I just wrote an essay about his justification for induction. I thought it was a stupid argument at first. But then, I looked up his biography, and decided to give it second interpretation. I also skimmed through Experience and prediction: an analysis of the foundations and the structure of knowledge and realized the whole book is kinda trippy. I came to the conclusion that the argument I read was only one part of a larger argument. The whole book was laying out the other premises.
I know logical empiricism is dead. But, what's salvaged by his project?
Just an idea, but has anyone done any research on the scientific philosopher Hans Reichenbach? Perhaps his work may have something to do with how Sherlock managed to fake his own suicide. Maybe something Hans theorized might help to rule out any body doubles or doppelgangers in some of the current Reichenbach Fall theories
Could anyone please fetch this for me?

Thanks!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Hey everyone,
This is an open thread to discuss, well, anything. For example, all of my work deadlines are stacking up into the next two weeks because people believe they can rush to finish design and get construction started before the worst winter weather arrives. I appreciate the optimism, but disagree with logic.
I'm also reading three books: The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen, From Copernicus to Einstein by Hans Reichenbach, and Hell's Angels by Hunter Thompson. The first is really enjoyable. I'm floored by Cohen's accurate and eloquent description of academia. I also enjoy his humor. Reichenbach's book is a short tour/history of physics. I've read it before, but something prompted me to pick it up again. If you're interested in physics, it's a concise introduction with very low entry requirements. I've read Hell's Angels two or three times on an e-reader and I finally bought a physical copy for my library which arrived last night, so I couldn't help by read the first two chapters. The themes are as relevant today as they were when published - making this a timeless book. It's also pre-gonzo Thompson, so you get the benefit of his insight and talent without some of the narrative effects of his later work.
So let us know what's on your mind if you're so inclined.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
And now I’m cannelloni
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
