He ain't getting any MPG with the seat that low.

matt damon?

Yay! Good call.

matt damon?

But do you really think Ben Affleck would have let him outside by himself?

matt damon?

nah he's too busy ****ing sarah silverman

i'm ****ing sarah silverman, even if she is too tall for me.

You know, with the way industrial agriculture relies so heavily on petroleum-based fertilizer, that shirt is not necessarily accurate.

Furthermore, how'd that shirt get to your house?

it doesnt matter if a million gallons of petrol and 1000 dead kittens were used to transport that shirt to someones house or manufacture the bike, the statement is still true. The you can ride an infinite amount of miles and the bike doesnt consume any gasoline, therefore, its MPG (miles per gallon) is infinite.

Just like they dont calculate the petrol used in the transportation of your auto to the dealership, and the manufacture of it, into its milage.

Furthermore, how'd the bike get to your house, or at least lbs? how'd it get made?

And also note that it still takes fuel to propel a bike. You just have to consume it, which made it to you by, you guessed it.

I have read however that 1 gallon of gas has ~32,000 Calories. You could get pretty far on that on a bike.

They aren't directly transferable. If you could drink a gallon of gas and get 32,000 calories of energy that would be excellent.

Youd get fat before you could burn very much of it.

Ok, I'll just have a cup.

I like the shirt, even if it's not technically true that by riding a bike instead of a car you're not still participating in the burning of fossil fuels, it's thought provoking, and opens a discussion. With gas prices hurtling for the $4 per gallon mark I think people will be getting more and more receptive to that message. It's easier to be in denial about truths you'd rather not face, like that you can't keep driving to the video store whenever the mood strikes you, when it doesn't cost $60 to fill your tank every week.

Bikes aren't allowed on the highway...you get zero MPG highway.

Actually, they are allowed on the highway, just not the Interstate a.k.a. expressway. Highway riding is also more efficient for cyclists as stop and go city traffic is a real energy drain whether you're burning gasoline or carbs.

Mr Fashion missed a belt loop.

YEAH **** BIKES! They use WAY too much petroleum and are the reason America is So Dependant on Foreign Oil! Bikes are terrible for the environment! BIKES CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING AND OIL WARS!

If I didn't like my current sig so much...

If your bike and it's parts were taken from the waste stream, there is no environmental cost. Even buying a new bike or several new bikes is far less environmentally costly than buying a car. Oil changes alone make cars worse for the environment than bikes.

I was rebutting an idiotioc absolute based on irrational parameters.


edit; this is a seperate statement:
Any number divided by 0 gallons is undefined, not infinite.

lim
x->0 would work, but only in a calculus forum.

Nobody said it took 0 gallons to go infinite miles. Maybe they mean you can go an infinite number of miles on some finite number of gallons? Take that Mr. Smartypants.

Oh, and use digg3prize for the cupon code and get it for $6.

If I did the math correctly 32,000 calories should power a bicycle for 1066 miles @20mph average. That would be a cool t-shirt.

You can't go an infinite amount of miles. It is a theoretical representation of a concept, not a tangible number (or a number at all for that matter - I hear this nearly every tues and thurs)

Very clever though, kemmer.

I believe the correct way to state that is "infinity is not a real number." Infinity can be treated like a number to do useful things, kind of like the square root of -1.

The root of -1 or i is an imaginary number, but a number nonetheless.
Infinity is not any type of number. It's more like the variable x, than anything else. It's just a place holder for further explanation.

oh no im having flashbacks to p-chem/quantum

methinks we need al gore to settle this one

They aren't directly transferable. If you could drink a gallon of gas and get 32,000 calories of energy that would be excellent.

Calories are the SI unit of energy. Well calories with a lower case c. Food Calories have an upper case C ad are 1000 calories.

I would definitely get this for 6 bucks if a friend of mine didn't have the identical shirt. I wonder what other sales Threadless is having right now...

Yeah well, remember what they used to say about i? There are whole branches of mathematics dedicated to infinity so comparing it to the variable x is hardly fair.

Yeah I remember, always poking it's dot where it doesn't belong. All I'm saying is that infinity is a representative symbol, and not anything tangible or even definable. Though it is an important one.

For example, infinity minus infinity does not equal zero.

i minus i does equal zero however.

Think of it like this: multiply infinity by 2. That equals infinity. Now from that, subtract infinity that wasn't multiplied by 2. Your answer is not zero(infinity minus infinity,) nor is it infinity (2infinity minus infinity.) It's undefined.

The bottom line is that this is a cool shirt even if it's not really accurate and arguing about math is really dorky.

Which is why a buncha bike dorks are doing it?

Although... arguing about infinity does sorta smack of 3rd grade. I know you are but what am I INFINITY!!!

It's not cool if you're a math dork. It's like watching (insert favorite sports movie) and noticing all of the innacuracies. Or using you're/your wrong on something printed.

Or being a computer programmer and watching movies where some l33t h4x0r is doing something absurd. Ugh.

Ugh is right. The only one of those I could ever stand was Anti-trust, which was admittedly a pretty good movie.

;)

Youd get dead before you could burn very much of it.

Fixed 4 u

Edit: yes, I just replied to something form page 1

I like to reference the kids in Hackers using joysticks to hack into computers around work

"Thank god they don't have joysticks then we'd be screwed"

Also this whole debate is moot since, as I said, petrochemical fertilizer produces like 99% of the world's food, the key part of that word being "petro," as in petrol, as in you're pretty much eating oil, as in the human body is fueled by the food it eats and will not function without it therefore by expending energy riding a bike using calories that were obtained from food fertilized with an oil product you are operating at well below infinity mpg.

Unless you follow a strictly organic diet, in which case you might be close, but we have to account for cheatin' farmers and eating out, etc.

way to nerd the joint up dudes.

I've had the hoody since last fall. Just bought the tshirt.

Also bought the Color Coded Criminals (http://www.threadless.com/product/983/Color_Coded_Criminals) and the Making Work Fun (http://www.threadless.com/product/1120/Making_Work_Fun) tshirt because, no matter how dead the fashion may be, I will always love funny/ironic tshirts.

Edit: btw to all the math idiots commenting on the inaccuracy, just think of it as a limit. When I wear my hoody it is always stupid people who comment on how it isnt actually infinity, but the math majors and engineers think it is pretty funny and accept it, as anything that has a limit of infinity = infinity.

Man, I just hacked a Gibson. By patching into a payphone.

//too cool 4 school

Oh you silly Freegan

I'm not a freegan, I do more than my share of dumpster diving but I also buy stuff. I just feel guilty about it and do it less than most people. In fact, I bought the shirt and the guilt over all the dye and the workers in China and the gas to ship it to me is starting to settle in. Oh God, I didn't think of the cardboard box it will come in. Now I'll have to find a good use for that. ****.

It comes in a nice padded envelope with some stickers usually :D

I ordered one too, and now I am riddled with guilt and self loathing thinking of all the pretty envelopes that might have been frolicking in a meadow somewhere had they not been mown down in their prime so that I might get a spiffy new T-shirt delivered to me on the backs of the oppressed US Postal workers. :cry:

I got my shirt. It's sweet. :D

this whole argument is a waste.

is there anything you guys generally like on this forum? or does everything have something wrong with it?

I got the shirt AT Threadless, foregoing the SHIPPING, and RODE there on my BIKE which gets INFINITE MPG because all I eat is BIOFUEL made from LEFTOVER GREASE from the McDonald's DUMPSTER and all my cycling gear is made from OTHER PEOPLE'S USED TEA LEAVES, bonded together with HEMP THREAD.
Christ.

it sounds like u might like the book "Omnivores dilema"
i just finished it and the first half of the book is about agribusiness screwing life over basically
